PLAYING AND REPORTING YOUR GAMES

Each game will be a Matched Play 2000 point game using the 2024 Pariah Nexus GT Pack mission pack and rules.

Each game will be scored with the most current Grand Tournament scoring metrics.

Chess clocks are allowed and encouraged. Should one player at a table wish to use a chess clock both players must do so.

Rounds are 2h 45m long. At the start of the game split your time evenly removing 5 minutes to account for judge calls. Ie if you start with 2h 35m left give each player 1h 15m.

It is your joint responsibility to ensure the clock is managed correctly and on the correct players time. If you feel the clock is being mismanaged by your opponent please call a judge immediately for resolution

Should a players time reach zero they are unable to act. If they are in the middle of a turn they stop playing immediately. They may only make savings throws (no FNP’s) and morale tests. They may not fight back in combat, move, shoot, use command phase buffs or any other action requiring the player to make a decision. They may score objectives that they hold as well as any secondaries they are eligible to score. It is your obligation to complete your half of the game in a timely manner.

For the two rounds on the top 5 tables Chess Clocks will be mandatory and can be provided.

Once the game is complete, the results of the game can be input into the BCP app or reported to the tournament organizers.

The schedule for each round will be adhered to in order to maintain consistency. If scores are not reported to TO’s or inputted into BCP within five minutes of a round ending, both players will receive a score of zero and the pairings will proceed on as normal and on time.

GAME RULES FAQ & QUESTIONS/DISPUTES

If there are rules issues and questions that arise during a game, it is expected that they are resolved amicably and fairly between the players. The following decision path is suggested:

Refer to GW FAQ’s and Errata: https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/
Refer to the WTC Rules FAQ. They have ruled on a number of issues in relation to particular interactions. http://worldteamchampionship.com/wtc-rules/
Carefully review the exact wording of the ability, stratagem etc.
- Make sure to reference the core rules in how this would be treated if it is phase dependent or linked to specific keywords
Call a Tournament Organizer to make a ruling.

It is highly encouraged to inquire about any potential contentious rules interactions prior to a game being played so a ruling can be made in advance.

Sportsmanship

It is expected that all players are accountable for their actions and conduct themselves accordingly. This is a social game that requires a partnership and understanding between the two players to play properly. One good reference is the ITC Code of Conduct as a guideline for expectations. All sportsmanship and conduct issues will be adjudicated by the tournament organizers. The organizers reserve the right to disqualify any player from the game or event depending on the severity of the infraction.
