WYSIWYG 

 

What You See Is What You Get

 

To accommodate the players we have composed some guidelines regarding WYSIWYG:

• Models must be mounted on the appropriate base sizes.
• Models  should represent the appropriate army, or at least not be easily mistaken for another army.
• Models should represent the appropriate height of the official model or at least be of similar dimension to ensure the player cannot be accused of “modelling for advantage”.
• Models should represent the appropriate weapon option (in case of multiple weapon options) according to the Army List.
• Wargear should be represented by the appropriate models

 

Finishing the Game

 

The TO will make sure to have a clear visual countdown of the allowed time per game. You should not start a new battle round unless you are sure that both players will be able to finish their entire turn, to ensure that both players get an equal number of turns.

 

After you have played the full five battle rounds, or the time limit has almost been reached (whichever comes first), it is time to determine the winner. Determine who has achieved any objectives before removing any units. 

 

For individual games:

VP-Difference |	Game Points Player A |	Game Points Player B

6-10	11	9
11-15	12	8

Team Tournament

Team Composition

 

Each player in a team plays a different valid army.

Each Codex or Index may only be used once per team. If someone is using a faction as an allied force, no other player may use this army as their main army or ally. For example, if player A is playing Chaos Knights and using Chaos Daemons as ally, no other player from the team is allowed to field Daemons as their main or allied army.

 

 

Playing at the Team Tournament

 

At the GTC 40k 2024, your team will be randomly paired with an opponent in the first round of the tournament. After this first round and after results have been processed, your team will be matched with an opponent of equal skill or equal luck. This will be based on the Swiss System. 

 

To determine which player faces which player during the rounds, a pairing system is being used.

 

 

Pairing Sequence

Step 1 - “The Opening” (first two pairings)

1. Both team captains select one army from their respective team to put forward and place the card for this army face down.
2. Once both teams have selected an army, turn over the cards to reveal which armies are chosen.
3. Both team captains now select one army from the remaining two to face the opposing army revealed in step 1.2. The army put forward by each team is kept secret and revealed at the same time.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 two more times, so each player from the team has an opponent.
