5 points will be awarded per turn completed at the event.
25 Points per game will be awarded for gentlemanly conduct.  These are issued or removed at the tournament organisers discretion
Painting.  
Armies must be appropriately fully painted, based on rounds or ovals and cohesive.  
up to 20 points will be awarded in each of these 3 sections at the tournament organisers discretion for a total of 60 points.
Models not painted or on incorrect bases will be removed from the game and counted as destroyed and no points will be awarded for painting
We fully expect everyone to get maximum scores in both these sections, I am not looking to reward excellence
Any questions, send photos in advance to bencurry@baddice.co.uk
Army List
Army Lists that are sent in on time, legal and in the correct format will get 30 points
If your list is late or illegal you will get 0 points.
Army lists must be submitted at baddice.co.uk/listsubmission before midnight on Weds 9th Jan
There will be no leeway on penalties.  It is Christmas and everyone is busy, so if you think it might be a problem over the holidays send it in now.  
The same applies to timekeeping. Ensure you select an army that you are able to play in the time allotted and are keeping track of the time taken during your games.  No-one wants to see the masters decided on a timekeeping penalty or late game.
