Ahead of the event
Players should have a fully painted army.
Your list should be supplied to judges via Best Coast Pairings in the week ahead of the event. Please also bring a copy along for your opponent. Please note all players should install the best coast player app ahead of the event to ensure that we can make things run as smoothly as possible. You should indicate all weapons choices, realm choices and artefact choices on your list. We recommend warscroll builder or azyr.

On the day

Battleplans and realm variables will be revealed ahead of each game. We will confirm
a: the battleplan
b: the realm
c the command ability of the realm
d: the realm spell in play (we are limiting realm spells to one per game)

Scoring:
30 points major win
20 points minor win
0 points loss
2 Points for a hidden agenda

Players will pick two hidden agendas ahead of the game and reveal to their opponents. Each hidden agenda scored is 2 points. Hidden agendas can only be picked once across the tournament so choose wisely!

The maximum round score is 34.

Points of units killed (from initial starting list, not including summoned lists) will be used as a further tiebreaker.

Painting prizes will be selected by Matt Lyons of Propainted Podcast and the Painting Rankings. Additionally, Kirton Judges will select a judges prize. Finally players will vote for their favourite army. If you wish to be considered for this prize please leave your army out on the nominated tables after game four.

Facilities:

Parking - there is adequate parking on site. The address is QECC lower school, Barnfield, Crediton EX17 3HX
 

We will offer snacks and light food on site throughout both days. We will have a fully licensed bar open on both days. Additionally, Tesco is a five minute drive away and town is a short walk.
There are a number of small hotels and b&bs across Crediton. We recommend Union Road Moto Velo.

We will be arranging for a semi-organised night out with drinks in Exeter on the Saturday night. Let us know if you’re keen and bring cash for a taxi!
