As a Tournament Organizer...
-
In order to be added to the T5S2 standings, an event must meet the following requirements:
-
The event must be open to the public to join (events with entry fees, or those that require a subscription to join are allowed as long as those services can be freely purchased at the time of the event)
-
The event must have at least 8 registered players and run at least 3 rounds
-
The event must use the current Warhammer 40,000 Matched Play rules and be played with armies of at least 1,500 points
-
Final standings for the event must be based on results only; without soft scores.
-
Players on the T5S2 Lifetime Ban List are not allowed to register for, play in, or otherwise participate in the event.
-
-
Once the event is complete, enter the results into Best Coast Pairings (or finalize the results if your event was already run via Best Coast Pairings), and submit the event using this form.
-
Only event standings from the Best Coast Pairings app may can be added to the standings - if your event was run elsewhere it may need to be recreated within BCP (events can be added retroactively!)
