LEAGUE STRUCTUREMonth one begins November 2012.
Welcome to the revamped Warhammer Fantasy Escalation League Season 1.5. We have made changes to simplify its structure but also based on feedback from players in the community.
All months build upon the previous month. You are allowed to change wargear between months. You are not allowed to decrease the number of models from the previous months. You are not allowed to switch out units from the previous months.
We need a minimum of 8 players for the League. Maximum number of players is 12.
ESCALATION DETAILSNormal army composition will be applied.First Month (November) : 1000 points
Second Month (December/January) : +500 points
Third Month (February) : +500 points
Fourth Month (March) : 2500 point tournament* (This army list does not have to be carried over from escalation months)
*Note: Not all League players are required to play in the tournament. League members are saved tournament spots before spots are opened to the public.
BATTLE & BONUS POINTSA win earns you 3 battle points, a draw 2 and a loss 1.There are a number of ways to earn and lose bonus points over the course of the league.
Bonus Points:
There are a number of ways to earn and lose bonus points over the course of the league.
‘Artisan’ - Any game played with a fully painted army earns a bonus +1 points
‘Paragon of Virtue’ - Best Sporting player as determined by sportsmanship criteria +2 Points
‘Specter of Death’ – Undefeated, not counting draws and losses within the month + 2 points (minimum 2 games played)
'Slayer of Kings' - Defeats a ‘Specter of Death’ from previous month + 1 Point per
‘Fools Rush In’ - Games played with unfinished miniatures – 1 point per game
'Idle Hands' - A player that does not participate in a calendar month: Put on waitlist
‘Herald of Chaos’ - Players with abnormally low sportsmanship scores and / or complaints regarding his or her conduct within the month: Suspension*
*Multiple occurrences of this particular infraction will result in expulsion from this League, and possibly the ineligibility to participate in other future events held at ComicReaders Downtown.
PRIZESPrizes will be given to top player(s) at the end of each Escalation month. Prizes are provided by ComicReaders Downtown and will be a combination of miniatures and paint. Prizes will be suited (to the best of our ability) to the army fielded by the prize winners.
There will be seperate prizes for the fourth month 2500 point tournament. More details to follow. Points earned during the escalation months do not carry over into the tourament.
GAME SCHEDULE / GAME PLAY / REPORTINGAll games must be played using the pitched battle selection from the rule book (pg 141), chosen randomly as per normal.
A minimum of one game must be played each month, and must be played in the store during the calendar month.
There is no maximum number of games.
All games played against a unique player during the month will count towards ranking; however, games played with an opponent you have played in the previous month will not be counted for points. Example, if Player A played Player B in month 1 and again in Month 2, the game in Month 2 would not count toward points. But Player A and Player B could play each other for points in Month 3. This arrangement fosters diversity in games played.
1000 point games are played on 4’X4’ tables. All other games are played on 4’X6’ games.
You can play with unfinished miniatures, but no proxy allowed if it is not clear as to what the miniature is supposed to represent. In addition, you lose points for playing with an unfinished army. (See "Fools Rush In" in the Bonus Points section.)
Currently, players will not need to submit Army Lists, but if problems start to occur then players will be asked to submit Army Lists to be on record at ComicReaders Downtown.
The store is not available Friday nights and Saturdays due to existing, regularly scheduled events. Please use the SaskGames.com Forums to find out if there are events happening at the store before you schedule your game. Go to the Leagues section of SaskGames.com to contact players in the League.

WANT TO PLAY IN THE LEAGUE?Contact ComicReaders Downtown via email (readers2@sasktel.net), phone (779-0900) or in-person at the store. We will need your first and last name, phone number and (optionally) email address.
Sportmanship Criteria1. Make all their measurements clearly and accurately? (No ‘rubber rulers’ and you could see how far they were moving).
2. State what they were rolling for, what they needed, rolled the dice in plain sight, and did not roll into a pile of dice?
3. Politely answered any question you may have had about the game, including scenario, rules, and their army list? (If there were no questions, mark yes.)
4. Was your opponent patient when you were looking up rules in the rulebooks? (If there were no rule checks, mark yes.)
5. Play briskly and in an organized fashion, and did not stall for time?
6. Remain positive if they were losing, and/or did not belittle you if they were winning?
Every answer of yes is 1 point for your opponent. This will leave you with 4 points that you can award your opponent for an especially enjoyable game. (You do not need to give the whole 4 points. So 0, 1, 2 etc is also possible).
