General Tournament Rules

The tournament will be played by teams of 5 players with 2000 point armies over 5 rounds of 3 hours and 30 minutes each, according to the General’s Handbook 2023-24, and the most recent Battlescroll at the release cutoff will be used. We will also be using the rulings of the AoS Rules Panel FAQ for any otherwise unclear rules (https://www.aosfaq.com/rulings.html). The tournament will use the Swiss tournament pairing system to determine which teams will play against each other, whereby the first round will be paired randomly.
At the start of each round, the team captains and up to one other player from each team will play a mini-game to determine the individual player matchups. Two battleplans will be played each round, one twice and the other one three times. More details about the pairing process can be found in the rules pack.
All armies need to be fully painted, including any units that will be added to the army during the game.
No allegiance can be included more than once per team, whereby also armies of renown and the faction associated with them cannot both be played (Trugg’s Troggherd/Gloomspite Gitz, Grundstock Expeditionary Force/Kharadron Overlords, Grunta Stampede/Orruk Warclans, King Brodd’s Stomp/Sons of Behemat). Warscrolls cannot be duplicated in more than one list of the same team (but one list can have multiple of the same warscroll). Each Grand Strategy, Artefact, and spell from the Lore of Primal Frost can also only be taken once per team.
Chess clocks can be used if at least one of the two players wants to use one. They will not be provided by the tournament organizers and must be brought by the players.
