Greetings folks. Groupfighting is back for some mid-summer murdering! This tournament bears tribute to one of the oldest participating teams of the tournament, Team Argyll, who only recently, after an injection of Viking power, seized the trophy for the first time in the previous Tournament. This tournament will be held at 19.00 BST/20.00 CEST on Wednesday the 8th of August 2012. I hope to see a lot of you regulars return for some fun summer action and perhaps also to see some new and curious teams emerge. To make this another large and vibrant tournament please keep up the enthusiastic word-of-mouth advertising, as our formal adverts and invitations can only go so far in spurring on players to form teams!
 
On a sidenote you may notice that for the first time it is I, Evanovic, and not Hekko organising the sign-up thread. This is due to Hekko's absence for the following week. He will definitely be available for on the big day of the tournament however, so I have still included his contact details in the thread.

Anyone and everyone is invited just as long as you sign-up on time! Hekko and I retain the right to remove/deny teams that we deem unreliable to show up or if a single regiment has lain claim to an over the top number of teams. (This will however be unlikely). It's also worthwhile to note is that this is a public event and as such you are free to (and I personally hope that you will) make cross-regimental teams.

The format of the tournament is decided based upon the number of teams signed-up, this is done to assure that we have a workable system where no one gets a free pass too far or too late into the tournament. The most common format this far has been single eliminations, but also a system with a pool stage and a knock-out stage have been employed.

1.1 Teams are to contain 7 members. (Going above this is fine, but keep in mind the trade-off is that you will get less playing-time per member.)

1.2 Teams are allowed to have 5 persons fighting at any given time. 2 members are expected to sit out if all 7 persons turn up, but it should not be the same persons every round. This will hopefully stop people from being understregth in the fights. (In the event of a team only being able to 4 people for a given round the opposing team is supposed to only field 4 as well, any number under 4 is tough luck for the team with no-shows, incase the opposing team does not want to go under 4 members to further balance it.)



2.1 No shooting.

2.2 Only line infantry models are to be used.

2.3 Only rankers are to be used.

2.4 Only bayonets are to be used

2.5 Formations are not required since it's all melee.

2.6 There are 5 rounds to every match (will stop once someone reaches 3 to save time). The Final and the Bronze Match will be in a first to 5 format instead.

2.7 The Combatants are not to leave the arena until the fight is over.




3.1 Common sense will be used by the organizers so anything not specificly mentioned may be enacted at the organizers discretion.

3.2 The severity and therefore the course of action following rule breaches will be up to the organizers to judge.

3.3 Don't argue with us mid-event, it unfairly slows things down for everyone else, speak to us afterwards if you feel that we have treated you unfairly.

[Hekko]

Evan's posting the thread this time around since I will be away on a trip until the 5th of August pretty much, which means that I will be unable to maintain it, so for the convenience of all attendees we're doing it this way! Also means that Evan gets to fiddle around freely with his amazing graphics
