Lets get the serious bits out the way:

Tournament Organizer The Tournament Organizer, or TO, is the sole authority at Malifaux tournaments. TOs are expected to be fair and equitable in their adjudication of debates and rules questions. Regardless of the outcome, a TOs decision is final. Players are encouraged to work out simple rules disputes among themselves, or with the designated player refs (as a last resort) because the round clock does not stop while waiting for the TO to answer questions.

Sportsmanship Malifaux is designed to be fun for all players. Players are expected to behave civilly and respectfully at all times. When asked, players should provide the information and statistics for models as well as any additional public information. Activations should be played in a timely manner, and players should allow opponents to cut their Decks. Warning System Players are given a single warning when their behaviour toward other players or the TO is considered unacceptable. If the behavior persists, and the TO determines the player to be a disruption to the tournament, it is within the TOs authority to disqualify the player fromthe tournament. Dont be that player. Cheating There is zero tolerance for cheating (other than Cheating Fate, which is, of course, encouraged). If the TO determines that a player is cheating, the player will be immediately disqualified from the tournament. Proxy Rules In an Official Tournament, proxies (substitute models) are not allowed under any circumstances, nor can a player enter a tournament with a model that has not yet been released to the general public. Printed Stat Cards may not be used; players must physically possess the official up-to-date versions for tournaments. All models released by November 5th may be used under these rules, including all Gencon 2011 releases. If you are in any doubt regarding this ruling, please contact me Conversion Rules Conversions are an excellent way to show off your modeling skills. In an Official Tournament, original sculpts are allowed if the TO deems them to be accurate representations of the models portrayed. If using a model that was converted with manufactured pieces, no more than 33% of the finished model may be built using other game companies models, while the rest must be either wholly or a combination of original sculpt or Wyrd-manufactured pieces. Painting Rules In an Official Tournament, a player is required to have fully-painted and based models without any visible bare metal or primer. The paint job should look like the painter made an effort to stay within the lines and enhance the appearance of the model with their painting. Bases should not be bare. The models must be painted by either member of your doubles team. Crew Construction One Faction, One Master, One Boss Before the tournament starts, you must name a Faction, and from that faction, a Master that must play in every one of the Brawls throughout the doubles weekend. This is The Boss For your second Master, you can hire any Brawl Legal Master/Henchman that can match up with The Boss. This hiring must follow all Wyrd/Stat card rules and stipulations. You may hire a different second master every game, as long as it follows the hiring rules as above. You may hire any minions legal to your two chosen masters which can be any combination of both team members models, up to the SS limit. The Boss and your faction choice must be submitted to me no later than th Wednesday 14 March 2012. The Max SS required The maximum you will need is 55 ss Crew Name As with previous events, your Crew must have a name and the best Crew names win prizes Simples. This must be submitted with your Faction choice on the date above.

Scenarios and Game Lengths Fixed Shared Strategy Tournament - Each round, the TO announces the Shared Strategy to be used by the players. The TO selects a different Shared Strategy (Core or Expanded) each round Game Sizes and Times Please refer to the Timetable for game sizes and duration.

Schemes Scheme Usage - Each round, the player has the option to use Schemes. Each player can choose from the General Schemes, Faction Specific Schemes, and Master Specific Schemes as long as the choice is valid based on the Strategy and the Crew being used. Refer to the Rules Manual for the full list of Schemes. Schemes are considered unique, meaning that each Team can select each Scheme only once each day.. This requirement overrides any rule the Scheme includes about being selected more than once (such as Assassinate or Bodyguard). Players are responsible for accurately listing Schemes on their score sheets at the end of each Encounter. The schemes will reset at the end of each day. As with all Brawls, 3 schemes may be taken in each Encounter. Terrain Setup Terrain will be placed in advance and must not be moved by the players. Scoring Tournament Points/Total Victory Points/Victory Point Differential Tournament Points - At the end of each Encounter, teams count the VPs they earned that round. The team that earned more VPs than the opposing team wins the game, and the opposing team loses the game. When each team earns the same VPs, the game is a Draw. o WIN = 3TP o DRAW = 1TP per team o LOSS = 0TP Total Victory Points At the end of the Encounter, teams count their VPs and put these onto their score sheet This scoring format will be used each round. Please ensure when you hand in your score sheets after each round that all details are correct Pairings and Scoring Format The first round pairings are random. After the first round, the teams will be matched based on their TP scores. Teams will always play other Teams with similar TP scores but will not play each other more than once. Byes and Scoring Byes If there are an odd number of Teams in this event, the TO will have to establish Byes for the event. No Team will get a bye round more than once First Round Bye - The last member of a team to arrive at the tournament gets the bye Second Round and later Byes - Each round, the player with the lowest TP Total gets the Bye, but only if they did not already receive a Bye Forfeits and Conceded Games If a team forfeits or concedes a game due to any reason, the opposing team picks up a full score of 3TP/8VP/+8 Diff for the round, with the forfeiting player receiving 0TP/0VP/-8Diff for the round. Determining a Winner TP/DIFF/VP - At the end of the tournament, the player with the highest TP will be named the winner! In case of any ties, the DIFF becomes the first tie-breaker. The player with the higher DIFF wins the tie. If this is also tied, VP is the final tie-breaker, where the player with the higher VP wins.
