How does escalation league work?
(all the clerical work that goes into the league is done in discord, so if you'd like to participate but are not part of our server, please join at https://discord.gg/bastiongames)

In season 3, the league will consist of three 4 week long rounds.  These rounds will start on Wednesdays to allow as much planning time in advance of our dedicated wargaming days on Monday and Tuesday!   In each round you will have 3 opponents to play in separate matches.  For round 1 each group / pod of 4 players will be arranged based on experience level.  Rounds two and three will be based on a swiss pairning style from your performance in the previous rounds.  The goal is to do our best to make sure that players of similar skill levels play each other across the event as much as possible.

After the three rounds, there will be an 8 person playoff round seeded by league standings.  All players making the playoff round will earn prizes.

Prior to the round start date, each player needs to submit up to 2 lists (minimum 1) to BG Nate in discord no later than the last Tuesday of each round.  When you arrive to your match, you will be able to pick which list to use once seeing the faction your opponent will be using.  You will have the option of choosing for each seperate opponent for the round.  

We will be using Chapter Approved 2025-2026 missions.  
Round 1 will be played with Incursion rules.  
Rounds 2 and 3 will both be played with Strike Force rules.  
We WILL NOT be using Challenger Cards.  
We WILL NOT be using Twist Cards.

There will be a game time limit of 4 hours, and there will be a hard dice down rule at 9:30pm.  Please do not ask store staff if you can stay late, as it puts unfair pressure on them.  The 9:30 dice down time is to make sure that everyone has time to properly clean up.  We understand that some people may find it difficult to stay within the 4 hour time limit, but with practice, 2000 point games should be playable in under 3 hours.

TERRAIN: 

We will use Chapter Approved 25-26 layouts.  If an exact replica layout is not possible,
then both players must agree on a terrain layout before the match can begin.  All walls will be
considered to have closed windows and doors.  Ruin Walls will be considered infinite height in regards to seeing over top of them (this is because the store terrain is limited in height, so it will standardize the games for everyone).  Terrain will use true thickness in regards to fighting through them.  All games will be played on the standard 44x60 table size.

*All players are invited to a Terrain Guide/Discussion being held at Bastion Games on February 23rd at 5:30pm.  @DonnyJ will also be at the store from 12-7pm on March 2nd to answer any questions.

LEAGUE STANDINGS:

Standings in the league will be determined by the following scoring guide:

Win: 5 points
Tie: 4 points (ties can only occur if a game is completed and your points are equal)
Loss: 3 points

- If a date cannot be agreed on in the duration of the round, both players will get 3 points 

- If a date cannot be agreed on because one participant isn't available at all, that person 
will get 3 points, and the other 5 points.

- If a date is agreed upon, and one participant cannot make it, a reasonable effort needs 
to be made to reschedule.  If a reschedule is not possible, then the player able to attend 
the agreed upon date gets 5 points, and the person backing out gets 3 points.

If players are tied in points at the end of the 3 rounds, final standings will be based on the following tie break systems:
1) Total Victory Points
2) Total Secondary Points

TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE:

The Playoff Tournament will be a classic single elimination tournament.  The bracket for the tournament will be based on your standing at the end of the 3rd Round.

Sportsmanship and Conduct:

Being humble in victory and gracious in defeat.  We're all here to have fun!  No throwing dice or intentionally not wearing deodarant to throw your opponent off!  The emperor protects!
