Players are expected to be at their table on time for the round to begin, if a player is more than 15 mins late they’ll suffer a loss for that game and their opponent will get a 100-0 win.To keep things moving to a schedule no battle round will be started unless both players feel that it can be finished. At this point to enable the game to get to 5 turns played then the players should talk through the turns to see how the game would have reached its natural conclusion. At this point please call a judge over to oversee this to ensure that fair play is being upheld. As this can cause issues it’s up to both players to ensure that they are doing their best to keep the tempo of the game up so that this step isn’t necessary.There are 3 hours allocated for each game, this should be sufficient.After the game has finished players should submit their scores via the BCP app, or hand score sheet to a TO, if anyone has an issue when submitting their scores please speak to a judge for assistance. Once submitted scores are final and so please ensure that you’ve counted all of the points correctly. In the event of any disparity in the scores please contact a judge at the earliest opportunity.The rounds will need to end promptly, any games going over the time limit will be visited by a judge to ensure that things come to a close in a timely fashion.

Painting requirementsTo qualify for the 10 points per game for painting, ALL models should be painted to a reasonable tabletop standard. Ability isn’t being assessed here - only effort. You don’t need to be the best painter in the world but you do need to have tried. This means that models should have a “Three colour minimum” and a finished base, applied in a cohesive format across the entire army.

We want the event to be played in the spirit of friendly competition. The TO’s will be on hand to resolve any rules disputes or queries so please do not hesitate to call them over to ensure you can get on with your game. No player is allowed to give or receive tactical advice during the game. Once pairings have been decided each player is on their own. Any player giving or receiving tactical advice during the game will receive a formal warning. The Geeky Gamer is dedicated to providing a welcoming & harassment free experience for everyone regardless of gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, ethnicity, religion, etc. Thankfully we’ve never had issues at our events historically, but any harassment, bullying, poor sportsmanship or unpleasant behaviour will not be tolerated. We hope that any issues would be resolved between players at the table but if you feel uncomfortable or unable to resolve issues, please inform a TO as soon as possible. The TO will usually provide a warning and guidance on what needs changing. If this warning is not heeded, or in cases of serious deviations from expected standards of behaviour, the TO may force a player to withdraw from the event and venue. Such decisions are at the TOs complete discretion and are final on the day.
