Things You Need To Bring With You: BRING IT!!!!!!!
Any gaming material that you require to play, including:
• At least one copy of your army roster that is easily legible and correct. Using the sheet provided.
• Copies of the reference materials used to design the army list (e.g. Army Books, Chapter Approved, White Dwarf articles etc).
• Rulebook
• Sufficient dice
• Tape or other measuring device
• Pen/pencil
• Templates
• Glue and/or super glue for those emergency repairs
Army Lists

Armies will be 1499pts in size, no larger!
Army Lists are to be submitted by the 11th of May, which is a Friday. Lists can be sent to my email or PMed to me (email above)
They should be presented in an easily read form.
Army lists allowed are to include army lists from a current Codex released in Australia. If no such army book exists, use a work-in progress list from either the Warhammer 40k Chapter Approved or White Dwarf; if released in Australia at least 30 days before the tournament.

Any ‘official rules’ articles/updates to an army (in either White Dwarf or the Warhammer 40k Chapter Approved) may be used; if released in Australia at least 30 days before the tournament.
You may not use things that require opponent’s permission to use.
Tournament Special Rules
Warhammer 40k 5th Edition ruleset.


All models used must be of the appropriate size and type for the troops they represent.
For the benefit of all players, ‘What You See Is What You Get’ WYSIWYG will be enforced. If players have any doubts about how accurately a miniature represents a troop type, they should consult with the Tournament Organizers prior to the tournament.
This is a loose WYSIWYG, but there will be no grots posing as terminators or the like, if the miniature is a reasonable depiction of what it represents then it will be allowed, as long as there is no obvious deception with the way it works. An example would be using a flamer to represent a melta gun. This will be ok as long as you don’t have other flamers running as different weapons or even flamers. The proxy will have to stick out so that your opponent knows it is a proxy. Once again on this issue consult with tournament organizers if you have any doubts.

Draw
First round draw will be random. Subsequent rounds will be seeded using the ‘Swiss Chess’ system.
You will never play the same player twice.
If possible, we will try to avoid matching regular opponents in the first two rounds.

Scoring System
Battle: 24pts (up to 6 per round)
Sports: 16pts (up to 4 per round)
Presentation: 8pts
Composition: 8pts


Battle
You will score points based on the results of the match:
Scenario Win: 6
Draw: 3
Loss: 1

Sportsmanship
The intention behind sportsmanship is to encourage players to behave in a way that makes the event and games an enjoyable day for all involved.
At the end of the game you will judge how good a sport your opponent was between 0-4.

Things you may take into consideration:
• Was your opponent organised?
Did they have their own gaming supplies (e.g. dice, rules, tape measure, templates etc). Did they play briskly and efficiently, with little time wasting.

• Was your game played without rule discrepancies?
There were either no rule discrepancies, or any discrepancies that you had were worked out in a mutually acceptable fashion (asking a Tournament Official for adjudication when you both have a difference is also a fair way of resolving differences).

• Did your opponent consistently play in a clear and accurate manner?
They did not use a rubber ruler. They were clear in their actions on the battlefield – declaring their intentions, informing you when they were using specific items, etc.

• Did your opponent consistently maintain a positive attitude throughout the course of the game?
When they winning they did not gloat, and when they were losing they did not lose their temper or get disheartened.


Cheating
Zero Tolerance – Cheating, Chipmunking, Sniping

This is a game played for fun so there is no place for this behaviour.

Anyone found guilty of cheating in the tourney will be removed from the premises.

Chipmunking: While all players judged components may work quite well, it is susceptible to abuse, such as deliberately marking down or deliberately marking up opponents to gain an unseen advantage. This is commonly referred to as "Chipmunking" or "Sniping" in the broader gaming community. Anyone suspected or caught in the act will most likely be dismissed out of the tourney, as it is a very unpleasant thing to be doing. So in short, be honest, and be fair.

Other Tournament Organisers will also be notified and the player in question will be "black listed" from future Outpost tournaments.

Army Composition
The intent of any composition system is surely to encourage players to take armies that their opponents will find a challenge but are not over the top.
Army Composition is scored in two ways:
• Getting your lists in correctly and on time (4 points)
• 4 points judged by panel of judges
Theme: Theme will be taken into account if submitted with list, however don’t make it more than a page long as we are lazy and have a lot of lists to mark. With painting put a small description with the army during player’s choice voting so judges can identify the theme applied to the miniatures.

Using an illegal list or one different from that submitted: Illegal lists if found will have to be modified and points penalties incurred, however if you deliberately tried to get away with it you will be accused of cheating (see above). The organisers will assign appropriate penalties, which may be lessened if they have missed the error in your list when it was submitted.

Things to will be looked for when marking composition:
• What are the list’s weaknesses and strengths?
What is the army’s strengths and do its drawbacks balance out the strengths so that it can be dealt with.
• Is the army themed?
Is the army designed to look like a specific style, depict a certain type of force, etc. This should not be an excuse for an unbalanced list though.
• Are the characters over-powered?
Has the person abused their ability to upgrade their characters or selection. Have they made them into a next to unstoppable killing machine or taken multiple characters just for special abilities to increase his armies strengths.
• How have units been chosen?
Have units been picked to provide a nice uniform army that provides a good force when in sync or have the most powerful units been picked and taken to slaughter all that come against them without support.

Army Presentation
Presentation points are judged in the following way:
• 0-8 points Marked by a panel of judges during players choice voting, if you don’t set your army up and leave your name tag with your army during this stage you will get zero for this category.
Things that will be considered but not limited to:
• Amount of army fully painted (ie. Is the entire army painted)
• 3 colours, based (this is the expected standard)
• Extra effort (lining, shading, more than just sand or flock base, etc.)
• Characters stand out.
• How units can be told apart
• Conversions


Scorecards
You will be given a results score-sheet to fill out for each game. Please ensure the score-card is filled out correctly and that both players have signed off on the results, and then bring it to Tournament Organiser's desk. Points may be penalised for incorrectly filled out sheets.

Prizes & Awards
No player can win more than one category.
The winning categories:
• First Overall - The highest combined score of all categories.(Ties decided by Victory points, Sportsmanship & Composition and then Army Presentation.)
•Second Overall
•Third Overall
Genesis Award – to the highest placed under 18
• Best Army (players choice) – determined by players choice votes during lunch.
• Best Sports – The highest Sportsmanship score.
• Wooden Spoon – for that person whose day just didn’t go well!



Disclaimer
All tournament players will be responsible for their own transportation, storage and due care of their own personages, figures and materials on the day.

How much and is payment due on the day?

[difsta]

not sure if it bothers you or not, however Downfall in ballarat has been organised for that weekend since early december http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=128421
I was keen on coming to this, however I have already committed to Downfall

[Mattmana]

Hello ladies and gentlemen

Daan the TO listed in this players pack has had to pull out and I am taking over.

NEW T.O.: Matthew Edwards

Contact: edwards.matthew.john@gmail.com

We apologise for the short notice but behind the scenes has gotten in the way.

I hope to see many of you at RAMPAGE!!

Added Playerpack correction: Army Lists are due on the 4th of May NOT the 11th (I need time to read them all)

onto the questions.

1. Payment in $30 AUS.
2. Payment is welcome on the day.
3. We were unaware of a conflicting tournament but have had our hall booked for months and cannot change the date.
4. I am allowing first round grudges, first in best dressed


NOTICE: fully painted armies are not required at RAMPAGE. However, failing to paint your miniatures will result in a zero for you painting score (and will thus likely eliminate you from winning the tournament)

[ZarkinFrood]

I'll sign up:

Patrick Brosnan playing Sisters of Battle.

Cheers

[dragonhost20]

Was pretty sure it clashed with Downfall but sign me up anyway (Duc Le). Also Jason Collins (interstate NSW) was the Golden Ticket Winner. Probably be playing Tyranids

[nzwoodman]

I'm keen - Richard Wood

[mr tickles]

Im in, Mitchell van horssen

[Kn'Thrak]

I'll make the trip over.

I agree with Josh though - put some serious thought into changing the date so it doesn't clash with another tourney. There isn't enough Vic tourneys this year so scheduling two at the same time is plan stupidity.

[Saxon]

I'm there - time to defend the title....

[Welsh Rarebit]

I'll make the trip over.

Thats why we have a Calendar.

[Mattmana]

Thats why we have a Calendar.

This is true and again I apologise, however organising with our venue and previous T.O. mean that the date has been locked in for a while and cannot be changed.

again, sorry.

[Dark Pariah]

I'll be back, so sign me up.

Hughesy

[admiralw]

Sign me up I will go again this year

Wayne

Strangely enough, I do have one.

Can I Grudge 1st round? Don't think I'll ever get to play you unless I do now

[Dark Pariah]

Well if grudges are on and Ken Rolland turns up, my crosshairs are firmly locked.

[mr tickles]

Can I Grudge 1st round? Don't think I'll ever get to play you unless I do now

I already had someone that wanted to grudge me a while ago, but it doesnt seem like he can come any more so it sounds good to me
