Thanks for the last event. It was hugely fun. I'll try something a bit different this time.
We will be using the Battlegroup function.That means that any one can use alts, no one has to buy equipment, no need for equipment checks etc. etc. If everything works it should be much much faster.
In order to make it easier for me to create the battle groups there will be a limit of 3 items per category the commander can choose.
That is three kinds of polearms, three kinds of shields etc. There will be enough of each item for each player except for those items with restrictions. (Typically the commander would chose a light and medium armor of which there will be plenty and a heavy armor which will be restricted etc.)
Draft. Sorta like the nfl or magic. Take your pick.
First off is
commander sign-up. Anyone can sign-up. After some commanders have signed-up a vote will be held and those with most votes will get the chance to command a team.
When the commanders have been chosen they get to draft from the clans signed up. Commander A get one pick, Commander B gets two picks, Commander A gets two pick and Commander B gets two picks. So on and so forth until all teams have been assigned. Starting with the larger clans ending with randomers.
The commander gets to choose equipment within the same restrictions, however there is a limit to the differentiation (around 1-2 pieces of each eq type).
Then the commanders can draft from the Independents signed - up.
Important dates:Battle: 5th of February
I expect it to be 19.00 gmt aka 20.00 cet. (be there 30 min before.)
Rules:Basic rules:
1) Total battle time is 60 min. Expect actual time to be quite some more. Organizing and EQ check takes time.
2) Each round last no more than 10 + what ever is needed for EQ checks.
3) Equipment restrictions:
a) No more than 20% cav, where only 25% of those may be heavier than destrier
b) No more than 20% ranged.
c) No more than 20% with an armor more expensive than 10k (banded armor). This is ONLY the body armor, no restrictions on gloves and footgear.
There are no restrictions on gloves, shields, footwear or weapons (apart from ranged).
d) or any combination there of, that is a horse archer in black armor counts for each three categories.
4) Each clan can sign-up with either 5, 10 or 15 players. I strongly recommend having at least 4-5 substitutes, as people always find excuses not to show up.
Please write how many subs you may be able to bring.
5) 5 spots on each team is reserved for Non-claners. Sign-up here...
7) If the battle ends because of time is out, if a team has more than twice as many players +1 then the win will go to that team.
8) Cav may not delay battles. If it is deemed by the referees that cav or any other player for that matter is drawing out time to get a draw or any such similar the win may be awarded to the opposing team. A win cannot be awarded if the player has not been warned at least two times with 15. sec. in between (which in reality means a player can draw out 30 sec. legaly).
9) I have designed new maps for the turney together with Mustikki.
