Return of the Galactic Cup

Our club, Powers of the North, will be hosting a year long league. Any are welcome to come and play. We play on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 9am till 5pm at the Cotati Vet's Hall.

Rules & Regs for the Galactic Cup


The Galactic Cup will be a year long league that anyone can play in. Only games at the vet's count.

Each month I will set the points for each army type (40K & Fantasy). These points are going to reflect any up coming tournament events so in February I've set the points at 1750 for 40K as the Bay Area Open is just 3 weeks later and I've set Fantasy at 2000 as the CoC is 1 week after the vet's.

When you arrive at the vets you should have one list already set and printed for each of your armies.

If you do not have both a Fantasy & 40K army that is not a problem, you can just play with the one you have.

Once you play a game turn in results with Doc.

Army restrictions: All current Codex & Army books are legal including the PDF for the S.O.B.'s. Any other White Dwarf or on-line PDF's are not legal until cleared by a committee of 72 vestal virgins.
40K: No other restrictions
Fantasy: No Special Characters & No Folding Fortress

When we gather at the vet's you can pick an opponent or we can roll off to see who plays who.

Missions:
Unless both opponents agree on a set mission, all missions should be rolled out of the book. The one exception is the Fortress mission in the Fantasy rule book. If this mission is rolled just re-roll.

It is permissible for two players to set up a "special" game that is just between them. If this is the case you can have any points use any mission and or Special Characters & Folding Fortress as long as you both completely agree on them.

Scoring:
For each game wins, lose & draw is figured as you would with information from the rule book.

League Results:
As the vet's is a gathering place for many players of different style of games we understand that some players can only play once in a while. Here is our attempt to balance our league games.

Primary Players & Secondary Players:
At the end of the league (the December Vet's) we will calculate all the games.
To be a Primary Player you will need to play at least half the number of games that the player with the most games played that year.
Example: Dave plays 22 games this year and has the most of any player. You will need to have played at least 11 games to be counted as a Primary Player.
Also, to be a Primary Player you will need to play against at least 75% (round up) of the other active Primary Players.
All other players will be called Secondary Players.

Each win is worth 2 points, Draw is worth 1 point and a lose is worth 0.

At the end of the league all wins of a Primary Player over another Primary Player will earn 1 bonus point to the winner players total.

Your total score will be added up and divided by the number of games you have played. This average will determine the League Champion & League Man-at-arms. The League Champion is the Primary Player with the highest average and the League Man-at-arms will be the Secondary Player with the highest average.

OK, that's the working idea. I'm up for any feedback.

Doc
