Thunder Point Tournamemt Rules
Game Play:

  1. You Must use SLI 2.1 to participate.
  2. Each game will have a BattleMaster (BM). The BM will be chosen at random for each round of the tournament. The BM will have the choice of either picking a side (good or evil) or who goes first for the first game. After the BM makes his/her decision their opponent will make the remaining decision. Each game thereafter you will switch sides, and the loser of the previous game will choose who goes first. BM decisions should be declared before you lay your terrain tiles.
  3. You will have one week to complete each round.
  4. The person with the best (not necessarily the fastest) connection and CPU/Memory should host the game.
  5. If you are behind a firewall then you will not be able to host a game, but you can join one.
  6. It is your responsibility to get with your opponent and set up times to play.
  7. Each tournament game must be a ranked game (it's an option when creating a game). If it is not then the results of the game(s) will not be counted towards winning the round (call it practice).
  8. Play by the rules stated in the manual. If you need rule clarification, refer to the message board or ask me.


Winning Conditions:

  • The first person to win at least one game from each side (good and evil) will advance to the next round.
  • In the final round the first person to win at least one game from each side (good and evil), and have at least 3 total wins will be crowned champion.
  • If your round goes 10 games without a winner then there will be a sudden death game. The person who was not the orignal BM will now be the Battle Master. The winner of the sudden death game will advance to the next round.


Disclaimer/Notes:

  • Network communication is not perfect so from time to time unexpected results will occur (i.e. have to reveal a piece twice, terrain piece missing, piece lost, or game disconnect). If a show stopper occurs at the beginning of the game, quit the game and try some of the following:
    • Have the other person host, if possible.
    • Don't lay your tiles and pieces simultaneously with your opponent. Take turns.
    • During the game take it slow, if you click on something and nothing happens be patient. It will eventually work, if not try to type something in the chatbox.
      • If you get a disconnect message then try to reconnect, this is done by clicking reconnect under file(make sure you are still connected to the internet before reconnecting).
  • If a show stopper occurs in the middle of a game or at the end, work out a solution that is fair for your situation. Remember it is only a game. If you cannot agree, then both players need to email me with their side of the story, and I'll make the final decision.
  • I have the right to kick anyone out of the tournament.
  • I have the right to amend the rules at anytime (First tournament, so who knows what I have forgotten).
