Team Sign-Ins: 10am-11:00am @ War Field
Only the captain of the team needs to be present to sign-in. Each captain must provide:
1. A unique banner which should display your company/household/team symbol.
2. Two copies of every magic-user spell list. You may NOT change spell lists between rounds.
3. A complete listing of all team members. Members not on this list will be unable to participate. Each person may only be on 1 team roster.
4. Every team needs to submit two Reeves to aid in Banner Wars when not fighting.
Team Composition Rules: 1. Teams are comprised of 14 people and up to two alternates.
2. Alternates may be swapped into the active line-up between rounds.
3. Team members (including alternates) are assigned classes before the tournament starts and may not switch classes.
4. Your team may have one of each magic using class.
5. Teams may have no more than three bows.
6. Players may only sign up with one team, though pages may be shared
7. Teams do not have to all be from the same company, household, kingdom, etc. They merely need to all play together and present a banner with a unique symbol
8. Banners must be a MINIMUM of 2' x 3' (2 feet by 3 feet) in size and reflect your company/household/team's symbol on it.
General Tourney Rules: 1. Tournament will be Double Elimination style. (If there are fewer that 8 teams, the tournament will be Round Robin style)
2. Teams must be ready and in the On-Deck circles for head count and safety check at the start of the round preceding theirs. When two teams leave to take the field, the on-deck teams immediately step into the circles.
3. The battle can be determined in two ways:
A. One team completely eliminating the other
B. One team capturing all 4 flags from inside the 4 pavillions.
4. Stepping out of bounds will result in a player being unable to move their feet for ten seconds and being returned to the point where they crossed the boundary.
5. Good sportsmanship with be expected and enforced. Arguing with the reeves or getting into altercations with other players will result in that person being ejected from the tournament and their team will be forced to play short a position.
6. Each team may have up to four pages. These pages may only be used to retrieve your teams spent balls and projectiles.
7. You may not use other teams magic balls, projectiles, or equipment.
8. No mass spells may be used.
9. Dead players must immediately take a knee and put their weapon on their head. You may not move from where you are when you die unless Summon Corpse is used or to avoid mundane danger/impeding play.
10. All rules disputes will be settled by the War-O-Crat, who will not be playing in the tournament.
11. All sneaky, underhanded, or questionable rules interpretations or tactics should be cleared with the War-o-Crat BEFORE attempting to use them.
