The Grognard Tournament: The Bitter Ender main event (The Grognard) will consist of 5 rounds of single elimination. Players participating in The Grognard will be required to play a minimum of two matches on Friday and two matches on Saturday. Sunday will consist of the championship match.
The Grognard play list will contain 15 scenarios. Players will choose one scenario from a list of 5 scenarios each round. Players may mutually agree on the scenario or write down on a piece of paper their choice of scenario, with 1 being their top choice and 5 being their last choice. DO NOT SPEND AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME ON SCENARIO SELECTION. Players may choose a scenario from a previous round as long as neither player has played it yet in the tournament.
If players still cannot agree on a scenario, they may play another scenario not on the official list as long as it is approved by the tournament director (TD) before scenario play commences. The rounds will be timed events. The rounds will start and end as follows:
Friday Round1 Saturday Round 3 Sunday Round 5
Start time: 08:00 Start time: 08:00 Start time: TBA by TD
End Time: 15:00 End Time: 15:00 End Time: 18:00
Friday Round 2 Saturday Round 4
Start Time: 16:00 Start Time: 16:00
End Time: midnight End Time: midnight
Please note that it is the TD's belief that ASL is not an endurance contest. Rounds 1 & 3 will END at the specified time. The TD will adjudicate any game that is not finished by the mandated end time. The TD reserves the right to consult fellow players to assist in the adjudication process as long as they are not one of the players and they will not face either opponent in the next round. All players will be expected to have their set ups completed within 30 minutes. Should adjudication occur, speed of play will be a determining factor in the TD's decision. Also, the Player that takes a long lunch is probably toast. Play fast, play hard, and have a good-looking cardboard corpse.
Rounds 2 & 4 can be played through midnight. If mutually agreed to by BOTH players, play until conclusion of scenario is acceptable. However, if ONE of the players requests adjudication at the end of the allotted time it will take place. Therefore, players will have the full time to complete the round. Note: An hour for lunch/dinner is acceptable/expected. If you need to leave early, for whatever reason, without completing a scenario then YOU ARE CONSIDERED TO HAVE FORFEITED THAT GAME. Also note that Round 3 will begin promptly at 08:00. Please be respectful to your opponents need for sleep.
Round 5 is the championship round. The start time will be coordinated with the two players and the TD.
Mini-Tournaments: The Bitter Ender will be hosting 6 mini-tournaments starting on Saturday 13-Apr-2019.
The three Saturday mini-tournaments are for players that have been eliminated from the Grognard but still want to compete at the tournament level. Play begins promptly at 08:00 on 13-Apr-2019
Scenario selection is as described for the Grognard above, except no scenarios are eliminated.
