Return of the Stacked Deck Final Table Bluff checks not necessary

some other things that might be going on:
Some rooms that might be, puzzling to get out of.
Pot luck food with prizes
Blackwood plot, you must contact EH ahead of time.
other table games like Blackjack
something something 40k (new details below)
ticket auction (prizes!)

The tournament will start very promptly at 1:30 PM. Picking of seats will be at 1:15 if you are not there when it is your turn, a seat will be randomly assigned.

As we get closer, we will be reaching out to point earners to verify attendance. Top sixteen point earners will be invited (well not that Tao guy).

Quick note on tie breakers for placing, if two players have the same number of points then the player that played in more tournaments will be considered to rank higher, if 2 players both have the same number of points and the same number of tournaments played, then the player that earned the higher number of points most recently will be considered to be higher ranked. if we do not have enough players with points to fill out the top sixteen, the player with the most tournaments played will be invited to take that spot. If two players have played equal amounts of tournaments, then the player that played most recently will be considered higher ranked.

Prizes will be: A special Blue prize, 1000 gold, 500 gold, 175 gold. whoever comes in first will have their pick of the prizes, followed by second, third, and fourth will get what is left.

Tournament will end at 8:30 in a chip count if winners have not been figured out before.

Starting stack will be 20,000 chips. A one time before you play your first hand add-on will be available. 25 gold for 5,000 chips. All of the gold raised in this manner will go to the dealers and just the dealers.

If we have not heard from a player 30 minutes into play, then the highest ranked alternate will be seated.

If time allows a Stacked Deck tournament will be run later in the day to start the new season.

Clontarf Casino will be offering table games including the classics; Blackjack, Let it ride, Roulette, Craps, and maybe something new.

A "Live Action" poker table will also be available if you prefer a live "gold" game. This will be dealer's choice; any game with blinds will be 1 and 2 gold. A dealer will not be available for this it will be self run.

This year drinking will be allowed. As this is at a staffed function hall. Please bring the GREEN stuff if you want to pay for drinks. as I understand it, they do not honor Master Card or Lady Visa.

Food will be pot luck, as I have done in the past there will be gold awards for different categories of food; best pasta dish, best side dish, best cookies, and many, many, more categories. (wink, wink, if you know you know). Because of the site limitation liquid pot luck will not be allowed.

I will also be offering a ticket auction this year for some pretty fabulous prizes. Maybe some things that did not make it to Feast of Blackwood, maybe some special things just for this event. Quick note; there will be no “blue” auction items.

At the Final table this year, we will be hosting a nonofficial Warhammer: Age of Sigmar (v3)
Small Forces Tournament. As with most things in The Realms, this is a sport of honor. We
expect that many who are interested may also be first time players, so we ask that more
experienced players be ready to help explain/teach newer players from across the table as we
get this off the ground in its first year.
Since this is the first tournament and we expect that some people may be buying their first
models specifically to play in this, for this event only, Only a Base Coating is required. This is
subject to change as we move forward.
Please save a copy of your Army List by using this tool
(https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/) or the Official Age of Sigmar phone
app and be prepared to show the tournament host upon entry.
In the lead up, feel free to reach out to Benjamin Lacasse on Facebook, Discord or Email with
any questions/clarifications. There will be a different tournament host day of, but he will assist
with anything from list building to rules questions.

BATTLEPLAN
FRONTALASSAULT
Two armies square off, both eager to capture the series of vital objectives that lie
between them. There can be no holding back on the front line, where the only path to
victory will be sheer, bloody-minded determination.
DEPLOYMENT
The attacker picks which territory is their territory. The other territory is the defender’s
territory.
The players then alternate setting up units one at a time, starting with the Defender. Each
player must set up their units wholly within their territory and more than 15" from their
opponent’s territory.
The players continue to set up units until both armies have been set up. If one player finishes
setting up their army first, their opponent must set up the rest of the units in their army, one
after another.
VICTORY POINTS
Each player scores victory points at the end of each of their turns as follows:

• Score 1 victory point if you control at least one objective.
• Score 1 victory point if you control two or more objectives.
• Score 1 victory point if you control more objectives than your opponent.
• Score 2 victory points if you completed the battle tactic you picked that turn. GRAND STRATEGY Each player scores 3 victory points at the end of the battle if they completed their grand strategy. BATTLE LENGTH The battle lasts for 5 battle rounds.The player with the most victory points at the end of the battle wins. [—3ft—] . Objectives- Center of the Map, 9” off of each map border, and one at the very Center (18” off of both borders)

Some poker rules are below.
Verbals are binding. even if you don't mean it. if you say all in as a joke, you are all in. its not funny, please don't. verbals are also a great way to bet exactly how much you want to bet. (single chip rule) verbals will keep you from making mistakes. verbals also lets the person to your left know what you are doing so they can act.

Be in your seat or don't play rule: any player that is not in there seat by the time the second card gets to the player that is on the button then that hand is automatically killed and should be collected by the dealer. a bit of advice, don't look at it, it will only break your heart. this is a rule of reason, be reasonable, don't be a dick.

Once a player leaves their seat the are considered to abandon the hand. However as in most things reasonable players doing reasonable things. Please do not do this out of turn as it does signal your intentions and might influence play.

"String bet rule" Chips placed into the pot without any verbals should placed in one motion. you should not go back and forth to your stack, or take back any chips that have been put forward. this is to prevent getting a "read" on an opponent without risking chips. a "string bet" can be where you add chips to the your bet or take them away. it is up to an "Active" player to call this. not the dealer. the dealer will be the judge if a "string bet" has happened or not. as always if you say what you want to do first will prevent this from happening.

It is a players responsibility to know where the action is to act in turn. It is bad etiquette to constantly be told when it is your action, or to have to be reminded to post blinds. Any action that happens out of sequence is binding unless the action changes. for example the blinds are 100 and 200, the player under the gun has not acted yet, however next player says raise, and throws out 800 in chips. if the player under the gun calls or folds then the raise to 800 is binding, if however they player under the gun raises to any amount, then the player who acted out of turn can pull back his 800, and make any action they wish, fold, call or re-raise.

the single chip bet rule: if a player is the first to act and throws a single chip without saying anything the bet is considered to be the full value of the single chip. the single chip call rule: if a player responds to a bet by throwing a single chip in without saying anything then it is considered a call not a raise.
