Playing your games

Once registration has closed, a google sheet will be made available to all players. It contains all the players, their lists, and discord handles. Use it to schedule your weekly matchups which can be found on TTT

If a rules dispute occurs that cannot be resolved, roll for it. This is a lighthearted tournament designed to be fun. By FFG standards this would be Casual Tier. Be flexible.

If your opponent does not show up or is unresponsive to emails/communication attempts, please first ping an admin in the Gold Squadron Discord or email mynocklistcritiques@gmail.com. If players do not complete their match on time, and we have not been made aware of any issues, a winner will be randomly selected. A player may voluntarily concede a game if they run into scheduling conflicts, however we implore you to make time to play your matches.

Games are played to a total of 12 rounds.

Prizes

There will be no physical prizes for this event, however, the winner will have 2 Dollars per Jank Tank II participant (Spit Between Gold Squadron and Fly Better) donated to charity of their choice. This charity must be approved by both Gold Squadron and Fly Better.
