How to form a team:
-
Your team can represent your club, school, nation or group of friends.
-
Each team must have a distinct name and you are welcome to bring multiple teams from the same club. For example: if 10 players from a club named 'Up Dice' were to attend, they would bring two teams called 'Up Dice 1' and 'Up Dice 2' or A and B, etc.
-
Each team is made up of 5 players and only one instance of each codex can be included per team. We also follow the GW rules for 11th edition teams, meaning you can only have one of each force dispositionl. This means each player must use a unique army and disposition within each team. For example, there could be only one T’au player on each team, and one purge the foe player.
How it works:
-
Teams are paired against each other by random assortment in round 1.
-
A win/loss format is implemented thereafter, in which winning teams play against winning teams.
-
Within the team vs team pairings, players are paired against opposing team members by their captains.
-
The results of these games are used to determine which team wins the round.
When: Jan 23 - 24 2027
