Welcome to the Team Yankee UK GT 2017, an open event. This will

be a five game competition over the weekend of August 19th and

20th. The format will be swiss and open book. Everyone will play the

same missions and the players with the highest score at the end of

each round will play the next highest player, regardless of faction or

nation. The winner of the weekend will be crowned the winner of

the Team Yankee UK Grand Tournament, surely the finest general to

Tournament System

The event will use the rules from the Team Yankee rulebook the most

current version of the FAQ.

The Tables

Most of the scenery and all the tables will be provided by the event

organisers, the scenery will be pre-set for the table and we will

endeavour to make sure you only play on each table once. We will

provide rulings for the terrain on each table if you are unable to agree

with your opponent, we suggest checking the rulebook as most terrain

types are detailed. We actively encourage players who wish to bring

their own terrain, though we do ask that you contact us before hand

and that you bring a themed table and not just random

terrain.

Missing Opponent

If your opponent does not turn up on time they will be given a 30-

minute grace period, after that (without serious mitigation) you will

be awarded a maximum win.

Referees

There will be two umpires at this event, we would ask that if you have

a disagreement you come to an agreement between you, if an umpire

is called to adjudicate, their decision, right or wrong is final. The

umpires are Alex Billing and Mick Rood. Do not ask for another

player’s interpretation and unsolicited umpiring will be strongly

frowned upon.

Game Duration

Each game lasts two and a half hours; we will give out frequent timings

and when final time is called you will have a chance to even up turns.

Playing to finish

We expect everyone to play as fast as possible, deliberately playing

slowly will result in a warning. A second infraction will result in penalty

points being applied.

Gaming Etiquette

All players must provide a copy of their army list to each of their

opponents before play and to clearly indicate which platoons if any

are in reserve and which platoons have been designated for the

ambush. Teams from different units and formations must be clearly

marked to avoid your opponent’s confusion when intermingled. We

also ask that counters are used to indicate such states as pinned,

bailed out, dug in and gone to ground.

Food

We will be providing the food for the event and your lunch for each

day is included in your ticket price. The Sanctuary will also offer liquid

refreshment and snacks throughout the day.

Allowed lists

You will need an 80 point army from any current official Team Yankee

book. All lists to be submitted no later than Sunday 13th August 2017.
