Warhammer: The Old World – Berlin Kickoff Turnier

Regelwerk

• Es gelten die jeweils aktuellen Regelbücher, Arcane Journals, Legacy Listen und FAQs von GW.
• Es wird ComFAQ angewendet.
• Standardmäßig wird 2000 Punkte Grand Melee und Combined Arms nach Match Play gespielt.
• Bei beidseitigem Einverständnis sind auch 2000 Punkte nach Berlin-Comp, WTC CoN Rulepack oder GermanComp erlaubt, welche zT Anpassungen für Legacy vorsehen.

Wichtig: Wenn Posaz oder GermanComp gespielt wird, werden trotzdem die WTC-Missionen und -Matrix angewendet, damit die SP für den Tie-Breaker (siehe unten) vergleichbar sind. 

• Es wird empfohlen, der Einfachheit halber WTC-Maps inkl. Geländeregeln (siehe WTC CoN Rulepack) zu spielen; jedes Gelände nach TOW Regeln ist aber in Ordnung wenn sich beide Spieler einigen. 

Wertung:

• Es zählen ausschließlich Turnierpunkte (=BP).
• Tie-Breaker:

1. Direkter Vergleich
2. Summe der Siegpunkte (=VP; Victory Points)
3. Stärke der Gegner (Strength of Schedule)

Siegpunktmatrix:

SP Differenz - TP Sieger - TP Verlierer

0–200 10 10

Idea

This tournament is the kickoff for a planned Berlin League and aims to strengthen the local community. The focus is on offline play.

Structure:

• Group stage in pools (3–5 players depending on registrations) for fast execution.

• Currently planned as 3 game days – 1 game per month starting in February.

• Lists and armies are not fixed – they can be changed for each game day (according to the restrictions agreed with the opponent).

• Followed by a knockout system including a final (similar to NFL playoffs or the World Cup).

• With a larger number of participants: “Pods with Double Bracket” for better scalability.

Outlook:

This tournament is the starting point for the Berlin League. Partnerships and sponsorships are planned for the future, as well as additional tournaments that will be integrated into the league.

Game Organization

Games are primarily organized privately or in clubs (e.g., Rudi, Heckerdamm, Funtainment, or Battlefield). Games in clubs must be requested privately.

Tournament Rules – Ruleset

• The current rulebooks, Arcane Journals, Legacy Lists, and FAQs from GW apply.

• ComFAQ is used.

• Standard format is 2000 points Grand Melee and Combined Arms, played as Match Play .

• By mutual agreement, 2000 points using Berlin Comp, the WTC CoN Rulepack, or GermanComp are also allowed, which partially include adjustments for Legacy armies.

Important:

If Posaz or GermanComp is used, the WTC missions and matrix will still be applied so that the Victory Points (VP) for the tiebreaker (see below) remain comparable.

Terrain:

It is recommended, for simplicity, to use WTC maps including terrain rules (see WTC CoN Rulepack). Any terrain following TOW rules is also fine if both players agree.

Scoring:

Only Tournament Points (= BP) count.

Tiebreakers:

1. Head-to-head result
2. Total Victory Points (VP)
3. Strength of Schedule (opponent strength)

Victory Point Matrix:

VP Difference – Tournament Points (Winner / Loser)

0–200 → 10 / 10

201–300 → 11 / 9

301–450 → 12 / 8

451–600 → 13 / 7

601–750 → 14 / 6

751–950 → 15 / 5

951–1150 → 16 / 4

1151–1400 → 17 / 3

1401–1700 → 18 / 2

1701–2500 → 19 / 1

2500 → 20 / 0

Scenarios

Game Day 1

Deployment = Drawn Battlelines

Secondary Objectives: Baggage Trains und Strategic Location (3)

Game Day 2

Deployment = A Chance Encounter

Secondary Objectives: Baggage Trains, Domination (bonuses do not stack – max 200 per table quarter), and Special Features (no Impassable Terrain; otherwise as per Match Play)

Game Day 3

Secondary Objectives: Strategic Location (4)

Additional Scenarios

Scenarios for potential further game days and the knockout phase will be determined later, depending on the number of registered players.

Judges

The Tournament Organizers (TOs) act as remote judges whenever possible. Players are therefore asked to register their games so judge coverage can be planned (where possible). Judges can be contacted remotely via Discord.
