Scoring

* After each round, the **Captain/Coach enters only the raw score** (battle points) of each game into BCP. Nothing else.

* To determine the round result:

1. BCP will add up all battle points from the players on each team to get the **total team score**.

2. The team with the higher **total team score** wins the round.

* Winning team = **2 Match Points**

* Losing team = **0 Match Points**

3. If both teams have the same total team score, the round is a draw.

* Both teams = **1 Match Point**

* **Ranking is based on Match Points

**Tie-Breakers**

If teams are tied on Match Points:

1. **Team Total Differential**

* Calculated as:

Total team score across all rounds *minus* Their opponents score in those rounds

* Functions like goal difference in football/soccer.

2. **Number of Player-Games Won**

* If still tied, the team with more individual player-game victories ranks higher.

Team Composition

Each Team will be led by a Captain and Coach.

Teams are therefore composed as follows:

1 Captain (Either an active player or act as non-playing Coach)

5 Active players (mandatory)

1 Coach (may be an active player)

Captain

Each team must be led by a captain, If there are any questions regarding the role of Captain or any help is needed, feel free to approach the Tournament Organizer.

The Captain is ultimately responsible for the conduct of their team, will oversee their team’s pairings each round, and will be responsible for submitting match results. It is also the Captains responsibility to check all tables for any discrepancies in terrain density or placement before the start of the round, and for organizing their teams to triple-check the final submitted army lists prior to the event.

The Captain will also be held responsible for the manner in which their team leaves behind the tables and surrounding area. If a team does not dispose of their trash after each round, the Captain may receive a warning.

Players

Team Players are the team members playing the matches in each round of the event. Once players are at their tables at the start of any given round, players are not permitted to communicate with their fellow team members, nor share information on matches or strategy between them by conversation, mobile devices or other communication devices.

Once per event round, each player is able to call a time-out, during which they are permitted to speak with their Team's Coach, but not any other Team members. Please note; ONLY an active player may call for a time-out.

Coach

A Coach may assist the Team and Captain in various ways throughout the Event, as well as during the rounds. A player can also be designated as a playing Coach. This means when this player is done with their game, they can act as a Coach when a member of their team asks for a time-out. Having a Player as a Coach is only allowed if a Team does not have an official Coach.

A Coach is permitted to:

Be the Team Captain
Organize and submit Team Results
Ask questions to their players about how the game is going (in English)
Tell their player how their team is doing and if they require a win/draw/loss from this game
Manage rules issues and call for referee assistance
Engage in discussions with their players during a time-out. If they perceive a situation where there is a non-optional rule or trigger missed, they may call for the game to be paused (meaning a coach can pause the Chess Clock after consultation with the opposing captain), and retrieve a judge to rectify the situation.

A Coach is not permitted to:

Give Tactical advice outside of a time-out (they may not tell their player ‘how’ to get that win/draw/loss) or interject in any way regarding in-game situations. This includes reminding a player about forgetting rules or strategies. If they perceive a situation where there is a non-optional rule or trigger missed, they may call for the game to be paused, and retrieve a judge to rectify the situation
Speak to their Team player in a language other than English outside a time-out
Call time-outs themselves

Armylists

The following limits are set for the event when writing their army lists:

Only Warscrolls and Factions with Pitched Battle Profiles that are legal in the GHB 2026-2027 season are in play;
Faction: Each faction is limited to once per team.
Armies of Renown are considered to be representing their faction. For example; The Grundstok Expeditionary Force can not be taken in a team that also includes a Kharadron Overlords army and a Big Waaagh will be considered an Ironjawz or Kruleboyz army.
Regiments of Renown will have the warscrolls included in that regiment count for the limitation among other team members. For example; an army using the Braggit’s Bottle-Snatchaz will limit the use of Gobbapalooza, Squig Herd and Squig Hoppers for other team members.
Warscroll: No warscroll may be duplicated between any two team members in a team. For example; a unit of Bloodletters can only be included in one army list. This limitation does not apply to units that are summoned during the battle;
Manifestation lores are limited to one per team. So only one list may (for example) contain Forbidden Power.
Battle Tactics Cards are only allowed to appear twice per team

Pairings Process

Missions & Scoring

The most recent versions of the official Matched Play Battleplans will be used, taken from the GHB 2026-2027. Terrain maps in the GHB will be used.

PAIRING SYSTEM

10 minutes at the start of each round is allocated for the pairing process to take place.

Who can participate in the pairing process?

The Captain
1 Additional member of the official team indicated by the captain (active player, coach)

In order to avoid confusion, the Captain has the final say in every pairing decision and must validate the decision. If the pairing process is not completed within the allocated 10 minutes, it should be immediately brought to the attention of the Organizers to oversee and facilitate the conclusion of the pairings.

Step 1 - Mission A Pairings (Matches 1 & 2)

For the first mission, both teams select one army and place it face down on the table. When both teams have selected their armies, they are then revealed simultaneously.

Each team then selects two armies (“Invaders”) as prospective opponents for the initial revealed army of the opposing team, and places them face down on the table. When all four armies have been placed, they are then revealed simultaneously. Each team selects one of the two armies presented by their opponent to play against the army that they placed initially.

The remaining, unselected, army from each team is returned to its team’s hand.

Step 2 - Mission B Pairings (Matches 3 & 4)

For the second mission, the same process as laid out for the first mission is repeated.

Step 3 - Mission C Pairings (Match 5)

For the third mission, each team will have one remaining army in their hand, these armies will face each other

Time-outs

Each player is allowed to use one time-out every team round (so 5 per team in total, per team round). To initiate a time out, notify your opponent you will use a time-out and call for your Coach/Assistant/Captain. This time-out is on your own time and can be a maximum of 3 minutes. While you use a time out, your opponent is also allowed to use this time to talk to their Coach/Assistant/Captain about the game state. However, when the active player is done with their time out, the inactive player will also have to stop theirs.

You can only initiate a time out when you have priority (so in your own turn, or when it is your turn to make a decision or use an ability). You can not use the time out to interrupt an active player’s decision making or while they are using an ability.

The following rules will be in use regarding chess clocks:

The responsibility is on both players to ensure time is used correctly.
The position of the chess clock cannot be moved without the consent of both players.
Players in the game and referees are the only people allowed to switch the use of time
The Active player is the player who is currently taking their turn and has the clock running on their time.
The Inactive Player is the player who is not currently taking their turn.

Pausing or Changing Time
Time may only be paused/added/subtracted on a clock in two instances:

By a TO / referee
To reset the time at the start of the round. Each player receives 1 hour and 30 minutes of time.

Time Usage – Setup

The chess clock is activated once the roll for first deployment or deployment zones is made. The player who wins the roll begins the clock on their time. Only the active player can deploy their units. You are allowed to “make ready” your units for deployment on the side of the board or start measuring distances.
After armies are deployed, the Player who deployed first becomes the active Player and can decide who goes first or second.
Any interruption caused by an ability can be carried out, and the Player, whose ability is triggered, becomes the active Player. Time then resumes with the player who is taking their turn (see below)

Time Usage - During Game
Time will always be used by the active player with the following exceptions.

Switching time is the responsibility of both players
An inactive player becomes active in the following cases:
The Inactive player asks active player to look up a rule
The Inactive player must roll save(s)/damage/ward(s)/attacks or make a dice roll during the Active player’s time.
The Inactive player must remove/replace/move models
The Inactive player is unbinding prayers/spells
The Active player cannot continue to play until the Inactive player takes an action
A special rule that requires any action during the active player's turn (Blood Tithe movement, Mighty Destroyers etc.)

Time Expiration
Should one player run out of time, they are not allowed to take any action in the game, and they immediately become the inactive player.

They cannot interact with the game except by performing the following actions:

To assign wounds and remove models.
To roll saves and wards
To finish the attacks of a unit that was in the midst of attacking while the clock ran out.
Other mandatory rules and abilities that are not attacks

During these exceptions the active player may pause their time only during these actions.

Should both players run out of time; they will become inactive players with the mentioned exceptions above. If the players cannot agree on the outcome, a referee that will assess the situation is to be called.

In case a chess clock is broken, stop the game, take note of the time spent and call a referee. It is the referee's job to guide you to a solution.
