GENERAL COMMENTS
There will be no extensions so it's a bad time to develop gamestipation. Work with your opponent as best that you can around vacations, heavy work schedules, etc as it's a short round but there is plenty of time.
In case of disputes and incompletions, the ruling of the Tournament Czars (Brig Gen Simms and an AoA representative if named) will be final. Warning - being ahead in the point score will not necessarily earn you a victory if you've been negligent in your game turns.
If one army has more participants than the other, then some brackets may require that the opponents be from the same army. If that occurs, then that army is guaranteed at least 1 point from the results.
SCORING
A major victory earns the winning army 2 points.
A minor victory earns the winning army 1 point.
The army with the most points at the completion of two rounds will be declared the winner. If it finishes in a draw/tie then both armies will shake hands, have a drink, and go home.
