Welcome to our semi-regular 40k Community Paired League! This paired 6 week league is intended to help onboard newer players into head to head games, scheduling using online community platforms, and introduction to the Grognards 40k Community while also providing a fun experience for all players regardless of experience by utilizing less ‘tourney standard’ rules and encouraging cooperation, community, and learning in head to head matches paired against someone on your winpath. Expect to see weird missions, first draft lists, and new friends!

               The league structure is as follows:

·       When the League begins you will be randomly paired with another person in the league, and in each following week you will be paired into a new opponent with your same placings record. It is up to you to find a time when you’re both available to meet up and play, and can play at both Grognards locales any time within each week of the league. This necessitates using the official Grognard Community Discord which you can find by going to our website ( grognardgames.com ) and looking for the link in the top left corner of the screen, using this link ( https://discord.gg/PXstNMefvV ), or through our in-store QR codes for your phone. This is the community resource center and best source of information on getting in contact with other local players, and participating in the league will not function without this vital resource for communication.

o   There is a 40k League channel, posting in there will help you find your opponents and you can always message Derek for help!

o   Pairings for your opponents will be posted to Best Coast Parirings (more on that later) when the league starts, and you will need to submit your results after your game each week.

o   If both players are unable to find a time they can meet up they can request a 50-50 draw result by messaging Derek, the event organizer.

o   If one player fails to reply to all attempts to contact them they will be given a loss and dropped from the event.

o   If extenuating circumstances prevent a player from making their agreed upon game time and they are unable to reschedule, they will be scored as a loss but remain in the event.

·       Each game will be 2000pts (you do not need to use the same list each week, just the same faction) using the Pariah Mission pack, and each of your pairings will be a specific mission set as follows in the format of Primary Mission/Mission Rule/Deployment:

o   Pairing 1 – Linchpin / Hidden Supplies / Hammer and Anvil

o   Pairing 2 – Burden of Trust / Fog of War / Tipping Point

o   Pairing 3 – The Ritual / Adapt or Die / Sweeping Engagement

o   Pairing 4 – Purge the Foe / Rapid Escalation / Search and Destroy

o   Pairing 5 – Scorched Earth /  Swift Action / Crucible of Battle

o   Pairing 6 – Take and Hold / Smoke and Mirrors / Tipping Point

§  Take pictures of your games! This is important for one of the league activities!

·       At the end of 6 weeks, there will be a pod created for each group of 4 players in the same bracket (ie 1st-4th place will be put in a pod, 5th-8th will be put in a pod, etc). They will have 2 weeks to get their games in, and once completed the winner of each will be the victor of their bracket, and the winner of the top pod will be the League Champion! These games are optional outside the top pod but are a great way to get more games in!

These missions are as follows:

o   Semi-Finals – Purge the Foe / Prepared Positions / Crucible of Battle

o   Finals – Scorched Earth / Raise Banners / Hammer and Anvil

·       The league will be using Best Coast Pairings ( bestcoastpairings.com ) to organize and record your week to week scores as well as pair you into your opponents. After your game is finished, submit your score through Best Coast Pairings, and notify Derek if you’re having any problems with it (I can input your score manually if necessary).

o   Make sure you have an account on it preferably attached to your Grognards account email, or you can contact Derek on the discord to clarify your BCP email.

o   Once the league starts you will receive a message to this email prompting you to upload your list. You do not have to upload a full list, you can change it each game, instead simply record your Faction and your Discord Name here. Make sure you put your discord username at the top of your army list upload so that your opponent can easily find you!

·       Post a battle report of your game in the 40k Paired League channel on the discord and @Derek with your post! Could be as simple as some pictures, could be as detailed as a fluffy narrative spin, what battle plans were going through your head during the game, if you had a good time, all valid types of things to post as your battle report!

Painted armies aren't required to play in the event or for scoring, but if you paint any units during the course of the league, post them in the Hobby and Painting channel and @Derek with your post. Show off your stuff to the community and see what other folks are up to!

Welcome to our Star Wars Shatterpoint Winter League! In this league, players will be paired against each other utilizing the "swiss" pairing method, which means you will be paired against opponents with a similar Win/Loss record. Expect to play 6 games over 6 weeks. We will be rewarding players based upon game performance, but also hobbying and experimenting with new models and scenarios.

               The league structure is as follows:

·       Each week, you will be paired with another player in the league. It is up to you to find a time when you’re both available to meet up and play. This necessitates using the official Grognard Community Discord which you can find by going to our website (grognardgames.com) and looking for the link in the bottom right corner of the screen, using this link ( https://discord.gg/PXstNMefvV ), or through our in-store QR codes for your phone.
