CURRENT STANDINGS:
(as of last organizer review--updated several times a week)



Games are played using the online Heroscape interface. An explanatory video is below:
Spoiler Alert!
A Skype account, or other online voice chat app, improves the playing experience considerably.

The format for this event is:
  • Choose two 530 point armies, which cannot share any figures. These will be the two armies you bring to every game.
  • Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The winner of the dice-off chooses first army choice or second army choice.
  • Whoever has first army choice may choose any of the four armies (either of their two or either of their opponent's two). The other player may then choose from any of the other three armies.
The event will last five weeks, with one round being played each week (i.e. each player will have one game each week). If there are two 5-0 players at the end of the five weeks, those two players (and only those two players) will play a final round.

One map will be used for each week/round of the event. The maps for this event will be:
Spoiler Alert!

If there is a finals round, it will be played on one of the five maps above, chosen at random.

Specifics on game setup and gameplay:
Power glyphs will be placed, power side up, on maps before the game begins.

There will be a roll-off before each game by the tournament organizers to determine who has choice of first or second pick. The sequence is as follows:
  1. Player who wins the predetermined roll-off decides whether they want to pick armies first or second, and PMs their opponent with their choice.
  2. Player who picks first PMs their opponent with their army pick.
  3. Player who picks second PMs their opponent with their army pick, goes into the online interface, and places their entire army in the startzone of their choice.
  4. Player who picks first goes into the online interface, and places their entire army in the other startzone.
Scheduling
Once a round is announced, you will have one week to complete your game. Please attempt to schedule a time to play your game with your opponent.

If after 72 hours (3 days) you have not been able to reach your opponent via PM, please fill out the missing opponent report to notify the organizers of the situation.

If you cannot come to an agreement with your opponent on a time to schedule the game during that week, then please fill out the scheduling conflict report.

If a game is not completed on time and the tournament organizers are not notified of an issue, both players will be given a loss.​
Reporting Game Results (and dropping out)
The winner of the game must use the game result form to report results.

If you do not want to continue in the tournament into the next round, please PM an organizer to let them know.​
Disputes
The tournament referees are Awesomeunleashed, Bengi, dok, Filthy the Clown, Kinseth, and Xorlof. These players may make rulings on in-game disputes (line of sight, figures fitting on a space, dice rolled too soon/too late, etc) in games where they are not playing. If there is a dispute and one of these players is online, they may issue an on-the-spot ruling. If you have a dispute you cannot resolve, and none of the referees are present, you may stop the game and PM the tournament referees for a ruling.

NOTE: if a ruling is made late in the week and there is not enough time to schedule completion of the game, the tournament referees may issue a forfeit loss to the player who was ruled against.​

Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

Sign me up! Now I need to think of my second build. (As the first is already done for me. :D)
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

I'm interested in signing up, but do you have to submit your armies right now? Also my brother wants to sign up, he doesn't have an account yet, but we are in process of making it. Can he have a spot reserved until we get his account sorted out?
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

Well, you did still need to figure out those last two spaces and 130 points. ;)

I know what I want to play, but not being able to play Raelin in both armies is making it tricky.

I'm interested in signing up, but do you have to submit your armies right now?
You have to submit your armies with your entry, yes. However, we intend to take all entrants - if we have more than 16, finals will possibly end up being a 5th round. So, as long as you're in before the deadline, you're good.

Also my brother wants to sign up, he doesn't have an account yet, but we are in process of making it. Can he have a spot reserved until we get his account sorted out?
He can sign up as "infectedsloth's brother (not on Heroscapers)" as far as I'm concerned, as long as you're willing to take PMs from people and schedule his games for him. After all, we wouldn't want to turn away a Gencon tournament champion. ;)

Or drop a squad of Vipers to get 170 to spend. 8) (Watch; every opponent will choose them just to spite me! :lol:)

I really would love to run Venoc Warlord in both, but that's not possible...

I can schedule his games for now, until he gets an account. Him and I are both in, we're looking forward to getting started. I like the changes made to the format.

After all, we wouldn't want to turn away a Gencon tournament champion. :wink:

Don't say that, because of that win his ego is already inflated enough.
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

I assume C3V and SoV are allowed, but no Marvel?
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

All signed up! Now I can second guess my armies for a couple of weeks!
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

I'm in this time around with a "dok bait" and a "fashionista" army.

While not strategically sound to have these two armies paired up in my stable, I'm hoping for success nonetheless.
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

The OP now includes the glyphs that will appear on each map.
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

I thought it out very carefully. My choices, when together in this format, make me completely unbeatable.*

If y'all are lucky, I might be nice and let someone else win this time. ;)

Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

Hey, I just realized I gave AU his only loss last season. :D Beating the champ has gotta be worth something, right?

I've got two really fun ideas for armies, but I'm just waiting for some clarification before I send 'em in and sign myself up. I like the change to a more tournament-like format; my biggest qualm with the previous format was that you only got to try each army once.

Pfft, that's nothin! I'm undefeated in MLH games! Ya'll might as well throw the towel in right now, rather than get embarrassed by me.:twisted:

I'll contribute to this discussion as soon as I figure out where to put these two sets of Gencon prize dice. It's tough to find room for them, what with the other two sets of Gencon prize dice and the three championship plaques taking up all that space.

Maybe you could organize them by prizes that you won with armies that use Raelin, and armies that don't use Raelin? Oh wait...

So... General Wars 2010 and Treasure Quest 2012 on one side, and Main Event 2010/2011 and Heat of Battle 2012 on the other?
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

Armies submitted. :twisted:
Same here. 8)

Here were the armies I was considering playing had my request to play Hatamato Toro: The Prototype gone through...
TSA x5, Raelin, Hatmato, Marcu
and
PKs x6, Kaemon, Isamu
I ended up going with two completely different builds though.
 
Re: Online Heroscape League: Season 3

I'm interested, but I'm not sure if I'll have time.
