is that a tpyo in the tournament rulles 2 points for draw ?

win=4pts
lost by 1 td = 2 pts
draw = 2 pts
lost by 2 or more = 1 point
conceded = 0 points

Shouldnt it be 3 for a draw or something ? I mean loss = draw can't be it or can it ?

Nope, it's not a typo, it's there to encourage you to play for the win.

for example:

you tie to the World Champion.
i am loosing to him by one TD.

we both scored 2 points - well im not participating but this sounds like crap... winning is still 4 points. why encouraging ? i mean u get 4 thats better than 3 or 2...

Ties are broken by TDs scored I believe, so it wouldn't matter.

Situation: The score's 1-1. I could go for the risky winner, but it could cost me the game if it doesn't work. Under the Tournament ruleset, everybody will play for the win, because you've got points to gain and nothing to lose. Under other circumstances, coaches may well settle for the draw. So it encourages results, taking chances and keeping things exciting.
Plus of course there's the enjoyment factor, and keeping games interesting. If you're down by 2 with no time to score twice (the game's gone) you still have that point to play for if you can score and bring it back to 2-1. So it keeps games 'alive' longer as well, which has to add to the enjoyment for the coaches involved.
The same points for a draw/loss by one was one of the best aspects of the Resurrection system, and I for one am glad to see it back this time around.

Anyway, with 190 players, you have to win all the matchs, so it dont make a difference.
I believe this is not a bad rules for so many coaches involved.

200 LS...
150 went on sale..then another 40. The extra 10 were allocated to the reserve list and defending champ.

So you coming over to compete Toby?

Longshot · Post by **Longshot** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 10:07 am

i was feeling strange about 190...
200 sounds better. i didnt knew about the dark side list...

It's not a typo, it's there for all the reasons Deathwing has eloquently described.

And yes, 200 tickets have been sold/allocated (it'll be a biggy).

Just out of interest, is 200 the max due to building regs or any such thing, or could it be any bigger next year?

from what I've seen of warhammer world, 200 is pretty much the max, unless they move into bugmans as well

then again, I've only been once

I guess if it REALLY takes off, and Andy/Jervis had lots of support from the likes of us, we could try to take over the NEC in birmingham or some such arena

for UK-based tournaments I mean
