Your Army List MUST accompany your registration form.
You will be contacted by the appropriate umpire of your acceptance or otherwise. It would be unwise to turn up to the convention without getting the all clear from your umpire.
Grounds for refusal are unacceptable lists, late lists, or no registration fee! Unpainted armies or semi-painted armies are also unacceptable and may be grounds for refusal.
Six is the minimum number for a competition to go ahead. Competitions with 20 or more people will have medals awarded for first, second and third places. Competitions with under 20 but more than 9 people will have medals awarded for first and second place. Competitions with under 10 participants will have a medal for first place only.
Trade Stands are available for free, but please contact the registrar for details so we can calculate the space required.
You must supply your own terrain and tablecloths. Make sure it is all named or labelled as being yours.
All non-playing umpires will receive free registration and a free entry to the prize giving dinner.
There will be a competition gaming section, and a non-competition gaming section (see below). Please contact the registrar with your requirements if you wish to enter the non-competition section.
