Bay Games Blitz May 2026

Bay Games Blitz May 2026 is a one day, three match resurrection style tournament.

The first matchups between coaches will be drawn randomly with the remainder based on the Swiss tournament format. Final standings will be ranked using a system of tiebreakers in the following order: • Total Points • Strength of Schedule • TD’s & CAS difference (Only SPP generating Cas count) Points: • 30 per win • 10 per draw • 0 per loss • -50 points per concede Roster Building and Upgrades "See pdf" Future releases: Please note that if any Games Workshop releases happen before the event in May 2026, the TO will review the release before it is included in the event.

The remaining time of the current round is divided between both coaches and is allotted equally. 2. Time/turn will be passed to you whenever it is your turn to do something. This includes kick off and setting up. This also includes moving a piece for sidestep and choosing to use an apo for example. As a rule of thumb if you are making a decision or moving a piece your time should be running. 3. Any breaks you take come out of your time. Such as toilet or refreshment breaks. The clock is not paused. 4. If your time runs out then the only actions you are allowed to complete on your turn, are to stand your players up. That is all. Anything else is not allowed. LATE ARRIVALS:- Should you arrive for your match later than 10 minutes, a chess clock will be provided and your time will be running. This is so your opponent is not penalised due to your lateness. PRIZES Prizes will be awarded for: • Winner • Runner Up • Best Painted Team • Most Casualties (SPP generating casualties only) • Most Touchdowns • Stunty Cup COST & PAYMENT The entrance fee is £15 per coach and is not refundable.
