After one hour of play, the referee will walk around the room and may impose a chess clock with a global time limit if you have not started the second half.

As always, prizes are not cumulative. If a player wins more than one prize, they can only choose one, with the remaining prizes going to the next ranked player in that category. This does not apply to painting prizes, which can be accumulated with other prizes, but not with each other.
Player who causes the most casualties with Akhorne throughout the tournament, by any means (tackling, stomping, or sending players off the field).
Player who injures the opposing Akhorne most times throughout the tournament.
Best painted miniature representing the star player Akhorne. For this purpose, both the base and the miniature itself will be considered. We remind you that Akhorne is a strength 1 squirrel, so the size of the miniature and the representation and painting of the squirrel will be taken into account. Miniatures of exaggerated size for the character they represent will not be valued. This prize is not cumulative with the "Brush Demon" prize. If a player wins both prizes, they must choose one, with the other going to the next best-ranked player in the category.
