About This Event
The Winter Wipeout is an annual event with a fundraiser mentality. All proceeds from the event will be used for the maintenance and development of Porvoo Game Club activities. By signing up you support our small gaming club ran by volunteers!
Venue
The venue is the PGC club house, located close to the Porvoo town center at Aleksanterinkatu 22, Porvoo. Check the PGC website for an image guide. The space is only a few blocks away from the market square, where buses from Helsinki and elsewhere arrive. There are plenty of shops & restaurants close by and usually there's also a Christmas market at the market square on the same weekend. Despite the location there's plenty of free street parking available close to the club.
Facilities:
- Toilet
- Small kitchen with basic equipment, including fridge, coffee maker and microwave oven
- Coffee and tea with milk & oat drink available for free for participants
- BYOB
What to Bring
- Models for your team (don't have to be official GW miniatures but different positions should be clearly defined, and special skills should be marked on the models)
- Dice, templates, ball, tokens for turn, re-rolls & score, and a board (the host likely can't supply enough boards for everyone)
- Chess clock (or a chess clock app on your phone)
- Dice cup, tray or tower (these are not only permitted but encouraged!)
- Recommended: Team roster sheet (printed, with all necessary info included)

- Draw = 1 point
- Lose = 0 points
- Bye round or forced rest = 3 points
Tiebreakers:
- Strength of schedule

Timekeeping:
- With a tight tournament schedule a chess clock or similar for timekeeping must be used (players must bring their own chess clock or use a chess clock application on their mobile device)
- After you've completed the pregame introductions of your teams etc., divide the remaining hours and minutes (rounding down) by 2 and assign half of the game time to each player
- Chess clocks can only be paused by a referee
- Should a Coach's time run out on the chess clock during their turn, that Coach can only stand-up Players and turn stunned Players to the prone position
- If a Coach suspects that their opponent is wasting time, they are to call a referee immediately
- If a Coach is late from the game, the delay time is deducted from their half of the game time (opponent divides the game time and starts the chess clock)
Games that run out of time:
At the end of the time allotted to each round, no more dice will be rolled. Coaches are allowed but not required to agree to what would have probably been the most likely result. If they do not, the result on the pitch at the end of the time will be final.
Pre-match Talks:
Coaches are required to talk to their opponent before the start of the match explaining any play conventions they are using during the game, especially on topics like:
- How you roll dice, when a dice is cocked and how you will reroll it
- What constitutes an acceptable takeback of an action
- What kind of tokens they will be using and what for (prone big guys, etc.)
- Your team's game pieces with their positions, skills and markings
- If one of the two Coaches facing off requests that one dice pool is used this must be done
