FSGC Weekly Events

Purpose

Every weekend Fire and Sword Game Center (FSGC) hosts either a Fantasy Battle or a Warhammer 40'000 tournament to satisfy the need for our more competitive players. Our vision is to offer a highly competitive environment where sportsmanship is valued above simple wins. Our ultimate goal is to assemble a team of qualified, good mannered players who would represent FSGC in major tournaments and conventions under a sponsor program from us.

Tournaments Types

There are two types of events provided by FSGC on a regular basis.

Ladder Ranking System

As mentioned in the Ladder Ranking System (LR), all Warhammer FSB and 40k tournaments will be running under the FSGC Ladder system. This will help us to establish an effective system both in game match ups and tie breaks. The Ladder will be the main measurement used by us when selecting possible candidates to represent the shop in other non FSGC events.

Tournament Specifications

The followings are various tournament specifications (TS) Used during the events:

Standard

The Standard format is defined in greater detail within the links provided above.

The first two rounds are determined by a round robin style format to prevent undesirable matchups. ex. undead vs undead. The final round is matched using a power matched pairing scheme to determine the final placements
