It singularly typifies the ineptness that this post is pointing at.

It would mean someone like me could do what I am planning to do for Battlecry and Printing out and Binding all of the lists in a single book.(yes I am aware that I am not quite all there in the head thinking of doing that.)Shadowmancernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-29822526667242335202012-12-19T15:24:22.220+13:002012-12-19T15:24:22.220+13:00Agree regarding rulings, but imo where possible ev...Agree regarding rulings, but imo where possible every effort should be made to clarify things before the tournament/before lists are due in. Often TO rulings can effect how a unit is played and thus can effect an entire army dramatically, which is something you want sorted before lists are finalised. In part this is on the players as well, since its hard for a TO to cover every possibility without people asking questions.<br /><br />Great post though Charlie.

I would add th...These are all good points Charlie.<br /><br />I would add the following:<br /><br />ARMY LISTS: Require them to be in two weeks before the event to allow them to be checked properly. Have a penalty for lists not in on time or if you are a child of modern times, a bonus for getting it in on time.<br /><br />TEMPLATES: Use an army list template and insist players use it for submitting their lists. It makes it easier to check, reducing your time. It also allows you to collate lists and distribute them to players.<br /><br />PEER SCORING: Where you are using peer scoring e.g. Sports, be very clear what default expectation is. That way you avoid "Russian Judge" problem<br /><br />TIMETABLE: Publish a timetable and stick to it. This allows out of towners to book travel knowing that they will not be rushed.<br /><br />RULINGS: Make it clear that Umpire's rulings are final. There is nothing as unhelpful as a player wishing to argue the toss after a ruling has been given.<br /><br />I'm sure I'll think of others.<br /><br />PeteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835921145774599372noreply@blogger.com
