Championship Tournament date: TBD
What’s the league about?
Intergalactic Plastic runs a recurring 40k league. Every quarter (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, July-Sep, Oct-Dec) we start a new season of the 40k league where players will have a chance to compete against other 40k players for a chance to be store champion, win prizes, and get discounts on Games Workshop products.
How does it work?
Play games against other opponents to score points based on objectives scored and objectives denied for a match. After the end of the quarter, the top 2 players are granted entry into the championship and the next 8 players will play in an elimination tournament to decide the final 2 players in the championship. Then the league resets for the next quarter.
How do I get started?
Pick an army, register and pay the entry fee with the game coordinator at the shop. Play an initial placement match by signing up in the store’s discord, then challenge other players that are ranked near you. A second army (2 maximum) can be played, but a separate rank and league score will be created.
What do you mean ranked?
Standings are based on each player’s top 4 qualifying matches, which will be refreshed at the end of every league week on Mondays. Then players are free to setup matches based on the the standings for the next week, starting on Tuesdays.
What makes up a qualifying match?
You can only count one match per opponent. In other words, you can’t have your top 4 matches all be against the same opponent. You can play the same opponent multiple times, but only the highest score will be counted that is eligible.
Your opponent must be an eligible opponent. In the standings, an opponent is eligible if they are not more than 5 places below you and an opponent is always eligible if they are above you.
Matches can be played at 1000 or 2000 points. Negotiate this before the match begins.
Current competitive play mission rules must be used (Pariah Nexus) and all official FAQs, rules changes, codices are applicable at the time of their release.
How does scoring work?
Once a match is complete, provide the match’s score in the warhammer-scores Discord channel so that they may be recorded.
Provide these details for the match:
Player 1 Name, Army, Match Score (only mission points + 10 for battle ready, even if not painted; up to 100)
Player 2 Name, Army, Match Score (only mission points + 10 for battle ready, even if not painted; up to 100)
The league scoring system for a match is comprised of two components:
All the points you accrue by scoring missions, up to 100 (this is your match score)
All the points you deny your opponent from 100
For example, if I win a match 74 to 36, then my MATCH score is 74, however my LEAGUE score is 74 (my score) + 64 (100 minus my opponents score, also known as points denied, so 100 - 36 = 64) which gives me a total LEAGUE score for this match of 138 points. When you report your match, only report the match scores of each player as represented above.
How does the championship work?
At the end of the quarter, the regular season will end (winter, spring, summery, fall), the top 8 championship ranked players will be scheduled for a 3 round single elimination tournament. The last player standing will be declared the League Champion for the season.
Additional Contests
During the League Quarter, there will also be a best painted miniature competition, an award for most league matches played, and award for most unranked matches played!
