Scoring Tournament Points
At the end of each round, players tally up and compare Victory Points. The player with the most VPs wins the round, or in the case of equal VPs, the game is a draw. However, you also need to calculate how many Tournament Points each player is awarded:
| Result | Tournament Points | |
| Win by 3 or more Victory Points | Major Win | 4 |
| Win by 1-2 Victory Points | Minor Win | 3 |
| Equal amount of Victory Points | Draw | 2 |
| Lose by 1-2 Victory Points | Narrow Loss | 1 |
| Lose by 3 or or more Victory Points | Decisive Loss | 0 |
Prizes
Prizes are awarded to three winners: Best Overall, Favourite Army, and Best Sport.
- Best Overall – The player who scored the highest amount of Tournament Points throughout the tournament. In the case of a tie, the player who scored the highest amount of Victory Points wins.
- Favourite Army – The player who scored the most votes for their army! Each player may vote for their favourite army based on painting skill, theme, or simply by the rule of cool!
- Best Sport – The player who scored the most votes for “Favourite Opponent”. In the event of a tie, there will be a roll-off!
