Art De La Guerre

[kevinj]

I know we haven't had round 3 yet but we've only got a short gap between rounds 3 and 4 this year.

The fourth Round of the 2023 Northern League will be on Sunday, 3rd September at:

Manchester Area Wargames Society
Magdalene Centre,
Catherine Street
Winton, Eccles,
Greater Manchester
M30 8JD

Players to arrive at 09:00 am for a 9:30 start to the games.

The rules to be used are L’art de la guerre Fourth Edition 2021.

The theme for this round is Medieval. You may use any army dated between 1330 AD – 1500 AD (inclusive).

If you would like to play but don’t have a suitable army please get in touch as I will probably be able to lend you one.

Army Lists should be sent to Mick Hood (mh014c5606@gmail.com) two weeks before the event.

The venue has tea and coffee making facilities and there are shops and cafes nearby.

The Northern League is a series of one day competitions consisting of 5 rounds. Each is a separate event, so players my enter as many or few events as they wish. However, there is also an overall championship, for which up to four of each player's scores will be counted. The cost of each round is £5 per player. This is a Singles competition, but players may enter as a pair if they wish.

New players are always welcome.

This event will consist of 3 games of 2.25 - 2.5 hours.

First game draws for this round will be based on the scores after Round 3, with the proviso that nobody will be drawn against anyone they played in that round. Players who did not play in any previous Round will be drawn randomly. I will avoid drawing people against those from the same club for the first game where possible. The second and third game draws will be done using the normal Swiss system. Scoring will be the standard method from the ADLG website and the event's results will be submitted for UK and International rankings.

Our numbers have dropped for this round due to a combination of holidays and a number of the usual suspects attending a tournament in a more exoctic location. Here's the R&R:

Is first round draw for next one based on all 4 scores, or does it drop one to work out more representative current positions, as I think year end is best 4 from 5 only?

[kevinj]

It’s based on total scores.
