TOURNAMENT OF "THE ART OF WAR" IN THE ALJARAFE AREA (SEVILLE)

GENERAL INFORMATION
Date: November 29-30, 2025.
Location: Multipurpose Hall of the Gines Town Hall. C/ Cervantes 4, 41960 Gines, Seville.

TOURNAMENT RULES:
Theme: Ancient warfare on preset tables.
Armies from the classical and Roman periods are allowed, except for the Far East.
Accepted lists are as follows:
38 to 77 and 83 to 114 but only up to 450 AD, for both main armies and allies.
Pre-registration: Until September 1, 2025 via the WhatsApp list (Hispania Adlg group, ADLG International) or by email at strategiturdetani@gmail.com.

Registration: The final inclusion in the tournament must meet the following two requirements within the indicated deadlines:
1. **Payment of registration fee.** Only players who complete payment within the deadline will be included in the tournament. Registration opens on August 15, 2025. The deadline is October 21, 2025 (23:59).
2. **Submission of army lists.** Lists must be sent to strategiturdetani@gmail.com before November 15, 2025, at 23:59.
Send an email to strategiturdetani@gmail.com indicating ADLG ID, full name, and club affiliation. The response will include the bank account number or Bizum for registration payment.

Registration fee: €35 if paid before September 30, 2025, with the right to veto a table. After September 30, €40.

Slots: The number of slots is 30 (we cannot guarantee space for more, but we will try).

Scale: Armies will be played with 15mm miniatures, on bases according to the official rulebook for this scale. Miniatures must correctly represent their assigned troop type and the army must be fully painted.

Rules: The V4 version of "Art De La Guerre" will be applied, including the latest official publication, as well as clarifications and amendments found in the latest FAQ. This information will be available on the ADLG - Art De La Guerre website.

Scoring: Rankings will be based on victory points according to the downloadable Excel sheet available on the game's official website.

Duration: Matches will last 2 hours and 30 minutes with a minimum of 7 turns per player. However, if time permits and at the request of any player, the referee may increase the minimum number of turns for a specific match to 8.
Players will have a chess clock with 45 minutes per player, which will count for the movement phase. During the resolution of shooting and combat, the clock will be paused (it may also be stopped by mutual agreement between players or at the referee’s indication).
When a player exhausts their 45 minutes, they will begin Blitz movements with 2 minutes of time.
Ten minutes before the match ends, an assessment will be made to determine whether the defender can play their final turn. If so, they will play that turn and the match will end. If not, the match will conclude immediately.

Accepted armies: Army lists may not exceed 200 points, according to V4 of the "Art De La Guerre" rulebook, from the pre-listed options including their allies. Both the main list and allies must belong to the indicated period. The submitted list must clearly indicate the list's year and which command contains the CinC. If an allied contingent is included, it must be valid for the same year specified in the main list.

Preconfigured tables: Matches will be played on preconfigured tables, published well in advance for all players to familiarize themselves. Terrain elements on these tables cannot be modified or moved.
At the start of each round, the table assignment for each player pair will be drawn, starting with the highest-ranked players (in the first round, ordering will be based on the ELO level of the best-ranked player in the pair).
At the start of the match, players will determine who has the initiative, following the rules. The winner of the initiative will choose their side of the table and decide whether to be attacker or defender.

Table veto: Players who complete registration before September 30 may veto one table, meaning they will not play on the chosen table in any of their matches. The vetoed table must be communicated to the tournament organizers via email at strategiturdetani@gmail.com.

Rounds: Three rounds will be played on Saturday and two on Sunday morning, avoiding club members playing against each other whenever possible. The first pairing will be random or by challenge system. The remaining pairings will follow the Swiss system, preventing players who have already played against each other from meeting again.

Challenges: For the first round, players may issue a challenge to another player. If the challenged player accepts, the pairing will be recorded for the first round. In cases of multiple challenges, priority will be given to the first accepted challenge. To maintain tournament organization mental health, once a challenge is accepted, no changes will be allowed. The deadline for issuing challenges is November 10, 2025.
Once a challenge is arranged, players must make it public and inform the tournament organizers.
Challenges between members of the same club will not be allowed.

Mats and terrain elements: Leave them at home, you’re playing on preset tables.

Dice: Only dice provided by the organizers may be used. If both players agree, they may use the optional 3D6 rule (page 83 of the rulebook).

If both players agree, can the use of the chess clocks be "paused" for both players immediately after starting the game ?

Tim, you come to Spain too often and you already look like a Spaniard. Here we say "Hecha la ley, hecha la trampa" that can be translated as "Every law has a loophole". I'll ask to the refree.

Have a good day.
