Ein paar Neuigkeiten zum 1. EU Invitational auf der ClogCon:


2015 Warmachine European Invitational Bracket announced.

We are pleased to release the bracket lineup for the 2015 European Invitational. Please see the image below for the lineup.





2015 Warmachine European Invitational Rules

1. There are 15 Qualifier events and the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) to determine the Invitational grid.
   
   
2. There are also a number of Alternate Qualifier events. Each Alternate event is connected to one or more Qualifiers.
   
   
3. The winner of a Qualifier event earns a spot in the Invitational that is predetermined by the published Bracket.
   
   
4. If the winner of a Qualifier event has already won a Qualifier, the 2nd place ranked player in the tournament earns the spot.
   
   
5. If the final two opponents in a Qualifier have both earned a spot already, the Alternate Qualifier event associated with the Qualifier event become active. The winner of the Alternate event earns the active spot. If the winner of the Alternate has already won a Qualifier, the 2nd place ranked player earns the spot.
   
   
6. Players who have earned spots to the Invitational will be asked to confirm their attendance by November 1st, 2015. Anyone who cannot attend the Invitational will give up their spot for the Alternate Qualifier connected to their event.
   
   
7. If other circumstances arise regarding qualified players not covered by these rules, they will be resolved on a case-by-case basis.
   
   
8. Qualified players are ineligible to play in the LCQ.
   
   
9. The winner of the LCQ earns the LCQ spot in the Invitational.
   
   
10. For any remaining open spots in the Invitational, they will be seeded by players from the LCQ in ranked SoS order. That is, the highest ranked eligible player in the LCQ will be seeded into the highest ranked open spot in the Invitational.
    
    
11. The Invitational will be run as a normal tournament (ie it will not be an elimination style event). Therefore the Invitational will end with a ranked order of players. The only exception is that the winning group’s matchups will be dictated by the published Invitational Bracket system.
    
    
12. The Invitational will be run as a 2 list required, 50 point Steamroller 2015 tournament using Deathclocks; however, players will NOT be required to use each list.
    
    
13. Models used at the Invitational must be painted and based.
