APPENDIX IFORMAT AND RULES OF THE CANADIAN ASL OPENFormat:Before the start of the tournament, the TD mustdecide if he will be a paid registered player or afiller player. If the TD pays the registration fee, heis entitled to play in every round (even receive aBye in a round) and he is entitled to win prizes.The TD may choose to be a filler player for nofee. In that situation, the TD plays only if thereare an odd number of players available for around; as well, the TD would not be eligible forany prizes. In a round having an odd number ofplayers, the TD will offer the lowest rated player(EXC: a player may receive only one Bye) toaccept a Bye or to play the TD.T h e T D s h al l d i r ec t t o u r n amen t p l ayer s /adjudicators how to provide the results of eachgame, such that those results can be verifiedthroughout the tournament.The TD will seed all tournament participantsaccording to their current rating on the whateverrating system is available (http://www.aslarea.org since 2013). If no rating is available for aplayer, the TD will seed the player manually.Appendix III has suggested instructions forseeding an unrated player. For round one, the TDsorts the players by seed number. Then he pairsthe top half against the bottom half (e.g.: in afield of 24 players, the field is split into 2 groupsof 12. The #1 seeded player plays #13, #2 plays#14 etc.). The same method is applied in thefollowing rounds to groups of players having thesame victory-defeat record. If a group has an oddnumber of players, take the best player from thenext lower group. The TD may alter the pairings toprevent repeated pairings of the same players, orto fulfill a special player request.The player with the highest point total at the endof the tournament is the winner. See tournamentrule 13 for the earning of points. See Appendix IVfor instructions to determine the winner and thefinal rankings using the PRS.The CASLO consists of 5 rounds of play: 2 roundson Friday, 2 rounds on Saturday and 1 round onSunday. See Tournament Rule 22 for the schedule.The round timings will be strictly adhered tothroughout the tournament. Participants will playonly scenarios from the scenario list unless theTournament Director approves a non-tournamentscenario choice.

TOURNAMENT RULES1. All dice will be 7/16” to 5/8” standard 6 sidedASL dice. Any worn or damaged dice will notbe allowed in the tournament. Players will rolltheir dice using either a dice cup or a dicetower.2. All scenarios chosen for this event are small tomedium in size. Setup time is limited to 30minutes with 15 minutes allotted per player.Players must make every effort to adhere tothis time frame. Do not be shy to tell youropponent the time passage.Games thatexceed the allotted time frame for that rounddue to players taking too long to setup will beadjudicated accordingly.3. Players who are not present in the gaming areaat the start of the current Round will forfeittheir choice of scenario 10 minutes after theRound has begun. The late player will forfeitchoice of side as well after 20 minutes and willforfeit the game itself after 30 minutes.4. Each Round has a specific amount of timeallotted for the playing of the scenario. Rule 22has the schedule. With 1 hour remaining inthat Round a Fair Time Warning will be given toall players. With 20 minutes remaining in thatRound a Final Time Warning will be given forthe end of that round of play. If players havenot finished their game when time runs out,they will take up to five minutes to discusswhether one of them should concede or both ofthem should declare the game a draw. If theplayers do not reach an agreement, then theirmatch will be Adjudicated by the TournamentStaff. The reason for Adjudication is to avoidupsetting the tournament schedule by waitingfor games that run too long. See TournamentRule 15 for an explanation of the Adjudicationprocess.5. Consider and agree on ALL optional rulesbefore making scenario choices (e.g., IIFT, BI,PF usage, etc.).Any variable scenarioinformation (e.g.: VC choice, Bore-sightedhexes etc.) must be written down on a siderecord in ink for later verification.6. Players choose scenarios from the Scenario Listfor each round. No exceptions, other thanextenuating circumstances with the TD’sapproval, are permitted.Each player willsecretly pick their top three selections rankedas 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.Upon revealing thechoices to your opponent, scenario matches aredetermined (i.e.: scenarios that you bothpicked). Of the scenarios that are matches, theone with the lower Rank Average (RA), closestto the first choice, is the scenario to be played.In case of a tie, both players will make a DR.The player having the lowest DR has the choiceof the tied scenarios.EXAMPLE: Player A picks scenarios X1, X2 and X3as his 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices. Player B picksX3, X4 and X2 as his 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices.X4 and X1 are not considered since they are not amatch. X3 has a lower RA of 2 [(1 3/2 2] asopposed to X2 which has a RA of 2.5 [(2 3)/2 2.5]. X3 is the scenario these players will playin this round.7. Both players choose sides secretly. A playermay secretly choose to not pick a side thusnegating any Play Balance provisions. If bothplayers chose the same side, both playersmake a dr.The player with the lowest drreceives the side for which he bid and gives hisopponent the printed Play Balance. If neitherplayer chooses a side, they make a dr and theplayer with the lower dr chooses side with noPlay Balance given.8. Verify your opponents OB and the map boards’orientation before setup begins.9. Ask your opponent if they have considered allsetup restrictions for HIP units before Setup.Verify the legal Setup of all non-HIP unitsbefore the game begins. All HIP units musthave their locations written on a side record inink for later verification.10.If a player is found to have violated Setuprestrictions after play has commenced, anyillegally setup units are removed from play.Rules 8, 9 and 10 are meant to ensure a fairplaying of the scenario chosen. They are notintended to be a method for unethical play. Ifyou are aware of an error in the OB’s or in youropponents setup, you MUST make this errorknown to your opponent.11.Any rules dispute should be resolved first bythe players involved. If the players involvedcan not agree on a rule interpretation, theTournament Staff will decide on the rule inquestion.Any decisions made by theTournament Staff are final.12.Kibitzing is not tolerated!Absolutely nocomments within earshot of players on anygames in progress!13.The winner of the main tournament will be theplayer with the highest point total at the end ofthe tournament.Points are awarded asfollows:13.1.Ten points for every victory and five pointsfor every draw that a player has at the endof the tournament.

If a fire attack ora CC attack was declared and in the processof being resolved before the announcementto cease play, that attack is resolvedcompletely, including any resulting Sniperattacks, LLMC etc.15.2.T h r e e A d j u d i c a t o r s , u s u a l l y t h eTournament Staff (TD and two ATD’s),privately ask player “A” what his plan wasfor the scenario and what he planned to dohad play continued.15.3.They repeat the process with player “B”.15.4.The three Adjudicators then discuss thescenario situation among themselves.Noone other than the Adjudicators willcomment on this discussion unless asked todo so by the Adjudicators.15.5.The three Adjudicators secretly chooseone of three options: Allied Win, Axis Win orDraw. They then simultaneously reveal theirchoices. The match is decided based on themajority option chosen by the adjudicators.Say if 2 'Draws' are selected versus 1 'AlliedWin' or 'Axis Win', the final result is a 'Draw'.If they chose one of each option, then thematch result is a draw.15.6.If the game being Adjudicated involvesone or more members of the TournamentStaff, the non-involved Tournament Staff willappoint one or more experienced (as thenon-involved Tournament Staff decides)person(s) to assist in the Adjudication.16.In cases where a round has an odd number ofplayers, the lowest seeded player in the lowestW/L group in the round will receive a Bye.
