Tournament Details

Scenarios will be:

• Round 1: Slayer OP
• Round 2: Husky Strongholds
• Round 3: Husky Siege
• Round 4: Husky King of the Hill

All scenarios are outlined in the Organized Play Season 1 packet on the Halo Flashpoint App.

The top tables (tables 1-4) will use official terrain setups as outlined in the packet.

For the remaining tables, we will use different terrain setups from those prescribed in the packet, and opponents may agree to alter terrain with a Judge present before the game begins.

We will not use the Recon roll rules. Instead, players will roll off before setting up their fireteams. The winner will choose deployment zone and which player goes first in round 1; and the loser will provide their weapon deck for the game.

Rounds will be 90 minutes. Players will have 10 minutes to finish the current round when time is called; otherwise, the scores will be recorded as they are at the end of that 10 minutes. Event schedule is as follows:
