Halo: Flashpoint Event: STL Standard Issue Event

Standard Issue Only

With all the new rules, new units, and new players joining in on the Halo fun, it is time to get back to some basic Fireteams. Join the St. Louis, MO community for a 4-round, new-player freindly tournament we are calling: Standard Issue.

Standard Issue Format Rules

• • Players must build a 150 point Fireteam list using the Halo Index and the latest rules, updates and FAQs.
  • Fireteams cannot include any characters with Legend in the name. (No Master Chief, No Noble Team, No Atriox, etc.)
  • Some Organized Play Scenarios may be altered (minorly) to account for the lower point cost in a tournament setting.
  • Rounds are 1 hour and 17 min. long in honor of Master Chief.

Tournament Awards

We are using the Halo Index to run our tournament. The tournament includes standard achievements (no scenario-specific achievements), and success is measured by Tournament Points. All entry fees are divided among the following awards.

• • The players with the top 3 Tournament Points get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively.
  • The player with the most Headshots over the course of the day gains the Head Honcho award. If there is a tie, a roll-off will ensue.
  • Players will get a chance to vote for the army they believe is the coolest army (by whatever standard they choose.) An Award is given to the Player's Choice Fireteam.
  • The player who chose diplomacy over other methods of winning gets the Passive Fist award.

Scenarios

The following scenarios are being used in this tournament with the following modificaitons.

• • Slayer OP.  Each player starts with 6 VP at the start of the game.
  • Husky Strongholds.  There is no 2 VP space on the board.
  • Husky King of the Hill.  Section A is not required to have a hill of terrain on it.
  • OP VIP.  The VIP does not gain +2 Health if they are the VIP. They are just a Standard Issue target.
