Please note, I am not blaming anyone over this year's timing, OK?

Perhaps it would help if we could agree the timing of the games on Sunday and give some idea of the latest that the event will finish, being generous with the timing for speeches, prize-giving, post game discussions etc. This might just give people the chance of a flight on Sunday evening (for all except the 'locals' like STM, ).

However, I still advise against it not least because it will give people another chance to exchange views in the evening as well as sampling the delights of Stockholm night life . . .

Hey, can anyone confirm what's actually happening with the EEC 2016? Time's a-ticking and people need notice to book cheaper flights and hotels

The most important things are probably dates and timings, which lists are permissable, scoring system and also details of location and surrounding area for restaurants, hotels and airports.... if we want to keep increasing attendance and growing the event, putting the word out early is key to getting maximum participants

Putting the word out on epic-fr and epic-de would be useful if you haven't already

So what's going on guys?

Hi guys!

We’d like to welcome you all Norrköping may 21-22 of may 2016 for the EEC 2016.

We will continue to build on the format used by previous two tournaments. It will be a team tournament and each team should have 4 members.

We will be able to arrange for up to 8 teams to come to the event (e.g. 32 players or 16 tables). Games will be arranged between teams so for instance during round 1 all four players in team UK will be matched against the players from team Norway etc. Within the teams players will be matched according to swiss.

Each country’s community decide on how to choose these teams as they see fit as previously. Teams from different countries will have precedence, however a country may bring more than one team if all 8 posistion are not taken by actual countries (a likely event based on attendance previous years). We reserve the right to take the first dual team place for Sweden, if any, with us having the home turf.

Five rounds will be played over two days. Three on the Saturday and two on the Sunday. Each round will be 3 hours maximum, in addition after 2h 30 min a call will go out to mark the time and players are asked to not start any new game turns. A scedule for the event can be seen below.


Saturday

09:30 - 09:45 Information.
09:45 - 12:45 Game 1

17:00 - 17:? Ending – Price ceremony.


A players score in each game will be based on the epic-UK tournament scoring system. A teams score is the total of the four players individual score. Each team will recieve a bonus 20 pts to it’s team score if they get more wins in a round then the opposing team (not counting winning draws).

Prices will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, best individual score, and best painting (per popular vote).

Lists used will be the Approved ones in the NetEA tournament pack. One exception is Death Korps of Krieg which will use the developmental list. This list will also hopefully be approved by May and will then replace the one in the pack.

The different list are divided into race categories. A team may only bring one list from each race. The different races are:

Adeptus Mechanicus – Knight World, Titan Legion

Chaos Cultist – Stigmatus Convenant

Chaos Space marines – Black Legion

Dark Eldar – Kabal of Pain
