Scale:
Will be 20/25/28mm (60mm frontage). Each entrant should bring an army, although several loan armies will be available on request.
Armies will be composed of 24 army points. Players are not limited to army lists printed in the rules book, but armies must obey the element composition rules. Playing surfaces with pre-set terrain will be provided, but players are expected to bring Strongholds for their armies. Each player retains the same army and army composition throughout the tournament.

A pre-set draw will be provided, with players playing five games during the day. The unpire will lso be playing in the tournament.
Scoring:

Tally opponent’s lost/destroyed AP (as defined in the rulebook) and record this along with each player’s game score game scores for use in the event of a tie-break.
Normally draws shouldn't happen, but there is a time limit of one hour per game. If at the end of the hour a game is not finished, the umpire will, at the end of the current turn, declare the game a raw. All army points killed should still be recorded and submitted to the umpire on the results sheet in the case of a tie for overall tournament winner.

Terrain
1. Games will be played on a 3'x3' playing area.
2. Attacker defender will be determined in the usual way. Terrain set-up is defined on page 13 of the rule-book, conforming with the terrain rules as printed on pages 11 and 12 of the rule book. Players will provide their own terrain.
3. The attacker then uses the rules as written to determine the attacker/defender baselines.
4. Game set up and play then proceeds as outlined in the rules book.
Tournament Etiquette
1. The defender will define troop types prior to the attacker setting up. The attacker will define troop types once set up is complete.
2. It is good manners not to take back a move once an element has been moved. If doubt arises about where an element was before it was moved, and the umpire is called, a die roll will be used to settle the disagreement.
3. Pre-measuring is allowed.
4. In the words of the organizers of the 2008 TAGCon DBA tournament: "We are confident that all (HotT) players will be polite and play for the sheer enjoyment of killing, burning and pillaging rather than pin-pricking." You are the commander of a fantasy army intent on world domination!!!! Get in their and fight for it!!!!
Prizes:
The tournament winner will receive the HotT 'Emperor Dragon' Trophy, and a small prize pack.
Prizes will also be awarded for best-presented army, and most memorable game incident, both determined by player nomination.
