New to BFC: Where can I find rules regarding?

I checked the players guide (Golden Age) and didn't see much of an explanation as to how they work. Unfortunately I can't download the 2010 Rulebook off of heroclix.com to check there. Can someone please explain to me how they are applied to the game?

Thanks!

It depends if you're looking to use them for one game or a whole tournament. The rulebook covers them for a single game.

From pp. 19-20 of the 2010 Core Rulebook:

Quote

Battlefield conditions change the environment of the battlefield. When assembling your force, you can include a single battlefield condition. A battlefield condition has no point value and does not count toward the point total of a force.
During Step 2 of Preparing For Battle, after starting areas have been determined, all players reveal their battlefield condition card simultaneously.
A battlefield condition alters the rules of the game as explained in its card text. Battlefield conditions affect only characters on the map. If multiple copies of a battlefield condition that causes a die (or dice) roll to occur are in play, roll the die (or dice) for each copy in play. If a player’s force is eliminated, his or her battlefield condition remains in effect until the end of the game.

If you're looking to use them in a tournament, you want to reference the HeroClixComprehensive Tournament Rules.

From the HeroClixComprehensive Tournament Rules:

Quote

2.3.1 Battlefield Condition Cards: A player is not required to bring any battlefield condition cards (BFC) to an event, but they are legal in all Golden Age events. Each player can add a number of BFCs to his or her force equal to the total number of rounds in the tournament (counting both Swiss and elimination rounds). Players must decide which BFCs to add to their forces before the first round of the tournament begins or the judge requires a written list, whichever comes first. None of the BFCs on your force can share the same name, regardless of any other differences in set symbol or other markings.
After choosing starting areas (see Battlefield Conditions on page 19 of the HeroClix 2010 Core Rulebook), each player chooses a BFC to use for that match from the BFCs selected earlier in the tournament. All players reveal their card at the same time. Players can choose to reveal no card (players can use placeholder cards – any card-sized element except another BFC – to reveal as “no card”). Players can’t change their choice once another player has revealed their selection.
At the end of the round in which a BFC has been revealed, that BFC is removed from the tournament and can’t be selected in future rounds. Written notation should be made by the judge or opponent at the judge’s discretion as to which BFC was played in each round. For tournaments both with and without force lists, you must show your opponent(s) which BFCs are available to you to reveal if requested before anyone reveals a BFC for the round.

If you have any questions after all that, just ask.
