Got you. Would drawing 2 chips per event be better? This way we cycle through all colors in about 4 weeks instead of 9. Also, we'd limit points earned through 'global goals' to (1) point per tournament

It would break down like this:

Bob is Red Lantern
Eric is Green Lantern
Kate is Violet Lantern
Doug is Yellow Lantern

At the beginning of the tournament these chips are drawn: Red & Yellow

Bob (Red Lantern) gets 1 point
Doug (Yellow Lantern) gets one point

The Red Lantern Chip has this (preliminary) Global Goal: "If you KO your opponent’s entire force, earn (1) participation point."

The Yellow Lantern Chip has this (preliminary) Global Goal: "When your opponent makes a successful break away roll from one of your characters, earn (1) participation point".


During the 3 rounds of the tournament, this happens:


Bob (Red Lantern) Loses all 3 rounds, but he managed to have his opponent in round 2 roll a successful break-away from one of his characters, so he earns (1) more point.

Eric (Green Lantern) completely sweeps his opponents in all 3 rounds. He's met the global goal for the Red Lantern chip, so he earns (1) point.

Kate (Violet Lantern) also has swept an opponent AND had an opponent roll a successful break-away. Even though she met the global goals for both Red and Yellow, she only earns (1) point max.

Doug (Yellow Lantern) Does not sweep an opponent, and never has an opponent roll a successful break-away roll so he never meets any of the global goals for the tournament.

At the end we have:

Bob (Red) = 2 points
Eric (Green) = 1 point
Kate (Violet) = 1 point
Doug (Yellow) = 1 point


The next week, the Red and Yellow chips would not be returned to the bag until all other chips have been drawn.

I think the best way to do it would to just have a global goal for each faction that is static for every event. I.e. if you are a red lantern and you wipe you get the bonus point. the whole drawing thing seems necessary. I would also make sure all global goals can be achieved without requiring opponent action. If I am playing a sinestro corp guy under your scenario I am going to try to avoid breakaways at all cost because I don't want to help my opponent.

The global goals I am working on. I'll post later what I have and get some feedback.

As for the 'factions in attendance' points, the idea is to get players out for non-WoL events too, which is why I'm leaning towards keeping that option for participation points in there.

Does anyone else have issues with awarding (1) point if you are a member of a faction and your chip is pulled that day?

Are you all ready for War of Light? Here are the finalized details:

War of Light Event Layout

War of Light is a 6 month long storyline event (6 events total). Each month you can earn Participation Points (as well as non-WoL events). These points will qualify you to play in the final event, and get you a chance to win the Grand Prize in Month 6- Nekkron with the Black Lantern Power Battery!

What Are the Prizes?

For each event, there are participation prizes (which are awarded to all players upon completion of the event) and event prizes (awarded to the winner, 2nd place and fellowship).

How do I Qualify for the Final Event in Month 6?

The day of the Month 6 event, the top 10 players who are highest on participation points in attendance will play for the final prize (until there is a clear cut winner).

The seatings will begin at 12:30 and will be read from the highest ranking downward. If you are not in attendance, your name will be skipped and all other players with a lower rank will bump up in ranking.


How Do I Rack Up Participation Points?

*At War of Light Events-

You earn (1) participation point for completing an event, (1) point for each round loss, (2) points for each round win, and (3) points for winning an event.

*At All Other Events-

There will be a bag with (9) Faction Tokens inside representing each of the 9 Lantern Colors. Prior to the start of round 1 at any non-WoL event, (2) of these Faction Tokens will be pulled. Faction Tokens will not return to the bag until there are no more Faction Tokens to pull.

**Faction Bonus- If the chip representing your selected faction is pulled, and you are in attendance you earn (1) participation point after completion of the tournament.

** Global Goals- For each chip pulled for that tournament, there is a corresponding 'Global Goal' that *any player* can achieve. You may earn a maximum of (1) participation point per event for meeting any number of Global Goals The Global Goals are as follows:

Green Lanterns- If a character on your force KO’s an opposing character of a higher point value, earn (1) participation point.

Blue Lanterns- During one full match in a tournament, when using Perplex, only use it to increase combat values. If you meet this criteria, earn (1) participation point.

Red Lanterns- KO your opponent’s entire force. Earn (1) participation point.

Yellow Lanterns- During one full match in a tournament, when using Perplex, only use it to decrease combat values. If you meet this criteria, earn (1) participation point.

Star Sapphires- When you make a successful roll for Shape Change and the result is a 6, earn (1) participation point. *Note- your friendly figure using Shape Change must not be able to be targeted by the attacker after this use of Shape Change (i.e. Battle Fury ignores Shape Change, but you still roll the D6)

Indigo Tribe- If a friendly character heals another friendly character that has taken damage from an opponent this match, earn (1) participation point.

Orange Lanterns- If you purchase a minimum of $5 at the store (above any required purchase for the day), Earn (1) participation point.

White Lanterns- If a friendly character uses Support or Regeneration and the amount healed is 2 or more clicks, earn (1) participation point.

Black Lanterns- If a friendly character heals as a result of an attack against an opposing figure, earn (1) participation point.

Some items to note on what's different from AvX:

Winning a tournament at a WOL event gets you (3) points instead of (2). This is the WK suggested format.

No extra points for purchases, with the exception of the Orange Lantern global goal.

Attendance points for non- WOL events are awarded only if your Faction Token is pulled and you are in attendance.

No 'last chance qualifier' or awarding byes for Month 6. You just need to be present in Month 6 and be the top 10 on Participation Points.

Today is the big day! War of Light month 1 begins at 12:30!

We've got 19 players registered to play today, so please only bring into the venue items you need to play the game. Tackle boxes with trades and other extraneous items will need to be left in your car.

We are going to start letting you get boosters at 12:30. If you aren't in attendance when your name is called, we will skip and move to the next player on the list.

If you are getting a Deadpool booster, Howard has them behind the counter to prevent cherry picking.

Good luck to all! I've got a fresh batch of laminated maps for prizes today.

Is today 100% sealed? Do i need to bring anything?

Hey,

If so - let me know if you need help reaching the buy-in price.

Finally came out (alive) through a major work event which had been draining me and eating up my weekends, causing me to withdraw from the past couple events I'd signed up for. I'm interested in getting out to play, but not interested in War of Light... which is the only thing on the official schedule at the moment, right?

War of Light faction standings were updated with total points prior to today's Month 2 Event.

I've also got a tracker so you can see what Faction Chips have been pulled thus far for all other non WoL events.

Events are not updated yet, but I will add new ones later... including the WoL Battle Royal that has been added to the Wizkids WES for the end of July.

War of Light Month 2 is today!

Updated events through August!

Player standings for WoL have been updated!

The Faction chips have reset. Thus far, only Orange & Black have been pulled for this round of events!

War of Light battle royale starts at 12:30 today! We have enough boosters to run a total of 5 BR's with pods of 4 players each.
