Roster creation
The Rules for team creation will be the same as the rules for the World Cup in Dornbirn, specific the rules under the headings 2 Division of races (Tiers) and 3 Team Creation. The different days in that ruleset are represented in different matches at Sweden Team Championship 2019 according to the following table:

Match 1 and 2 = play with the rules for day 1
Match 3 and 4 = play with the rules for day 2
Match 5 and 6 = play with the rules for day 3

The following section is copied from the rules for the World Cup in Dornbirn and are the rules that Sweden Team Championship 2019 will use for team creation. References to the world cup has been removed from the copied text to avoid confusion.

Tiers
In order to reduce the unbalancing between the different races the races is divided into four tiers.
• Tier 1: Amazons, Bretonnians, Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Lizardmen, Norse, Orcs, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elves
• Tier 2: Chaos Renegades, Elf Union, High Elves, Humans, Khemri, Necromantic
• Tier 3: Daemons of Khorne, Chaos, Nurgle’s Rotters, Slann, Underworld Denizens, Vampires
• Tier 4: Goblins, Halflings, Ogres
Teams will be built and will gain improvements (additional skills or stat upgrades) according to their placement in the tier system above. The composition of all teams and all improvements to be taken must be submitted before the tournament.

Team Building
Coaches must spend a minimum of 1,100,000 gold pieces when building their team. When building your team, you may buy:
• At least 11 standard roster players before any star player

Filling in your roster
We insist that you use the roster in the following link when you fill in your team: http://www.nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/Downloads/WC4-Coach-Roster.xlsx . It will correct your roster so it obliges with the world cup ruleset, but you still have to check so your roster is correct and follow the rules for team building above.

Team development
All games are played without post-match procedures and thus without winnings, player purchases etc. All injuries and earned star player points are waived after each game. So, each game starts with the same players on the roster.

Tournament format
The tournament consist of six rounds. Match 1-4 Saturday May the 18:th and match 5-6 Sunday May the 19:th.

Scoring:
All individual games in will be scored as follow:
• Win = 5 individual points
• Draw = 2 individual points
• Lose = 0 individual points.

The Squad that gets the most individual points from a match up will get a squad win for that match up. If both squads get the same total of individual points they both gets a squad draw.
The squad matchup will be scored as follow:
• Squad win = 2 squad points
• Squad draw = 1 squad point
• Squad loss = 0 squad points

The Squads are ranked as follow:
1. sum of squad points,
2. then sum of opponent’s squad points,
3. then sum of individual points,
4. then net TD score,
5. then net CAS score *
6. then by the earlier complete squad registration (ie. sent in all the information correct and payed, if a squad sends in correct information and later want to make changes the date and time for those changes are the date and time that count for this tie breaker).

* Please note that only casualties that would yield star player point counts for tiebreaker.
