Topic: Help! - Tournament Rules

[Athiuen]

I have a tournament coming up and the rules were just posted but I have no idea how to interpret them (specifically the character rules).
What does this mean?

WARBANDS
[ ] 5 x 1000 pt games (90min each)
[ ] 4x4 Tables.
Characters:
[ ] 35% army character limit.
[ ] Max 4 wounds.
[ ] No Duplicates unless a BSB
[ ] Only characters with a maximum of (x) points may be used.
Unit Strength 1- 95pts
Unit Strength 3- 110pts
[ ] Maximum 0-50pts of Magic items/ Runes/ Tattoes/ Virtues/ Gifts/ Vampire/ Big names combined per character.
Army:
[ ] 3+ units (characters and war machines don't count)
[ ] No single unit size over 250pts or 25 models.
[ ] No unit entry duplicates. Except if in core where you can have a second of the same unit entry.
[ ] Max 2 war machines.
[ ] Magic banners- core only
[ ] Any model can only ever use 2 different saves.
[ ] No special characters.
[ ] No Allies.
[ ] No Mercenaries

I think I have a handle on the units rules - they're pretty straight forward.

The character rules, however, are a mess.
Is each US1 character limited to 95 points (before or after magic items/enhancements) or am I limited to 95 points of US1 characters? Do character upgrades (non-magic armour and weapons) count towards this point value or is this just the buy-in value?
What about US2 cavalry characters? Are they unlimited?
Are the magic item restrictions for all characters or each individual character?

Contact your tournament organizers. If your confused then likely others are as well.

[Athiuen]

Yeah, I have. I just wanted to see if others saw the same problems.

Please report back because that looks confusing to say the least.

I would break the 10 outriders into 2 groups of 5.   As they are core this should be permitted.

1 unit per 1000 points is core.
