In the Warhammer 40k Crossfire Colosseum, players will go head-to-head in rapid-fire matches, battling through a series of pairings. Winners advance to face other victors, while the less fortunate clash with each other in a bid for redemption. The scoring format ensures that everyone stays in the running until the final game, with points awarded for both winning and closing in on the competition.

Game Organisation on the Night.
The tournament organiser will determine matchups for the first round, after which players will find their own opponents.
Scoresheets will be available at the tournament organiser desk and on tables. Please jointly complete one per game and submit to the desk after the game is finished. Scores are based on the game outcome rather than points score through missions. Points are awarded as below (Half points for unfinished games at the end of the night).
- Win: 4 tournament points
- Draw: 2 tournament points
- Narrow Loss (within 20 points): 1 tournament point
If you win the game. stand in the winner’s circle and match yourself up with you next opponent who you have not played yet.
If you lose the game. stand in the loser’s circle area and match yourself up with your next opponent who you have not played yet.
Winners must play winners; losers must play losers.
The quicker you find your next opponent. the more games you will have and therefore more points you will get!
