Crossfire Gaming Club Presents: The Colosseum!
Ready for a night of fierce competition, glory, and ultimate gaming bragging rights? Join us on Thursday, December 19th, for our first-ever Crossfire Colosseum event, a fast-paced Warhammer 40K mini-tournament in a battle royale format. Based on Play on Tabletop’s King of the Colosseum, as seen below.
Event Overview
In the Crossfire Colosseum, players will go head-to-head in rapid-fire matches, battling through a series of randomised 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. The grand prize? A yet to be announced prestigious reward (we’ve still to decide!), club-wide glory, and a spot in our new Hall of Fame!

How It Works
As soon as a game finishes, players are paired up for the next round with others who have completed their battles. Winners face winners, and losers face losers, unless players have already clashed, in which case they’ll wait for new challengers. Here’s how the scoring works:
- Win: 4 points
- Draw: 2 points
- Narrow Loss (within 20 points): 1 point
