How do Malediction tournaments work?

Players register and submit a deck, then play several Swiss-paired rounds. Each game's mastery result is reported and confirmed, standings update per round, and the organiser finalises the event into rankings and season awards.

Do both players report a Malediction match result?

One player reports the result and the opponent confirms it. Confirmation updates both records, ELO and rankings automatically.

What should I bring to a Malediction tournament?

Your painted warband, deck list, dice, tokens, husks and a tape measure — plus the event's required entry fee if one is listed.

How Malediction tournaments work

Tournaments are just several good games in a row with someone keeping score. Knowing the shape of the day removes most of the nerves.

Registering and submitting a deck

Events list their mode, battlefield size, entry fee and round count up front. You register, then submit the deck you intend to play — saved decks from your Seeker profile can be attached directly, which locks a snapshot for the organiser.

Pairings and rounds

Most events use Swiss pairings: you play opponents on a similar record each round, so games stay competitive whether you are chasing the top table or a fun afternoon. Pairings are posted per round and each player reports their result.

Reporting results and mastery

Results are recorded as mastery totals rather than a simple win or loss, which feeds standings, tiebreakers, ELO and season rankings. Your opponent confirms the report, so both records stay accurate without anyone entering the same game twice.

Finalising an event

Once the last round is reported, the organiser finalises standings. Results flow into rankings, champions, feuds and season awards, and the event becomes part of the community chronicle.

Preparing for your first tournament

Play your list at least five times before the event — familiarity beats optimisation.
Bring a written or saved deck list, dice, tokens, a tape measure and your husks.
Read the event's mode and battlefield size; Clash and Dominion reward very different lists.
Arrive early, eat something, and expect to lose a game. Everyone does.
