Introduction

The tournament is a swiss-style five round tournament. Each player get three points for a win, and one point for a loss. The player with the most points wins. In cases where the players have the same number of points, the player who lost his/her first game latest in the tournament wins. If two players have the same number of points and lost their first scenarion in the same round, the are ordered on the average rating of the opponents they've met during the tournament. Friendly Fire use ELO-style ratings with K=40.

The current ratings and the tournament results for 2003-2006 can be found here.

Scenario Selection

At the start of the tournament each player receives ten "scenario points" (SPs) [EXC: the tournament director receives only five]. Each player secretly designates one of the two scenarios as his preferred choice and spend 0-10 SPs (which are permanently lost) on it. If the players have bid on different scenarios, the one with most SPs is played. If the players bid on different scenarios and spent the same amount of SPs, they each make a DR, and whoever rolls the lowest gets to play his choice.

Side Selection

Friendly Fire utilizes the Australian Balance System (ABS) with secret bidding.

With the ABS, each scenario have eight levels of handicap; level 0-4 for each side. Each player secretly chooses a side and a handicap level. Upon revealing their bids, one of three things can happen:

The players have bid on different sides. Both players play the side and use the handicap level they bid.
The players have bid on the same side with different handicap levels. Whoever bid the highest level gets to play that side, and the other player is treated as if he'd bid at the other side at handicap level 0.
The players have bid on the same side with the same handicap level. Each player rolls a DR, and the player rolling the lowest gets to play the side and handicap he bid, the other player is treated as if he'd bid at the other side at handicap level 0.

Handicap levels are cumulative. Thus, handicap level A3, for example, includes the A2 and A1 handicaps as well.
