After reading the news item, I didn't consider entering this years warpstone. Now after spectating a game (which was really one sided, no shock there) I see the news item was really misleading it isnt following any KotH rules at all?
It is just a straight unscheduled knock out tourney like the FA cup is.
King of the hill (game)

I was expecting it to be some challenge league format where you challenge/are drawn against someone with a similar record like in a swiss system (which fumbbl has used in a previous major tourney).
Oh and I see this team are in a group with only 10 opponents, rather than 15... as if they needed any further help.  |

the name is misleading. king of the hill is christers name for a ko tourney where every round is drawn after the round before finishs (not allowing planning ahead so much with money, stars etc.)
and with all the respect to the eaters (they are still the best shot to win the group) they have picked up enough injuries to make it a little more interesting |

I think the concept you were looking for was employed in this group.. Unfortunatelly, the workload to admin such a league was a bit too high for me alone, so it eventually died. |

the temple guard lasts until upcoming lustria - or his death, whichever comes first. |

When they won the Temple Guard from the Lustrian Challange the rules were different there was no time limit on it. |

You are all both right and wrong.
The orginal TGC were absurdly powerful and permanent.
The new TGC still rocks, but now generates TR (they never did before) and stays only a year. It didnt seem fair to just yank away the ones that existed as the winners believed they had the player for life, so everry TGC owner was given a years notice and all existant will dissapear after the next LC.
Except for the one won that time, which will stay a year, then go. |

Ironically, this would be the one instance where I could see "aging" as an acceptable solution. Basically, every year, every temple guard gains a niggling injury. That way people could keep them around as trophies/mascots, but lose the powerful presence on the team of a reliable player who shows up every game. |

Just because he didn't accumulate SPP and count for TR, or were his stats different as well? |
