Relevant Scoring At Terracon 2012

Score Breakdown At Terracon 2012

Just going to do a quick math on the relevance of comp battle etc at Terracon, so the raw % breakdown for each set of criteria!

Battle points
5 games each worth 20 points = 100 points

Sportsmanship
5 games each worth 10 points = 50 points

Army Handicap
A score out of 60 = 60 points

Painting
A score out of 20 = 20 points

Total
230 points

This gives us a raw breakdown of:

Battle: 100/230 =  43.47%
Sports: 50/230   = 21.73%
Composition: 60/230 = 26.08%
Paint: 20/230 = 8.69%

Overall, it seems like a very soft score oriented event with non battle results counting for a total of 56% of your total score. However, when we take into account minimum scoring, we get a breakdown which looks more like the following...

Battle: Between 5-20 Points: Therefore a minimum of 25 will be obtained.
Sports: Between 2-10 Points. Therefore a minimum of 10 can be obtained.
Composition: Between 12-60 Points. A minimum of 12 can be obtained.
Paint: Entirely relevant. 0-20 points can be obtained.

This means, everyone starts with a score of 47/230. Irrelevant of other factors.

Relevant Battle: 75/183:  40.9%
Relevant Sports: 40/183: 21.85%
Relevant Composition: 48/183: 26.22%
Relevant Paint: 20/183 = 10.92%

Overall, this changes very little. paint becomes slightly more important than it did before accounting for 10% of your score while battle becomes devalued even more. Composition is worth quite a big chunk of your total through both raw score and relevant score.

Basic plan is to deploy the 12 man retinue blob with the 2 inquisitors and the two dreadnoughts in a corner of the board. Cast double psychic communion and deepstrike 40 Greyknights on turn 2 in the enemies face.

Going to use the two psyflemen dread to demech on turn one for something for the strikes to shoot at, and demech more on turn two so that i have potentially 4 tanks opened up for the 40 strikes to shoot at.

Probably only gonna get a 1.5ish for comp, so I really need to win 5 games with the list to place.
