Tournament Set-Up and Rules
  1. Participants should be assigned to boards to provide balance with respect to age and gender. Try to separate people who know each so they will not dominate a game.
2. The number of players assigned to each board should be as equal as possible in order to provide similar game experiences. For example, if there are 6 players, there should be two games of three players rather than one four-person game and one two-person game.
3. In the case of a three-person game, players should draw to determine their positions. The middle person then determines whether they would prefer to play the official 3-player "split camp" rules, or the Free Companies Variation (sometimes called the "Mercenary" Variation).
4. Players should draw pieces to determine who goes first. The person who draws the highest piece goes first and play proceeds clockwise.
5. Please note the following rules variation for Bosworth tournament play - When you capture an opponent's King, you are rewarded with any one of your previously captured pieces (your choice), rather than your opponent's Queen. All other rules remain the same
6. The number of players to advance to the final round depends on the number of players in the tournament. The goal is to have three or four players in the final round. For example, if there are eight players, the first and second place winners from each of the two first round games advance to the final round. If there are nine players, there would be three first round games and only the first place winner from each of these games would advance to the final round.
7. The order of finish is determined by the order in which players are eliminated from the final game. First place goes to the last surviving king; second place goes to the last king eliminated from the game; and third place goes to the second from the last king eliminated from the game.
8. Winners earn the respect of fellow Bosworth players worldwide for their wisdom, insight and cunning, and are expected uphold this honored position with grace and generosity.
   
Good Luck!
