Meeting Location/Time
We will regularly be meeting at Giga-Bites 6PM-10PM on Wednesdays. If I am able, I will be up there earlier than that to have tables set up and to help anyone needing list building assistance. If you can’t make the regular meetup time, you are able to report results up until the following meet up if you can schedule another day. You may also schedule games via Tabletop Simulator if you cannot regularly make it to Infinity night on Wednesdays.
Sign Up, Communication, and Reporting
Sign ups and Reporting will be handled digitally via the QR codes in the rules doc or the URLs below. James H will cross post all league communications in the Tabletop Gaming: Atlanta Infinity FB group and the Atlanta Infinity Discord. If you need invitations to any or all of those groups, let one of us know.

Cost & Support
There will be a $10 entry fee for the league. The entirety of this fee is going toward prize support. Additionally, participation in the league will get you 10% off on Infinity products throughout the league. We’ll be taking wishlists at the beginning of the league as well - be sure to give your number for purchase tracking and the Loyalist achievement whenever you grab stuff at the store.
Painting
There is no painting requirement for this league. It is highly encouraged that you paint your models, particularly LOS markers. There will also be achievements tied to painting.
Escalation League Rules
Choose your vanilla or sectorial faction before you play your first league game. You must use the same vanilla or sectorial faction for the duration of the league.
Missions:
The missions being used are the official Corvus Belli ITS 13 missions (found here: shorturl.at/bmwM4). I highly recommend grabbing the Comlog app, which has all the missions pre-loaded.
Scoring:
The winner of the league will be determined by a modified tournament scoring designed to encourage playing more games, but not simply giving an advantage for having more time to play.
Your first game each week will be worth: 4pts for a win, 3pts for a draw, 1pts for a loss. Each additional game against a different opponent 2pts for a win, 1pts for a draw, and 0pt for a loss. You can also earn additional points across the course of the league by completing achievements aimed to challenge your list building and strategic thinking. Completing sets of these achievements will grant you points based on the difficulty of the challenges.
Escalation League Guidelines
This is a casual league format. As such, please refrain from using highly competitive, tournament-style army lists unless you have the consent of your opponent. For example, I would discourage someone playing a beginner with an all-camo list or two TAG list.
If you and your opponent wish to play a different mission or with more or less rules active each week, this is perfectly fine for league scoring. However, you should bring a list of the appropriate points with active rules in mind for each meetup to keep everyone on the same page.
If you and your opponent wish to play a different mission rule set (TACO MK2, for example), this is perfectly fine for league scoring.
