As a result, the overall winner of the NOVA Open is determined by equal parts artistic and competitive score. The highest score wins Renaissance Man (Best Overall) .  \nAwards and recognition may be given at random for exceptional sportsmanship. Players may be penalized or disqualified entirely for poor sportsmanship.  \nThe Grand Tournament’s awards are:  \n• Renaissance Man (Best Overall)  \n• Tournament Champion (Winner of the first tournament bracket)  \n• Battlemaster (Highest Battle Points)  \n• Virtuoso (Best Army Artist)  \n• 2 Hobby Aces (Best Army Artist runners up)  \n• Bracket Champions (Undefeated in the bracketed portion of the event)  \nAfter round 4, the field will be split into brackets based on their performance. Players who go undefeated in the bracketed portion of the event are considered Bracket Champions. This system leads to better matchups and gives players with more casual interests or less powerful lists the opportunity to compete with their peers.  \nArmies will be judged on appearance and artistry by roaming judges. After the first round of paint judging is complete, the top cut of armies will be asked to participate in the Army Showcase on Saturday evening. Players who are selected will be asked to set up their army displays in a designated area after Round 6 on Saturday, and a second round of detailed paint judging will take place to determine the final scores. This is also a great time for attendees to come view the fantastic hobby work their fellow attendees have done.  \nPaint and Model Policies  \nBattle Ready  \nArmies must be fully painted and based, and must make a good faith effort to meet or exceed the Games Workshop Battle Ready standard and should be cohesive. Failure to make a good faith effort to meet the requirement will result in a 0 on your appearance score and possible competitive penalties. Incomplete models may be removed from your army without the option to amend your list until they are finished. Armies with half or more models incomplete will forfeit all games until you complete painting. The NOVA Open provides a fully-stocked Hobby Haven to assist players who did not complete their armies. For any questions, email [customerservice@novaopen.com](customerservice@novaopen.com) in advance of the event.  \nBasing Your Models  \nModels must be played on the current base size provided with the model. Exceptions may be made for “rule of cool” scenic basing. See Alternative Models policy below.  \nWYSIWYG  \nModels should be What You See Is What You Get. Wargear is built in to the unit costs now, so field what they’re modeled with.  \nConversion, Counts-as, and Proxies (“Alternative Models”)  \nYou must seek permission from the Referees before the convention for all alternative models. Failure to do so may result in the models being removed from play. Email photos of the models you would like to use to [customerservice@novaopen.com](customerservice@novaopen.com) before the event, and be sure to specify which units you would like to use them to represent.  \nAlternative models must be clearly representative of the model they are intended to replace and must be easily visually differentiated from other units in your army by your opponent without an excessive amount of additional props, visual aids, or explanation.  \nDuring play you may not gain any benefits from any alternative models (“modeling for advantage”), ","cbCaigchJalSZnyv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigchJalSZnyv","pdf",367127,"English","# Tournament Schedule and Format\n## Friday, 9/1\n## Saturday, 9/2\n## Sunday, 9/3\n# Awards and Scoring\n## Overall Winner Determination\n## Grand Tournament Awards\n# Paint and Model Policies\n## Battle Ready\n## Basing Your Models\n## WYSIWYG\n## Conversion, Counts-as, and Proxies (Alternative Models)\n# Event Policies\n## Referees and Rulings\n## Rule Sources and Mission Cards\n## Player Conduct and Expectations","[{\"question\":\"How is the overall winner determined at the NOVA Open Grand Tournament?\",\"answer\":\"The overall winner is determined by equal parts artistic and competitive score, with the highest total score winning the Renaissance Man (Best Overall).\"},{\"question\":\"What are the requirements for armies under the Battle Ready policy?\",\"answer\":\"Armies must be fully painted and based, making a good faith effort to meet the Games Workshop Battle Ready standard and be cohesive.
