Standar rules:
700 points armeis (1 good,1 evil)
All Lome rules followed expect if it is stated that the rule is changed...
I think a world championship exists... :)

1. Look for threads discussing each tournament, the participants may have lists of some tournament specific rulings etc that are not in the WOTR FAQ. Otherwise, I think 1500pts and the full mix of missions, deployments, is what they do.

However

2. Tournament participants are sometimes quite amped by the whole thing and want it to matter a great deal. GW (and other companies) also like to talk things up with impressive titles (you know, in the same way people have job titles like 'executive assistant' or are CEOs of firms with only a handful of staff). For any wargame, actual tournament participants are a minority and there generally isn't a structure, like in sports, where local competitions build up in levels to national/world ones. Most tournaments, and this is the case for all LOTR ones, are just opens where a few keen people get to self-select. Other wargames at least have annual rankings (over multiple tournaments) and qualifier systems for a 'Masters' - WOTR on the other hand is the reverse of that situation. If you are going to an event, I'd treat it like your local games with some new guys in a different venue. Only a minority turn up so it isn't any more representative of the total field than that. This kind of thing is fun but I wouldn't get too worried about it :)

They did try an 'Ard Boyz' format, including WOTR, where local tournaments qualified for a larger event but I am not sure how well established that became.

I am told at my local store that the WotR 'ard Boys is coming up on a month or two and that it is 2000 points.

In fact, the store had a WotR day today for everyone to practice their 2000 point lists. Just got back from it.

IIRC, that is the same points level as it was last time too. It was kind of an infamous set of events!

I'd love to see a formal tournament support for WotR in the US. Our local store has a good rep for running events in the area and has been an 'ard Boys qualifier for other systems with great turnout. It would be nice to do something formal like that for LotR again. Sadly I know we'll just have a plague of the cheeze armies but at least it's nice to draw in fresh players from around the area that may not travel for a 'friendly' game but will come a couple hours for something like this.
