-----------------------------------------
THE BLOOD ORANGE V3 SCORING SYSTEM:
Win = 5,000 Tournament Points
Draw = 2,500 Tournament Points
Loss = 0 Tournament Points
Attrition directly translates into Tournament Points. For example, if Bill kills 1855 points of enemy units, he would receive 1855 TPs for attrition.
For the purposes of attrition, and thus Tournament Points, killing the enemy Blood Orange is worth 100 points.
Victory Points will also translate into additional Tournament Points. Each VP earned in game brings you 300 TP on the leaderboard. There will be 7 Victory Points available per game, for a maximum bonus of 2100 TPs.
For Example: If Billy wins a game by securing 4 Victory Points and killing 1560 points of enemy units, he would score 5000 + 1200 + 1560 = 7760 Tournament Points.
Ties in the leaderboard will be settled by the following:
Head to head result between the players
Total number of Victory Points
Victory Point margin
Number of Blood Oranges killed
Attrition margin
-----------------------------------------

Once per game, before rolling a nerve check for an enemy unit within 6" of your Blood Orange, you may choose to use the special pair of ORANGE FATE DICE for the nerve test.
If the enemy unit is Inspired, they may not benefit from it for this test. The first result stands.
