This topic is for the general Q&A (in English) regarding the French Open 2011.

Hi guys!

This is a preliminary annoucement for the French Open Tournament 2011, which will be held on July 9/10 in Lyon.

Some general info:

• The tournament format will be based on SR 2011.
• 42 players max. In case of international attendance, the tournament official language will be English.
• Three 50-pt games with 3 different lists on Saturday, three 35-pt games with 3 different lists on Sunday.

Hi! Im very interested in this tournament. But some things are not clear.

No Caster Kill victory condition, no Caster Kill tie breaker. How is this possible?

It's one of the possible options of the SR2011 rule set.
It means there's no use in killing the caster to finish the game. the game will go on anyway till completion of the scenario given.

The major way to win a game is through scenario, either via victory conditions or tie breaker. Attrition comes next. Games are played until one player wins by scenario or until dice down. I will probably make an FAQ out of it as I received TONS of comments on international forums
