How many points does a bye get per round in an escalation tournament?

FFG escalation rules say 150 points, I do not believe that is correct, since you can only get 120 points the 1st round.

There aren't any rules out there for byes in escalation tournaments. But in standard tournaments a bye is worth 1/2 of the best possible MoV. 150 out of a possible 200. So if the best you can get is 120 in the 1st round a bye would be worth 110.

But then the value of the bye would go up each round as more points is added. So I'd say always use half the max MoV for that round.

Giving 110 out of a possible 120 would be like giving 183 of 200 for a standard match.

In a standard tournament, 150 is 75% of max MOV 200. For Escalation levels of 60, 90, 120, and 150, the max MOVs are 120, 180, 240, and 300.

A first round BYE in each level should offer MOVs of 90, 135, 180 and 225.

Wait a sec. The OP is correct that the Escalation rules currently say 150 - which would be unfair for a 120 max MOV.

I agree with your MoVs. I was just going by what the FFG escalation rules say.

You're right my math was off, but the point still stands, if the bye's MoV is supposed to be 75% then make it 75% of whatever point value that round has.

FFG should update that document to reflect the correct amount for each stage.

I don't have them in front of me, so can't check, but don't the escalation tournament rules also say to take a score of 100 and add (or subtract) the difference between kills to work out your MoV.

So in the first 60 point round that would be a max. MoV of 160 and a minimum MoV of 40 for a full 60-0 win.

No it says to add margin of victory to the available squad points
