TMP Tourney Rules

By Skowza, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Maybe this was already discussed and I missed it, but I just noticed that pg.7 of the Tourney Rules says:

"If, through a card effect, a player 'cannot win the game' he cannot be awarded a win or modified win for that match"

which was not in the old tourney rules and it means that a player using TMP can no longer get a modified win after the game goes to time if he/she still has Chains on the Agenda. Mostly just posting this so it doesn't get missed in regionals, we've already had ours but we would have ruled TMP modified win like it has been in the past had that situation occurred. Like I said though, maybe everyone else saw this right away and its common knowledge at this point.
And props to whoever at FFG slipped that little gem in, TMP modified win was BS.

They actually "slipped" that in a year ago. The "best result is a draw" rule for TMP was there by Gencon 2012, if not the entire 2012 regional season.
