Stupid question sorry: would a snotling with his head between his legs count as not standing?

It's not about where his head is :) If he's standing then it wouldn't count.

Never-minding the league name, I suppose models can be plastics, lead, pewter, or resin?


Speaking of resin I have lots of Squadrons of 5 and even 6 in resin. However they are mostly tanks and ships, and maybe a few things that get flight stands. Approximately 2mm scale. (1:900 or so.) Are those kinds of things out of bounds or eligible?

Yes, whatever you like.

According to the rules "any scale up to 54mm" is allowed.

Now I might be missing the obvious , given the Forum title LEAD adventure, but are plastic figs ( ie Perry, warlord, et al) eligible for LPL entries?

Who makes plastic Warlord miniatures?  Most of them are metal minis... ...except the ones Reaper converted to 'Bones' plastic?

Apologies if I've missed a clarification on this. One thing I'm not sure on is how matched pairings are decided after Round 1.

I understand we'll be randomly paired for Round 1, but is it Swiss chess (or a variation thereof) afterwards?

It's random all the way through, with a bit of manual adjustment to make sure there are as few glaring mismatches as possible. Towards the latter stages of the league, the leading contenders are pitted against each other if they haven't already met in the earlier stages. Apart from that, it's the luck of the draw.

Actually, I am wrong. The Prof will indeed be using a Swiss Pairing System for the matches in this LPL, based on a fiendishly clever algorithm devised by Westfalia Chris. So should be interesting!

Yes, the first round pairings are completely random and beginning with the Round Two we will be using Chris' algorithm based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss-system_tournament
