Warcry Rumble Pack
The Warcry Rumble pack is a Matched Play event published on Warhammer Community. Since it's release it has been used as the basis of several large tournaments, and also include details on how to create and run the event at a local level. The complete PDF can be found here.
Games
Each player plays three games, each lasting up to one hour. Everyone's first opponent will be randomly allocated, and after that, each player is matched against an opponent on a similar tournament score. Once a game is done, ask your players to fill in a results card and hand it in to event staff.
Results
After each game, players need to report the result of the game, as either a win, a draw or a loss for each player. These results will determine how many Tournament points each player gains over the course of the tournament, which will determine final ranking at the end of the event. In addition, players also need to report their total victory points and kill point total after each game, which are used as secondary scores to differentiate between players with an identical Tournament point total.
Win = 5 Tournament points
Draw = 3 Tournament points
Loss = 1 Tournament point
The first tie-breaker after Tournament points will be victory points, which are scored during games. Ask players to report their total victory points along with their game result.
The final tie-breaker will be a kill point total. At the end of each game, ask players to record the total points value of enemy fighters that are taken down. This total is their kill point total.
Battleplans
Loot And Pillage
Victory Condition
A cache of useful supplies sits abandoned by its absent owners, piled high and yours for the taking. Any moral reservations in so doing must be put aside, for in the Gnarlwood, every resource must be exploited.
Before the battle, 3 objectives are placed on the battlefield floor as shown on the deployment map. A fighter within 1" of an objective can loot that objective as an action. If they do, that fighter is now carrying treasure and cannot use an action to drop that treasure. If a fighter that cannot carry treasure loots an objective, that fighter immediately drops that treasure as a bonus action. After a second loot action is made within 1" of an objective, remove that objective from the battlefield.
The battle ends after 4 battle rounds. When the battle ends, each player scores 2 victory points for each friendly fighter that is carrying treasure. The player with the most victory points wins the battle. Any other result is a draw.

If they do so, that player scores 2 victory points and removes that objective from the battlefield.

Sidequests
After determining which matched battleplan will be used, the organiser will roll a dice to generate a sidequest from those listed below for that battle. Sidequests are ways of scoring victory points in addition to the victory condition of that matched battleplan and will greatly help determine who wins the battle.
1 - Strong-Arm The Competition
Only the strongest will prosper in the Gnarlwood.
At the end of each battle round, each player totals the Wounds characteristics of the fighters in their warband that are within 3" of the centre of the battlefield. The player with the highest total scores 3 victory points.
2 - Run Interference
Under the right lens, failure of the enemy can be counted as a success for your forces.
At the end of each battle round, score 3 victory points if your warband controls an objective your opponent controlled at the start of that battle round or one or more enemy fighters dropped one or more treasure tokens during that battle round.
3 - Stolen Wares
Few things in life are better than a pile of treasure just waiting to be appropriated.
After the first initiative phase, starting with the player that does not have the initiative, players alternate placing treasure tokens until 3 treasure tokens have been placed. Each treasure token must be placed on the battlefield floor, within 3" of the centre of the battlefield, and more than 2" from each other treasure token.
When the battle ends, each player scores 2 victory points for each friendly fighter that is carrying treasure (in addition to any victory points awarded by the battleplan).
4 - Predator And Prey
A curse hangs heavy over this battlefield, causing some warriors to become feral and skittish, whilst simultaneously making their enemies fixate on the afflicted fighters to the near exclusion of all else.
After each initiative phase, starting with the player who has the initiative, each player picks 1 enemy fighter. At the end of that battle round, if that enemy fighter is taken down, is within 3" of an objective, or is carrying treasure, the player that picked that fighter scores 2 victory points.
5 - Conquering The Land
Taming Ghur is all but impossible but in the name of the gods it is your duty to try!
At the end of each battle round, score 1 victory point for each quarter of the battlefield that has 1 or more friendly fighters wholly within it.
6 - An Early Grave
The enemy are led by a fell champion. Act quickly and deliver their demise!
At the end of each battle round, score x victory points if an enemy leader was taken down in that battle round. Subtract the battle round number from 6 to determine x.
