As mentioned before, this is our 10th Grand Melee, and as always, we want to make it something special for all of you. A team tournament offers a lot of opportunities in this regard. On the one hand, we gained valuable experience organizing the SAGA Team World Cup 2023, and on the other hand, to the best of our knowledge, there has not yet been a comparable SAGA tournament of this size in Germany.
Another great advantage is that we can include a wide variety of scenarios. Even more unusual setups, such as river scenarios, can be featured, as we have enough rivers and bridges available for one player from each team to play on their own dedicated table.

Pairings – Scenario Pool – First Player
Team pairings will be determined using the Swiss system, with each team playing on two adjacent tables. For each round pairing, there will be a scenario pool consisting of three different scenarios. The lower-ranked team chooses the first scenario for one of the matchups. The higher-ranked team then selects one of the two remaining scenarios for the second matchup, leaving the final scenario for the remaining players. The team that did not choose a particular scenario determines the first player for that game, or may instead offer that right to the opposing team in exchange for a bid of 1–6 Victory Points.Best Painted Armies
As in previous years, we will once again award the most beautifully painted armies.Berserker of the Year
The team that eliminates the highest number of opposing Warlords over the course of the tournament will win this award.
