The Champions League

Hi friends,
We've all had some friendly one off games, and I think it'll be fun if we had a bit of a tourney running. So i propose 'the champions league'!

Okay, here's how it'll work.
+ The tournament will work in two stages. The first is the league stage and the second the Finals!
+ Each player will get one game against a fellow competitor. So since we only potentially have 4 players (Dylan, Kelvin, Junx and I), there will be a total of 6 games in the league stage. If you're wondering about Sean, he's gone on o levels tour of duty and won't be active for about 3 months.
+ Each victory will give you 3 points, a draw will give both sides 1 point, and a loss (obviously) will give you no points. It doesn't matter if it's a massacre or a minor victory, it'll still count as a victory.
+ Victory points for and against will be recorded in case of a draw in points; so a massacre or a minor victory will have some consequence (albeit minor).
+ The two players with the most points will get to play in the FINALS and for the prize...

Prize? I hear you say...
Yes, the winner will get to pick a Band D or E blister pack, courtesy of the losing parties. It'll come up to about $8 each... so I think it won't hurt that much, but it'll bring a bit more excitement than just bragging rights...

Here are the details.
+ Each army will consist of 2,000 pts. This list is PERMANENT throughout the league stage. When you write your army lists, do not include magical items for characters (also champions for High Elves), magical banners (regiments or BSB) and so forth. It's pure model points along with any mundane weapons.
+ Each army will get an ADDITIONAL Flexi 250 pts. Flexi means that this additional points can be changed from game to game. This points is actually for magical items, but if you cannot finish using this 250 points, you can use any remainder for the odd spearman, or unit upgrade (musicians/banner), or even a brand new unit, if you scrimp on the magic items. But remember that you have no magic items in your original 2K list... This rule allows a bit of flexibility and makes our games 2250 pts.
+ After you write a 2k army list, please submit it to me and I will do the points calculations. The additional 250 points is only added at just before gametime.
+ To encourage a more balanced and exciting game, random scenarios will be generated with a roll of a D6 on the table below, before the battle after the additional 250 pts are submitted to the Arbiter.
1-3: Pitched Battle
4: Flank Attack
5: Meeting Engagement
6: Capture

+ The attacker and defender will be decided randomly.

THE FINALS!
+ The top two players in the league stages will get to compete in the Finals
+ Finals game will be a 3K mega battle!
+ Yes, we're not games workshop, we can always proxy.
+ Winner takes the prize, the bragging rights, and thunderous applause from the other 3 guys!

Okay. If you guys think the above is fine, please let me know.
Also, if you want any other details modified or added.
Also, if you want to take part...

After this tourney, we'll switch to some 40k...

I have some qns:

1.What about magic Items for Units?Is this included in the initial 2k or not?

2.Will the army lists be made available after they are submitted? (minus magic items)Cos otherwise Jason will get to see all the lists and that is a bit of unfair advantage.

3.Character Names should be made compulsory.

4.Maybe we can used the advanced deployment rules.. The one in one of the issues of white dwarf.. it makes the whole strategy aspect more interesting.

That's all junx has.
