2021 ITC Code of Conduct Updated: Just be Nice
This is just a good way to approach all your games, just stick to the spirit of having fun, being friendly, and being a good sport. If you do, you should always have some fun games.
These shouldn’t be an issue, but we’ve seen some issues lately with this set of rules. Three interesting things though, if you report an opponent for not giving you a mulligan, that’s a foul on you.
If you touch your minis after moving them, without announcing why can get you a red card, hopefully, this stops people from moving their minis slightly closer. Lastly, if you keep rolling out of sight of your opponent, that’s a card.
We love this change because it just keeps everyone honest.
Bring Correct Lists
If you don’t lay out your list correctly, you will be given a yellow card and a 20 point penalty. If you play a game with an incorrect list, you are DQ’d and given a red card. This is good in the sense that it will force people to pay more attention to their lists.

We’ve all seen someone right before a game, be like, oh yeah, this guy has this. If you do that now, penalty.
Decorum & Tools
Look, if you cuss or mock your opponent in a mean way, you deserve a penalty. There’s absolutely no reason to be mean! Also, there are big penalties for Angle Shooting, as there should be. This is a great way for more experienced players to not take advantage of inexperienced players by leading them to bad decisions on the sly…
Just bring easy-to-read dice, don’t bring the hardest-to-read dice on earth. This just makes it so much easier for everyone.
Cards
The card system is pretty self-explanatory but good to know nonetheless.
