The 21st Bayou Battles is a momentous event. No one back in 2003 would have guessed that this tournament would still be around 2+ decades later! We want to thank all those that have supported this event over the years.Should Bayou once again fill up to 32 players by middle of December, we will once again have a Bayou pint glass for everyone! It is only appropriate, since this tournament is now old enough to drink!

 

What in the World Cup?!
We have had a LOT of positive feedback on our World Cup style format over the past 4 years, and the United States will be hosting the next quadrennial event in 2026! Hopefully you watched and experienced the thrill of the first round of group games and qualification to the next round from past World Cups. Our unique event mimics this fantastic format!

Here are a few of the high points, but see the additional pages for more details on the event:

• Limited to 32 Players, expandable to 40 with enough interest
• 6 games over 2 days (4 Saturday, 2 on Sunday)
• 3 games of round-robin Group play in the first stage
• 3 games in the second “Bracket” Stage
• 2100 point army size, but with 1995 army composition rules (max 2 duplicates)
• Optional choice of two 500 point sideboards
• Free Soccer Special Character—several options to choose from! 
• Soft scores (sportsmanship and army appearance) are still a very important part of the event!
