Other Awards

As has become traditional at ManorCon, an award was given for each nationality from which a player was present. The recipients of awards were selected by the players in attendance from that nation.

Most French player (who is not actually French) Dan Lester For attacking all his neighbours in turn, and still managing to end up with a solid position.
Tournament Director's Award David Wigglesworth For getting 1 centre in a 17-16-1, and therefore getting the lowest possible score for a power in a draw at ManorCon

Outpost Genre

This tournament was for Outpost, Phoenicia and Das Zepter von Zavandor. The scoring system was designed to reward those who played more than one title. Just seven games (1 Outpost, 3 Phoenicia, 3 Zavandor) were played, with only seven players taking part in more than one game. Victories in both his games allowed Luke Ellis to overcome the disadvantage of having played only Phoenicia. Had it not done so, the tournament director would have had to disqualify himself.
