Event Outline

FFG OP designs events and products to create a memorable experience for the intended player community. An Event Outline provides the guidance necessary to run an event that delivers that experience.

Instructions for distribution of the FFG prize product
The tier of the event
The event’s tournament structure (if it uses one)
