==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. Each Event Outline has a unique title for identification. Some FFG OP products have
more than one Event Outline, offering Tournament Organizers the choice of which to use. An
Event Outline includes:
* Instructions for distribution of the FFG prize product
* The tier of the event
* The event’s tournament structure (if it uses one)
* Requirements for roles to be fulfilled
* Description of the utilized variant rules (if applicable)

===Official===
Official events are those which have an Event Outline published by FFG OP. This includes
seasonal Open Play Nights, premium seasonal events, [[Store Championships|store championships]], [[Prime Championships|prime championships]], [[Grand Championships|grand championships]], and more.

===Unofficial===
Unofficial events are those without an Event Outline. This includes events which are not
utilizing an FFG OP product and events that are utilizing a non-championship FFG OP product
without an Event Outline. FFG strongly recommends that Tournament Organizers of unofficial
events communicate a tournament’s details to participants by utilizing the tournament tiers and
structures defined in this document.
