2025 PRE-Nats 1 / LSNZ OPEN

SILVERDALE

ZLTAC Meets LSNZ Open! We figured why not combine the events. This means prenats will also feature a full set of LSNZ side events, and the teams event will also have the title of LSNZ Open on the line.

Rules

all events will be played on ZLTAC rules unless otherwise specified

Competition regulations

Competition rulebook

All rules and regulations

In New Zealand, rule 2.2.8.3 of the competition rulebook, regarding shooting the base from outside, is amended to allow taking the base while partially outside the base. This means only part of your body needs to be in the base, rather than being completely inside. You still can’t take the base from miles away. We don’t expect there to be any issues, as the outside shots are quite difficult and not very useful, but we will re-evaluate after prenats-1.

FAQ

What does combining with NZ open mean?

Basically it just means we’re doing an extra day of sides before the main event. The teams event will be exactly like a normal prenats, except the LSNZ Open shield will be on the line. The side events will be the LSNZ versions of Solos, Doubles, and Triples.

What system is this on?

Prenats 1, Prenats 2, and ZLTAC will all be on Helios Pro.

I heard NZ plays a lot of Worlds settings. How will this affect prenats?

The teams event will be identical to ZLTAC, sides will be slightly different, most noticably solos will be played on 1 shot per second with stuns. We use the ZLTAC rulebook for everything. Nothing will use trigger lockout.

What flights should I get? 
Going home, any flight on Sunday should be fine (Note we may be playing after midnight on Saturday).

Playing sides? Try to arrive on Wednesday night, but any flight arriving before 12pm (noon) on Thursday will be fine.

Playing teams only? Try to arrive on Thursday night, but any flight arriving before 12pm (noon) on Friday will be fine.

You can safely book flights knowing that we wont change the schedule so much to invalidate the above advice.
