In a steamroller event, would racking spells be done on death clock? Will defenses be placed on death clock?
I know i can do what ever i want in my own events, but i just want to know the developers intent. These steps take some time to preform. Doing them off clock means each round will become longer. Doing them on clock means its even harder to finish 7 turns without clocking.
Defenses are terrain, and terrain is very unambiguously placed before the game, or even before anybody deploys any models. 
The āDefensesā rule on Defenses explains this.
The only timing I can find regarding racking is this:
It seems eminently sensible to answer your timing question here as āthis happens while people are shuffling around between tables and deploying their models and whatever.ā
Thereās a pretty limited selection of rack spells in any given army, and honestly, Iād be surprised if the choices would change all that much. I think youāre going to decide on your picks essentially immediately once you see the other personās lists.
This does not strike me as something that is going to meaningfully impact the event length at all.
(I admit that I did not exhaustively recheck the Steamroller document, only because I have no text search functionality in the app. Itās possible that Steamroller touches on this in an oblique way somewhere or in a nook or cranny I didnāt check.)
Thank you for finding that! I was sure that reference existed, but I couldnāt find it when I checked!
In the Steamroller document - it says you have to put your Rack Spells on your Force list and canāt change them. Does this over ride the rule book?
Bulldog has previously clarified that you choose spells per game they are not locked in for the full event Defenses & tournament play - are they locked in the list? - #5 by Prossan
