The venue is easily accessible by public transport, so anywhere in the city should be fine. You can use http://www.ruter.no/en to quickly check all types of public transport from the hotel you choose.
The rules
Oslo Open is played with the Competition Rules Pack (CRP), provided by the NAF. They include rules for the three extra teams Slann, Underworld and Chaos Pact.
The current CRP can be downloaded at http://bit.ly/thenafcrp
Note that following the recent release of Blood Bowl in 2016, the NAF rules for tournaments was updated on 1. Feb 2017. These updates can be downloaded at http://bit.ly/rft2017
We play according to the resurrection style of play. All coaches start each game with the same roster and all skills they registered before the tournament. There are no permanent deaths, and no Star Player Points will be awarded during the tournaments.
Illegal procedures will not be called throughout the tournament.
Team building
Each coach build their team with a treasury consisting of 1,100,000 gold crowns.
Note that this is 100k more than you normally get when making your team in Blood Bowl.
Inducements
Inducements are only available to tier 3 teams, with the following restrictions:
All tier 3 teams can buy 0-2 Star Players, but must have at least 11 regular players before doing so.
Goblins may buy 0-3 bribes
Halflings may buy 0-1 master chef
Starting skills
All skills will be chosen before the tournament and will stay the same for all matches throughout the tournament. See the tier chart below for information on how many and which type of skills your selected team can choose. These skills are free.
Additional skills
If you are coaching a tier 2 or tier 3 team, you get some extra gold. You may use some or all of this extra gold to buy even more skills.
Skills purchased in this way are priced as follows:
Normal skill: 20k
Double skill: 30k
Unused cash is added to the team treasury and can be spent building the team as normal.
You may not add more than one skill to a single player.
Stat upgrades are not allowed.
Tier 1
Tier 1 teams are the best of the best. They get 6 normal skills.
Wood Elf
Undead
Lizardmen
Skaven
Dwarf
Chaos Dwarf
Orcs
Dark Elf
Norse
Amazon
Tier 2
Tier 2 teams can be pretty good, but fail to perform as well as the tier 1 teams.
6 normal skills, 1 double skill and 20k extra cash may be able to fix this.
Chaos
Chaos Pact
Human
Khemri
Slann
Necromantic
High Elf
Elf
Nurgle
Tier 3
Tier 3 teams are hard to play, and are simply not as good as the others. They get 6 normal skills, 1 double skill and 50K extra cash to help bridge this gap, but it will still be an uphill climb.
Underworld
Halfling
Goblin
Ogre
Vampire
Keeping up with time
The 4 minute turn limit will not be specifically enforced throughout the tournament. Both players have an obligation to play as quickly as is needed to complete the game within the allotted time frame.
If a tournament official believes that a game will not be completed within the allotted time, the players will share the time left using a chess clock/app when there is 1 hour remaining.
Draw and Scoring
Draw for Round 1 will be random. Draw for subsequent rounds will use the so-called "swiss" system, where opponents with equal amounts of tournament points will be paired against each other.
Tournament Scoring
Tournament points will be awarded like this
3 points for a win
1 points for a draw
0 points for a loss
-15 points for conceding
Toughness of schedule will be used in the event of a tiebreaker situation followed by Touchdown differential, followed by casualties inflicted.
Prizes
Trophies/prizes will be awarded:
Oslo Open Winner
Runner Up
3rd Place
Most Touchdowns
Most Casualties
