COST:
$20, additional $10 for non-NAF members going towards NAF membership sign-up.
Pre-register

TOURNAMENT:
6-games of Blood Bowl being played over two days (4 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday). Swiss-style match-ups after game 1. With the famed SKILLS DRAFT after game 3. Tournament points are W/T/L - 3/1/0

TEAM BUILD:
1.1mil team build to start. Each coach must purchase a minimum of 11 players. You may also purchase re-rolls, fan factor, assistant coaches, cheerleaders and apothecaries. No skills or stat increases of any kind may be purchased.

INDUCEMENTS
No inducements may be purchased unless you are the coach of a “Stunty” team. Stunty teams include; Halfling, Goblin, Ogre and Underworld (without Skaven), and Lizardmen (without Saurus) teams. Stunty teams may purchase 0-1 Star Players, but must purchase 11 players before they can purchase any Star Player. Goblin teams may purchase bribes and Halfling teams may purchase a Halfling Master Chef, all as per standard CRP/LRB6.0 rules.

TEAM IMPROVEMENTS
Each team may choose between one of two skills packages after team creation. You may choose either:
• 5 regular skills
or:
• 2 regular skills + 2 doubles skills

As well, to promote race diversity, certain races are given additional skills. The following races get additional skills as listed:

• Chaos, Chaos Pact, High Elves, Elves, Humans, Khemri, Nurgle, Slann: 1 additional regular skill
• Halflings, Goblins, Ogres, Vampires, Underworld: 1 additional regular skill + 1 additional doubles skill

There is a 0-2 cap on any skill during team creation, meaning no skill may be taken more than twice during the team creation stage. As well, no player may receive more than one skill upgrade during team creation.

More information to follow...

NAF CANADA website will be updated with this information, and a finalized ruleset will be posted. Check it out here http://nafcanada.ca/ once it is updated.

Skills Draft

After the third game, there will be a skills draft where coaches may select new skills/improvements. A coach may only select improvements which are accessible to their race through standard skill selection (ie normal, doubles or stat increase rolls on the improvement table). No player may gain more than two skills/improvements during the tournament.

Each coach will be given 45 seconds to pick a skill/improvement. If the coach does not pick within that time, they lose their spot and the next coach picks. The coach will get to pick a skill at the end of the round rather than at their selection time. Each coach may pick one skill/improvement per round. There will be four rounds in the draft; therefore each coach will select four skills/improvements.

The draft order will be seeded by tournament position at the end of play after the third game. Only tournament points from gaming will be used to determine ranking. The team with the lowest ranking will pick first and the other coaches will follow in reverse ranking order, i.e. first place will chose last, and last place will chose first in each and every round. The draft order will be the same for each round.

For each 12 players, or part thereof, there will be one full set of skills and improvements available for the draft. Because of the limited number of skills available during the draft, the lower ranked coaches will have a better chance to select the more sought after skills, (i.e. stat increases, block, dodge, guard), while the higher ranked coaches will be forced to choose less common skills. The result of this will hopefully give the lower ranked coaches a chance to make their way back up the ranks, and also result in less common skills combinations being selected.

The German is more prepared for Ottawa weather than the Canadians. For shame, for shame... Come one, come all, and bring your winter boots. All I can say is we are not Buffalo, and if we were, we would probably still go to work. Wink
Sounds good to me, Grant.

Shitty dude. Your antics will be missed. Atleast send some other Montreals this way so we can beat on them in your absence.

I think Hickling mentioned he was expecting you to stay at his place, but I may be mistaken. I will double check. If not, you can crash here, likely on the floor.

@Manz62: You guys are welcome to crash at my place. Will you be going directly to the tournament on Saturday, or would you like to stop by my place first? Either is fine with me.

The new season of Blood Bowl tournaments in under way in the region, and with that CCKO is in the books. A huge thank you to all that came out and supported the tournament, and even helped the TO who was in total disarray at moments. The competition was pretty intense, but in the end GRANT HALLAS left no doubt as he won the CCKO and took home the title of tournament champion. Full rankings to follow.

As well, the tournament will be counted towards the new NAF sanctioned and supported Tournament Series, and with that the resurrection after a one year hiatus of the EAST COAST GRAND PRIX. I will post a link to the thread/tracker so people can see how they do each year.

Again, thank you to all who attended. And hope to see everyone at Dagger Bowl or Canadian Open.

Thanks for making the trip Grant, more the merrier next time. Ironically, I had the exact same experience, but completely opposite.
I will be there, the Epic Iron Chefs are coming back to defend their Stunty Cup title.

Results are entered.
