The Northeast Blood Bowl Network (NEBBN) Tournament Series runs from January 1st to December 31st and is intended to promote travel and greater participation in Blood Bowl Events throughout Upstate New York and the New England states. In 2023, tournaments are already planned in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. The hope is to reach further into New England with tournaments in Vermont and Maine as well while encouraging NAF coaches to attend multiple events.
Simplified Rules for Participants:
Coaches will receive points for placements and the number of attended tournaments. To be eligible coaches must be NAF members prior to event attendance. Scores are tracked by the series organizers and the coaches can receive honors and awards based on their overall performance.
Rules for Tournament Organizers:
This is an open series and tournaments in New England and Upstate New York may be added if they are NAF approved and registered with the series coordinator before kick-off. The intent will be to prevent competition from tournament to tournament while encouraging travel and overall attendance. Once the tournament is completed, results should be reported to the NAF as normal and submitted to the series coordinators in an electronic format within 14 days. Excel is preferred. The following information is required for each match:
1. Coach Name, NAF ID and Number
2. Coach Record (W/D/L)
3. Race played with names of Stars included/or none for not included
4. TDs (for and against for each game)
5. Casualties (for and against each game)
6. Scoring for all attendees using the scoring system for the event
Note that any non-classic Stunty teams should be explicitly mentioned to the tournament organizer (e.g., Lizardmen without Saurus and Underworld without Skaven) so that it can be shared with the TS.
Scoring Details:
Coaches are only eligible for points if they are NAF members prior to attending an event. Rankings will be created from earning points with placement during tournament events and bonus points for attending multiple events and/or organizing events. Please note that all scoring will be driven by pure NAF results. If a TO “shares the wealth” at an event, that does not happen in the tournament series standings. Most Touchdowns is the highest Mathematical number at the event even if that person was also the event champion.
There will be three sets of rankings which will be tracked: Main Rankings, Stunty Rankings, and Achievement Rankings. Each of these has an individual score that will be tracked by coach.
Main Scoring Details:
Each coach’s Main Score will be determined as the maximum point total from their best 4 tournament finishes plus their Organizer bonus (Maximum of 2 points per year).
For each event attended, Base+Placement+Round=Main
Base points will be given to each participant based on the event’s total NAF attendance and their individual placement in the event.
• 0-10 attendees: +1
• 11-20 attendees: [1-10] = +2, [11-20] = +1
• 21-30 attendees: [1-10] = +3, [11-20] = +2, [21-30] = +1
• 31-40 attendees: [1-10] = +4, [11-20] = +3, [21-30] = +2, [31-40] = +1
Placement points will be awarded to the top 10 finishers in each event. The first-place coach will be awarded 10 points, the second-place coach 9 points, and so on until the 10th-place finisher is awarded 1 point. For team events the higher of your team or individual placement will be used.
Round points will be added based on the variant.
• Classic, Blood Bowl, Dungeon Bowl, Deathbowl 7’s: 1-3 rounds +1, 4+ rounds +2, 7+ rounds +3
• Sevens, Beachbowl, Streetbowl: 1-4 rounds +0, 5+ rounds +1, 10+ rounds +2
• Deathbowl: 1-3 rounds +2, 4+ rounds +4
The above gets you each coach’s Main Score for an event. For example, if Steve wins a 3 round Blood Bowl tournament with 15 NAF coaches attending, Steve will get 13 points for that event (10 for the first place finish, 1 for the 3 rounds of Blood Bowl, and 2 base points).
Organizer points will be added to the sum of each coach’s highest four finishes. NEBBN relies on the efforts and dedication of its tournament organizers to succeed. Each year, TOs are eligible for a maximum of two additional points (remember they are often also the odd-man-out).
• Run an event with 2-10 attendees +1
• Run an event with 12+ attendees +2
For example, Sarah runs an event with 8 attendees and attends 6 NEBBN events in 2023. Her Main Score for each event attended was 4, 12, 10, 6, 6, and 9. Her Main Score for the year would be 12+10+9+6+1=38 points.
Stunty Scoring Details:
There will be an additional, separate scoring for stunty teams, which includes Goblin, Halflings, Snotlings and Ogre teams, as well as Lizardmen without Saurus and Underworld without Skaven.
The Stunty rankings will consider each coach’s score determined as the maximum point total from their best 4 tournaments while playing a stunty team. The same method as main scoring will be utilized; however, organizer bonus points are not eligible for Stunty Rankings.
Achievement Scoring Details:
Achievement Scoring is separate from the main scoring. They do not count towards those ranks.
Attendance:
1. Attend 3-5 NEBBN tournaments (1 point)
2. Attend 6+ NEBBN tournaments (1 point)
Organizer: (maximum 2 points)
1. Organize a NEBBN tournament with 2-9 attendees (1 point)
2. Organize a NEBBN tournament with 10+ attendees (2 points)
Races:
1. Play in a NEBBN tournament with at least 3 different races (1 point)
2. Play in a NEBBN tournament with at least 6 different races (1 point)
Stunty:
1. Play in 3 NEBBN tournaments as Stunty (1 point)
2. Play in a NEBBN tournament as three different stunty races (1 point)
Awards:
1. Win Best Offense in a NEBBN tournament (1 point)
2. Win Best Defense in a NEBBN tournament (1 point)
3. Win Most Casualties in a NEBBN tournament (1 point)
4. Win a Stunty Cup in a NEBBN tournament (1 point)
5. Win a Best Painted Award in a NEBBN tournament (1 point)
6. Win a Wooden Spoon in a NEBBN tournament (1 point)
Travel:
1. Play tournaments in 3 different cities outside NEBBN area (1 point)
2. Play tournaments in 2 different countries including USA/NEBBN (1 point)
Johnny attends and plays in 6 NEBBN tournaments with 3 different races (one of which is stunty) and also organizes 6 events (attendance 8,14,4,20,8,16). He also travels to Chaos Cup in Orlando and the World Cup in Alicante, Spain. Over the course of the year, he won two Most Casualties awards, a Wooden Spoon, and a Best Defense at NEBBN events. His Achievement Score would be 2 (attendance) + 2 (organizer) + 1 (races) + 0 (stunty) + 4 (awards) + 1 (travel) = 10. |
