Blingtoof’s Gitbash is back for its third year. I’m thrilled to announce that the Gitbash will be taking place at HammerCon at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Another big change is that the Gitbash will be a one-day tournament of four games. These are very positive changes that I’m excited to announce. I’m personally moving to Ancaster (technically part of Hamilton) in July of 2013 so the locale needed to change regardless. Blingtoof’s GItbash is in early November so it just made sense to align with HammerCon.
REGISTRATION (UPDATED 30-AUG-2013)
HammerCon is providing us enough space for up to 20 participants. These will be made available on a first-come-first-served basis so pre-registering for HammerCon is highly advised! The first 20 coaches signed up for the event will be given slots to participate. If slots are still available the day of the event it will be first come, first served.
Hammercon now has their event registration integrated with their badge purchase interface. Make sure that you follow the steps below to secure a spot at the Gitbash:
Step 1: Purchase a Hammercon badge
In order to reserve yourself a spot you need to purchase a badge that gets you into Hammercon for Saturday. Please do consider attending the whole convention if you can as it's a great con but a Saturday-only badge will cost $25. Click on the link below to purchase a Hammercon badge:
http://www.hammercon.ca/register
Step 2: Register for the actual tournament
Once you've purchased your badge, you need to log into the Hammercon website and go to the actual event page for Blingtoof's Gitbash:
http://www.hammercon.ca/games/blingtoofs-gitbash-blood-bowl-tournament
You then need to scroll down and confirm that you have the value "Registered" in the "State" pull-down menu and that you then click on the yellow "Save Registration" button:
Once you have done this you should see your Hammercon login ID under the yellow "Save Registration" button in the list of registrants. If you are on the list below, you have successfully completed the above process.
1. genghis
2. andyinjapan
3. frostmane
4. fevin
5. Bobb81
6. Clan_Skaven
7. Peter_Meers
8. Kikurasis
9. cbaginski71
10. tlawson
11. Doomington AKA shiggerfragger for some damn reason
12. mellis1644
13. Stimme
BLINGTOOF AFTER-PARTY
Since Blingtoof’s Gitbash 3 is already at a pretty nice hotel and is a single-day tournament wrapping up at around 7PM it only makes sense to have an after-party. I have reserved a suite at the hotel where people can come by afterwards and hang out, play games, praise Nuffle for their victories or curse him for their losses and double-skull-reroll-double-skull. I hope that everyone that comes out to Blingtoof can make the time to come by and have some post-tournament fun.
In order to make this happen, though, I need to raise some funds. With tax, the suite is going to cost $183 for the night. To be completely transparent, I do plan to stay overnight in the room. That being said, I’m not looking for people to completely subsidize my stay. What I am going to say is that I will host the party if, by 15-Oct, I have $120 in funds raised (about 2/3 of the cost of the room). Any funds raised above & beyond the $120 will go towards food, drinks, and prizes to make the party more fun.
If you want to chip in to make this party happen you can do so in one of three ways. If you’re someone that I’ll see in person before the tournament you can e-mail me at blingtoof@engler.ca and we can arrange for you to give me your donation the next time I see you. If you’re not someone I’m likely to see prior to the tournament you can e-mail me how much you’d like to contribute and give it to me at the tournament. I’ve also set up a crowd-funding page on RocketHub. CLICK HERE to go to that page and donate.

ROSTER SUBMISSION
Having coaches submit their rosters ahead of time is a huge time-saver as, on tournament day, you’ll arrive with your roster confirmed as correct and just need to be assigned an opponent to begin playing. In order to encourage people to finalize their rosters ahead of time, I’m going to be levying a $5 fine to any coach that does not submit his/her roster via e-mail to blingtoof@engler.ca (sending it using this Excel-based roster template would be highly appreciated). All fines collected will be passed along to the cause for the 2014 Hope Bowl. Coaches submitting their rosters ahead of time will have print-outs of their rosters provided for them the day of the tournament. Coaches that do not submit their roster ahead of time must bring three copies to the tournament (one for the TO, one for your opponent, one for yourself). You may change your roster once submitted but all rosters must be submitted by midnight on Sunday, October 27th.
PRIZES & GROUP ORDERS FROM IMPACT MINIATURES
Once again, Impact Miniatures is being extremely generous and offering up the deal whereby we can get 10% off group orders and then Impact kicks in 20% of the pre-discount total as prizes. So, for example, if we put in $500 worth of orders we’ll get 10% off and only pay $450 and get $100 (20% of 500) worth of prizes for the tournament. The first group order is going to be made on June 1st. Please e-mail blingtoof@engler.ca with your order by May 31st. You do not have to be coming to the tournament to take part in the group orders. No order amount is too small, either! If 20 people order an average $10 worth of stuff each that yields $40 in prizes. Many hands make light work!
The second Impact group order will be submitted shortly after Labour Day. Please get me your desired items to be purchased before the end of the day on Monday, September 2nd.
PITCHES & TOKENS FROM FF-FIELDS
The pitch & token order has been submitted. I'll post updates when I have them. Thanks to all who ordered! Here's a pic of the slightly re-designed pitch with the turn numbers going "up" towards the center of the board from each side:
If you're local to me I'll do my best to get you your pitches/counters before the tournament, otherwise they will be there for you on the day of the tournament. If you'd like a pitch/counters but you can't come to the tournament send me a message and we'll work something out. |

The rules for Blingtoof’s Gitbash 2013 have been posted on the Tournament Rules page (CLICK HERE for a direct link to the rules PDF). They aren’t a huge departure from previous years but I’ve streamlined a few things in an attempt to (hopefully) make them more streamlined and require people to remember less during the course of a game. Please make sure you read them through but here is a quick summary of the changes:
- Bribes for Sanctioned Teams cost 100K each; Goblin Teams pay 50K each.
- “Home Feeld Udvantij†now grants +1 Fan Factor.
- Only Sanctioned Teams may purchase the Leader skill (I was inspired by (AKA stole) the rules for Chaos Cup to make this change).
- Fouling Points are still being tracked for Best Fouler but are no longer a tie-breaker.
- Bribes may no longer be used in conjuncture with sneaking a goblin on the pitch. You can still attempt it but, if you’re caught, it’s an automatic ejection and turnover.
Removing Fouling Points as a tie-breaker was a tough decision. While it was very theme-rich it made it very time-consuming to score between rounds. I am still keeping “Best Fouler†as the #2 award for the tournament but in order to make the tournament run the smoothest I decided to remove them as a tie-breaker to make best use of the Score software. |

| Last year was 14, with the XTBBF making a showing I have no doubts that all 20 spots will get taken especially if the Yanks show up. Should be a good one! |

| Kikursis is correct. Hammercon still has their 2012 registration page up. I'll make sure to alert in this thread and on twitter/FB when the reg link goes live. |
