The Canadian Open is BACK - it will be hosted in Toronto, ON Canada
DATE
March 14-15, 2015
LOCATION
Dovercourt House
805 Dovercourt Rd.
Toronto, ON M6H 2X4
We are playing on the second floor.
This is a brilliant venue steps away from Bloor St. West. A vibrant part of the local community supporting dance, theatre, gaming and other groups - there will be drinks (alcoholic & non) available for purchase and there are great options for food on Bloor St.
Please send a Private Message or email CanadianOpen@nafcanada.ca if you are interested in having somewhere to crash, I can put people up at my house if you don’t mind bringing a sleeping bag and am a 2 minute drive/10 minute walk to the venue.
COST
$35 - NAF Members, $45 - Non-NAF members (with $10 going towards NAF membership sign-up). Pre-registration saves you $5 and me headaches
If a NAF member recruits any number of Non-NAF member(s) to participate - that NAF member will get a free "random skill upgrade chit" (see below).
Additionally, there will be a raffle prize for the NAF members who have recruited Non-NAF members to attend!
TOURNAMENT
5 games of Blood Bowl played over two days (3 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday) Swiss-style match-ups after game 1. Tournament is resurrection.
Tournament points are W/T/L - 3/1/0, with strength of schedule as primary tie-breaker.
We will be using the CRP rules along with the 3 additional NAF approved teams with the following exceptions:
A custom weather table will be used, weather will be rolled by top table and apply to all games.
CANADIAN OPEN WEATHER TABLE
Being that this is the Canadian Open, we have adjusted the weather table in order to reflect our unique weather.
(2) Bitter Cold: It's so cold that some players have got Frost Bite! Roll a D6 for each player on the pitch at the end of a drive. On a roll of 1 the player has been stricken with frost bite and may not be set up for the next kick-off.
(3) Very Sunny: Cold, but the blinding sunshine causes a -1 modifier on all passing rolls
(4) Icy Conditions: It's exceptionally icy on the pitch causing extreme slippery conditions. To reflect this, all players that move more then 3 squares (including a blitz action) make a roll, on a roll of 1 the player moves an additional square in the same direction ignoring any tackle zones if the player so happens to pass through one. If a player moves into an occupied square then treat it as a push result on the block dice - Fend, Side Step & Stand Firm do NOT work on this push effect. During a blitz, this can happen twice - once before the block if the blitzing player moved more than 3 squares to end up adjacent to their target, and once after the block if the player continues moving and moves more than 3 squares (the follow up counts towards this total) but movement from before the block will not count towards slipping after continuing moving. In addition, the icy conditions may also result in a player sliding out of bounds or into the end zone for the winning TD! Standing up does not count towards this in any way. You may reroll the slip dice roll, both to attempt to succeed or to fail!
(5 – 10) Nice: Cold but otherwise decent Blood Bowl weather.
(11) Ice Rain: It's raining, making the ball slippery and difficult to hold. A -1 modifier applies to all catch, intercept, or pick up rolls.
(12) Blizzard: It's cold and snowing! The horrible conditions means that any player attempting to move an extra square (GFI) will slip and be knocked down on a roll of 1-2. In addition, only quick and short passes can be attempted.
PREREGISTRATION
Click this link to preregister.
Preregistration will be open until March 12th, 2015 - no matter when you submit your registration/roster/payment, you may send an updated roster at any point up to this date. Anyone registering after that will pay full price.

TEAM BUILD
Coaches will have 1,000,000 gold crowns with which to build a "rookie" team. 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. Apothecaries work as described in CRP/LRB6.0 rules and may not be used on Star Players.
Norse teams get 1 Fan Factor at no cost as this is their turf.
INDUCEMENTS
No inducements may be purchased unless you are the coach of a “Stunty†team. Stunty teams include; Halfling, Goblin, Ogre, 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
A player may receive a max of 2 upgrades during the entire tournament, this means you can give 2 upgrades immediately but that player becomes ineligible for random skill upgrades later.
Every team will get an extra allotment of TV to spend towards skills and stat upgrades before game 1 based on tier.
A max of 1 of each stat upgrade and 2 of each skill may be selected during this phase.
Tier 1 (70k) includes; Amazons, Chaos Dwarves, Dwarves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Necromantic, Norse, Orcs, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elves
Tier 2 (100k) includes; Chaos, Chaos Pact, High Elves, Elves, Humans, Khemri, Nurgle, Slann
Tier 3 (130k) includes; Halflings, Goblins, Ogres, Vampires, Underworld
After games 1 and games 3, teams will get an additional random skill - again based on tier. The 2 upgrade limit over the tournament continues to apply. You must make your selection BEFORE match ups are determined.
Tier 1: pick a player, pick 6 skills they can receive as a normal skill. Roll a D6 and add that skill to the player.
Tier 2: pick a player, pick 3 skills they can receive as a normal skill. Roll a D3 and add that skill to the player.
Tier 3: pick a player, pick 3 skills they can receive as either a normal or double skill. Roll a D3 and add that skill to the player.

So far one actually pre-registered is Delevus from the U.S. He seems pretty gung ho on taking this trophy down south considering his regular attendance.
Are you canucks gonna let that happen? Gotta see lots of you coaches out so there is a strong level of competition! |

| Pre-reg? Right will do. Do we need to decide on a team before hand? |

You need to submit a roster but like last year you can change it up to March 1st. Race change up til then is fine.
Anyone wanting to change after March 1st who did pre-reg will have to pay $5 to do so since it takes away the convenience on my end. |

Hey natsirtm,
Just a heads up that your pre-registration page on the NAF Canada website is forwarding your registrants info to my email for Deathbowl pre-registration. So far it is only one person and I can forward that info to you whenever you want.

| Starting to hear rumblings of more locals making appearances - sounds like numbers will be similar to last year if all holds true.. Let's try to break last years record of 22. |
