North America - Challenge of Q'ermitt (Toronto tourney)

Post subject: Challenge of Q'ermitt (Toronto tourney)
I am very excited to announce that I plan on running a Blood Bowl tournament in Toronto in March of 2005.
This is the first Annual Challenge of Q'ermit, hosted by Hammers of the North.
In this tournament participating teams will have an opportunity to span the globe, as they are transported via the portals of the Old Ones, to play in Blood Bowl pitches all over the world to determine who is truly the mightiest.
Players will have the chance to play on eight of nine specially constucted boards which represent different geographical locations (e.g. desert, ice, goblin swamp stadium). Each pitch will have their own special rules (for weather, etc.) which will be included in the tournament package. The two players who advance to the finals will be playing in the temple of the mighty Slann, Q'ermitt, who (for reasons known only to him) is set to determine who is the mightiest Blood Bowl team in the world and bestow them with the mystical Plaque of Q'ermitt.
The "nitty gritty" can be found on the "Tourney" link on the NAF toolbar.
My goal is to make this a very exciting, unique, and above all, fun tournament for all players!

I don't think Toronto is a good place to start a new tournament right now. There are already many tournaments there so the scene is pretty much saturated. The TBBF gang even decided to drop a tournament this year because they thought that 3 would be too much.
I wish you good luck anyway.
Spazzfist - Sep 05, 2004 - 08:12 PM
Post subject:
Thanks for the heads up, Zombie, but I have invested too much into this to back out now!
While I can appreciate what you are saying, I think that when looking at a market that it is saturated, you need to consider what is being offered. Now I will be the first to admit that I have not been an active particpant in the Blood Bowl tournament circuit, but I have been doing some research and talked to some people who are more in the know (e.g. Anthony Watts of the TBBF), and the message I am getting is that something different is needed if you want to draw a crowd.
I mean no disrespect to the TBBF, and say this having no knowledge of how they run their tournaments, but if you keep doing the same things, then your existing participants will start to lose interest, and it will be hard to generate a fresh audience. Perhaps that is why the Toronto scene is waning.
What I am offering will be something very different than anything that I have ever heard about, and provided that the interest is maintained, then it will be a growing project for years to come.
My hook is that I am constructing nine special Blood Bowl boards and my goal is to make at least one more every year so that the entire tournament is no longer played on the cardboard Blood Bowl pitches which we are all so familiar with, but rather on special pitches which represent and are characteristic of the different races in the Warhammer world, and the corresponding geographical locations. Not only will this be more interesting to play on aesthetically, but it will challenge the coaches to use their team in different ways as dictated by the stadium's weather and special "quirks".
But this is my first tournament, and of course I want this to be a success (duh!) so I am willing to listen and accept the advice of anyone who might be able to tell me how they have promoted their own tournament, or made it the penultimate BB tournament that could not be missed!
Zombie, thanks for the advice, but this is where I am, so this is where it's got to be. I think that when there are a lot of people doing the same thing, you just have to be creative and offer something different. When I get my web site up check it out and you will see that I am doing just that!
Hope to see you there in March!

Actually, the Toronto scene is certainly not waning. It's increasing in size at an alarming rate! The Canadian open got a lot more players this year than anything held prior to that, and the Spike! should at least double that amount.
Also, i don't think that offering constancy turns people off in the long run, on the contrary. If they see something they like, they'll be back for more! And they'll certainly be back to see again all the new people they've met.
I'm not trying to discourage you or anything. Just be warned that you might be disappointed by the turnout. You're also holding the tournament at a date that's pretty close to next year's Canadian Open, which could hurt you.
But i'm always glad to see new blood injected in the tournament scene. Again, good luck!

I don't think that I'll be able to attend, but one item off of your list that is new to me and an interesting twist, is that players who die come back without their skill(s).
It may change the way people play with certain stars and it may even force people to change from their tried-and-true skills progression for their team. (Especially if more than one player goes down in this way. 
)
I know that during the Boston Brouhaha someone put a bounty on one of the Halfling Team's treeman. (I almost collected...but he apothed the SI'd Treeman.) Anyway, you might see alot more of that type of thing in your tourney, and more interaction between players is always a good thing.
Good Luck. -Rob

Any chance of sneak previews of these custom pitches? Possible you could post some pics?

A friend of mine is going to help me set up a web site and then pics (and other info) will be posted there. I will also be posting "work in progress" pics of what has been done at the Spike! tourney.
As I said we are building nine pitches, which are as follows:
-goblin swamp stadium (built on rafts)
-halfling stadium with lush turf and overzealous Mcmurty burger vendors
-Rh'ugbi pitch (Blood bowl on a boat)
-desert pitch
-Norse snow and ice field
-Sylvanian graveyard pitch
-Astrogranite field
-dungeonbowl (?) - I have heard that some people are not crazy about this one and may change it for streetbowl or something else.
-Temple of Q'ermitt - Lizardman step pyramid pitch overseen by the mighty Q'ermitt himself
Other ideas are already floating around for other pitch conceptions, but as I said, I would like to do more every year - so suggestions are very welcome!
Currently my team and I are working on the boat, goblin and lizardman pitches as these will be the most difficult and time consuming (not to mention probably the most attractive!) Pics when we have them!

A Goblins pitch eh? Wonder if Da Maggot scum will gain home-field advantage there as well? Mind you they LIKE already having their own home stadium as it comes with all the luxeries of a Goblin Stadium! If they don't have a weapon's rack in their dugout it can't possibly be their home-field!

This is my friend Mike's website and I plan to get my own site up soon too, but until then I will see if I can get the pics of the other boards there too. Currently I am working on the goblin swamp raft pitch (which is more than half done now) and the Blood Bowl Boat is nearing completion.

Wel.... as you can well imagine the cost of making these boards (especially this current board with all the resin) is quite a bit. On top of that I would like the regular prizes, etc. I guess what it all comes down to is how many people are going to be coming? I want to keep the cost low, and the host site can hold about 40 people. So if I could get the full 40 (dreaming, I know) then sure - "most travelled is in!
Thanks for the positive feeback one and all. I plan to make this the "must attend tournament of the season"! Keep watching for more info.

Are you going to post this up on TBB to get a little more interest from there?
Spazzfist - Sep 16, 2004 - 07:49 PM

Valen,
By TBB, do you mean the TBBF? (Toronto Blood Bowl Federation?) I do indeed plan to inform them, use and abuse them in whatever way I can to make this tournament the bestest ever! And if there are any other websites, organizations, clubs that people can out me in touch with to promote this thing, that would be greatly appreciated!
As for journeying prizes for you and your mates, I was thinking about buying the first round of pints, but then there I could see if I could get a group discount on the official NAF thong! 
One other thing. I was planning on keeping this one back for next year.... I was going to run this tournament with all the boards that me and my crew have constructed (9). In following years I was thinking about offering deep discounts (or free admission) to people who brought their own custom made boards to the tourney to be played on. Then we could also have a judging for best board. If people are game for it this year, there is still a lot of time! Build your board, and we can talk about getting you in for cheap! My vision is to eventually have this as well attended tournament (duh) and a tournament where every board is a custom built one!
Ah to dream.....

Hey Scum,
Do you have the Maggots pitch built yet? Da No Good Broozers will take on any comers, especially those who aren't bigger than they are!
Having built this pitch has inspired me to re-do my first ever Blood Bowl team - DA No Good Broozers. The roughest, toughest band of no good, underhanded gobbos to ever take the pitch. my original models are the 1980's versions BB goblins, but now I want to do them with current range plastics. And yes, they will have a home field advantage on my board!

ROFL! Do I have it built yet he asks? Won Best Pitch at Gencon, and has made many appearances at Gencon, Underworld Cup and the Canadian Open. Next appearance is Spike!, as that Home-field advantage is too good to pass up! Check the picture links on the TalkBloodBowl boards for Gencon of this year or last year and there should be a few recent pictures of Ivor Biggin stadium, Home of the #1 ranked Goblin team world-wide, Da Maggot Scum! Sponcered by Guinness, as all good Goblin teams are. (Which several say is the whole point... )
Otherwise I can direct e-mail them to you somewhere...wonders of Goblin tech these days...

Thanks for all those who came by to talk to me at the Spike! and express the enthusiasm for the work that is being done for this tournament. For those who did see it, the goblin swamp stadium is almost dry now which will mean that the rafts will be going on and the board will be playable very soon.
But until it is completely dry, I do not want to lose my steam and am going to start work on my second (our 4th) board for the tournament, which will be the Sylvanian Vampire board, complete with graveyard right on the pitch! Playtesting will be in order, but the catch is that there will be a few gravestones blocking the way, however they can be removed by making a successful block against them (just don't use yer 'ead)!
If you are in the GTA, and would like a sneak preview of the tourney boards, then PM me and we can arrange something (as the boards are ready). Because of the unique nature of the boards, each one is going to have special kick of tables and weather result, as well as some minor considerations during play (e.g. the goblin stadium will see players falling ona 1 or 2 when sprinting, as they rafts and land are so slippery). In doing this I want to be sure of some semblance of game balance, and so will require some playetsting to be sure.
However, it should be noted that sometmes the "fairness balance" may not be all on one board. While some boards may favour some teams - the halfling stadium with it's "lush turf" will make it harder to punch through armour - a bonus for all AV 7 players! But then the payback will be when the players go onto the astrogranite field and find that their bones aren't as hard as they thought!
But work progresses, and as I said, the responses were very encouraging. Thanks all, and I look forward to giving everyone a tournament to remember!

Da Maggot Scum have made their contribution to this Noble effort of DOUBLING the Goblin stadiums by sending their "sponcer" list to one of the many slaves you have working on the stadium construction process.

W.r.t. the vampire/graveyard board, I wanted to get some feedback from the players who are following this thread (and are therefore most likely to actually attend the event)!
In planning the construction of this graveyard pitch, I am wondering
how to deal with the issue of the gravestones on the pitch:
Option number one would have the players placing the gravestones. There will of course be certain limitations on where they can be placed (i.e. not on the front line) and also within a certain proximity (not all side by side in a row).
Option two would have the gravestones pre-placed and then the players just have to deal with them where they are. A cunning coach be able to use them to his/her/it's advantage! This option will also allow me to make more use of those little magnets so that I can pop the gravestones on and off easily.
I would REALLY appreciate any feedback on this. After all, it is the other memers that I am aiming to please!

One option would be for coaches to place them.
Another would be to have them permanent, but make the tops removable once blocked... maybe add a puzzle like connection so you can remove the top and it looks broken?
Or a third, more normal game, put them on the lines of each square so they dont interfere with play, but it would still look like a graveyard.
All three are fine with me, though these sorts of games would make more fun than competitive play.

Nah, once the gravestone is successfully blocked, I think it should just be outta there!

I am not sure what you mean - the graves would be on the pitch, right? Well they would have to block traffice one way or the other. If they are vertical (parallel to the sidelines), then they would interfere with the left right traffic through the square that they are in, no?
twist wrote:

Well as was said in a different thread, if you choose to be involved in this tournament you have to be prepared for a slight twist on your regular game of Blood Bowl! Perhaps you are right, these boards may be more suited for fun than competitive play. But to be honest, I would rather that people had fun at my tournament than be competitive.

For anyone who is still on the fence if they are comming or not what can I say. I'll stand by my reputation from last year and say that the best thing to do would be to ask someone who was there last year if you should go or not. The chance to play on my glass field alone is worth the trip

I have just uploaded some rules (which have yet to be playtested) on my website for the special stadiums that will be used at the tournament.
They can be found at:
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/Qermitt
My goal with the special stadiums is to have each pitch with it's own distinct flavour (mmmm.. tastes like chicken!) no - not like that. I want each one to be more distinct due to it's geographical location and also due to the race that is hosting it. This will be achieved through modified kick off tables, but also through conditions on the pitch (e.g. the halfling stadium wiill have lush turf which will mean that all armour rolls are at -1).
My goal is to add an interesting twist onto the regular game of Blood Bowl without changing the game too much. As I understand it BB7's, Dungeonbowl are popular variations of Blood Bowl that are played all over the world, but I probably want to avoid being that extreme. The one exception is that I may include a "Streetbowl" board, but I would like some audience response to that. (I will include a link to rules for that later).
But the work is progressing, and more pics will be up soon! If you have any thoughts or suggestions, ideas or comments, please send them forward. Zombie, I expect your scrutiny on this one! (Just be nice when you give me your report!)
Thanks all,

Question regarding the Graveyard Pitch - Will there be open graves (pit traps) on it?
It shouldn't really matter about placement of the headstones as you can always have them placed beforehand and then toss a coin to see who gets which end of the pitch.
Looking forward to seeing more photos of your pitches. Always good to see how other people do things as it gives me ideas. It is tempting me to make a ruined temple/swamp pitch for a Lizardman Team now...

Post subject:
The open graves might not be a bad idea! I hadn't planned on that one, but it is definitely worth some consideration. Maybe it would be a clean pitch (no open graves to begin with - but one of the kick off results would have a zombie rise from the ground to attack the players. This woul dhave the dual effect of a mangy zombie on the loose and an open grave from whence he came. Hmmmm....
But funny you should mention the placement of the gravestones. I just received a copy of the BB Annual 2002 last night (had bought it on ebay) in there they have rules for a jungle pitch with trees, and how to place them on the field. Basically you have X number of trees and then each opponent places them on the opponents half of the pitch and then scatters them d6 squares with one roll on the scatter template. I am, thinking that that might be the way that I would like to go.
I am borrowing a good camera this weekend and when I have taken a few more snaps, then I will post them right away.

As I spread the word of this tournament to people I am bumping into at the local GW, and the tournaments I have attended, I am getting a lot of positive feedback and people's promises to attend. Couple that with the people whom I have never met, but have told me of their intention through the forum and I am starting to get a sense that I will have a very good attendance at this event!
My only concern with this is that the space I have booked may not be big enough.
I am wondering if people can start telling me whether or not they plan on attending. Even "maybes" would be helpful to allow me to project and plan. Once I have some rough numbers, then I will start selling tickets with an early bird discount.
A listing of all attendees will be put at the front of this thread.
Thanks,
Spazz
P.S. More pics of the goblin swamp stadium are up on the group site.

I am going to make some inquiries, but as a back-up plan I am going to look at booking the Oakville Battle Bunker for this tournament (where the Spike!) tournament was held.
If all goes well, I think we might have a larger capacity that would fit into my originally planned space!
The person to speak to is away until Thursday, more when I know more.

As I told you last night before your frick'n bunny blitzers injured both my Stormvermin on the first turn of the game! 
I will be there for sure Craig, and as you know, just so others know, I am available for help in construction, painting, planning, organizing, and quite frankly if you need help with the tournament days I am willing to do that instead of playing.
Being part of a successfully run tournament is just as satisfying as playing in it, in my book, and there will be a lot in 2005 for me to play in. I would think this one will need at least a few people in an organizing commitee to pull of.

I don't know if you have this posted on your site, but what are the actual dates in March 2005 for your tourney? I'd like to make your and OMMs in Florida...if possible.
Please let me know when you get a moment.
Thanks. -Rob
P.S. Oh yeah...the Flings are out! Don't plan on seeing me play them at your tourney...I may never play them again. I have tried and tried to make something out of this team...but what can you do with a 'Fling team that can't dodge?
I think I must somehow be getting all of the Halfling players that other Fling coaches cut after they get niggled. They are too dumb to know that they are hurt, but when they try to move ::BANG:: the knee goes out. 
Like 1s and 2s? Play Flings...you'll get your share...and then some.

The tournament will be on the 19th and 20th of March which will be the weekend after OMM's "Three Kingdoms Challenge"
For obvious reasons I will not be making that one!

Thats true...but since I was taking 'Flings to the Death Bowl you'd think that I'd be able to sneak through with my "Stunty" skill. See...more evidence that the 'Flings are unreliable!!

Well I was out to test, and it is very playable,
Interesting! Enough flavor without being too intrusive as to how the game is played.
It can plug up the pitch with the gravestones, which can slow a fast team down.. or give them more cover to speed around..
Kick off results were fun... Weather table fun.
Personally I would like to see the gravestones be more in play... IE I knock you into a gravestone you take an automatic stun.. or chance of a zombie appearing.. etc..
Anyway.. my comments on the board.

If you look on the "Tourneys" link at the top toolbar you will find the info for the tourney as it stands now. I had put down that wizards and start players will not be allowed for this one.

The lost upgrades on deaths is a cool twist, but that more or less eliminates the 'Flings from attending. No Deeproot AND disposable skills means the 'Flings will be working the concessions for this one.

Hey Spazz,
Is the Battle Bunker part of a GW store? If not (or even if so), are we required to use the 'official' GW minatures for this tournament? I am thinking of the Shadowforge minatures...

Garth,
The bunker is indeed part of a GW store, and as such I fear that they might be enforcing the "GW models only" policy. I will talk with the manager and clarify.

After some consideration and the votes of people in the associated poll I have decided to make the following changes to the tournament:
1) Goblins (i.e. all goblin teams - not orc teams with goblin players) will be allowed to buy their secret weapons as per the star player costs as shown in the LRB 4.0
2) Halfling Master Chefs wil be allowed to buy extra ingredients at a cost of 80K.
I hope this meets with general satisfaction and approval. If not... then tough!

Important Announcement
The The Challenge of Q'ermitt tournament has changed it's venue (again) and will now be played at the Dueling Grounds - which is it's original Toronto location.
The dates, times are the same - just the venue has been changed.
....apparently the Battle Bunker forgot to tell me (when they okayed my time) that they were having a "Hall of Heroes" tournament there on that day....
Not that I'm bitter......
Actually this will probably be good for me, as the TBBf is already meeting at the Dueling Grounds - so hopefully will see more of them out for the tourney!

Usually the bunker remembers they are running an event about 5 mins before close the night before.

I suggest you guys stay downtown, anwhere close to the Dundas streetcar line is ideal. The Dundas streetcar runs right by Duelling Grounds 24hrs a day. The Bloor/Danforth subway line is also very close (but doesn;t run all night), I think Dundas West station is about a 5 min walk from the store. So as long as your near the subway it'll be easy to get there. The Dundas and St. Patrick sub stations on the Yonge line also hook up with the Dundas streetcar.

Actually stunty teams would be halfling, goblin and skinks. There are not stunties on a skaven team - just the coaches! Right Clan Skaven? You stunty bastard!
As for the tourney - bring whatever team you like for Q'ermitt - and then a separate stunty team for the mini tourney. If you want to use the same team for both you can. But if you do use the same team for both then they will not be "the same team". Meaning that the models will be the same, but none of the skills from Q'ermitt will transfer over.

Note-
As I have been saying all along, this tournament is going to be using a lot of different boards which represent the different geographical regions of the Blood Bowl world, as well as the races who live there.
Each custom board will be pretty much a regular game of Blood Bowl but with a slight twist. Each board will have special rules - all of which will be included in the tournament package when the tickets are bought.
It is very important that people do not wait until the last minute to buy their tickets, as you should give yourself time to read over any special rules for the boards. There will be reference cards made for each board to summarize the rules, but for sake of smooth, quick game play it would be advisable to have reviewed the rules beforehand as well.
Also there will be a poll/discussion on that page for people to give feedback as to which race's stadium they might like to see for future Q'ermitt tournaments.
One final note - I would like to put a sheet up on the main Q'ermitt webpage which will outline the players and what races are coming. So please LMK which team you plan on bringing if you are coming.
Thanks,
Craig

Just so that everyone is clear:
1) The Challenge of Q'ermitt is a NAF sanctioned event and therefore will be used for NAF rankings.
2) The Stunty cup is just for fun. It is not NAF sanctioned and will not be used for rankings. If this changes your mind about playing in this mini-tourney then you should never have been signing up in the first place.
3) Stunty Cup games will be played on the funky tables - as I am pretty sure that we will have 18 people or less playing in it.

I will post the basic rules for the tourney at the beginning of this post.
As for the special boards, my mind changed several times over the course of the last several months that I have been preparing this thing, but here are what the special boards will be this year, with links to get peeks at the rules for them:
Blood Bowl boat (a la Carl and Matt Brown)
copyright prevents me from putting these up on NAF, if anyone knows of another link to these rules then please LMK
Goblin swamp-raft board

Hey Craig. Sorry for the apparent lack of interest by most of us on Thurs., but I'm sure that wasn't intended. With all the cool fields and special rules it's a must-see. I'll be there for sure and I know a few of the guys will be there. How we're gonna fit 30+ people at the DG is a mystery, but....
Also, what's the max # of players? I mean, with only nine(?) custom fields, doesn't that mean it has to be limited to 18 players? Hmmm
But a bunch of Samurai rats will be there to, of course, run away with it. hehe

Good to hear that you will be coming out!
As for the max of 30 players and only nine boards, all this will mean is that not everyone will be playing on the custom boards for every match. The goal is to add more boards each year and also have people bring in their own custom boards so that the tournament is totally a custom board tournament, but this year we'll start with nine.

Wow!
That is all I could say when I saw the prize that Torpor has kindly donated for The Challenge. He had contacted me earlier, and offered something, and when I had seen his lego pitches, I expressed my love for those.
Well Torpor has made a dugout, including turn and reroll counters completely out of Lego and has donated that as a prize to the tourney. Here is a link to those pics:

A small oversight was brought to my attention - in the rules for the graveyard pitch, the rogue zombie's stats showing him as having an AV of "special". This was due to the fact in the early playtesting, the zombie would be removed once it was knocked down. Now as we all know Zombies are much more difficult to get rid of than that! Treat the zombie as normal with AV8. This will be fixed on the reference card at thr tourney.

Now only less then two weeks until the match, unless the schedule posted on the site here is off! Tme for me to do some field tinkering....
Question for da Commish dere...for secret weapons are we using the more recent addition as released on the board or going straight with the the LRB version? (i.e. New pricing, stats, and the one drive or the previous penelty rolls and stats? At least we aren't using the vault ones...ick.) Or we using in addition the pricing in the book for both tournies? (i.e. Double price, or that just for the stunty wars...)
Now I need to buy some brains for the Trolls and I might even be able to engineer a play!

Well it's either that or I feed them even MORE of my players. Having them just live off of Guinness and cigarettes....thought a noble occupation! ...seems to be backfiring of late. Then again I did think those "herbal" cigarettes they've been puffing lately had an "odd" Molson brewery smell to them.

The weapons' prices are listed in the tourney rulebook. They will be LRB otherwise - with penalty rolls, etc.

Well I have received word that Jon (one of the board builders) has finished his desert board and will deliver to Dueling Grounds shortly.
Mike also informed me that the Q'ermitt board is almost done and should be done by Friday.
As for me - I am working like mad on my board that I am doing - but all will be ready on time! Fingers crossed!
Pics coming soon, I promise!

Drink Guinness! It sure will either calm the nerves, or put you in that wonderful state of mind of not caring if anything goes a little KaKa. Lesson I learned several times is never play the goblins unless you've consulted with the Dark Stout to come up with plays...some of them even work after a fashion!
Just let me know where and how much the unmarked bribes need to be and I'm sure things will go fine commish!

P.S. This is a rules query for the esteemed Mr. Spazzfist...Spazz...this is less of a rules question, but more of an interpretation...last night I played a game against a team that had access to bombers. Given that they work using the passing rules I assumed that meant that only one throw per turn. Well they had four and was able to throw them all each turn. What is your ruling on that?

Why are you thinking of bringing a team of all bombers?
I would put the question up to the members in the Rules Question forum and get more opinions and thoughts on it.
If you have not done so by the time I make it there, then I will do that.

And we still haven't fidured out where we're staying yet. Zombie has confirmed that he will not be attending.

Important News:
The Challenge of Q'ermitt has been advertising nine custom made boards for as long as I have had the idea for the tourney, and there are rules for nine custom boards in the tourney rulebook. This may now not be the case.
Mike Cheney, one of my board builders and close personal friend, has been having an extremely rough year with family illnesses. Those who had the opportunity to meet him at the Spike! know may have found out that his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. That did eventually go into remission, but then it was Mike's turn and he had a stroke. He is okay and has not had any major effects resulting from the stroke (barring fatigue), and plodded on working on the boards. He even said that it was his form of "therapy". even in these troubling times, Mike is always smiling and positive. A real inspiration.
Mike promised me that the boards he was working on (Q'ermitt's Temple and the Mordheim Board) would be finished in time. However, family health has taken another turn for the worse and he is again been put off schedule.
My understanding is such that I believe the Q'ermitt temple will be done in time but there is a strong possibility that the Mordheim board may not be. I ask for everyone's patience and understanding in this matter. I think the fact that Mike is even willing and able to finsih off the one board is a testament to his commitment under the circumstances.
If anyone is not willing to come to a tournament where there is only eight custom made boards, then I will gladly refund your money.
Thank you.

Nine boards , eight boards, who cares? I wanna play some Bloodbowl! I sincerely hope Mike make gets better soon and makes a full recovery.

Well Mike and I agree that the opposite is true - it is the hobby that keeps us from going nuts! Mike has said how grateful he has been to have this to keep his mind occupied and off of all the problems at home.
But on a lighter note, I oversaw delivery of the Khemri Desert board to the Dueling Grounds today and took down the halfling and Norse boards. (Ben, if you read this you will appreciate the halfling board! ) Any TBBF'ers will get a chance to ooh and aah over them on Thursday night.
The other boards are about 99% done on my end, and they are looking friggin' cool! I am going to have a great time playing one-off games on these babies after the tourney!
Also, the Stunty Cup has a new surprise! Check out the "Stunty Free for All" link in this forum for more details.

Da Scum to da Rescue!
As I announced that my tournament of nine custom made boards might be down to eight, Da Scum has heard my pathetic cry for help and shown compassion unheard of for a gobbo.
He told me that he will be bringing the Ivor Biggin Stadium to the Q'ermitt so that there will indeed be nine custom made pitches at the tourney! He told me thought that the rules for the stadium are "Old School Fans" which means that the old kick off table rules will be used, as oppose to the newer, softer ones.
Thanks Scum!
And who knows, Mike may surprise us all yet and have both of his boards completed!
Regardless, as I look at all these custom made boards and think of the games to be played, I know this is going to be a tourney to remember! (Now if I could just get my stupid digital camera to work!)

Two Words for you my friend...Wooden Spoon.
Funny part is, there was only 4 points seperating me from the second from the bottom. How is that possible you ask? Sportsmanship points lost is my answer. (Even though I got a vote for "Best Sportsman" from one of my opponents.)
"...ok...this is a pass action. My AG4 thrower moves...1,2,3,4,5,6..:go for it: 7, :go for it: 8...
Long Pass to my AG4 Catcher in a Tackle Zone. ::dice roll:: 6. GREAT! It's accurate.
Catch on a 3+. ::dice roll:: 5 GREAT! It's caught.
Dodge to an empty tackle zone to score a TD. ::dice roll:: 1
Dodge Re-Roll ::dice roll:: 1.
DAMN!!! he goes down right there check his armour. ::dice roll:: 10 That breaks..how bad is it?
::Dice roll:: 8 KO. BRUTAL!!!"
I'll stop the transcript there as it gets a little less PC from there.
Oh Well...I'm setting my sights on the Death Cup...look out DC the Wooden Spoon Tour continues at a Blood Bowl Tourney near you!
Anyway...it was still a great time, and all of the custom pitches gave this tourney a differnt flavor. (Even if my results were strikingly similar! )
Great Tourney SpazzFist..Well Done!!
A special thanks goes out to Ben...no not for sweeping every major tourney award, but for making my visit to Toronto a great one. Thanks dude!!!

Well the Goblins were once more well represented finding new ways to warp probability one way or the other! We had everything happen to us, From Game One miracle comeback against a Skaven team in the 2nd half despite being in the Wrong Half of my own Stadium! (And boy were my fans confused, even getting the ref for him instead of me! ) To the DOUBLE 
in the 2nd game which led to a sudden collapse against Orcs...who by the way had Blacks Orcs pulling off miracle dodges, pick-ups and GFI's to score with no rerolls to win! Then having the disaster of having only one kind of luck...all bad...against a bunch of Wood Elves leading to a VERY one sided blow-out.
Day two things went even more bizarre, however now Da Maggot Scum had figured out a way to win...bugger the play book and just scramble. End result; a Wild one with our heroes hanging on for dear life to beat a surging Human team. (With the same TWO players washed overboard THREE times in one half! Sheesh, that's more baths by those two than my entire team has had in its lifetime! ) Followed by another wild one against yet another bunch of Humans under the Scorching Sun where the two AG4 Goblins led the charge, or rather paniced scramble, to victory. Last battle was a fight in the snow with those rats in Lizardman suits, where an Ice Blizzard all game meant the fans never got to see the brilliant and dashing play as Da Maggot Scum got their one blowout victory of the tournament....though I'm sure I saw Skaven tails poking out of those lizard-suits...
So 4 Wins and 2 Losses by the Goblins...we're back on track lads!

Ben you are replacing Bud as BB God, but just like Bud, you too will fall! Congrats Ben.(Did you cheat this tourney Ben?)
Paul, 2nd place in your first 2 consecutive tourneys, all I can say is great effort. You are at least consistant. (You however still need to play me.... )
To all my opponents thanks for the fun games, despite losing 3 of the 6 & only winning one, it still was fun. (Except for those 2 useless AG 4 Skinks)
For sure I'll be at the GenCon, but possibly other tourneys before that....

The weekend turned out to work out perfectly in that we had 18 players for the 9 custom boards, so everyone was able to play on a custom made pitch every game! (Special thanks again to Da Scum for bringing the Ivor Biggin Stadium)!
Another special thanks goes out to Bikerbob's wife Dawn, who helped me out immensely by taking on the computer duties and entering in all of the info. What a relief that was!
If anyone has any photos that they took of the tourney I would be very grateful if I could get my grubby hands on some copies of those!

Yeah, sorry about that Garth! The points did not have the bonus sportsmanship scores added to it last night - this score represents those points added on (each vote for best sport was an additional 5 pts).
As for the questionable sportsmanship - no problem - Cyberhare deserves a '0' for sportsmanship in any game he plays!

I got used and abused by the dice all weekend. Game 1 I got cleared from the field by Ben and his dwarves. I still kept the game to 1 point though so I'm pretty proud of that. Game 3 was ok the first half when I didn't let my opponents dwarves see my side of the field. The second half though it was a festival of double ones and skulls. Day 2 wasn't much better. VBZ had a Nuffle Sucks hat and I stold it from him for the last round. It seemed to help as that game went quite well. I even made a play where I got the ball from three squares away from my endzone to score a TD in one turn to win the game 3 - 2. Go figure . At any rate nuffle was firmly cursed by many the unlucky coach this weekend in Toronto.

Yeah -- against me! And it was not *A* play, but it was THE play of the game -- the LAST play of the game to be exact. That damn hat stole the fourth-last place position from me!

Oh I see, originally ROB the Goblins of their ONE blow out win and give it to Clan-Skaven? What part of he's playing me therefore he CAN'T have possibly won doesn't register? (Hmm...this explains my LACK of sportsman points... )
Glad to see the "Old School" stadium lived up to it's reputation well. Pitch clearings, foul wars, and of course it got revenge on "CyberHarlet" for dissing it way back a Canadian Open ago. Must have forgiven him as he had his miracle win later...either that or he's promised it a photo exclusive.

Secondly, I had a blast at the tourney.....Craig excellent job. The tourney was everything I expected and more. The custom pitches were great and my opponents were a blast. Ben I still owe you a beaten, but in the meantime congrats.
Next I would like to talk about this stunty cup crap. Craig you little cheater.....you must of taken lessons from your pal Ben. You start the stunty cup with a Skink team and then in the finals you turn your back on Skink Inc. and change to Gobbos. I smell a conspiracy.......Craig you stabbed me in the back. There will be payback for this. I admit that I made a mistake in not taking the knockdown result but I must point out that Craig also had the oppurtunity to knock Grell down and failed. Oh well, all in fun......Had a blast. Can't wait until next year.

Well can Ben use those Jedi powers to put in the Canadian Open results before we see the next movie containing 'jedi powers' up on the big screen?

Yea, I'd like Bens Dwarfs tested for illegal performance enhancing drugs. Game 1 against him saw his guys get 0 Casualties, then we get to the finals and he gets 7.
But we all aready know that Ben is broken.
Ben isn't broken, he just cheats!

Yes Yes i'm just waiting for Ian to confirm some of the results as i don't have the original sheets, i only have the spreadsheet and there was some minor mistakes.
Anyways i will have them entered in this week along with the Qermitt results. I swear

Ahem! And a certain Privateers team needs to be tested as well! They out-dodged my skinks!
Look, Agility of a skink = 3, agility of a Dwarf Runner = 3. Its not that hard to make the dodge when there are no tackle zones hes going into.
You should really be complaining about picking up the ball in the tackle zone of your skink before I made the dodge roll.

Okay, so aside from Clan-Skaven there are no complaints about the scores (leave it to Rod to be the only one to bitch!)
So as soon as I get a place to send it to, the tourney file will got to Ben to be entered and immortalized.

Rob from Niagara Falls is a NAF member
From Niagara Falls there was 3 representatives, all 3 being NAF
In order of final CoQ rank (best to worst)
10th place Robert Pharand (Chaos Dwarf)NAF name: Talons
12th place Joseph Michaud (Orc)NAF name: Grell
13th place Rod Davidson "me" (Lizardmen)NAF name:Clan-Skaven
P.S. I'm still waiting for Talons to shave my head!

Cam I see where your final game vs. Rob (Talons) went. If you look at the final round of the C o Q you will see a game that did not take place. They have Talons defeating BikerBob 2-1 (I saw you ((Twist)) defeat him in a close fought battle on the Khemri Pitch). I'm not sure who BikerBob played in the final round but it was not Talons that much I do know.
Also I (Clan-Skaven) have a better record with my Lizardmen than I deserve.
You have me at W2 T2 L1
I should be W1 T2 L2
The error also is in the final round, here is how it reads...
Clan-Skaven defeating Da Scum 1-0
I did play Da Scum (& as far as I'd love to brag about beating the number 1 Goblin Coach in the World, I have to admit, no I lost.)
The real result should read....
Da Scum defeating Clan-Skaven 3-1
Hope this helps to clear things up.

Perhaps BikerBob (James) played Zombie. *shrugs* I remember for sure I played Rob Pharand. I think I accidently stole his D8 (its a speckled brown colour)
I'm holding it ransom til the next tourney! SPIKE maybe?
I knew I had 5 NAF ranked games out of 6, as I played *cough* Zombie for a tie as well. Overall I was 3 wins, 2 ties, and a loss.

Ya that greyish/brownish D8 is his probably, I know he had one that colour. I'll ask him if its missing.
Rod. (I to had a game not count for NAF ranking a game I lost to *cough* Zombie as well)
I know Rob Pharand played BikerBob earlier in the tourney I'm sure Rob (Talons lost). But as I stated I remember your last game on the Khemri pitch vs. Talons, everyone seemed to be watching it. (not because it was interesting, but more so cause you two were soo slow that the rest of us had nothing better to do. )

I see the results for the last round STILL seen to be plagued by gremlins...
So no matter how much Clan-Skaven bribed you to change the result it STILL turns into the Goblins beating his Rats in Lizard suits 3-1...heck his was the only game I even won on casualties! It helps that his Saurus crew have this deathwish in self-mutilating themselves...

Thanks Ben! IIRC, it was a 3-2 win for me with Lizardmen over Rob's (Talons) Chaos Dwarfs. I'll email Bikerbob and verify who he played in his last game.

Only error I found was the last games against Clan-Skaven, instead of the 1-0 Loss it was reported as for some reason it was in fact a 3-1 WIN for Da Maggot Scum against those heratic Rats in Lizard suits that Clan-Skaven decided to field.
Clan-Skaven wants his win against the Goblins he's got to earn it the older fashioned way, as I sure didn't get my cut of the bribe!

I wish I could take credit for them, but they were taken by Steve from the TBBF. I just posted them on a website for everyone to see.
I guess when you have an oversized rat player in a small area, you managed to get in most of the pics by default.
