North America - Orcland Slaughter & Block Challenge-11/13/10. Oakland CA SierraKiloBravo - Aug 21, 2010 - 04:33 PM Post subject: Orcland Slaughter & Block Challenge-11/13/10. Oakland CAThe Orcland Slaughter & Block Challenge, run by the Oakland Blood Bowl League ("OBBL") will be held on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at EndGame in Oakland, California (http://www.endgameoakland.com). The tournament will have space for 16 coaches and will consist of 3 rounds of Blood Bowl action. The tournament will be using CRP, with Slann / Underworld / Pact teams also welcome.
Basic Rules
Teams must be TV 100 in starting value. Coaches will be free to select from one of the following skill packages to apply to their teams, with the caveat that no one player may have any more than one added skill and no skill may be selected more than twice. The available skill packages are:
1 – 6 normal skills; or
2 – 4 normal skills and 1 double skill; or
3 – 2 normal skills and 2 double skills; or
4 – 4 normal skills and +1 MA or +1 AV.
The tournament is a resurrection tournament, so all injuries will be erased at the end of each round. Table 1 will roll for Weather at the beginning of each round and the result will remain the same for all tables for the duration of the round. We will also be using a modified Kick-Off Table.
Coaches may roster the following inducements into their starting TV: Babes, Bribes, Master Chef, Star Players and Wandering Apothecaries. No other inducement types will be allowed.
You should bring …
1 – Your BB team (fully painted is always nice, but is not required).
2 – 2 copies of your roster (one for yourself and one for the tournament director).
3 – Your BB board, dice, templates.
4 – Copy of the CRP (if you have it).
Illegal Procedure
IP will not be called. The 4 minute rule will not be in effect unless both coaches agree to it beforehand. If it appears that a match is dragging to the point where it will delay the tournament, the tournament director reserves the right to implement the 4 minute rule for the remainder of the match at any time and / or end the match prematurely.
Scoring
Win: 3
Tie: 1
Loss: 0
Bonuses:
Narrow Defeat (lost by 1): .25 points.
Caused 1 more CAS than your opponent (blocks only): .25 points.
Caused 2+ more CAS than your opponent (blocks only): .5 points.
Won by 2 TDs: .25 points.
Won by 3+ TDs: .5 points.
Matchups
The first round matchups will be by random draw. Each following match will be by Swiss pairing. Overall tournament ranking will be determined by total points scored over the course of the tournament. Tiebreakers will be resolved by:
1 – Cumulative Opponent’s Score; then
2 – Head to Head Record; then
3 – TD ratio (Scored / Allowed).
If this still doesn’t resolve any ties, the remaining tied coaches will duel on Washington Avenue outside of the venue with single-shot pistols at 10 paces .
Sportsmanship
Don’t be a dick. We’re all here to have fun. This is and should be your primary goal and mindset. The term “being a dick†will be interpreted solely by the tournament director, at his own discretion. Good sportsmanship is required. Someone “being a dick†will be cautioned once. A second warning and the offending coach will be ejected from the tournament. For clarity’s sake, fouling every turn, stalling to preserve a victory and running up the score is NOT “being a dick.†Excessive gloating about it, on the other hand, is.
Awards
Each coach will be charged a $10.00 fee to participate in the tournament. All funds will be used to fund various awards for the tournament. Those funds will be spent on the following awards: Champion, Runner-Up, Most TDs, Most CAS (blocks only) and Wooden Spoon. Other prizes may be given out during the tournament at the tournament organizer’s discretion.
We are all here to have a good time. This is the primary goal. Please keep this in mind. Should you wish to sign up and play in our tournament, please notify the tournament director at OrclandSlaughter@gmail.com and provide your contact information and your name (and your NAF ID and screen name, if you have one). You will then be given instructions on how to pre-pay for the tournament. Due to space limitations, the first 16 people to sign up and pay for the tournament will be accepted. Overflow / empty slots may be a possibility on the day of the tournament. However, it is not guaranteed, so please sign up early if you definitely want to attend, just to reserve your space.
We look forward to seeing you there.daloonieshaman - Aug 22, 2010 - 05:17 PM Post subject: RE: Orcland Slaughter & Block Challenge-11/13/10. Oaklan

Update: We're up to 19 registered participants. I've upped the slots again and for the final time ... up to 26 total. Three rounds of mad Orcland action. A brewpub across the street. Venue is the finest game store in California. If you're in the Bay Area and you fancy yourself a bloodbowler, you owe it to yourself to get to this. Thanks.skars - Nov 19, 2010 - 02:44 PM Post subject: RE: Re: RE: Orcland Slaughter & Block Challenge-11/13/10
