Wish I could make it up again, not happening this year though. Have a great smash fest with the Bigs!

Since you didn't let a broken leg stop you from treking up to the cold and inhospitable wasteland to beat me last year, I cringe at the thought of what is keeping you at bay this time around. Wink

I am already trying to wriggle the boys free of the vice like grip that impedes my tournament life. Put me down for a definite and solid "maybe" Mark. A quick shave and some butter could increase that to a "probably" but I will wait until closer to the deadline so the curlies don't grow back to early.

@Grither - WTF?!?!? Can't you swing another business trip to our fiar city? Too bad, you will be missed.

@Gulag_Urag - Do you want me to shave and bring the butter? The boys in the vice-grip is your own problem.

So, I normally don't like changing rules last minute, but enough people have asked about the tiered skillset created for CCKO that I thought to incorporate it into Dagger Bowl. Original post has been updated. Now everyone can bring Halflings, hurray....

As well, I will be posting the official rulset and custom kick-off table momentarily (better late than never)....

Also, I would like to get an idea of numbers, so can people let me know if they are coming or not so I can organize food.

Thanks.

I am also going to try something a little different for sportsmanship. Since I don't want to remove it entirely, but find the currently used system is not ideal, I am going to try out the following:

Sportsmanship
At the end of the tournament, each coach will score their opponents on sportsmanship, ranking them from 1-4 (1 being the lowest, 4 being the highest score). These scores are ranked from your tournament experience, so giving one coach a score of one (1) does not mean he was a bad opponent, it simply means he was not your favorite game. At the end of the tournament, the scores will be added up, and the highest scoring total will be crowned “Mr. Nice Guy”. As well, the average of your score over the 4 games will be added to your total game play points to decide final positioning.

Gee. Now I have to re-tool my list, jackass. Talk about succumbing to peer pressure! :P

I suppose now that my Slann will be a bit better off now, so thanks I guess. Looking forward to it. See y'all then.

Yeah, I know. But I actually liked the bonus skills concept. So it works. Now you can dominate even more with your Slann.

Couple of questions:

- What's the start time and anticipated finish time?
- 3 games or four?
Daggers - Feb 20, 2013 - 06:19 AM
Post subject:
8:30-9 is registration, but if you want to email your roster in ahead of time, then really before 9 is all you need to aim for to start.

4 games is being played, I am aiming for 8-8:30 finish time. (I am getting some extra timers to enforce time).

Manu Leclerc and his Orcs took home most violent and indestructible. Ryan Hedley took home the Wooden spoon/spanking award. And Ryan MacKenzie took home he Mr Nice Guy award.

Thanks to everyone hat came out, and see everyone soon. Full rankings will be posted later on, matches are already inputted.

Had a great time Daggers. Thanks to all my opponents for games well played. Mark's cookie fortune "special moment" is now celebrated by my Commie Rats as "Bullfrog!".

Better Red than dead... Uh, better dead than Red. And a you can never have enough dead Red rats! Next time, Colin. Next time.

Thanks again Daggers. Did a lot better than I though I would with Slann, especially with my special Meers Moment. If only that luck carried on to the last game... At least I made it to the top table, unlike Adam. Razz

This from the guy who gets blown out in his last game 4-1...and finishes below me in the standings Rolling Eyes I believe I finished in 2nd place and was the only other player without a loss (other than Colin of course) Once again you failed to make the cut....we should change your name to Zap_Losehowever Razz

Had a great time as always at the Tourney, Big Thank you to Daggers for hosting. Some great games and my first time ever playing Rando, which was an awesome rollercoaster of events!! Your Commie (Dirty) Rats squeaked by me this time Colin, I'll get you next time hopefully! Congrats

Still doesn't change the fact that you failed to make it to the top table...

At least if I did make it I would have represented being on the top table better than your pitiful showing there!! One and done means nothing and to top it off you weren't even top 3 afterward Crying or Very sad

Thanks again to all who attended. Hope everyone had as much fun playing as I did watching. Some pretty awesome games were played.

Here are the final standings:
Rank. Coach (race)/Final pts/TD/CAS
1. Colin Keillar (Skaven)/10/11-3/ 6-13 [Tournament Champion, Best Offence, Best Defence]
2. Adam Jones (Chaos Pact)/8/6-4/13-6
3. Peter Meers (Wood Elf)/7/11-6/5-5
4. Manu Leclerc (Orc)/7/5-3/14-3 [Most Violent, Indestructible]
5. Mark Hickling (Slann)/7/7-7/8-9
6. Leathan Keillar (Wood Elf)/6/7-7/4-7
7. Mike Olson (Chaos Dwarf)/5/4-4/10-10
8. Chris Engler (Ogre)/5/2-3/10-11
9. Ryan MacKenzie (Chaos Pact)/4/5-6/10-9 [Mr. Nice Guy]
10. Gord McDougall (Chaos Pact)/4/4-6/7-8
11. Kohl Hedley (Chaos)/3/5-9/5-3
12. Ryan Hedley (High Elf)/0/3-12/1-9 [Wooden Spoon]

Best Offence, best defence and indestructible awards were all decided by tie-breakers. Some interesting notes, Peter Meers won his first game 6-1, but still managed to lose out on the best offence in a four-game tournament (he scored over 50% of his TDs in that one game). Manu Leclerc laid a beatdown in his final game to leapfrog Adam Jones for Most violent. No surprise, two of the speedy agility teams tied for most TDs. And the Ogre team managed to be in the running for best defence.

See everyone soon.

Yeah Adam, even I recorded a win on table 1!

And it was in round 1. Table 1 in Round 1; that should be worth double points for all the ones involved!

I'm guessing that my problem here is that I don't think about just 'PLAYING' on table 1 anymore....kind of a been there an done that...my thoughts are always on winning the whole thing! Guess there are some small minded people out there, not that I'm naming names of course Razz

Yes Adam that is something to shoot for, but until you invent a time machine, that will never happen.

I mean I am truly flattered that you'd covet my prize so dearly. Poor poor Adam, there will only be one 2006 SPIKE Champion.
