Northern British Tournament Series 2015
Winkle_Picka supported by Garrick are running a Northern British Series including all the Scottish tournaments open to all contestants. The NAF will sanction, publicise and provide prize support for the Northern British Series which will encourage more players to come to Scottish and Northern English tournaments.
The Northern Series will consist of:
WaterBowl, Stockport 21/22 February 2015
BridieBowl, Arbroath 21 March 2015
MonkeyBowl, Hartlepool 11/12 April 2015
Block Around the Clock, Gateshead 2/3 May 2015
BurgerBowl, Edinburgh 11/12 July 2015
OchilBowl, Stirling August 2015
GeordieBowl, Newcastle August 2015
WeegieBowl. Glasgow September 2015
Scoring
• All scoring is per tournament but only your top 3 scores will count.
• A coach must attend at least 4 tournaments in the series to be eligible.
• +10 to +1 points for top 10 placement on a declining scale. In other words a 1st place finish would be worth 10 points, a 2nd place finish would be worth 9 points, on down to a 10th place finish being worth 1 point.
• plus one scoring place for each 10 places below 1st and
• plus one scoring place for each extra day.
(Examples: A two day 32-coach tournament would have 4 extra scoring places:- 3 for 32 coaches and 1 for the extra day resulting in 1st place scoring 14pts etc. to 14th place scoring 1pt. A one day 11 coach tournament would have 1 extra scoring place because there are 10 coaches below 1st. A one day 10 coach tournament would have no extra scoring place because there are only 9 coaches below 1st.)
• Coaches will be required to coach at least 2 different types of teams, their total score must include at least 1 result from this 2nd race.
• Tiebreakers: Coaches receive .1 points for each tournament they participate in. This score is taken in whole and is not reduced to "best 3" as with other scores. So someone who participated in 9 tournaments might have a total score of 30.9, beating out someone who only played in 8 tournaments and has 30.8.
• Secondary tiebreakers: Highest placed at largest tournament in the series.
There will also be a "Stunty" prize for the best placed Stunty team in the series based on the same formula above but entirely for all the Stunty teams (Ogre, Halfling and Goblin) that enter each qualifying tournament. (Example: If only two Stunty coaches finish in a 10-coach tournament they would receive 10 and 9 points respectively for first and second towards the "Stunty" prize.)
The plan right now is for the prizes to be a series of enamel lapel pins or badges for those that finish in 1st-3rd place as well as the Stunty winner. The hope is that these will become as desirable and collectible as the pewter NAF trophy (or more so, as there will be fewer given out and the design will change slightly with each year). Again, that's just the plan, and the NAF are still working on the design for those, but they are fairly certain that it will go that way.
N.B. We will crown a Scottish Champion “within†the Northern Series (scoring criteria to be determined which may include NAFC) and they will win the Dragon trophy.Pipey - Jan 21, 2015 - 05:20 AM Post subject:
Graham and Stan – like it!
I take it no Alba Bowl this year then?
Otherwise looks like a good selection. With any joy we’ll see another good Scots turnout at Monkeybowl . This can’t do any harm, eh?
