Post subject: Border Princes Summer Festival VI, July 25th & 26th 2020

The outlaws and lawless BB tournament, for those special few that skirt around the border patrols is back!
DATE
July 25th and 26th 2020

LOCATION
Keillar residence
22144 County Road 2,
Bainsville, ON
K0C 1E0

COST
$40 - NAF Members, $45 - Non-NAF members (with $5 going towards NAF membership sign-up).

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 - 5/2/0, with strength of schedule as primary tie-breaker.
We will be using the current rule set including all 26 approved races.

TEAM BUILD
Coaches will have 1,100,000 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 current rule set and may not be used on Star Players.

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 rule set.

TEAM IMPROVEMENTS
Every team will get an extra allotment of TV to spend towards skills and stat upgrades based on tier,
A player may receive a max of 1 skill or 1 stat upgrade.
A max of 2 each skill and 1 of each stat upgrade per team.

Tier A: ( 90k) Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Lizardman, Orc, Undead, Wood Elf.
Tier B: (100k) Amazon, Bretonnian, Elf Union, Norse, Necromantic, Dwarf, Skaven.
Tier C:(130k) Khorne, Chaos, Nurgle, Khemri, High Elves, Humans,Chaos Renegades.
Tier D:(150k) Goblins, Halflings, Ogres, Slann, Underworld, Vampires.

The near lawless Border Princes style of Blood Bowl play will be reflected by the drawing of Special Play cards by coaches before each match.

Only up to 2 cards of the same value may be drawn per match.

example: game 3- 2 50k cards and 1 100k card for 200k or

2 100k cards for 200k or

1 200 k card for 200k
you may not pick 4 50k cards.

games 1 and 2 - 100k value of cards

games 3 and 4 - 200k value of cards

game 5 - 400k value of cards!

Due to provincial Covid guidelines, guests this year will be limited to 8.

Runki will this be renamed as our Post-Amorical Celebration Tournament!! Razz

I think it would be suitable as the Chaos Gods have no boundaries or borders that would prevent them from taking part lol

Either way I am planning on being there this year!! Will see if I can drag a few locals out for the event as well!

Not if I have anything to do with it, as a player or even more likely as referee Wink

I would love to come to Border Princes again, it will all depend on travel schedule for me.

With the quarantine loosening it looks like Border Princes will be a go!
I will be limiting attendance. As an outdoor tournament it should be as safe as Blood Bowl can be!
More information to come.

will have to depend on a lot of factors for me but fingers crossed!

So far 3 maybes from Niagara, there is a social distancing concern / question asked, so any plans to spread game locations?

Notorious_jtb - Jun 05, 2020 - 08:00 AM
Post subject:

I have to say I would both love to come and am scared a bit of the social distancing issue.
Especially as we all live in different places.

It seems like it might be too soon for me to get comfy Sad

Post subject:

Well I am going to be there for sure….I like most of you need a weekend of fun….There is enough land that we can put games all over the place for sure….

We'll be capping the participants at 8 guests.

The first slots will be offered to previous attendants.

Post subject:

I will be absent for this year's border bordello. With regret, I have attended every single event in Bainsville and so it isn't an easy decision.

You can count me in for 2021, I'll even play something crazy like chaos dwarf next year Smile

In quebec : as june 22nd we will be able to be 50 persons or less in a public closed space. (Ontario will probably do the same very soon..)

Are you going to increase de players cap for your tourney?

Do you have a spot available for Guillaume? (Wexy) .. so i can have a lift saturday morning?

Taxal - Jun 17, 2020 - 11:36 AM
Post subject:

In my absence please play this Rando's Scavenger hunt game, check off each one you see someone do and let me know who scores the most points before next year:
1) Eat someone else's french fires
2) Hide someone else's tent poles
3) Make sure a tent is moved in the middle of the night
4) Serve a friend a Dan's mom special
5) Enjoy something totally legal
6) Drink a Dan's mom special
7) Dive into the lake
Cool

Leave something behind at Collin's place
9) Be the only one who hasn't won a deathbowl LOL!!!
10) Play pro elves

So damn funny

Two weeks until kick off!

With the sad news about Sous Sol closing at the end of the month, We've got some great store close out swag from Norm to hand out. And maybe we'll see him at tournaments in the future?

Looking forward to seeing everyone who can come!

DAMN RIGHT!!!!! 2 WEEKS!!!!!

Yes it Always sucks when a local store closes but after 18 years Norm/Val have earned retirement.
