Post subject: Announcing 'The NAF Championship' - 7/8 May 2011
Hi everyone

The NAF are proud to announce that they will be taking over the running of Games Workshop's annual Blood Bowl tournament at Warhammer World.

It will be held on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th May 2011 at Warhammer World, Nottingham, UK. This will be an entirely independently-run NAF event.

We are very excited about the prospect and hope to breath new life into this major annual fixture on the Blood Bowl tournament calendar.

We plan to provide:
*Excellent value for money
*Quality prizes and freebies
*Trophies to take home for the winners
*A tournament run by the community for the community

We hope to regain the positive aspects which have historically given the tournament a special place in the hearts of so many Blood Bowl fans.

Watch this space for more details!

Thanks
Brendan

Shouldn't this be posted on the front page where the "news" is, I nearly missed this entirely

finally it can stop being called the GT and go back to being the Blood Bowl

great news though, look forward to the changes

Post subject: RE: Re: RE: The Blood Bowl - NAF Announcement
Some additional info regarding the event title.

We have been in discussion with Games Workshop and there are legal issues with the use of the term ‘Blood Bowl’ or ‘The Blood Bowl’ as the official title.

We have decided to give the tournament a title which reflects that it is no longer organised by GW but by the NAF.

Our title is The NAF Championship – a change of name, but it will continue to be one of NAF’s five Major tournaments alongside The Chaos Cup, Dungeon Bowl, Spike and CanCon.

This remains Blood Bowl’s most prestigious and best-attended individual tournament world-wide. We intend to keep it that way and hope that under NAF control it will become even bigger and better!

Cheers
Brendan

I think we should call it the GT just to annoy Jon.

Hopefully I will be at the GT but just depends upon if I can get time off for the GT.

On one level it's a pity we have to change the title. However I prefer to look at the positives; this is now the NAF's event and it has a title which reflects that. Exciting times!

Post subject: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: The Blood Bowl - NAF Announcement
Greetings sports fans! Little bit of an update, which hopefully will answer some questions people have had.
 
 
Costs
 
The price will be £40 per head. This will include:
*three meals (lunch and dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday)
*at least one gift for every entrant
*prizes and trophies for the winners (in several categories)
 
 
Payment / Availability
 
We will be accepting payment some time in early 2011, most likely January. Full details will follow as soon as possible. We have reserved space for 180 coaches and places will be allocated strictly on a first come, first served basis. We aim to give advanced warning of the ticket sale date on the NAF site and TFF to keep people in the picture. If we sell out, the possibility exists for the capacity to be increased but we make no guarantees.
 
 
Rules
 
This will be a NAF-ranked Major tournament (with associated increased rankings points at stake). Coaches will have 1,050,000 to spend on their teams and are permitted to take one regular skill before each game. All 24 teams are permitted, as are non-GW miniatures. There will be 6 rounds including a final for the top 2 coaches after round 5. The scoring system will be similar to previous Blood Bowls, with a modified tiebreaker for coaches on the same points.
 
A full rules pack will be made available on the net in the next few weeks.
 
 
I, for one, can’t wait! Very Happy

There will be announcement shortly stating the date when and how to get a ticket. We didnt think the community would appreciate paying money out right before xmas etc so we will make an announcement with several weeks notice.

Tickets for the BBGT have always been on sale first week of Feb, to some extent, players have become used to that so it seems logical to keep the process.

Just to keep you in the loop re the date for ticket sales... we aim to put them on sale some time in early-mid February, in keeping with the usual time GW's Blood Bowl GT tickets are available each year.

We will give you plenty of advanced notice re the ticket sale date / how you will be able to pay.

It is with pleasure that I can bring you details about how to pay and reserve your place for the NAF Championship! Smile
 
This excerpt from the NAFC rulespack (which will be available on-line in full early next week) gives you all the information you need:
 
There is a limited capacity at Warhammer World. Therefore places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets will go on sale on Thursday 10th February at 0800 GMT. They can be purchased by PayPal only and are priced at £40 each.
 
To reserve your place please send PayPal payment to thenafchampionship@gmail.com. Each entrant must provide their full name, current email address and current telephone number. NAF members must also provide their NAF name and NAF number.
 
You will receive immediate confirmation of your payment by PayPal. Once we have received your payment and all information as above, the NAF will send you an e-ticket confirming your place. This may take a few days to arrive. You must print this e-ticket and show it to the organisers at registration.
 
 
 
Hope to see you there!

Why a weekday? GW sales used to be on a Sunday. At 8.00 am Thurs 10th I'm going to be hard at work on a building site with no internet access. Should it sell out in hours (as it used to in the 'good old days') I (and I'm sure others) will have no chance. It's exactly the same concern I raised with the initial NAF WC 'first come first served' proposal that was scheduled for a weekday lunchtime. Is there any good reason why the timing of the sale should be a weekday during working hours?
( Example: The annual mad scramble for Glastonbury tickets always takes place on a Sunday morning for the simple reason that it disadvantages as few people as possible.)
Pipey - Feb 02, 2011 - 01:59 PM
Post subject:
Hi Woody

I take your point but whatever time/day we put them on sale, someone will always be inconvenienced. Some work evenings / weekends or have other commitments. A lot of our potential entrants go away for whole weekends at a time rolling dice Wink . Joking aside, you can't please everyone...

The facility does exist for people to buy for others. So if for some reason one person has difficulty paying for whatever reason, we would accept payment from another on their behalf.
Deathwing - Feb 02, 2011 - 03:07 PM
Post subject:
Thanks Pippy. I realize that you can't possibly please all of the people all of the time, but you can try as please as many as possible. It just seems a particularly odd time. A majority of people in the UK will be at work, travelling to work or rushing to get out for work. I just wondered if there's any particular reason for that time?
Pipey - Feb 03, 2011 - 02:46 PM
Post subject:
I hope it doesn't cause too much inconvenience. We intended the opposite and, as importantly, to keep a healthy gap between this and NAFWC payment.

(Copied over from TFF, just to make sure it's seen - despite it probably being a stupid question I don't want to invalidate a payment with the wrong option)

Which of the seven payment options (ok, 6, as admittedly it's not eBay Items) do we use?

  1. Purchase - Goods
  2. Purchase - Services
  3. Personal - Gift
  4. Personal - Personal payment owed
  5. Personal - Household expense
  6. Personal - Other

That's kind of my point. I want to support the NAF, so me giving £40 means NAF only get £35 (number plucked out of the air, I dont know the exact percentage) is a little....... I dunno, wrong.

Having discussed this with NAF Treasurer Geggster...

We feel that since a) we are indeed providing a service and b) a lot of money will be changing hands (making it important that we do things 'properly'), we are therefore happy to incur the cost of a PayPal payment for a Service.

Your choice is your own, but we feel Purchase of Services (as above) is most appropriate.

If you're reading Geggster, is there anything you would add?

Isn't buying a ticket a good rather than a service? (splitting hairs)

FWIW whenever I select personal and gift in paypal it still wants a charge anyway, so dunno whats going on there. Perhaps cause its paying straight from my bank account rather than using money sitting in paypal already? only having one account means I've nothing to compare against...
Geggster - Feb 08, 2011 - 03:55 AM
Post subject:
No-one will invalidate their purchase by selecting the wrong payment option. Let's make that clear to start with.

You can argue whether it's a "service" (a weekend of games provided by NAF) or a "good" (a ticket to gain access), but it's one of those.

Obviously we'd rather keep as much of the payment as possible (payment via "personal" or "gift" would achieve this) but as Pippy comments, that's not appropriate for a mass-ticket sale.
Tiamo69 - Feb 08, 2011 - 09:32 AM
Post subject: rules - stunty cup
Stunty Cup
This is awarded to the highest placed Goblin, Halfling or Ogre team.

so, no Skink + Krox teams being allowed into the Stunty Cup then...?

Can't wait, might even take Flings just for fun & looking forward to seeing 2-4 new players from Burton 'blooded' in the Tournament...


PS: with regards to payment options; agree with Pippy & Geggster...

due to the size of the event, selecting 'gift or personal' on paypal is just asking for trouble & for PP to come down on NAF hard...

if this was a 'normal' tournament, organised by a player & attracting 20-40 coaches it's a different matter entirely...

especially as said player/organiser usually has to put their hand in their own pockets months before the event to ensure that it actually happens &, as they have been known to run at a loss, PayPal creaming off extra percentiles is taking the P...

choosing the non-percentage attracting options for the NAF Championship could potentially lead to some challenge & fiduciary penalty being imposed on the NAF...

best keep everything above board...

It wasn't intentional but because of the early start on a workday I mailed my NAF number to work as I can't get on the site from work and I was in such a rush to get the application in I completely forgot about the other info.

I think everyone can fully appreciate the workload that you are all under.

At the same time, it's slightly disappointing that the NAF's first shot at running the main tournament hasn't gone slightly smoother with confirmations.

Just to advise that the tickets are being sent electronically to the emails given when purchasing. I make that point, as I observed that there are a number of emails that are different to the ones in the NAF website in several profiles.

They will be sent this weekend as we are trying to get as many in this initial batch as possible. If by Monday night you have not seen the email (the 28th), can you contact me or Pippy. It is likely to go Sunday but might be earlier.

There are several names with no email address and there are several new members where the email may be incorrect. In these situations we can find an alternative means I am sure. There are also some of you asking for "multiple tickets" to be sent to the same address. Just letting you know we have seen those requests. (ie Manticore Rich, we have your request).

Pippy;

could you please let us know how many people have booked to date & how many spaces you currently have left...

we've got 8 people booked & confirmed from Burton Club 'Portal' & I'm going to try to get a few more 'virgins' to come along from Sutton Club 'Immortals'.

But before i speak to them on Thursday, i wanted an idea of how many slots are left...

Cheers,

Ti

I have not received an conformation email yet, did they go out at the weekend as expected?

Thanks for letting us know. Anyone in a similar situation, please pm your name and email address to Lycos.

I will post a full list of entrants in the next few days to go alongside the e-tickets. Rest assured, if you have your PayPal confirmation, you're in.

We've sold 170 tickets. The preliminary max was 180 but we have agreed a new maximum of 228 places. Hopefully this will help to meet the high demand!

After the initial rush, tickets are now selling at a rate of 10-15 per week. If they carry on going at this rate they will sell out; so don't delay! Smile

Post subject: Re: Rules
Can I ask a quick question regarding the rules. When it says that before each match a player can be given a skill from their permitted skill set, is that all permitted skills including those that would ordinarily require rolling a double or just the 'standard' permitted skills? Thanks.

standard

Only record casualties that would give Star Player Points;

So no to Bombs & Chainsaws*, yes to B&C.

(*You would record the Cas if the Chainsaw player is BLOCKED and injures the attacker.)

is the first round going to be proper random rather than play someone who registered around the same time as you random?

or something else for that matter?
Pipey - Mar 20, 2011 - 10:43 AM
Post subject:
We've not yet finalised that yet, but it should be straight random.

Skills - chosen before each game (includes round 1), and from the player's 'permitted skill set' i.e. skills the player is normally allowed to take (therefore no doubles).

Casualties - yep just those that cause SPPs as Darkson says. CRP Rules should have all your answers.

well done pippy and crew, great event harking back to the original couple of years of the blood bowl

also nice to see some of the european players back over to play

congrats to Beppe too!

would like some more space between the tables if possible next year

also perhaps getting people to submit a roster using STARS before hand would help a lot with speeding up registration

I also think in future people should have to pay extra if they want to take Undead or Wood Elves Wink

It was my first ever tournament and my first experience of TT play in over 20 years. I had a fantastic weekend and really enjoyed myself. Everyone I played was very friendly and it was real pleasure to be there. Thanks for organising everything and I'm already looking forward to next year.

It was a great weekend and I was really pleased to hear so much great feedback from everyone. Pippy and his team (Joemanji, Jimmy, Pete W, Rodders and particularly Frank and Darkson) did a great job. It was really something to be there.

Until 2012.

Thanks to Brendan and to his staff, the best organization ever seen in the Warhammer World and a really great tournament!

Congratulations to Beppe "Pinolo" (pine seed)!!! Very Happy

Thanks to everyone for organising this, especially Brendan, and to Simon and Frank for reffing on the day.

I thought this was a great event, and I'd like to throw out an extra thanks to everyone who travelled from outside the UK to attend. It means a lot to us here that people would make the effort to come over, and it makes the event all that more special. Hopefully you'll all come back next year! Having a clash of 'big names' in the final with Beppe vs Lycos was amazing, I would have loved to spectate.

It is not the GT and it never was afaiac. It was the Blood Bowl and it is now the NAF Championship (or still the Blood Bowl if GW aren't around)

Thanks guys. It was a genuine team effort. That was the key!

Glowworm/Grum - you're both right!

Well done again to Mr Pine Nut! Wink
