After having such a wonderful time at Gencon, I decided that It was a must to share the Bloodbowl Tournament excitement locally. However all are welcome. Special thanks to galak Worship

and all for a wonderful event at gencon and for the basics of this tournament.

Pow

IRON MIKE???S BLOOD BOWL TOURNEMENT Pow

Open to all coaches.
Awards will be given for:
1st, 2nd, Most Casualties, and Best Sportsman
Official NAF Sanctioned Tournament

Location: Merlyn???s
W. 19 Main St.
Spokane, WA. 99201
Date: Will be held on Saturday, November 13, 2004.

THE RULES:
1) On-Pitch Take Root will be used:
Roll a D6 before taking an action with this player other than going from stunned to prone. On a 2+, you may proceed with the action as normal. On a 1, the player's MA becomes zero and loses the ability to Go For It for the rest of the drive. The player may still block but will not be able to follow-up.

2) Pro will be a General skill

3) I will be allowing the current experimental Vampire and Ogre teams to play ... I'll deal with NAF issues for this later ... even if it means keeping your scores for later entry when the team is in their database. The vampire team will not be allowed to have the Head Coach play (only purchase Count Luthor). So that allows all 18 official teams and the 2 experimental allowed for 20 total.

Rules for Ogre team:
0-12 Ogre 120,000 5 5 2 9
Mighty Blow Thick Skull, Throw Team-Mate, Bonehead --- Strength
0-6 Goblin 40,000 6 2 3 7 Dodge Right Stuff, Stunty --- Agility
Rerolls 70,000

Rules for Vampire team:
0-12 Thrall 40,000 6 3 3 7 --- General
0-6 Vampire 110,000 6 4 4 8
Hypnotic Gaze, Regenerate, Off for a Bite --- General, Agility, Strength
Rerolls 70,000
Apothecary can only be used on Thralls if purchased

New Racial Characteristic and Rules:
OFAB (Off for a Bite):
A player with this characteristic must occasionally feed on the blood of the living. At the start of any action where the player is not stunned, roll a D6. On a 2+ the player may carry out the action as normal. On a '1', however, the player is overcome with a desire for blood. The player's team loses the declared action for that turn and the player must instead make a Move Action. If the player finishes moving standing adjacent to a Thrall from his own team, immediately roll for unmodified injury on that Thrall (an injury to the Thrall is not a turnover unless he was holding the ball). If the player does not finish moving next to a Thrall from his own team, then he runs into Reserves to find a pretty maiden groupie to quench his thirst. Place him in the reserves box, this is a turnover (if he was holding the ball it scatters once from the final square of his movement.) The Vampire's Move action is not consided ended until he injures a Thrall or runs into Reserves.

4) All BIG GUYs will be treated as having Strength only skill access (instead of their normal General/Strength access). In ADDITION, Bull Centaurs and Mummies will have Strength only access for the tournament as well instead of their normal General/Strength access.

5) The tournament will be 4 rounds of Swiss. Starting team will be 1,000,000. You will be allowed your choice of giving 2 players each a normal skill or one player a doubles roll skill or mutation after rounds 1 and 3. After round 2, you will be allowed to give one player a normal skill. A player may not be given more than one new skill/trait during the entire tournament. All casualties that have been inflicted on your team, including death, are wiped away at the end of the game. In other words the team resets after every game. Skills accrued through the tournament will not be lost, even if the player dies. Note: Apothecaries are still useful for bringing back injured players during the game.

6) Dice: Before each game you and your opponent both agree to use ONLY ONE set of dice for the entire game ... the other player puts his dice away where they cannot be used. If you cannot agree on the dice to be used, a referee will decide by rolling for it. If you are superstitious about people touching your lucky dice ... the tournament would like to suggest that you bring a different set of dice to the tournament that you don't care if other people touch as this rule will be enforced.

7) Wizards: 150k for a Wizard or a Dwarven Runesmith. Halflings get the Master Chef for free and can purchase additional Chef Ingredients for 60k each as a permanent increase to the Chef's abilities. Undead and Necromantic teams get their Necromancer for free, but may not purchase a normal wizard. Khemri and Vampire teams may not have a wizard.

Cool

Minatures: You will be allowed to use non-GW miniatures. HOWEVER, the figures MUST be READILY identifiable as their positions as determined by the head referee or his assistants. Coaching staff minis must be present in order to use. Also mutations and weapons if you plan on having them on your team ... you MUST have a figure that clearly shows the mutation to take it. You cannot give Claw to a Skaven Storm Blitzer if you don't have a football geared ratman with a Claw for a hand. Also all miniatures must be numbered clearly and visibly.

9) SCORING:
GAMES: There will be a two hour time limit strictly enforced and there will be no overtime periods whatsoever.
FOR ALL YOU EVIL GITS OUT THERE: For this tournament fouls count for casualties.

Win = 55 points
Blow out bonus (won by 2+ points) = +10
Smackdown bonus (won, and caused more casualties) = +10
Beat 'em up good (won, and tied for casualties) = +5

Loss = 10 points
Keeping it close bonus (lost by 1 point) = +10
"You should see the other guy" bonus (lost, but caused more casualties) = +10
Put up the good fight (lost, but tied for casualties) = +5

Tie = 35 points
Yeah, but we hurt 'em bonus (tied, but caused more casualties) = +10
A tight game start to finish (tied for score and casualties) = +5

PAINTING:
+5 Based: All the bases in the team (including coaching staff) are painted AND textured in some manner. The baseline for texture is flock as a minimum. Just being painted green is not enough!

+5 Painted: The team is painted, all models have at least 3 colors on them. Different colors should be used for different areas. Undercoats must not be visible.

+5 Detailed: All models have had the details of the model painted in a variety of colors or with noticeable effects. This can be shading or highlighting, or 'black-lining' etc. This discriminates between the merely painted team and the team that has had attention paid to it.

Important: For all 3 of the above ... In order to get the 5 points for a category all the models in the team must fulfill the criteria. If even one fails, the points can't be scored.

The team voted best overall painted team by the coaches playing in the tournament over lunch, will receive an extra 10 points. The head referee and his assistants will choose the teams eligible for this voting during registration. You must have painted your own team to be eligible for the best painted voting (however, teams painted by another person can still earn the full 15 normal painting points).

SPORTSMANSHIP:
At the end of the tournament, coaches will rank players from most to least sporting with a 1 being most sporting and a 4 being least ... points for each of these 4 votes will score points as follows:

1st 13 points
2nd 10 points
3rd 6 points
4th 3 points
If you have an opponent who drops out without voting you will receive 8 points from that coach.

10) The rules for Star Players
Rule 1: If two of the same stars show up for a game, neither star will play. Note STAR PLAYERS do not have positions at all, so a Human team can have 4 Blitzers and Griff, or a Halfling team could have 2 Treemen and Deeproot.

Rule 2: Your team can have up to two STAR PLAYERS on it if your race allows for them. The Goblin team is the one exception and can have up to 4 STAR PLAYERS, but no two of the same type.

Clarifications ... Goblin teams still have to pay double the listed price to bring either Morg or Varag on their teams.

*Note: The live ball rule that is sometimes locally used will NOT be in effect. The ball will only scatter out of an empty square when it was either thrown (by crowd or a player) or a kick. A failed pick up or catch etc, will result in the ball still being in that players tackle zone as long as there are no adjacent players for the ball to bounce off of.

Great News! The first place prize will be an Original Fantasy Football miniature of the winners choice sculpted by local artist, Jason Wiebe of Pariah Artworks. (Who has also sculpted for Reaper, Black Orc, WOTC, Kenzer, Magnificent Egos, and Eastern Front) The Sculpt will reflect the winner???s team race/faction. (Example: Human, Dwarf, Elf, etc) The winner will choose which position player they would like an original sculpt of (Example Blitzer, Lineman, UnDead-Mummy, etc) The miniature will be delivered to the winner upon completion, yes the anticipation might just kill you, but death and carnage is what Blood Bowl is all about. Other players that participate in the tournament will be able to purchase this miniature when it becomes available. This will be an exclusive offering brought to you by me, Iron Mike and will be available, while supplies last, during my next tournament as well. So, if you can???t make it for this tournament, you may be able to get this figure at the next one. See you there!

Had a great time at the tournament last weekend. This finally gave me an official NAF ranking.

I am 5th for Lizardmen team in the US and 30th in the world. All though this doesn't say to much for there are so few lizard teams in the US. Next time I think I will take silibi and for go my one reroll. I went 2-2 in the tournament. Not sure overall how I ended up. Going into the 4th round I was in second place and had to face the Ogres of Snotsngrots. They beatup my saurus good, but could keep my skinks down. He won.

fe2mike - Nov 17, 2004 - 02:30 PM
Post subject:

Here is the quick rundown:

1st- Steve Newman aka Snew or snotsngrots: Ogres he went 3-0-1 tied by my halflings (he also had most sporting, and was most travelled, Portland OR)

2nd- Dana Ogle aka Ogeee or brushman: Humans

3rd- Henry Sherrill aka Henry4th: Chaos Dwarfs (came in 3rd by 1 point)

Best Sportsman Award- went to Josh Drewry: Skaven (2nd in voting [by 3 pts] but Steve didn't need 2 trophies)

Best Painted Team- Josh Drewry: Skaven with a unanimous vote

Most Casualties- Geoff: Chaos with 14 in 4 games

Most Casualties Against- Doug Staudt aka Dougernaut: Goblins with 23 against in 4 games

Most TDs- Dana Ogle: Humans 10 in 4 games

Least TDs Allowed (all 4 games)- Steve Newman: Ogres allowed 2 in 4 games

My halflings went a feeble 1-2-1 (win vs lizards, tie vs ogres, losses vs both wood elfs and undead

No duplicate Teams showed up

A total of 13 people showed, only 9 were able to play in all 4 games and a total of 8 NAF coaches were present

The new model to be sculpted is an Ogre head coach.

We missed a total of 4 local NAF coachs that I know of Sad

But how did JJ perform?!!?! Razz

Xtreme - Nov 17, 2004 - 08:44 PM
Post subject:

From what I heard he was freaking awesome again. If he keeps this up I may need to get a JJ for my team. Wink

snew - Nov 17, 2004 - 09:35 PM
Post subject:

JJ was a 1 Goblin CD-wrecking crew. He took 2 CD blockers out with casualties and performed several blitzes that put key defenders on the pitch for a turn or 2. Couldn't handle the ball to save his life but the other skills more than made up for it. That Goblin is a machine! Orc

A little, green machine!

Go JJ!

I am going to try for next years Gencon. Just getting the vacation and money together is the issue at hand.

after the fact. Had a great time Very Happy

I would like to see this continue in the future.

Need help and would like to do it again Smile

Let me know and I will give a hand.

If you weren't there you missed a great time. NW Eagles (human) we want to do it again.

Next year the Ogres or whatever team I bring want a piece of your team. It would have been cool to get together afterward and see what the most TDs scored team/coach could have done against the least TDs allowed team/coach.

You guys were great and worth driving all that way for. There's a good local base there. I wish I could say the same for Portland.

Post subject:

You'll all be happy to know that any loss you had to my team doesn't count against you since the team was not posted as official till the Wednesday after the tourney. The RR was completed the week prior so the team was, theoretically, official. 4 days earlier and things would have been different. You still have to live with your shame though. Wink

You know you all lost fair and square. All except the Halflings who held me to a tie. Embarassed

I'm of the mindset that any roster that had ST only skills for their CDs and Mummies or that took a secret weapon that isn't normally allowed on the team weren't official either so they shouldn't count as well but I think I'm alone there. I'm a little bitter if you couldn't tell.

Okay so that I'm not confused here ... HUH?????

Are you guys agreeing to our arguments for the Xtreme's and Snotsngrots 11 NAF games played with Ogres?

If so I'll re-enter the results ... but I don't want to do this until I completely understand that the NAF is saying this is okay.

Woody ... as much as I'd love for what you said to be true ... I don't think that is what your NAF board members said. Please verify what is going down so that I don't make more work for Anthony and co.
