TEAM IMPROVEMENTS
Each team may choose between one of two skills packages after team creation. You may choose either:

More information to follow...Daggers - Dec 30, 2013 - 07:27 PM Post subject: RE: CCKO 2014 - January 25 & 26, 2014 - Ottawa, ONSkills Draft
After the third game, there will be a skills draft where coaches may select new skills/improvements. A coach may only select improvements which are accessible to their race through standard skill selection (ie normal, doubles or stat increase rolls on the improvement table). No player may gain more than two skills/improvements during the tournament.
Each coach will be given 45 seconds to pick a skill/improvement. If the coach does not pick within that time, they lose their spot and the next coach picks. The coach will get to pick a skill at the end of the round rather than at their selection time. Each coach may pick one skill/improvement per round. There will be four rounds in the draft; therefore each coach will select four skills/improvements.
The draft order will be seeded by tournament position at the end of play after the third game. Only tournament points from gaming will be used to determine ranking. The team with the lowest ranking will pick first and the other coaches will follow in reverse ranking order, i.e. first place will chose last, and last place will chose first in each and every round. The draft order will be the same for each round.
For each 12 players, or part thereof, there will be one full set of skills and improvements available for the draft. Because of the limited number of skills available during the draft, the lower ranked coaches will have a better chance to select the more sought after skills, (i.e. stat increases, block, dodge, guard), while the higher ranked coaches will be forced to choose less common skills. The result of this will hopefully give the lower ranked coaches a chance to make their way back up the ranks, and also result in less common skills combinations being selected.Daggers - Dec 30, 2013 - 07:28 PM Post subject: RE: CCKO 2014 - January 25 & 26, 2014 - Ottawa, ON

With the dust settling, CCKO 2014 is in the books. A huge thanks goes out to everyone that made it out (especially Grant for driving all that way in a really shitty snow storm), and really huge thanks to the guys at FDB for the great space and prize support. I think this may become a new home for Blood Bowl in the region. It was small group this year, but everyone had fun, look for bigger and better things next year.
In the end the final standings were:
1. Leathan Keillar, Norse, Tournament Champion
2. Gord, McDougall, Dark Elf, 2nd Place
3. Mark Hickling, Slann, 3rd Place
4. Grant Hallas, Wood Elf, Best Offence
5. Kohl Hedley, Necromantic, Most Violent
6. Colin Keillar, Nurgle
7. Adam Jones, Norse, Wooden Spoon
8. Mark D'Agostino, Pro Elf, TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER
All the matches have been entered into the system. Some interesting facts, Leathan won by only 1 point, and the difference in standings between Gord and Hickling was decided by the fourth round tie-breaker. Kohl had a sizeable lead in the CAS race, but had to work for it in the final match by getting 4 CAS, since Colin had got 6 (against me) and had surpassed him briefly.
Thanks again to everyone that came out, and hope to see you at either the Dagger Bowl on February 22 or the Canadian Open on March 22-23.grant85 - Jan 27, 2014 - 06:59 PM Post subject:
Thanks for a great weekend Mark! I had a blast, good location (cant go wrong in a hobby shop above a cheese store), great opponents, comfy mattress = perfect BB weather.....urm, wait, I mean weekend. I was pleased as punch to manage a win against the likes of Hickling and Jones. See you gents at the Canadian Open in March!
