NIAGAROTH BREWERY BLOODBOWL OPEN
N.B.B.O. CUP
N.B.B.O. BOWL
September 15-16 2007
Niagara Falls Ontario Canada
Owner and self proclaimed Brew Master, Dark Elf Bloodprince Kciredor has in the past attempted to create fine Brews, Ales, & Stouts that would rival such brands as Bloodwiser & such Breweries as Bugmans Brewery. With little to no such luck in that attempt Bloodprince Kciredor looked to get his Brews to be sponsors for any of the Top Bloodbowl teams. The only problem was his Brews were not known outside the small city of Niagaroth Falls & no team like the Darkside Cowboys or the Reikland Reavers would dare have an unheard of sponsor on their uniform.
So it was back to the drawing board for Kciredor, and with no prospects to make his mark in the Brewers Guild as a true Brew Master, he turned his efforts to seeking out other flavors of the land, which lead him to War Boss Thog of the Orc Warband Razorback.
War Boss Thog and his Orcs after years of treaty with Bloodprince Kciredor and his Dark Elves against the invaders of the Oldworld . Heard of Kciredor???s dream to be the Brew Master & saw this as an Opportunity to be ???Da Ultamit Orc Brew Mazta??? ! So with the riches from the Dark Elves combined with the already qualified brewers from the Orcs came forth a joint endeavor between Niagaroth Brewery & Big Orc Brewery to produce Fine Ales & Brews to quench the thirsts of the lands (& fill the pockets of Kciredor with riches)
War Boss Thog had a recipe that he told Kciredor brought out the Whaaaaaagh!! In you, only the name was not all that appealing to Kciredor. ???War Boss Thog???s Scream Ale??? , Bloodprince Kciredor suggested that in keeping with War Boss Thog???s namesake & involving the theme of his Orc Warband???s love for riding wild boars into a frenzied battle, that the name be modified to ???Warthog Scream Ale??? the Ale that brings out the Whaaaagh in you. War Boss Thog agreed after some deliberation with the Bloodprince (to this day though Thog still thinks it is pronounced War-thog not Wart-hog). So with the 1st Top Brew produced under Big Orc Brewery & financially backed by Niagaroth Brewery it was time to market the product for Bloodbowl Sponsorship again, but alas the end result was the same.
Until one night while outside the Brewery in the Brewery courtyard, the Razorback Tribe???s Grenskins were fighting over who was going to keep the Goblin head that was being tossed around the courtyard by the barbaric Orcs. This gave Bloodprince Kciredor an idea, why not have War Boss Thog Organize his Boyz into that of a Bloodbowl team & call them the Warthogs (with Warthog Scream Ale as the team???s official sponsor) Once the idea was passed on to War Boss Thog it was only a matter of seconds before his Finest Orcs, Black Orcs & even a large dim witted Troll was assembled.
So thus was the start to the Warthogs legacy to bring fame & fortune to Kciredor & Thog. Only the best the Warthogs could muster out of four tournaments was three losing records & one tourney record of 3 Wins & 3 Loses (not exactly the kind of Success that was hoped for) With that lack of success the brew Warthog Scream Ale became almost unheard of again.
On almost certain bankruptcy to both Breweries War Boss Thog & Bloodprince Kciredor decided to give it one last chance at success in the Brewers Guild & the Bloodbowl Community. Since it seemed the only teams interested in wearing the brands of the two local Breweries as their sponsors were almost complete rookie squads of BloodBowl teams, it was decided that a Bloodbowl Tournament was to be held on the grounds of the joint Brewery in Niagaroth Falls, with the winner receiving a sponsorship deal from one of the local brands. So it was advertised that the 1st ever Niagaroth Brewery Bloodbowl Open would be held right on the grounds of the Brewery Courtyard (where the idea was formed from the tossing of the poor Goblin???s head). Only rookie Bloodbowl teams need apply. This would be a rookie Brewery looking for the best rookie team to wear their name.
All seemed to be looking bright for the unlikely Brew Masters (Kciredor & Thog) Until the day before the tournament start date the Brewers Guild decided that this would be an opportune time to host a Brewers Convention right on the very grounds of the Niagaroth Brewery Bloodbowl Open Tournament. With Beer tents all around & Beer Wenches handing out fine Ales to all Beer swilling masses from all the beer brands from Nagaroth to Lustria to the Chaos Wastes to the Empire & beyond.
To any other all the publicity would be great for the Bloodbowl Tournament & the Brewery alike, but with the combination of free Beer & Ales Bloodbowl players it was quite possible that the actual tournament became lost in the shuffle & all hopes of fame & fortune for War Boss Thog & Bloodprince Kciredor would be lost.
The Tournament Rules???
All Coaches must bring two rosters to the tournament (must be two different races)
Your starting roster will be a 1,050,000 (50,000 in sponsorship from the Brewers Guild)
Your 2nd roster will be a 1,000,000
All rules will consist of the LRB 5.0 rules.
Game Schedule
When each coach registers his/her two teams they will draw a token to see if their Staring roster plays in the odd number games (1,3,5) or the even number games (2,4,6)
(The reason that coaches have to bring two different teams is that with all the beer distraction no team can stay on the pitch or out of the beer tents for too long.) The starting roster has the extra 50,000 to build the team as a sponsorship deal from a local brewer or the Brewers Guild, while the 2nd teams start with no extra cash (due to the fact that they were not registered for the tournament & only picked up by the coach as a last minute substitute, when their 1st team was off missing in one of the various beer tents getting pissed!)
Skill Progression
Upon registration each coach will randomize one player from each team (one team at a time) & make an upgrade roll for him. Then do same for 2nd team. (Skill or Stat advancements must be made during registration so have a general idea of all the possible outcomes both your rosters can get) An example of the roll could be Player X???s 1st team (Human) player #5 Lineman gets 2+2=4 So he can take any double for a Human Lineman or a normal Human Lineman upgrade. Player X???s 2nd team (Orcs) player #3 Troll gets 5+6=11 So he can give his Troll +1 Agility or a normal Skill Roll for a Troll.
After round 1 is over upon handing in results each coach will make 3 skill rolls for his/her team that played in round 1 only (one at a time) to 3 random players (it is possible that a player could get more than one skill roll or stat upgrade)
The same goes for the teams that played in round 2.
The same goes for the teams that played in round 3.
The same goes for the teams that played in round 4.
So each team will get a total of 7 upgrade rolls after round 3 (for the Odd Teams) & after round 4 (for the Even Teams), where this can be spread out between 7 different players or all used up by one Uber All Star player or somewhere in-between, depending on the players on the roster being randomized.)
(The reason the upgrades are totally random is that either due to the fact that every player on any given team whether it is a lowly Rotter to an impressive Wardancer, wants to someday play in the Big Leagues & they will stop at nothing to get there, or it is due to the fact that some players are so smashed that they are unable to progress in their drunken state.)
Difference in Team Values
If a team with a team value of 105 (1st team) meets a team with a team value of 100 (2nd team) the lower valued team can take either a Bloodwieser Babe or a 50,000 inducement card (but not both) for this match only. If the card is chosen it is a random card from all 4 suits, the player can not chose what suit to pick from due to the fact that the head Coach is not at the game (for he is trying to round up his 1st team for the next game)
Changes to the Kick Off Table
4 = Oh I think I???m going to be sick. Both coaches roll a D3 (do not add any modifiers such as FAME, Coaches, or Cheerleaders) the lower roll is affected, both if a tie. The affected player (randomly chosen) has had just a wee bit too much to drink (if that is even possible for a BloodBowl Player) & he is in a constant state of vomiting. He is treated as having the No Hands Skill, Bone Head, & Foul Appearance for this Drive only.
10 = BLITZED! The Offence sort of start their drive off before the defense is ready. All normal rules to Blitz in the LRB 5.0 apply, except any player wishing to move, blitz or foul must pass a Bone Head Roll to do so. (If they fail the roll they are treated as being Bone Head until they successfully pass a Bone Head Roll on a future turn. (Once a player passes a Bone Head Roll this rule no longer applies. Any player still affected by this rule at the end of the current drive or half snaps out of it.) Players who already suffer from Bone Head, Really Stupid, or Wild Animal are not affected by this rule)
Tournament & the NAF
Rounds 1, 3, 5 will be the N.B.B.O. Cup for NAF Ranking Purposes
Rounds 2, 4, 6 will be the N.B.B.O. Bowl for NAF Ranking Purposes
The overall tournament winner will be the best combined record of all 6 games. (So it is possible let???s say Coach X wins the N.B.B.O. Cup, but does poorly in the N.B.B.O. Bowl, & Coach Y wins the N.B.B.O. Bowl, but does poorly in the N.B.B.O. Cup. But if lets say Coach Z does very well in both tourneys & has the best combined record then Coach Z would be the Tournament Champion (despite not winning either one of the smaller Tourneys).
More to be added later. (Any opinions would greatly be appriciated)

This is definitely thinking "out of the box". Love the fluff. Count me in, Rod. Any excuse to get up to Niagara...err, Niagaroth Falls and beat up on friends. Any chance some of the Bloodweiser Babes will make a personal appearance?

Just came to mind: Will the diffent type of Skills/Ability progressing be accounted for in the difference in TV? I assume so far it does not as it seems pretty cut and dry from your discription. But, just want to check.

No TV will stay the same throughout the tourney no matter what upgrades you get (so either 105 or 100)

Why don't you just be your own odd man out? It's not that hard to organize and play at the same time, unless your as unorganized as Spazzfist is.
I can always help out with the tourney if you end up playing and need some help with running things.

Liking it Rod.
I think this sounds like it should be a bit of a different tournie altogether. Especially as it forces people to play 2 different races, I hate it when someone only ever plays one race, so boring 
I think its apparent from what you say above, but just to check, you can't buy any skills at the start right?
This is straight away a huge difference maker!
Love the fluff, you have to think that all this drinking will separate the dwarfs from the elves
JTB
Clan_Skaven - Jul 08, 2007 - 03:04 PM
Post subject:
No skills bought....
When you register (both teams) they get one random player who gets one random roll.
After every round each team (that played in that round only) gets 3 more random player(s) random rolls.
So going into the 2 final rounds (round 5 for odd teams, round 6 for even teams) each team will have a total of 7 randomly rolled players with 7 randomly rolled upgrades. (it is possibly that a player may have multipal upgrades)
When rolling your 3 upgrades you randomise player first, then you randomise his upgrade roll , you do not make next roll untill that upgrade has been decided.
All upgrade rolls & choices will be infront of the tourney organiser.

I really like it Rod. I like the rules, and the fluff. Nice way of making your tourney that much different from the others.
And we'll get to see Joe play with something other than Orcs 
. I can hear the paint brushes working . Unless he borrows one of Glenn's teams.
Just got back from a one week camping trip in Niagara last week. Man, what a nice region.
I'll do my best to make it to the tourney. I'll keep you updated on that as we get closer to the tourney date.

But you get lots of skills for the second and third game, although on random players. So with Orcs, you run the risk of having your line orcs getting all the skills, and the BoBs getting nothing. Even though Orcs start with lots of skills. While elves start with almost no skills in such a tournament, getting all your random skill on line elves ain't that bad.
Have to think about this some more.

Don't forget it is possible lets say with a Wood Elf team the 7 skill/attribute upgrades could be used up between 2 Line Elves (heck even one player could hog up all 7 skills) just all depends on the luck of the draw.

Yeah, I think you totally cannot rely on the new skills, its a bit random who gets them so you need your lads to be able to put on a good show regardless of the new stuff.
I still expect Glen to get +1 ST on his Troll slayers though, jammy git
Wonder if anyone will manage a double on an Assassin or a bombardier

OK, got a baby sitter lined-up for the weekend, and approval from all interested parties (a.k.a. my wife). And I'll be moved-in my new second-hand house, so I've got my own approval
The Gargaroth Spoilers will make an appearance to one of the two tourneys, not sure who will play in the other yet.
Hopefully at least one other Ottawa person will be going, as I'm not too keen to do the 7 hour drive all by myself. I have a vehicle available for the Ottawa folks to go there and back. Let me know if you want in.

I am pretty keen myself. havent been to Niagara falls. So any trip with me involved would involve swingin by the watery bit at some point
I have ideas for a couple of teams, but not sure yet re the painting.....
so there you are, I'm definitely maybe, probably yes

Sounds kinda complicated. But then again, I'm pretty stupid... No, wait, I'm a genius. I guess it IS kinda complicated...
Otherwise, sounds like fun! Very creative!
My two cents: don't you wish you didn't ask me to 'evaluate' your rules! Sorry, it took so long to get back to you. I just finished my summer course today, and I am planning a soccer tournament this weekend. BTW, you called me the first time during one of the U-20 world cup games -- no wonder I forgot to return you call!
I will be down in your neck of the woods in middle of August for a Bills pre-season game.

Hello all;
Been outta the loop for a while, but I am back and planning on coming up for the tourney.
Cramy, if we drive through the states its only a 5 hour or so drive. Just so you know.

Great news Mark. Yeah, we could go through the states. Will have to think about that. Don't want them to cause a stink there though. I don't think that we need a passport when driving into the states, we only need a passport when flying in. But I do have a passport, and I'm sure that it makes things easier at the border.
Will have to check what the rules are. Anybody else know? Joe, can you check to see if whatever ID you have is adequate, as you probably don't have a drivers license either?
Either way, we'll get there with everybody on board ...

Off hand no, but I will check into it, my computer will be off line for about a week or so.

Thanks Rod. I figured that there would be tons of them. But if you guys can narrow it down to a few good ones that are close (i.e. cheap but clean), then that would be great.

I was about to post that I would be comming when the date sounded way too familiar. Turns out I have plans that date which is a shame as I really wanted to do 2 tournies in one weekend. Maybe next year.

Guys, there are several hotels and motels on Lundy's Lane in Niagara Falls. The only problem is that you will have to drive from them to the Cairn Croft Best Western. It also depends on what you are looking for???? The Travel Lodge and Ramada Corral Inn are nice. The Carriage House is another good one. The Days Inn on Lundy's Lane is good, then there are a list of motels and stuff further down the lane that will probably be a little cheaper but definitely not in walking distance. I will look up some links and post them ASAP!!!!!

Hey Rod,
Are you going to have any special rules for the ogres (year of the ogre and all) , what about goblins and halflings for anyone mental enough to bring them?
Clan_Skaven - Aug 16, 2007 - 03:37 PM
Post subject:
No speacial racial rules for any race.
Just make sure both teams are different races (sure they can be close , like Elf & High Elf) but just have to be actual different races
Also I need you to bring 2 coppies of both rosters, one for me & one for you, of both your teams, so in fact you will be bringing 4 rosters
And as usual all bring your boards & Duigouts as I only have one set.
Spazz as advertisement to your tourney you are welcome to bring some of your custom pictches to the tourney, (just not the boat, Chaos Dwarf Pitch, or any other that may be too abstract.) (& obviously the speacial CoQ rules will not be used for the tourney.)
Any news if the London boys will be attending, I do not have either ones number.

As of right now it's still in the air but a possibility...it may depend on who is going down from Mississauga/Brampton and if there will be a bunch of us sharing on a room and transportation down to the Falls. I will talk to Craig soon and find out.
I will talk to Dave and see if he is coming also. I'll let you know more within the next couple of weeks.

Yep...inducements only I believe.
100GC For the Flings
300GC For anyone else.
I don't get it...but after initially being against the "new" ogres...and now having a blast with them...I'll defer to Tom on this one too.
Cramy - Aug 20, 2007 - 09:41 AM

Yep, 100GC inducement for Flings is the cost for the master chef. One thing in consideration for the next rules change, I believe, is 50GC chef for the flings. And 50GC bribes for goblins.
And I'm in for the tourney.

Or....
2) I can go pay for the rooms Friday in advance, (but if I do this, you better not stiff me on attendance!)

I know I am going to get some heat for this, but how are you going to handle the best painted? Is it going to be the "best team", as is more the trend nowadays? Also, is it going to be a combination of both teams, or one of the teams?

Just my 2 cents for hotel rooms. The Fairway Motor Inn (www.fairwaymotorinn.net) is quite cheap and clean. I am not sure how far it is from the venue (5958 Fallsview Blvd.)

Hi Rod. For the Ottawa guys, just give us the name of the hotel(s) and we can take care of the booking.

Hey Spazz, my plan is to come along. I'll ask glen for your sheet.
My coming may depend on the passport service though as i need it to take the shortcut through the states with Mark and Marc-Andre. Unless they forgive me for making them drive 2 hours longer each way...
Garth, you thinking of coming?

Joe is coming. We'll just take the longer route, and that's fine. So that's three people from Ottawa. Need to take care of lodging, and we're all good to go.
We may try to put Joe in the trunk to go though the US customs. If we get stopped we'll just eject him and claim that we don't know who he is. The good side of this is that it will increase everybody else's chances of winning this tourney.
Garth, if you do plan to go and would like a ride, send me a PM.

The Flamingo is fully booked. So is the Fairway Motor Inn.
The Falcon Inn only has rooms with 1 King size bed and a cot. That's our best bet for now, and it's pretty cheap at less than $150 for the weekend.
Will look at other options now. If anybody has other hotels to suggest, please let us know.

Can you give me an adress or website? I do not recall "The Inn at Lundy's Lane"
Rod
Ok I just found it, http://www.innatlundyslane.com/location/ thats about a twenty minute walk for me to the tourney location, but then again I have the average stride of a Sasquatch & I'm a fast walker. So it may be a half hour walk for you guys. I'd suggest splitting a cab ride (so you can drink during tourney, the room is licensed so you can bring you're own booze in.) Plus a cab to there will cost no more than like $5-$8 (thats before you split it 3 ways) & it should not take you longer than 5 minutes to arrive,

Has anyone event thought of using a camp ground? They are cheap as dirt. here is one 6 mins away from the venue: www.campark.com
A cabin (12 ' ?? 12' - which is 2¼ times larger then the room I stayed in at university ) is $60. Tent lots are even cheaper.

I say that we get the room anyways and make Ben sleep on the picnic table if his falls through! 
EDIT - Y'know Ben, the message you are giving is unclear. It kinda sounds like you want us to not book in case you get a room for you (and you alone), and so we have to wait to hear so that we know whether we will have the honour and privilege of bunking with a TRUE Spike! champion!

Coolio Dan, there is always room in the Shaggon Wagon. As for the Cabin, we'll have to spot anothe $6 for the extra adult, but that is nothing. Forgot to mention that the camp site is within walking distance to a strip club . . . though I do not think it would be better than Brampton `rippers.

Joe, the best time to see the falls would be at night time anyways. The falls are all lit up and look amazing for the first time to see them that way. At 10 o'clock each night the city lets of a fabulous fireworks display over the falls. Don't get me wrong, the falls are amazing when you see them for the first time during the day as well, but for the full effect of one of the wonders, I would say at 10 would be best. Just my 2 cents.

As far as prizes go I'm getting some figures but Majority of prizes are Beer themed!
There will be plaques made after tourney for the winners , but I will mail them to winners with thier name & races represented engraved on them. (So I will need mailing adresses for all winners.
Sportsmanship will be done like this (I know some won't like this system, but this system I think is best. On you're Matc Record sheet I have left you all a space for comments (this is really important to write the sportsmanship of the opponent in.) After Round Six you will rank you're six opponents from best (6) to farthest from best (1) *** a 1 does not mean that you were a poor sport (although it may) it may just mean that you were a great sport, but not as great as the other five. *****IMPORTANT**** you do not rate you're opponents untill after round six (so for those of you with bad memory use the cooments space to record oppont's actions & sportsmanship during game). Also you can only give out one of each of the six (1,2,3,4,5,6) number's so no giving out 2 6's or three 1's, ect..
The person with the Highest total will be best Sportsman (in case of a tie I will make coice) The person with the lowest total will win worst Sportsman & win the "Golden Soother!
Any questions?

When we get to the hotel, I'm assuming that we head to the information desk and ask where the BloodBowl tournament is, and they'll show us the way and not call the cops?

Thanks for running a great tourney Rod. I had lots of fun. Playing with two different teams really added flavour to the tourney.
The location was very good. And the prizes were quite good as well.
An idea for next year. When you selected the odd and even teams, we ended-up with lots of TV105 teams in the NBBO Cup and lots of TV100 teams in the NBBO Bowl. Instead, you could set it up such that the Cup and the Bowl each have half TV100 teams and half TV105 teams. For the selection, you could randomly pick coaches. The first coach gets his TV105 team in the Cup. The second coach gets his TV105 team on the Bowl, then Cup, then Bowl, etc...
Just an idea. The random system that you used was fine as well.
Hope to see you all at the DeathBowl V.

Yeah good work Rod. Great format. Good location. Nice Selection of prizes.
I like Marc-Andre's idea about splitting the teams 50-50 re the ratings. That way everyone should get at least one game with 50k value more and one game with 50k value less.
My wife was dissapointed but not surprised by the pressence of the "Golden Soother".
She is forcing me to display it with my trophies as a reminder!
I think I'll have a soother with me for the Deathbowl.

Thanks for running another tourney within a couple of hours of home, certainly makes it easier to sell to the wife!
As has already been said, I thought the idea of two teams was cool, an certainly saved me from having to play those stupid vampires for all six games! But at least was an opportunity to try something new.
Look forward to seeing some of the pics, and to seeing a lot of you at the Deathbowl!

Great tourney Rod,
As said before good location and good assortment of prizes. I also agree with MArc-Andre about possibly spliting the teams up in each division to make it more even. I loved the fact that there was 2 teams each to give the tourney some flavour and variety.
Again great job.
You guys have a blast at the Deathbowl as I will not be able to attend this year. So I hope to see all of ya at the CCKO in January.

Thanks Rod! Great tourny, even if my record wasn't.
I like the idea of 50/50 on odd and even teams, the chance to use cards in a tourny was great except for the fact my rogue wizard back fired on me. damn you Bongo!

I too like the idea of a more even split, but I think just to make it more random I'd have red & blue tokens (red being odd & blue being even) but I'd toss in two extra of each colour just to randomize things a bit.
So if next year I have again 12 teams have 16 tokens (8 red & 8 blue)
That way it may not be an even split, but still should be a good mix.

Peter Meers beat me in the deathbowl game at deathbowl IV last year.
It shows up as a tie against Rug_Thug though cos he was my direct opponent and only peter scored.

I guess so. My Chi did take a battering in that game, particularly in the first half, ouch!

Awsome tourny, it proved that `Zone are better Humans, atleast in my hands . . . but that is not saying much . . . :-þ
I had a great time, from what I recall between the concusion and alcohol poisoning . . . but Niagra is so much like Ravenloft @ 3 in the morning . . . 20 ft thick fog borders all the towns in that area . . . y'all are NERDS who fullly understood that.
