Just booked the Montgomery Legion @ 330 Kent Street Ottawa for next years CCKO.

Mostly things will be the same as last year. A new version of the tournament rulebook is being looked at. It should be available online next week.
There will be a fun prized draw for preregistration.

I have updated the webpage. So feel free to registar you team. I am just waiting on Joe for the Comprehensive Rules file for this year. Although, he did mention that nothing significant is changing.
@Joe: Anything you want changed let me know ASAP.

I did manage to find it in the previous year's CCKO postings, and have registered now.
I am not pulling "a Piddles" and waiting to the last minute to announce the team I am planning on bringing, but I really just need to do some work to get some ideas of what some of the teams might look like and take it from there. Right now am tempted to bring back the chaos dwarves, but am also looking to bringing a new team - maybe amazons or dark elves... Like I said have to do the math and see what is feasible.

Alright... after looking at the rulebook it occured to me that there really is only one choice for me to take as a team - one that I started long ago and never finished. It is also the one that will be the inspiration for one of the Q'ermitt boards I wanted to make.
Put me down for Necro - "The Forgotten Grimms"

I will be most likely be bringing a new team that I do not normally play or would consider playing, (but it's Death-Bowl & in my Opinion the best BB tourney out there! Besides I may as well try for a best Team award again....... "Me 'N' Spazz in head to head running for it again?")!!!
I will say this: Many of you (if not all will be included in roster names or team fluff! Those of you who know my intentions or have an idea, I ask you to keep my team's race & identity a secret.
Thankyou.
I'll be bringing out the Greenstuff shortly for the many conversions.....
But if I do not bring this new team I speak of, i'll bring Lizardmen or Skaven....

BTW Eric, when you have a moment can you change my info on the tourney registry? Appreciate it.

Sorry i got confused when i read this the first time, thought you were talking about deathbowl.
but anyway,
1) Regenerate is never different at tournies in Ottawa
2) Raise dead only works at the end of the game and this is a reset tournament so no extra zombies for you sir.
BTW no clue on the website
hope this helps

Is that another rule that changed? Because it was always something that happened right away. I know, because I have on more than one occassion been on the receiving end of a casualty caused by a player who was playing for me at the start of the game!
Checking the rulebook....
EDIT - (from pg 17 of the rulebook)
If a player from the opposing team with Strength 4 or less that does not have Regeneration or Stunty is killed during the match (after any Apothecary attempt if any) then the team may immediately place a new zombie model in the Reserves box of their dugout (this may cause the team to have more than 16 players for the remainder of the match).
So up to you on whether you are allowing this, but it is a possibility in tourneys.

it is a big section of red in my lrb5 so it is a rule that changed and it is different to my memory.
you can raise the dead once per game with your necromancer.
Quote:
Instead of purchasing an Apothecary, Necromantic and Undead
teams use the services of a Necromancer. The Necromancer is
free to the team and allows the team once per a match to ???Raise
the Dead???. If a player on the opposing team with Strength 4 or
less that does not have Regeneration or Stunty is killed during
the match (after Apothecary attempt if any) then the team may
immediately place a new Zombie player in the Reserves box of
their dugout (this may cause a team to have more than 16
players for the remainder of the match). During Step 5 of
Updating Your Team Roster (see page 29), you may add this
player to your roster for free if you have less than 16 players on
the team. A free Zombie still counts at full value towards the
team value
p.s. so this means make a zombie
p.p.s. i wish i had know this at bongo, i would have been out for all sorts of blood!!!

That doesn't sound right either, because when I played on FUMBBL which uses LRB 4, I remember the zombies going directly into the reserves box when a player was killed, and it was always a race-specific zombie (i.e. a skaven killed would become a skaven zombie) for that one game, after that game they always looked more generic.

Who says FUMMBLE is perfect. Or even worth wasting time on?
From LRB4:
The spell may only be cast on players of roughly human size (ie,
not on large monsters like Ogres or Trolls, or small players like
Halflings or Goblins). The new player has standard Zombie
characteristics no matter what his skills or abilities in life, and
may only be added to the Undead team if it has fewer than 16
players at the time. If the Undead player has a spare Zombie
model available then the new player may be placed in the
Reserves box of the Undead team???s Dugout and used
immediately ??? much to the consternation of his former teammates!
The rule has not really changed for LRB5 only the locaion of rules.

I think most tournaments will still use LRB5 next year. So will we.
The three new teams are allowed, I think most tournaments will allow them now.
you can find the rules for the Slann, Underworld and Chaos pact in the downloads section.

In case people are wondering the rules are LRB5 with the new teams but NOT the experimental rules.
Expect the experimental rules which get approved to be used in 2010 at tournaments rather than 2009.

That is BS; unless the the following teams are added as well:
First Edition:
- The Albion Wanderers - Bretonnian
- Werewolves
- Chaos All-Stars I & II
- The Heroes of Law - Humans, Elves, Dwarves & Halfling
- The Evil Gits - Evil Hobgoblins, Evil Orcs, Evil Half-Orcs and Evil Dark Elves [sic]
Second Edition:
- Champions of Death - Skeletons
- The Chaos All Stars
- Underworld Creepers - Skaven & Goblin
- Mongrel Horde
Oh, sorry . . . was having flash backs to an argument that took place some monthes ago.
Sorry to interrupt. Please return to the regularly scheduled tourney talk . . . and have a good time. Sorry I had to miss it.

Other than that you can all expect to be mauled by my werewolves, feasted upon my ghoul, disemboweled by my wights and by the time it is all over your team will be calling my zombies brothers, as your players join the ranks of the walking dead! Muahahahahaha!
On a more hey-diddly-ocious level, Peter Meers just sent me an e-mail trying to get a ride, so it looks like he will be coming out as well. But he will just be one more victim to the Forgotten Grimms!

Hey Spazz...your teams name is quite suitable for your style of play. Forgotten ie. left behind, needle in a haystack, can't remember when he ever had game to begin with.
Glad a few of you guys can make it out, hope it's not -40 with the wind next week though. Not that that will make the beatings any less vicious but at least then you can get away to lick your wounds.

The only thing that you will "forget" is the fact that I have faioled to beat you befor this tourney. After the beating I give you, you will be reeling from it for many tourneys to come. The other part of my team's name will describe the beating I give you: "Grim".

Should be good times as always, am excited to get some Bloodbowl in, it's been a while. Who all is coming? Only 10 people registered right now...I'm sure there will be at least a few more than 10.

I am still waiting to hear from Rob whether he was able to get the time off, and Chris Poynter is still a possibility as well.
As promised, here is a link to the team that I am bringing:

It won't be the same without you Galons!
I will point out though, that i didn't play last year and you still didn't win lol
Adam, I am pretty sure there will be more than 10 players. a few other folk has said they are coming to me, like Steph, Chris and Alex, I think Rob too all in Ottawa.
So I believe 16-20 will be our numbers unless we get bad weather and travellers get put off.If there are 10, then me and glenn will play to make it 12 anyway.

p.s. i found the draft grades. If i get over this cold and all the jobs i am applying to i will post it before sat

So keeping my eyesd on the weather stations and things seem like they should be okay for tomorrow. The weather is calling for some very light snow in the GTA with a greater chance of more snowfall in the Ottawa area. Has anyone heard any different? I am very reluctant to travel in bad weather....

-4 Celcius, light snow, almost no wind.
And as far as I can tell, the snow should end before end of day. So you might not get any snow at all while driving.

Yeah.... you just want me there so you can beat on me! My safety is not an issue when it comes to your NAF ranking!

LOL, Where has your confidence gone to Spazz? Although sometimes misplaced you normally still have some. I guess Marc-Andre has that effect on people. Weather does look like it will be okay tomorrow, we are due for some snow tonight but, the temperature is supposed to drop over the weekend again with very little to no snow forthcoming. If you can handle the sub zero temperatures you should be good to go, safe drive in and I'll most likely see you tomorrow night.

I would be more worried about the weather passed Cobourg as you approach Bellville. They get some crazy weather in those parts during the winter months.

Just trying to lull you lot into a false sense of security!
Seriously though, I have played a couople of games with this team and I do not get them. I see how similiar they are to the Undead team and I did just fine with them, but cannot get my head around these guys.
My only hope is that I play Fred (SBG) as he says that he has never been able to beat necros, so I can play on the curse card with him, and then Li'l Pup, as this guy is a chump - I can beat him no problem!
Be grateful to Mr. Meers boys, 'cuz if it were not for him I do not think that I would want to be making this trip alone. I will be picking him up in Couburg aroound noon, and should see you guys in the late afternoon.

Great stuff eggball! gotta love what the slann can produce on the field of glory!!
I think we should be getting a good ottawa turnout, so its nice that at least one of those southern ontario whipping boys is coming over to recieve his medicine
Still sick, that is why pre production has been slack this time. Sorry about that. Will make up for it, hopefully..........
The trophies are looking excellent as always. There may be a couple of new ones for this year too, so even more incentive for everyone!!!
Spazz, i assume you are crashing at Glenns? I know he is more than happy for all folks to crash there.
If you want more laid back I think dwarfrunner will be available as a host too, pm him or me.
get your dice rolling hands warmed up boys and girl!!

Alright ladies! Spazz if leaving the building! (The building in this case being my home). I have a last minut ringer coming up with me, and between the two os us and Flanders we should strip you boys of all the trophies (except the spoon, the Pup can have that!) to take back southwest where they belong!
Mark - got the message about the flagellant pieces - will get those right now.
See you in a few hours!

Thanks tgo all for the CCKO experience! Thanks to Joe and Glenn for putting on a good show (as always) and thanks to Pat for giving me the besxt laugh of th weekend with his swearing at Tom Cruise at the top of his lungs when his dice failed him! Not to mention that he swallowed the dice when it rerolled the one!
Good times!

Great tournament guys. I want to thank Joe for a well run tournament and Glenn for giving up his bed for my poor injured body. Most of all I want to thank everyone there ass you all help me out with getting me items, food, drinks and also getting around.
It just proves that the bloodbowl community is not just people getting together for a tournament and only cares about winning ( like some fantasy and 40k tournies I have attended) but it is more like an extended family where we care and help each other. Again thank you all and hopefully I will have full use of all my body at the next tourney.
I had a great time and seeing all of you helped my recovery process.
See you all soon.

Yup! With a beer chaser!
We joked with him that when he craps it out he will look in the toilet to find the dice floating in a turd with the "1" facing him!

HAHAHAHA!!! That is too funny Spazz, classic! Still can't believe he swallowed the dice I've seen plenty of reactions to bad dice rolling mostly involving throwing them somewhere but eating one is definitely new LOL Great times as always Gents, thank you to everyone involved, love the comraderie of the tournaments.
I would also like to second what Shadowseer2005 aka. Dan was saying as well. Just glad you were able to make it out Dan, wish you good luck with everything going on with your back and hopefully you will be able to get that rectified sooner than later. Take care man. When it comes down to it that is what brings people out to tournies, I count a lot of you friends now who I didn't even know a year ago. If I had known how fun the tournament scene was I would have been playing years ago but just glad that it has seemed to blossom over the past year and a bit. Just my 2 cents worth anyway,
Take it easy all and hope to see you at a tourney soon, lates

Good job Joe! I see that the rankings are up already for the tourney! A+ for speed!
[I am more than a bit dismayed, however to see that my necros ended up with the same record that my halflings did at the Deathbowl a few years back! Oh the humanity! But I have to say that any of the games (with the exception of the last one), really could have gone either way and I could have tied or won if my luck was a bit better. I know it is a poor coach who blames dice, so me a poor coach then! But honestly, I thought that "7" was the most common number rolled on two dice, not "4"! I rolled a crazy amount of 3+1, and Marc Andre noticed at least four doubles 1's on our game. <sigh> Nuffle hates me.....
But I did enjoy playing the necro, so people can expect to see me with them again at another tourney! Maybe with a bit of luck those wolves' claws can start breaking through some armour!

What are you saying Joe? That I didn't deserve it, I am only an ass to you, everyone else I love playing. You just like to dish it out, but can't take it back. Wuss.
Great job to you and Glenn, awesome time. And thanks to all my opponents for some great matches. I have to agree with Dan and Lil Pup, the tourneys are just as much about seeing and catching up with friends as they are about playing Blood Bowl, and that is what makes it so fun. Obviously winning makes it more enjoyable, but that I have yet to prove (ugh). See everyone soon, and rest assured, no more Dwarves or Wood Elves for me.
