From a Southern Ontario perspective, the sooner a tourny can be wraped up on Sunday the better. But assuming from the sched. a departure at ~3pm would make for a 9 ~ 9:30 return home. Though knowing that BB'ers are consistantly running late I would account for hitting home more around 11pm. which would stil not be too bad. Beats the 2am return from DBIV and having to work 4 hour later

Schedule usually isn't a big deal for most of us, it seems along the same lines as most tournies which works out well. Glad to see you guys running an event Dan. Will give me an excuse to go to Montreal again, used to frequent there often but haven't in a few years. You guys should hook up with Feral on NAF, he seems pretty keen on doing something out of Montreal as well.
Take it easy,
Adam

Hello hello!
Hope we can get the bun to lift! Don't know if I can do anything but I'd be glad to lend a hand.

Feral, Welcome to the scene, pardon my poor spelling & my large amount of beer comsumption (along with my brass postings!!!!!! It's who I am sorry in advance, P.S. , I'm currently drunk....
I'm from Niagara Falls, Ontario & I know as far as Ontario run tournies I'm the farthest to travle to, (but like all the Ontatrio Tournies I offer a different twist, if you'd like to know more abbout my tourney please just ask me.)
Every Ontario Tourney seems to offer a vast variety of different forms of BloodBowl....
From playing in a 4-Way Death-Bowl round every match, to a tourney where every match you play is on a different pitch with totally different weather & kickoff tables. Also don't forget my tourney were you bring two rosters (each playing 3 games, one games 1-3-5 the other games 2-4-6, but one of your teams has a higher TV than your other/ & so you can gain or give up a 50,000 inducement....
Lets not forget the Bongo Bowl with the ever-chalenging & frustrating Dungeon (spelling) Bowl matches! Then you have the "Lakeside Cup' (quike possibly the best meal you will ever get at a tourney!) With the Lakeside Cup all the Parpicipents (spelling) are divided based on home address geography location to either Team East or Team West. Matches are formed with only East vs West Coaches formed every round. (Peter being from Coburg (spelling) is the odd man out & will at last minute form the final spot of the East or West.... An Excellant tourney indeed!
Also despite a year of absence, If it returns there's the longest running tourney in Canada (Orriginally the Orrion Cup, turned into the Canadian Open! (But last year the Canadian Open was not run.) We can only hope for its return, along with it's record numbers of attendance!)

Schedule looks good, although having a game in 2 hours is tough (unless you plan to use timers).
Do you have a date in mind?
Taxal - Oct 25, 2008 - 07:27 AM
Post subject:
For the majority of us all 2 hours is very doable...3 1/2 minute turns comes up to just under 2 hours (if my math is good).
May 30th / 31st is the date that seems to be perfect for us. Not going to be anything very crazy, but all Halfling teams will get some bonus stuff. Being held by the Halfling community......
Wanted to find something random and fun, but will not change the game too much.....
Pat came up with this random skill and please let us know what you think of it.....
TV 110
no player can have more than three up-grades
all teams can be used (including the three new ones)
random skills
At registration you will pick 2 balls out of a box and those balls will represent two skills that you get for free. There will be no attribute or mutations possible. There will be one ball that will give you any skill you wish.
In between games 2 and 4 each coach will roll the dice to get one more upgrade. This roll will be like in league play, so attributes , mutations , etc etc will be available.
The Halfling community has paid off the wizards to help make sure it stays nice through out the tournament.
Kick-off table will be modified to represent the Halfling lands.
Because all games are taking place on Halfling fields, which are lush green grass. All armour rolls taken will be at a -1 to represent the soft landing. A roll of 11 or 12 will always injure. All injury rolls will stay normal. Any amour rolls taken from being pushed into the crowd are normal.
Again please let us know what you think of this.
Daggers - Oct 25, 2008 - 07:39 AM
Post subject:
K, I tihnk I found my next tourney to bring a halfling team. I feel they would have a slight advantage being it is their own tournament (hahah, yeah right).
Now I just need to find some halfling figs, a treeman, and a Master Chef and I should be all good.

So if I understand this correctly then, the balls will have the skill printed right on them? Interesting....
Is there going to be any incentive for halfling teams?
Taxal - Oct 25, 2008 - 01:56 PM
Post subject:
Yes for sure Halflings will have some incentive. Nothing crazy....working on stuff right now.
As far as the balls go...will probably go with bingo balls or something along that line for the first one.
With TV 110 to build and then getting two more random skills and with two more skills during the tournament I think it will make for some good games.

Mighty Sweetbun!
Brilliant!
I showed the boys back home the data from CCKO 07 and they all loved the mighty sweetbuns name. Loving the theme being continued.
Good luck!

Ok things are starting to move forward and just need everyones imput on the schedule.... the first day is quite simple. The second day is this one good for everyone or would you all rather one hour ahead. that would mean finishing game 6 around 3 instead of 2.
Spazzfist - Nov 08, 2008 - 11:56 AM
Post subject:
Speaking as one of those who would probably be travelling the firthest distance, I opt for the earlier finish.
Cramy - Nov 08, 2008 - 08:03 PM

I prefer earlier as well.
jrock56 - Nov 08, 2008 - 08:52 PM
Post subject:
I don't mind either way to tell you the truth, but for those who must travel back to TO or Niagara earlier may be better. For any of us from the Ottawa area it's only 1 1/2 to 2 hours to get home so not a big deal either way.

Yeah, but the drive home is going to feel a lot longer for you guys as you wallow in your misery and fight to hold the tears back. You might want take a bus as it will certainly be dangerous to be driving while crying like that. You're going home empty handed beeyotch!

Haven't I heard that before....you should stick to focusing on the CCKO as that alone will be a daunting task for you, try not to worry about a tourney that far ahead too many things at once will simply be too much for you to handle Spazz!

.... of a long list of excuses and never-ending tears as to why he didn't win again. Same as every other tournament. With a "Best Painted" and "Worst Sportsman" award thrown in for good measure (assuming Chris W doesn't show up, or he will probably take it again) ;P
Spazzfist - Nov 10, 2008 - 03:16 PM

Yeah that would be hilarious, but I think Pete still remains pretty composed even when drinking, he just seems tired for the most part.
Spazz isn't a poor sport, I'll give him that! and intensity can be a good thing sometimes...the only thing is not everyone wants to hear your rants with yourself about how much you SUCK , the dice aren't fair, the list could go on and on. Can I give you a HINT leave your imaginary friends at home when you come to tournies and you should be okay.

Ummmmm.. you lost me here. Are you taking speech lessons from Joe Michaud? Try forming a complete sentence, you neandrathal! 
For a list that "goes on and on" I would really like to know what it is comprised of. For the record, I do not bitch and moan about dice, and if you think that I suck so bad then why have you never beaten me?
Go back to your kennel pup, before I take a rolled up newspaper to ya!
jrock56 - Nov 12, 2008 - 10:33 PM
Post subject:
Ummmmm.... my speech is fine thank you very much. I didn't know I was taking grammar lessons/English Class when I write thoughts on a forum. What I was saying in plain english since I have to spell it out for you is:
1. Nobody knows who you are talking to when you go off on some random babble. (Or at least that is my take on what comes out of your mouth)
2. I figured you must have some imaginary person you talk to so you can console yourself through your many losses.
3. You are just fortunate to have not stacked up your losses to me at this point in time, but don't worry they will follow in abundance shortly!
As for a kennel, well my bark is obviously louder than yours so why don't you put your tail between your legs and run and hide like a good little doggy!!!!!

Looks like we have a place for the tourney. Another Legion so that way you guys will have a place to drink at for cheap....lol
Its in LaSalle which is a suburb of Montreal. Couple of hotels not to far and will also see what can be done for some of you to stay at different houses/apartments to save a few $$.
Downtown is a 15 minute drive by taxi so that is always a good thing. Hope by end of December to have all the rules up and posted. Eric has kindly agreed to putting a small site up for the Sweetbun (thanks alot Eric).

You are right, I do tend not to listen to you at tourneys, mainly since you love to hear yourself speak. And the flying timer was a bit surprising, almost as much as seeing you throw like a girl. Probably why you aimed for my chest and it almost hit my head.

I slapped together a quick one page website for the time being.
http://rubli.ca/Golden-Sweetbun/
The rules listed, although nicely formatted, are still rough in terms of wording. And unfortunately I saved over the DOC file after I went through it the first time 
Sorry for the rush job Dan but I am swamped with many things and thought I would put up something with the rules before I forget altogether.

This looks pretty awesome! Looking forward to reading more on the parts which have notes which say that more info is required. Can you give me a quick idea though on what the Golden Sweetbun Award is for? Is this for the #1 Halfling coach?

Post subject:
The winner of the tournament will get his/her name engraved on it. I have a buddy of mine sculpting a sweetbun to mount on top (insert Mom joke) of the base.
Am presently working on a trophy for the best stunty team. So that will be any of the stunty teams, not just Flings. Only problem is that only Flings that get the special bonus in the rules.
Any other questions please feel free to ask.

Does that mean the modified armor for the soft ground is for 'glings only. Totally missed that when I read through it, but all the better.

No all teams get that -1 to armour. It at least gives the flings that mighty armour of 7, which I seem to have a harder time to break over 8 or 9.

Hey Clan-Skaven, you are just getting excited at the thought of any "balls idea" available.

Hopefully there will be a couple of Flings showing up. There will be an extra trophy...BEST STUNTY TEAM
Halfling , Goblin , Ogre teams are all up for this one. Trophy is called the Stunty Shield...highest ranked stunty team at the end of the tourney will have their name on said trophy.
Also I will not be playing in the Sweetbun (Pat is the odd man out), but my Fling team The Mighty Sweetbuns will be available to anyone that wishes to play Flings but does not have a team.[/img]

Question for you all....
It looks like there might be a few guys showing up that are not in NAF members. Will something like that make a big difference if you come or not. I am looking at somewhere upto 10.
Dan
Spazzfist - Apr 06, 2009 - 06:06 PM

What is their reasoning for not wanting to join NAF? If it is strictly financial, then Rod is such a ratings whore, that he would probably pay for all 10!

Couple of questions for you Dan:
1) Are star players allowed to get addiutional skills as per the drawing of the balls?
2) If Tom Cruise curses my d6s do I have to consume them (or can I just throw them across the room?)

I like stats and having my games recorded so that I can show them to my grand-kids when I get older.
Really, if the guys are NAF, great. If not, doesn't matter. I play for the fun more than playing to have my results recorder. It's all good in my opinion.

Spazz...of course you'll play halflings, just so you have an excuse for your obscenely poor play and 0-6 record in the end!!! Oh sorry you may get a tie if your lucky enough to play another team of flings.

Hey Taxal you forgot one thing to mention about playing flings...and that is that they don't go SQUISH!! under my boot. That goes double if your name is Spazz of course. Quite the score to settle with him still.

Ok so all the prizes have arrived, the sweetbun dice also and the BEST STUNTY TEAM (Halfling,Ogre,Goblin) award is good to go. My brother has started to carve out the ten plaques and build the the GOLDEN SWEETBUN , SPANKING and PARTY ANIMAL trophies as we speak. Everything is really moving along and looking forward to the end of May. First though you all have to go and play at the Q'ermitt this coming weekend. Wish I would have been able to make it, but alas it was not to be this year.

Giving some thought about coming out for this one just to give Scared Hitless another shot on the pitch. One issue is I am planning on going to the Toronto Nationals game the night before (Major League Lacrosse has come to Canada!!!! . . . and I jizz'd in my pants ). Maybe I will take Spazz to the game and travel up soon afterward

The fact that Eric jizzed in his pants over a Lacrosse team is a cause for concern. And Spazz, I thought you would be happy he did it in his pants, instead of the back of your mouth. ZING!!

Question for anyone out there planning on coming to the Sweetbun.
Does anyone have any food allergies or any limitations toward food.
Also once you know that its a sure thing you are coming if you would be able to register so I can figure out how much food to make.
Thanks

If you don't have alot of space, I don't mind getting a hotel room, especially if it is within walking distance. Send me the info and I will talk with the folks in Ottawa as to what people prefer.

Eric your not going to sleep in the car, especially when you can just crash at my place. The only problem that we have is any hotels/motels are not in walking distance. Depends how this one turns out, next year might look at heading towards the downtown core were hotels/bars and the tournment would all be close.
will be able to fit about 6 - 8 at first glance. Might be able to go up to 10 with a bit of furniture moving. Anything to help you all out to keep more money for beer. There are a couple of bars within walking distance from my place and hotels are a quick 10 minute taxi/car ride from them. Any bars downtown are about a 20 minute taxi ride from my place.
So it will be first come first serve for my place.....
1.Craig
2.Mark
3.Eric
4.Glenn
5.Adam
6.Mike
7.Marc-Andre
8.

The car thing is going to be due to the fact that I will most likely be at the lacrosse game in Toronto the night before, making my departure time . . . maybe around 9:30 ~ 10:00 pm so I would be in the area at 4:00 am and there is no point in waiting up for me. Though judging from the last tourney maybe y'all will still be up at that point

Great, thanks a lot Dan.
I'd like to reserve a spot for Glenn, Adam, Mike and I (as Mark already has a spot reserved).
At this point this is the Ottawa crew that I know of.

I believe Cramy has it right thus far Dan. If you have the space that would be great if it ends up too cramped some of us can stay at a hotel/motel whatever is close and somewhat inexpensive. There may be a few more yet from the Ottawa area as well so stay tuned.
@ Dan/Patrick Go G-MEN tomorrow in the Draft baby!!!!! I feel a playmaking receiver headed our way!

Sounds good Dan, thanks for the space. Let us know what we need to bring so I can ask Marc-Andre to borrow whatever it is. ;P If not, I am sure we can find a hotel no problem.
I just realized the tournament is in four weeks, and two of the next three weekends are booked up. So I guess I will be working on the Halflings during the week. I could have swore I had more time to work on them. The Iron Chefs will be ready to rock come tournament day.

It is not looking good for me at this point. My schedule is pretty rough for the next week (between work, playing Lacrosse in Brampton twice that week and some social obligations) that I may be reaching a burn out by that weekend making my mental and physical state questionable. If I do end up coming it will be a last minute thing and you'll now the answer Saturday morning.

Hey gents, hope your all doing well and to see a few of you out at the Sweetbun in about 2 weeks. Looks like there will be a decent showing at the tourney from what I've heard. We may need a second vehicle just to get all of us from Ottawa there as it looks like 6 to 8 of us will make it out for this.
Take it easy, see you all shortly.

Hey Dan, quick question. The -1 armor roll modifier for the soft ground, is that for ALL armour rolls? I assumed blocks, dodging/falling and TMM I can see, but fouling as well?
Taxal - May 24, 2009 - 02:53 PM
Post subject:
No not on fouling because your already on the ground and its more like your being kicked and the not falling on the ground. So everything other than fouling gives you a -1 armour roll.

Finally able to get back on......don't have net anymore at home and cannot get on at work. So had to come my sisters place to be able to get the messages. Just got word that Lea and Colin are for sure to come in and they might be coming with a new player. Spazz and Eggball really sucks that you guys cannot make it.It actually looks like no one from the T.O. area will be coming down. Oh well next year I guess. See you all in a few days.

Ok the Sweetbun is over and Pat and myself would like to say a big thank you for everyone that came out to it. We were 12 players and it was some interesting times. I played but was not able to win any of the trophies. The final standings are as follows......
1. Dan Chaput
2. Marc-Andre
3. Nathan
4. Colin Keillar
5. Adam Jones
6. Pat Gilbert
7. Mark D'agostino
8. Manu
9. Andrew
10. Pyt
11. Leathan
12. Peter
Yes you see that right boys...Leathan is 11th. He used my Halfling team and well he had fun at least....lol. Thanks to the top three tables having ties in the last 2 rounds and us in the middle having wins it gave us the chance to get to the top. I have never seen that many ties before in any tournament.
Again thank you to all, hope you all enjoyed it.
Dan
ps: WARNING!!!!! making chilli for everyone for lunch is not a good idea.....man stench was quity interesting at my place Saturday night and Sunday at the hall

Thanks from me as well Dan. For hosting an awesome tourney and for letting us crash at your place. Thanks to all my opponents for some awesome, if not stressful games.
Damn, I fell too 7th all because of my painting. Oh well, I knew I wasn't going to finish them, but still wanted to bring them anyways. I will say, in my defence, my ranking does not nearly do justice to the fact that I was in the running for three more trophies but missed by the narrowest of margins.

We would like to thank Dan & Pat for hosting the tournament, Colin for getting us back to the highway, and all the other great players we met there for giving us a great reception; we really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you guys again soon.
The only thing that I might change would be that the sportsmen ship scores be done at the end; since you can only hand out one "3" score, it was hard for me to decide who was going to get it when I still had games to play, but that is just my 2 cents.

Bjorn, really glad you made the trip hope you can make it out again for some more tourneys.
Dan, can you list the final points for the standings, I am just curious how close it was with the final standings.

jrock56 - Jun 01, 2009 - 08:35 PM

The difference being that Dan from the beginning wasn't taking any trophies so Marc-Andre ended up in 1st and so on down the line.
@ Dan&Pat Thank you for hosting was good times as always my fellow Giants comrades. Besides Dan pulling off the biggest miracle 6 run on dice I have ever seen to cause a tie in our game and end up costing me 1st place you bastard!!! 3 sixes rolled in a row then a single die kapow (another six basically) everything went very well. Just kidding buddy I would have tried the same thing but it wouldn't have worked lol. Thanks for having us at your place too bro...too many f**ked up movies while drinking but it's all good. Sunday morning was a little rough but besides the chilli farts I could manage.
@ Nathan&Andy glad you guys came out man, you should fit right in the tournament scene with a bunch of us if your willing to make the trip on occasion. Take it easy, hope to see you out soon.
Was probably the closest tourney I have ever been a part of for sure, going into the last game 9 of the 12 participants had a chance to win the whole tourney as there were so many ties throughout. (Thanks again Dan ) Was really fun but intense and stressful at the same time as you were never really out of it. Kudos to Mark D playing halflings and not even having a loss all tourney 2 wins and 4 ties with them is a feat in itself.
Take it easy all and hope to see many of you for the Lakeside Cup towards the end of July.
Adam

Best way to predict is to look at the records of the guys you want to catch.
#1 halfling coach has a 9-0-4 record. (this is W-T-L)
However, some of the wins were at a big event therefore worht more!

Guys wish to say a big sorry for the seriously long delay on putting up the results. Combination of PC problems and personal problems just made it really hard to input them. I have put them in and just need Joe to make a quick one over on them to make sure they are all good, then the button gets pushed and all will be good.
Sorry again and see you all in a few weeks for the Lakeside.
ps: still have Sweetbun dice from the tourney and I am willing to trade a set of custom dice from any tournament for a set of Sweetbuns. Will also be selling a set for 5$ if anyone wants one.

Hey, I ain't much better, thats why I find it so ironic that I did well with halflings, but suck with Wood Elves, Norse, Skaven..... etc etc etc.
Hey, you might be last with High Elves, but you still beat me with my Wood Elves, so atleast you beat someone.
