Important Location Change: 30780 N. Greenbriar rd, Franklin, MI 48025 Flyingdingle has offered to let us use his house for this tourney. It should be a little closer for our Canadian friends and unfortunately a little farther for our Indiana friends. He has also offered to let people sleep over during the tourney but I will let him decide on how many and who.

5 games over 2 days

The new competition rules with the 3 NAF approved teams with the following

exceptions:

The kick-off table will be provided by us.
Weather will be set by the top table. Any changes will immediately be applied to the other tables. Even in mid-turn. There will be a special weather chart used in this event.
Only blocking casualties will count toward Most Casualties
Team value is 150. Build your best team by purchasing players and skills. The team must have a minimum of 11 players, excluding star players, and can include the following inducements:
Star player 0-1 (Stunty teams can have 0-2)
Bloodwieser Babes 0-2
Wandering Apoth 0-2
Halfing Chef 0-1
Bribes 0-3
Cards 50k and 100k. Only the cards provided by the TO will be used. These will be drawn new before each game. Use them this game only. New cards are drawn at the start of each game. All 50k cards are shuffled together and should be returned to the Organizer after the game. The same goes for the 100k cards.
Skill purchasing
Skills, doubles, and stat increase can be given per their cost.
Four of a skill may be given to the team at max. Example: Only four players may gain the Block skill.
Each stat (MA, ST, AG, AV) can only be purchased 1 time for the entire team. You can purchase multiple stat increases on the same player.
Only six skill/stats can be given to a player
You may use any fantasy football models. If using custom figures, please find a way to maximize your opponents recognition of your players. Color rings on the bases is recommended.
Last years returning champion will receive the "I love this game" promotional support. Ryan M. will have a free reroll throughout the tourney. In the event that our current favorite is not available, a previous returning champion will receive this: Jason K. followed by Jeremy M. followed by James T.
There will be a custom pitch used in this event. The rules for this will be gone over at the tournament.

There will be a unique kick off table which will tend to reduce turns per half and reduce the number of rerolls available to speed tourney play. Not unsimilar to previous Chromatic Cups.

This will be dubbed the "Tournament of Champions". Bring your best team and watch your opponent dismantle it. This years theme is Gladiatorial.

There will be another charity raffle for the Fallen Heroes Fund. I thought that last years raffle went really well so as soon as we collect $350 we will add a second painted team to the raffle and all tickets will be eligible to win the team of their choice. One of the teams is the Legio Dwarf (roman gladiators) painted by John. He is the one that painted the team last year. The other team was donated by Gaspez- Arts. It is this http://gaspez-arts.com/?go=store&cat=75 team (dark elves) being painted by Valdric. Anyone wishing to donate items to be given out at the raffle would be greatly appreciated. I would like to collect more than the $600 that we did last year. We may also do some fun things between rounds to help raise more money. Assuming I can come up with some ideas.

We are going to be giving away some big guy's as situational prizes. These will be specific prizes for specific situations. These are still being worked out but there will be a list before the tourney in case you want to gear your team towards these.

There will be some rules in place that may upset the normal expected balance of the game. If you are that worried about your NAF ranking, I would recommend bringing a team that you don't care about for your NAF ranking. One example is this, on each side of the gladiatorial pitch will be knife or other damaging object available to be used. That is your little teaser for this event. As usual for our tourney's, you won't know everything until you get there. That's what makes it fun.

You and any others who would like to are welcome to crash at my place. The caveat is that i'm a little over and hour from the venue.

Hey Dingle, you're killing the after tourney stuff with all these offers. If Tom A. makes it he will be wanting to do some demos of his new game. A few of us kind of got the quick and dirty at Frozzty.

This is moot if you are sticking around afterwards. Be sure you have a designated driver. I am feeling particularly more evil this year.

Yeah, I'd love to stay around for gaming, but part of Ryan and my deal with the wives is being home to put munchkins down. People can always drive separately, show up later to crash at the house after gaming. Or, just move all the after gaming/drinking to my house.

Please note that there is an important location change. A great many thanks to Flyingdingle for opening up his house for this tourney.

Let me know who plans on crashing at my place. Just bring a sleeping bag and a towel. Blowup bed would be good too.

Will you be providing blow up dolls? Or do we need to bring those ourselves?

Post subject: Who's Attending?

I would like to get an estimate for those planning to attend so I know how much food I need to get. The venue is awesome. Everyone should be able to walk away with something from this tournament. Again this year, there will be some paper pitches available. Those are almost worth the price of admission by themselves. The Champion board will be based on cardboard again this year by Delevus.

So far:

Delevus
Flyingdingle
Falcon
Matie
unholyjedi
Spazzfist
Krannix
Roger Sr. +1
Roger Jr.
Boshka
underratedsuperstar
Mike
Brando +1
jrock?

I will be sure to plug your tourney (like I plug Dan's mom) at the Q'ermitt - I am sure that I can get at least one or two more.

I appreciate that Spazz. Please lets keep it to under 30. There was a Stimme that was interested in this. He is in Toronto.

Spazzfist - Apr 19, 2012 - 03:10 PM

I am assuming you mean under 30 people. If you meant the age of your sexual partners, I am sure you would have said "keep it under 12"! Laughing

Would like to at some point, but wife is gone so not this year. Probably can get Hickling and Gord to go, they seem to be travelling Blood Bowl boyfriends.

Post subject: Raffle announcement.

I have an announcement on the painted teams. The legio dwarf team will not be offered this year due to unforeseen circumstances. That's the bad news.

The great news is that Mike (manager) from the Rochester,Mi Games Workshop store is painting up a Savage Orc team to add to the list. As an additional incentive, if we collect more than $600 we will auction off Mike's services to paint a team for you. (You supply the miniatures). More information will be available at the tourney.

With everything that is being auctioned off this year, I think we should be able to break the $1000 limit for the Fallen Heroes Fund.

In advance, I would like to personally thank Mike (Valdric), Mike (the manager for Games Workshop), and Gaspez Arts for their support this year for the auction.

I think "a lot" is pushing it, but I am still trying to figure things out.

Talk to Adam, he seemed interested, Hickling too maybe. By "a lot" I mean 4. For this group that is alot.

Post subject: RE: Re: RE: Re: Who

In Niagara Falls this weekend with the wife and I'm headed to Montreal next Thursday for the day but seeing as the tourney is a lot closer than it normally would be I would really like to attend. I wouldn't arrive likely until late in the evening as I work that day but will do my best. Will know more around Wednesday of next week I think. Will talk to Hickling as well to gauge his interest.

While you are in the Falls, pick up Rod and bring him with.

Was in the Falls this past weekend so that won't work lol. Tried to get in touch with him but didn't hear back. It's looking a little more "iffy" for me attending now as much as I would like to. Popped the question to my girlfriend in the Falls and spent a lot of money in the process so don't know if I can swing another trip this weekend...will see though there is always a chance Very Happy

As long as the threesome includes another female I'm down Razz

I received the answer I was expecting and it turned out exactly as planned Very Happy

Thanks Colin!

PS ...that female cannot be Dan's mom either by the way, as I could just hear the comments Rolling Eyes
