Oh la la ! Mais oui ! Bonjour !

A Blood Bowl tourney in a French neighborhood? Yes sir! Oui monsieur !

It's the Four Nations Cup! To be held at Le Chevalier gaming store, located at 516 Boul. Lacombe, Repentigny J5Z 1P6 (20 minutes East of downtown Montreal), on October 5 and 6.

Popol le Bleu is the official wizard of the Ligue des Quatre Nations, our tabletop league. Having fizzled a couple of fireballs lately, he was estranged from many of our teams, who'd rather hire the famous Perry Â«The WizardÂ» Lamarre (ask for the inside at the tourney...!)

Wanting revenge, he decided to put on the Four Nations Cup, where he plan to wreck havoc on the pitch!

Here are the rules for this NAF sanctionned tourney:

- Five games of Blood Bowl, Swiss style, on two days and fun to remember all your life!
- CRP rules;
- All CRP teams, plus three additional approved teams for NAF play;
- Painted teams only (though no points for painting them... but make an effort!)

TEAM CREATION:

- 115 Starting TV, minimum of 11 players, Star players, Apo and skills (bought at regular price) allowed;
- No limitations on number of REGULAR skills per player (no doubles!!) at start of tourney;
- On last rule: that means if you want a Mighty Blow, Piling On, Guard, Grab, Tackle human blitzer on your team, you can. But he needs to fit within 115 TV;
- This a resurrection tourney, but players value increase with skills;
- Inducements possible (because of value increase);

FOUR NATIONS CUP SPECIAL RULES:

- Popol le Bleu, estranged wizard of the Four Nations League, is mad and wants to disturb the league's first tourney, hence he'll be available to each team for one use throughout the tourney (meaning: everybody gets one use of a wizard whenever he wants during the tourney);
- After each game, each coach selects a player on his team, than roll on the skill increase table;

TARDY RULE:

- If you arrive before the scheduled start time you will receive a small reward for each day
- Saturday will give you a skill change, usable after either one of the Saturday games (you thought Tackle would be usefull on that lineman but would rather go with Block instead? Go ahead!);
- Sunday will give you 2 free fan factors

AWARDS:
- 1ST , 2ND , 3RD
- Most TDâ€™s
- Best Defense
- Most CASâ€™s
- Best team
- Most sporting
- Tourney MVP: after each game, you select an opposing player who was the MVP of the game. At the end of tourney, players who get the most votes wins this.

EXTRA RULES
- There will be no overtime, all games finish after the 16 turns EXCEPT FOR GAME #1 OF ROUND #5. This one needs a winner.
***(EDIT) OVERTIME RULE:***
- CRP rule for OT, except that receiving team sets up first

I certainly can make an English one from your first post. I won't be volunteering to write any French ones:-(

I don't think i can make it this year. I'm home with kids right now (ages 1 and 3 today!)
Should be easier next year. Also all the English grandparents are threatening to visit in
October

What's the schedule for both days? I saw that registration is at 8:30, but what's the rest?

More to the point I guess is; what time will we finish on Sunday?

SBG - Sep 04, 2013 - 11:32 AM
Post subject:

We will have three games on Saturday and only two on Sunday.

I'm aiming at finishing the last game on Sunday at 3:30 pm. So basically, between 4 and 5, everybody has left!

Message of interest:

If you kinda know that you're coming, I'd appreciate that you register! Smile

because I will be ordering some extra food, but not THAT extra!

So don't hesitate ! I'm sure the venue, the food, the prize, the wizard and the fun we'll have will be worth your 50 bucks!

Would love to make it out for this Fred, especially since we are so close to you guys. Unfortunately I could not get out of working this weekend as I have Deathbowl in just 2 weeks time as well. Hope you guys have a great 1st Tourney and some of the Ottawa crowd will make it up there. All of you are welcome to attend Deathbowl in 2 weeks should you be able to come to Ottawa for the weekend of the 19th-20th, we would love to have you. If not I'll hope to see you at a tournament soon. Take care and good luck with your tourney,

Adam

Good luck Fred, embrace the chaos that will ensue.

@jrock: do you think having the tourney earlier in september would help the Ottawa crowd? Is it too close to Deathbowl?

It may help some of the Ottawa crowd to make it, for myself it normally wouldn't matter as I like to attend as many tournaments as possible. Having just gotten married and gone on a honeymoon doesn't allow for a lot of flexibility at work to get more time off Very Happy

. There is also another tournament in Niagara Falls in September anywhere from mid to the end of the month. Tough to please everyone regardless when you host it. Do what works best for you and we will usually try to work around it.

Good luck with the tourney!

Just a word on results: for reasons unknown, I can't do it myself, so Dwarfrunner will be doing so in the next couple of days. Been hitting my head on the wall for a couple of weeks on this...

Sorry all!
