First round will be random - after first round it will be Swiss pairings.

Things to bring
Copy of Competition Rules(CRP)/LRB6
Field/Dugouts/Templates
3 Copies of team roster with 100k progression each round added
Dice(decide before game on set to use for the entire game for both coaches)

Points
Win -- 60 pts
Tie -- 25 pts
Loss -- 10 pts
No overtimes will be played
Placing is decided by total points

Casualty Rules
Only casualties caused by blocks/crowd/fouling will count. Failed dodge/gfi/landing do not count.

Race Rules changes:
All stunty teams(Ogres, gobbos, flings, lizzies minus saurus and underworld minus skaven) will receive an extra 100k to build their team. All three expansion teams are allowed.

Team Builds
1 mil team build (players, rerolls, fanfactor, all inducements allowed) Let me know ahead of time if you plan on using cards so I can have them available. Your card will change after each round that it is used.

After team is made:
Before round 1: Add 100k to the team
Before round 2: Add 100k
Before round 3: Add 100k
Before round 4: Add 100k
Before round 5: Add 100k

This money can be anything that could normally be bought(players/rerolls/inducements/coaches/ff/cheerleaders/apo) and upgrades may be purchased for players as well. No player may recieve more than one upgrade per round(you could have 5 on one player by round 5, but not on round 1). Money may be "banked" from round to round. No player may recieve more than two of the same stat upgrade. Rerolls bought after initial team build do not cost double. Each player will add this 100k to their roster for each round prior to round one. Please note on your roster the round skills are added. The excel spreadsheet that allow additions of skills 1-5 is preferable.

Note: You may bank the money from one round to the next. So, you could save all your money from the first round and use the 100k from the next round to buy a 200k star that will remain on the roster for the rest of the tourney. You will just be handicapped on the first round and there will be no inducements added if there is a Team Rating differential due to banking money. You may not bank any money from the original 1mil roster construction. You must start with a rulebook legal roster including 11 players. This could include star players.

New skill 20k
Skill available on double 30k
+MV, +AV 30k
+AG 40k
+ST 50k

Other Stuff:
Apo will work normally as per the standard ruleset other than it may also be used on crowd casualties.

Special Effects:
Detroit Industrial Sludge: Before each game, you will roll up a random player on your opponents roster that will then be given a random mutation. Chaos Pact, Chaos, Nurgle, Underworld team will do this twice. If the random player already has the random mutation, then roll a new random mutation(example: Snow Troll can't have a second claw, slann can't have long legs twice) These mutations will be removed after each game and rerolled with your opponent before the next game. After selecting the random player, then roll 2d6 on this table:

2 Very Long Legs
3 Disturbing Presence
4 Two heads
5 Tentacles
6 Extra Arms
7 Claw
8 Big Hand
9 Horns
10 Prehensile Tale
11 Foul Appearance
12 Regeneration

Illegal Procedure
In the spirit of good fun, NO illegal procedures will be called.

Tie Breakers (if needed)
Ties broken in the following order, 1) strength of schedule, 2) Head to Head record, 3) Net TDs plus Net CAS, 4) Total TDs plus Total CAS,
Awards
Awards to be given out:
1st / 2nd / 3rd place
Most Cas
Most TDs
Best Defense
Wooden Spoon

The legacy trophy is discontinued. This will be replaced by an Underworld Cup board that will be given to the winner. The mugs for all other prizes will continue to be given out.

This Underworld Cup will feature a new sub-competition which will be a "Coach Draft"
Team #1 will be "Team Main Guy and the Black Label Society"

Team #2 will be "Team Other Guy and the 40 Miners"

After registration and before round one Xtreme and JP will act as team captains and "Draft" their teams. I will roll off to see who gets first round pic of one coach to join their team. This will continue until all coaches are drafted to a team.

If JP and Xtreme do not make it(they are both coming as of now), I will have backup head coaches to replace them.

JP and Xtreme will be paired off round 4 to replicate the infamous match of the Black Label Society vs the 40 miners at Orctoberfest I in 2010.

I'm going to try and make this one next year. I hope Xtreme can, so I can attempt the revive the tradition of beating him there.

Orctoberfest has been replaced by the Underworld Cup. The oldest bloodbowl tourney in North America. Rules are updated above.

Not at this point. If the turnout gets big enough, we'll add it. Right now, stunties just get an extra 100k to build thier roster.

If you make it out, you'll have a free place too crash. My house has two hot water tanks so you might even get a warm shower:)

If anyone has some graphics ideas for the Underworld cup championship board, please send em my way. I'm looking for something with a Dungeon/Motor/shooting theme for the underworld/detroit theme. I want to get the boards ordered soon.

Jonny_P - Jul 10, 2012 - 10:30 AM
Post subject:

Hey Sol.. not sure where you are getting the boards done, but Alex at FF-Fields does a fantastic job with custom logos for a minor additional fee.

Daggers - Jul 10, 2012 - 11:01 AM
Post subject:

Yeah, Alex is totally amazing at it. He can do it all for you. If you want boards done by him, just get him to do the logos as well. He is even working on a BB7's board for me now.

Daggers - Jul 10, 2012 - 01:54 PM
Post subject:

I may try and make this one. There is enough of a gap between this and Deathbowl that the wife won't be totally pissed I am gone all weekend. Can I make a request if I do, that you bump up the start time on day 2 so we can finish earlier. That way I could make it back to Ottawa on Sunday (9 hours is long, but doable).

Jonny_P - Jul 10, 2012 - 01:58 PM

That would be great for anyone from central time zone driving back losing an hour too.

Times changed. I added a link on the bottom for the spreadsheet I would like people to use to make roster checking easier due to the progressive format. If you can't use that, it may be easiest to bring 5 separate rosters. One for each round.

Yeah, I can bring a super-Dark elf team with crazy witches and blitzers.

Post subject:

To the Chicago/Toronto/Indy peeps:

Let me know your thoughts on the start time for Saturday. If it's better for people coming from your areas and you would would rather come Sat am instead of Friday night, we could delay the Sat start time by one or even two hours.

The only drawback is that is shortens the time we get to do some other gaming/drinking on Saturday evening.

Thats dirty, not crazy. And she's Nurgle, not Dark Elf. And with her price, I could hire an entire army of her with this team build. 11 Beasts of Nurgle.

If JP and Xtreme are not at one of the top three tables for round 5, they will then be paired off to replicate the infamous match of the Black Label Society vs Da 40 miners at Orctoberfest I in 2010.

I will have some kind of prize that is yet to be determined for the winning team.

Jonny_P - Aug 12, 2012 - 03:52 PM
Post subject:

This is a great idea for many reasons. One of them is that you will get a ton of promotion on Zlurpcast due to this epic part 2 to the battle from Orctoberfest I.

Can't wait to not only destroy Da 40 Miners again, but all the teams that are drafted onto his side!

Daggers - Aug 12, 2012 - 05:44 PM

Crap, I really need to try now to make it. Just to watch part to o he epic battle.

I stole the 2 team idea from Pete's tourney. I thought that was a lot of fun. The team draft with the infamous game at the end sounded like a good way to adapt a similar concept.

Post subject:

Yeah, I figured that. And forcing Main Guy and Other Guy to battle it out for Zlurpcasr host supremacy is awesome!!! Who is gonna draft me? Please don't pick me last (I don't want to relive public school all over again).

For those that have not sent in rosters yet, please send them in before Friday Oct 5th. You can send them to mckennon@mac.com

Here is a repeat link for the excel spreadsheet :
http://arosbb.dk/arosteamroster.zip

If you send your roster in ahead of time I will print out a copy for each round with your skills on it ready for you on the day(s) of the tourney. If you are using your money for something other than skills each round, just indicate it in the email and I will make sure the rosters reflect that.

If you do not send your roster in early, please show up 30 minutes early on the first day (8:30am) to give us time to approve your roster; so if you are a fan of sleep send it in early. :Booze:

Also, just to clarify. All skills(or other money expendatures) for rounds 1-5 are selected ahead of time this year. There is no selection between rounds as we had done with Orctoberfest. I was talking to some people last weekend and they were confused on this point.

Just in case you are checking for an address at the last minute, here it is:

30780 N Greenbriar rd
Franklin, MI 48025

It's a tan ranch on the corner of N Greenbriar and Woodside. Two houses south of 13 mile on Woodside. 4 or 5 west of Franklin Rd on N Greenbriar.

The house number is on the small yard light pole at the end of the drive. Numbers are small and hard to read. Just call 248-514-8480 if you get lost.

The Underworld Cup went off quite well. We had 19 Coaches play 44 games this weekend. Team Black Label Society faced off vs Team Da 40 Miners in a standard schoolyard draft format.

The final tally on team points was:

Black Label Society: 1830
Da 40 Miners: 1090

The head to head matchup of Da Miners vs BLS ended in a 2-1 win for the miners. I'm sure you'll hear a recap of that turn 8 score as well as a description of the Miners roided out runner on the next zlurpcast.

Other Results:
Winner, with a record of 4 wins and one tie was Mike Bielec(lahatiel) and his Fallen Angels(Dark Elves)
Runner Up, with a rocord of 4 wins 1 loss was Matt Vanderby(Delevus) with Slaughterhouse(Chaos)

3rd place, Bryan Mitchel(Xtreme) and Da 40 Miners(Dwarves)
Best Defense, Ezzard(Boshka) and Low Ridge Riders(Dwarves)
Most TD's, Jon Pelitis(jonnyp) and the Black Label Society(Dwarves)
Most Brutal, Alex(Vespero) and Yggdrasil Bearmen(Norse)
Wooden Spoon, Lindsey(Fevin) and Fear the night(Dark Elves)
