Post subject: Deathbowl XII - Ottawa (Hull, QC) - October 25th-26th 2014
Deathbowl XII is just around the bend and all the Amazon teams are deep into preparing for the carnage that will occur on the pitch!!
We will be hosting the event on October 25th-26th with 4 games of Deathbowl to be played in those 2 days!! For a full copy of the rules check out our website attached to my SIG. We will be updating for the Year of theme shortly with all included benefits for the Amazon teams.
The rules will be a 'little' different this year 1 250 000 Team Rating for builds, all NAF approved teams available including 3 unofficial races. Coaches can buy improvements for their players at the costs indicated in the CRP rulebook. You may purchase up to a maximum of 3 additional skills per player on your roster, this includes a +1 to any stat, and no player may have more than 3 improvements in total. No additional skills will be gained during the tournament. The different rules that will be applied this year will be covered fully in our Rulebook which is currently being updated and will be available online for everyone's reference shortly! A few highlights of some of these changes are...continuous play, with no "kick offs" except at the begining of each half, alteration in KO recovery, increased player numbers of the field up to 16, the option to blitz each of your three opponents, the return of the referee, and victory being determined by the top scorer on the table. There are a few other changes of note but I won't give it all away at once. Keep your eyes peeled for our official new rulebook with all the details to all of the changes!!
Remember no kickoffs during the matches, If you have one of our new Deathbowl fields from the last couple years feel free to bring it in case but we should have enough to accommodate everyone regardless.
*The venue* has changed this year to a Gaming store that is happy to support all of our tournament endeavours! It will be located at Boutique FDB/FDB Store at 114 Boulevard St-Raymond (2nd Floor) Hull/Gatineau QC, just up the road from Casino Lac-Leamy.
See you all over the summer hopefully!!
(Oh and can someone with the power's that be please Sticky this thread and approve the tournament thank you!)

Just an update on the Rulebook, it is completed with only 1 thing for Glenn and I to discuss before posting for everyone. Sorry for the delay everyone this little thing we call life has gotten in my way this year as I usually like to have everything posted at least 3-4 months in advance. Everything should be up on here, NAF Canada website and the FB Group we created for the event later today!
As always, any questions are welcome as there is quite the overhaul to the rules this year, in an attempt to level the playing field and give any race an equal chance at winning the tournament
Hope to see many of you soon!

No player may have more than 3 improvements in total and no additional skills will be gained during the tournament.***
Improvement Cost
Regular skill +20,000
Double skill +30,000
+1 MA/AV +30,000
Game & Turn Time Limits
The schedule is tight so the time limits for games will be strictly controlled. This is the only way to ensure fairness for all competitors. The alarm which goes off after 3 hours and 30 minutes brings the games to an end. There will be a warning buzzer with 15 minutes remaining, after which the table finishes the round of turns it is on but does not start another round. This prevents a game ending with an uneven number of turns for each coach.
To make sure all coaches get an even amount of time at play, a turn time limit of 3.5 minutes per turn will apply. When the time limit runs out the coach is allowed to finish the move of the active player only. This turn limit enables us to play 4 games of Deathbowl.
The games may finish in ties and there is NO OVERTIME!
Turn Etiquette
You may bargain and negotiate as much as you like in your own turn or in an opponent coaches turn if they initiate the discussion. However, as all coaches have a time limit for their turns it is impolite and against the rules to initiate such a discussion during an opponents turn. It is unfair to all the coaches at the table and indeed the tournament for another coach to “advise†on another coaches’ actions. While it is acceptable to remind a coach to move a player to block a potential TD, it is not acceptable to plan their entire turn.
“Alliance Bowlâ€
The Deathbowl Association received numerous complaints over the past few years about the alliances that like races have been forming to further themselves in the tournament. The most recent being the Zon-Zon alliance from three years ago. We have come to the conclusion that openly aiding each other in Deathbowl shouldn’t be part of the game. Of course there are instances where getting in the way
on defence, assisting on a block, outright throwing a block to aid in your cause are perfectly acceptable. Throwing a pass or handing off directly to an opposing team has been banned. You may no longer throw a pass directly to the opposition, if it happens to scatter to them or bounce to them that is permitted. If they happen to have diving catch that would also be deemed acceptable as the target square is not directly at an opposing player. Handing off the ball to an opponent is not permitted either as the fans in many stadiums have rioted and looted because of this, causing injuries and damage countless times.
Tournament Format
The tournament will consist of 4 games of Deathbowl following the SWISS-style format. In the first game each coach will be randomly drawn with an opponent and then each pair of coaches will be randomly drawn with a second pair of coaches to make up the four players required for a Deathbowl game.
Game results are only determined by the results against the whole table (i.e. there can only be one winner, or there could be a 2, 3, or 4 way tie!). Tournament points are discussed below. The first round matches will be decided randomly. After the first round matches are complete, the game match-ups will proceed with 4 coaches facing each other on a table determined by tournament point and tiebreakers. Coaches may play on the same table as another coach an unlimited number of times!
Deathbowl Rules
The Pitch and Setup
Deathbowl is played on a specially designed pitch with four teams and two balls. The teams line up on or behind the “line of scrimmage†in their own set up section. Each coach must have at least three players on the line, with no players in the wide zones. Each coach lines up randomly opposite an opponent for the round. There is no kick-off. The balls are placed in one of the four center squares, randomly chosen (D4 & D3). All players may set-up their teams on the field at the same time with a minimum of 11 players and a maximum of 16 players. A D6 roll is made by each coach with the highest roll going first in gameplay and continue clockwise from there for the half.
Continuous Play is now in effect. After the initial set-up play continues until halftime and then does the same until the end of the game after halftime. Play does not stop for any reason, including touchdowns! After halftime the player who took the last turn in the first half has the first turn and play progresses counter-clockwise around the table.
Fame and Weather have no effect on the game of Deathbowl.
Scoring
A teams turn ends if a player enters the end zone and scores a touchdown. If a player carrying a ball enters the end zone on a square containing a ball on the ground, the scatter is resolved before the turn ends. This is the only currently identified way to score two touchdowns in a single player turn. Once a touchdown is scored the ball is removed from the field and re-enters play on one of the four centre squares (roll a D4) and stops there, unless the square is occupied. If the square is occupied by a standing player, the player may attempt to catch the ball just like the bounce at the end of regular Blood Bowl kick off (bouncing ball). If the square is occupied by a prone or stunned player or the other ball the new ball bounces once from the square.
The teams continue to play after a touchdown with a new set up only occurring at halftime.
Halftime
At halftime (as in Blood Bowl) the play stops and the teams set up as described in the set up and play order section. Additionally at half time all KO'd players return to action without rolling. Any players KO'd in the second half do not return to play. Any injured players who were able to regenerate or who were healed by an apothecary can only return to play at halftime.
Actions
Each team may take a blitz action against each of the opposing teams.
Each team may make a pass action with each ball, but not twice with one ball. Therefore, a team could instead pass two players with the right stuff skill, or one player and one ball. However, no player or ball can be thrown twice in one turn. Each team may take a hand off action with each ball, but not twice with one ball.
Each team may take a foul action against each of the opposing teams. However, the referee will send off players following the normal Blood Bowl rules. A turnover will still end a turn with all unused actions lost as in Blood Bowl.
Additionally, if a blitz is declared and no block dice thrown, no further blitz actions can be taken against that team this turn. If you fail your Wild Animal roll while declaring to blitz an opponent you cannot then declare a Blitz against the same opponent until your next team turn. You may refer to this as the Wild Animal rule. When declaring a Blitz against an opposing team, the player must be within range of the intended target to declare said Blitz at all.
Blocks and Fouls
Assists work as in normal Blood Bowl for the players on the teams involved in a block or a foul. However, the other teams may want to get involved as well. A player may assist a block or foul made by an opponent if the only opposing tackle zone they are in is the victim of the block or foul. If they are in any other opposing tackle zones they cannot assist. The only exception to this is if the player has Guard skill they can always assist a block. This applies to fouls in the same fashion as stated above.
The edge of the field is the crowd just like in regular bloodbowl.
Deathbowl Referees
Referees will make their triumphant...albeit probably painful return to the Deathbowl pitch!! The organizers saw fit to re-negotiate their contracts in the off season giving them the benefit of ‘Danger Pay’ to encourage their participation and bring some form of order to the mayhem that takes place on the field!
Halfling Master Chefs
During the Death Bowl match Halfling teams will be able to force their opponents to lose rerolls. First they must roll 3 D6’s to determine how effective the Chef will be. For each successful roll they must roll another D6 to randomly determine which opponent will be affected. Using large fans the chef and his assistant manage to blow the delicious smells into their opponent’s dugouts and the other teams that are unaffected just get a tantalising yet non-distracting whiff of the marvellous culinary creations.
Ball Handling - Passing, Handoff's & Interceptions
No player may at any time be in possession of more than one ball. Anytime a player with a ball interacts with the other ball resolve the situation as if he/she/it had the “No Hands†skill. The player may not drop the ball he has to attempt to pick up the other. A team may pass and hand-off each ball once a turn. A team may not, however, pass or hand-off the same ball more than once in the same turn, as in the standard rules of the game.
The ball may at no time be passed across any of the four corner squares. To determine this when passing a ball, the entire range ruler must be on the playable Pitch area.
Interceptions
If players from different teams are eligible to make an interception the player closest to the throwing player may make the attempt first. If two or more players are equally close than the coaches roll off to determine which player may make the first attempt. If the first player fails to intercept the next player gets a chance, if the second player fails to make and interception a player from the third team gets a chance. However, each team may only make one interception attempt. If an interception attempt is successful and followed by a successful "safe throw" roll, a team who has not yet attempted to intercept can still try with one of their players. Safe throw may be used on all successful interceptions in any given turn. For example a pass may be intercepted 3 times, each time by a player from a different team; the thrower gets to roll for safe throw in each case.
Tournament Points
There are three ways to earn points from games at Deathbowl XII. The first is by winning or tying on the table you are playing against. The second is by scoring more TD’s than the other three coaches on the table or 3+ TD’s on the table. And finally a bonus point can be gained by causing more CAS (from blocks) than any of the other coaches at the table or 3+ CAS at the table.
In addition there are points available towards winning the “Best Team†Award for the painting/customizing and theme of your team. These points are easy to get and do not require you to be an expert painter. All that is required is that you read the list and put a little effort in. There are six categories each worth half a point, if you fulfill five you will qualify to be selected for this coveted award!
Tournament points from Game play
Win vs. Table 3
Tie vs. Table 1
Loss vs. Table 0
Bonus points
Scored most TDs on table 1
Caused the most CAS (from blocking) on the table 1
Caused 3+ CAS (from blocking) 0.5
Scored 3+ TD on table 0.5
The number one factor in determining how teams place in the standings should still reflect their overall record. While we feel bonus points for strong gameplay should still factor in, it should not outweigh the overall record of the competitors. It will definitely still play a part in determining placement but not override the standings completely.
Each coaches total tournament points from game play will be used to determine each coach’s table opponents for the next round. In the event of a tie in the standings the following tie breakers will be used during the tournament and in determining the final standings.
Tie Breakers
1 # of Wins
2 TD +/-
3 CAS +/-
4 TD For
5 CAS For
6 Schoolyard Brawl!!!
That seemed to work out fairly well pasting from Word format, still if you would like a copy of the Rulebook let me know!!

Yes, you still get a free Apoth regardless. It just gives the possibility of purchasing one for 50K and getting another 2nd one for free. (May be a good idea to keep KO'd players on the field...especially in the 2nd half Hint Hint)

It wasn't approved because the rules weren't posted until yesterday. It is now.
In the way of advance warning, there's been some talk about codifying variant rules so that there's a "standard" set for Deathbowl, DungeonBowl, etc. If that project ever gets underway, I'll contact you about possibly participating in the process.

Eric!!!!
Where the hell you been.
Congrats to the Jones brothers for another great Deathbowl. Love the new format, makes for some even crazier fun. Only flaw I find is that for myself it happened and I know it also happened to a couple of others. My direct opponent was the same in 2 games. I know that we need to win the complete table now but playing vs the same coach twice is not the best in my eyes. Other than that I would not change a thing.
Congrats to all the winners and a big thank you to all my opponents. As always you all make the game that more enjoyable.
Now to the biggest shock of them all....
After playing in 11 DeathBowl tounaments I have finally won something other than Best Sportsmen of Best team....
1st place baby!!!!

Great location, 20 coaches were playing at five tables. I think the vast majority of people preferred the new continuous play over the old ruleset. It definitely encouraged more non-traditional teams such as dwarves or goblins. Surprisingly, only one amazon team!
Dan won the whole thing with his Skaven, showing that agility teams are still a force in Deathbowl. Manu came second with Orcs. Third place was tightly contested, Glenn got it with his Chaos Pact team.
Most touchdowns went to Marc-Andre with his Skaven, who scored half of them in his 7-0 fourth match. Most casualties went to Niagara-Joe's Undead (15 or so). Best Defense was Kohl with his Humans (no touchdown conceded). Best painted and sportmanship went to Greg with his Lizards. Wooden spoon went to Colin's gobbolinos.

17.Kohl Hedley - Human (Best Defence with 0 TD's allowed)
18.Gord Macdougal - Dark Elf
19.Trever Meers - Orc
20.Colin Keillar - Goblin
A few things of note from the tournament that I felt could be mentioned: Only 2 points separated 1-6th place, 4th & 5th place were only a half point off of the podium with 4th place having the tie breaker advantage. TD's was decided in the final round of the tournament as Rob's humans had a slight lead before Marc-Andre put up 7 TD's in his final game! Joe managed to maintain a slight lead in the CAS battle staying 2 ahead for most of the tournament. Most sporting was highly contested with 3 people in the running within 1 point of each other for being 'Da Nice Guy'. All around a great event to be a part of and just hoping everyone enjoyed it as much as we did running it!
Hope to see you all soon at a tournament in the near future, thanks again!

Sounded like a great tourney. If I did not have to deal with hard timelines at work I would have made this tourney my first stop on my fabulous Ontario vacation
Now that I am integrated into the West Coast lifestyle, I only play BB ironically
@Taxal: your mum and I were so proud of your success, that I took her on a victory lap around the house

Results are all entered and finalized. Keep in mind that the results are still based on the direct matchups across from you while the tournament standings this year were determined by the overall table results plus the bonus points scored at each table.
***If someone can push the Magic Button to show the results have been entered please***
Thank you again to everyone that came out this year! We are already working on the tournament for next year, hope to see many of you throughout the year!

Trevor_NFBBA is Greg's brother from Niagara Falls, not Pete's son, don't push the button yet , there needs to be an edit.

Going to need the NAF name for Trevor Meers then as I thought that was it. Should be easy once I have that, will send Peter a message to confirm. Thanks Rod and Gaixo, will check in if I have problems...

Not sure why the button was pushed the error is still not fixed.... Can it still be edited?
Gaixo - Nov 10, 2014 - 10:03 PM

It was probably pushed by someone who wasn't aware of the issue and had another tournament's results pending. But yes, it can still be edited.

Okay, so I figured out the NAF name for Trever Meers but when I went to edit I only have the option to re-enter all of the matchups over again, which if I remember correctly will enter them as a 2nd set of matchups instead of overriding just the results for one participant.
Gaixo or Clan_Skaven if you have any info that will make this edit easier that would be great! I basically need to edit one NAF member for the correct one Trevor_NFBBA to be replaced with trev1.
If either of you can let me know how to go about making this change please, thanks

Fixed. (You need a certain level of staff permissions to make corrections of that type.)
Trevor_NFBBA will continue to show a "false" orc ranking until a full recalculation is run, but it will disappear at that point.

Awesome!! Thanks for your help Gaixo Figured it may have something to do with that when I didn't have the option available.
Much appreciated!!
