The Canadian Open is BACK - it will be hosted in Toronto, ON Canada and is sponsored by Gaspez-Arts

DATE
April 2-3, 2016

LOCATION
Dovercourt House
805 Dovercourt Rd.
Toronto, ON M6H 2X4

We are playing on the second floor.
This is a brilliant venue steps away from Bloor St. West. A vibrant part of the local community supporting dance, theatre, gaming and other groups - there will be drinks (alcoholic & non) available for purchase and there are great options for food on Bloor St.

COST
$40 - NAF Members, $45 - Non-NAF members (with $5 going towards NAF membership sign-up).

This gets you 5 games of blood bowl, and a set of Canadian Open d6's which must be used during the tournament. NAF Members can save $5 if they have dice from previous years and don't want another set.

TOURNAMENT
5 games of Blood Bowl played over two days (3 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday) Swiss-style match-ups after game 1.
Tournament is resurrection.
Tournament points are W/T/L - 3/1/0, with strength of schedule as primary tie-breaker.
We will be using the CRP rules along with the 3 additional NAF approved teams with the following exceptions:
A custom weather table will be used, weather will be rolled by top table and apply to all games.
Teams MUST be painted to 3 colour minimum. There will be penalties for unpainted figures or teams at TO discretion.

CANADIAN OPEN WEATHER TABLE
Being that this is the Canadian Open, we have adjusted the weather table in order to reflect our unique weather.
(2) Bitter Cold: It's so cold that some players have got Frost Bite! Roll a D6 for each player on the pitch at the end of a drive. On a roll of 1 the player has been stricken with frost bite and may not be set up for the next kick-off.
(3) Very Sunny: Cold, but the blinding sunshine causes a -1 modifier on all passing rolls
(4) Icy Conditions: It's exceptionally icy on the pitch causing extreme slippery conditions. To reflect this, all players that move more then 3 squares (including a blitz action) make a roll, on a roll of 1 the player moves an additional square in the same direction ignoring any tackle zones if the player so happens to pass through one. If a player moves into an occupied square then treat it as a push result on the block dice - Fend, Side Step & Stand Firm do NOT work on this push effect. During a blitz, this can happen twice - once before the block if the blitzing player moved more than 3 squares to end up adjacent to their target, and once after the block if the player continues moving and moves more than 3 squares (the follow up counts towards this total) but movement from before the block will not count towards slipping after continuing moving. In addition, the icy conditions may also result in a player sliding out of bounds or into the end zone for the winning TD! Standing up does not count towards this in any way. You may reroll the slip dice roll, both to attempt to succeed or to fail!
(5 â€“ 10) Nice: Cold but otherwise decent Blood Bowl weather.
(11) Ice Rain: It's raining, making the ball slippery and difficult to hold. A -1 modifier applies to all catch, intercept, or pick up rolls.
(12) Blizzard: It's cold and snowing! The horrible conditions means that any player attempting to move an extra square (GFI) will slip and be knocked down on a roll of 1-2. In addition, only quick and short passes can be attempted.

LODGING & GAMING

Anyone looking for a place to crash the weekend (Friday & Saturday night) of the tournament is more than welcome to stay at my place in Etobicoke. I live a 15min drive from the venue, and a few blocks from a McDonalds, LCBO, 24hr grocery store etc. There's limited guest bed/sofa space so plan on bringing your own bedding. We'll drink, play games, order food; all the usual 'ground zero' tournament weekend stuff. Doesn't matter if you're from out of town, country, or within Toronto and just don't want to uber home at the end of the night.

Just so I have a rough idea, if you plan on sleeping at my place, let me know! You can PM me here, and I'll send you directions etc.

If you're looking to try out a specific game my mostly up-to-date collection is here https://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/apartment42

Cheers!

Alex

I am only scheduling for 4 tourneys this year.

Canadian Open (Primarily cause its Toronto and a last minute add in)
Zlurpee Bowl (Alltime favorite)
Chaos Cup (US Major)
UnderWorld Cup

I believe that I was cutting back not necessarily "retiring" but that could still change.

Edit to Add Underworld Cup, so 4 this year.
