Melifaxis was crushed in the first round by Chaos Dwarves...The team that would eventually play the Ironclad Britches for the Arisia Bowl Championship.
The Finals:
Ironclad Britches vs. Frawd Cons (Dwarf vs Chaos Dwarf)
First half (Blizzard switching to Pouring Rain):
The excitement in the first half was highlighted by the Ironclad's ability to score as the kicking team. Much pushing around, knocking down, and stunning...until the last few turns where one of the Bull Centaurs (the one with block) got himself dead.
Second half (Pouring Rain switching to nice weather):
Ironclad receives and marches down the field and scores in 4 turns. A Chaos Dwarf is killed. Ironclad leads 2-1. Scrambling for the ball, the Cons are able to put the ball and a few players near the endzone. Fighting off the Ironclad, they kill a longbeard with Guard. Before scoring though the Ironclad fight back, killing the Clawed Minotaur before time expires and we head into OT.
OT: Ironclad wins the toss. Ironclad receives a touchback off of a Bad Kick. The Frawd Cons LOS is knocked down entirely. A hobgoblin is KO'ed (now a 2 man advantage for the Ironclad, a runner was KO'ed in the 2nd half and never recovered). Ironclad pushes the field forward while caging the remaining runner. A hobgoblin is killed and the Ironclad pushes to the right side of the Cons side of the field. There are Trollslayers (both with Mighty Blow) on both the right and left side of the field and the remaining Guarding Longbeard is in the middle. The Blitzers move to protect the Runner. The remaining Bull Centaur is knocked down and surrounded, the runner moves into scoring range. The Bull Centaur makes a last ditch effort to dodge through the dwarven cage around him but is tripped up.
Ironclad wins 3-2. Final record for the Ironclad Britches 3-0-1.
Ironclad also won most Casualties with 15.
Wotan's Children (Norse) came in second (and Best NAF rookie) with a record of 3-1-0.
Frawd Cons came in third with a record of 2-1-1.
Best Painted and Wooden Spoon: The Organ Donors (Undead)
Best Conversion: Some Kinda Voodoo
Most TDs: I forget...Vhaerun's Blades maybe |

We'll get the results up once we have our new NAF members registered in the system. 100% NAF attendance thanks to Rob!
I'm working on the pix.
And we have a heartbreaking posthumous award for very nearly made it to the tourney: Voltbang had a major snafu with his ticket at the airport. He didn't make it on the plane from Virginia, but his luggage with the two teams he was bringing made it to Logan -- so they were sitting within 3 miles of the tourney   Fortunately, they've made it back to him now too.
Most TDs: Vhaerun's Blades -- yup, they came in 5th with 10TDs both For & Against. Heading into the last moments of the finals they were in contention for the Wooden Spoon and Most TDs  -- if the Blades lost their last game instead of tied, and if the Organ Donors managed a win.... |

We had an odd number, so I only played two matches. I was OWNED in the first one by well coached CD's and some horrible dice. 2-0
Next match was a 2-2 Tie, but I had a shot at the win in the last turn....just couldnt pull it off  |

| Thanks to Mo and Meliflaxis for running a great tournament with fantastic prizes! I've been to a lot of tournaments for a lot of different game systems, and this was one of the most professionally run events I've ever been to. I met some good people as well, and look forward to playing them again in the future! |

Hold your horses.... Hosting space shouldn't be a problem, I just need to get them over to Mel now that they're on my computer.
Ooh, guantlet throwing parties  Yay! The ArisiaBowl trophy is a pretty serious war-club... if our champion gets inside the guard of the axe-wielding Death Bowl champion it'll do some great head-clonking
Cheers,
Maureen |

I have received the pix, and will have them on the site by Monday at the latest!
EDIT: Ok, I threw two pics up under results so you could at least see the GORGEOUS trophy...they are massive and need to be resized though. |
