Okay I'm taking down names and adding them to the list. 
BTW we tried for a late Friday however the poor guys at the bunker who would have to stay late are going to have to be up extremely early (I won't mention the time that was hinted *cough* 4... *cough*) to get Games Day ready the following day.
The MOBB is going to have it guys! Can't tell which team yet though. |

So what about the overall cost?
Is the $30 for everything, or is there an extra fee to go to the GD? |

Spike! 2006 Tournament Rules
Things you NEED to bring:
1) Your fully painted team,
2) Two copies of your team roster,
3) A Blood Bowl board, templates, dugouts and block dice, (We cannot guarantee we'll have extras on hand)
4) A copy of the most recent Living Rule Book, (Available for free online at www.bloodbowl.net)
5) Pen or pencil(s),
6) Your NAF user name and number (if you are a NAF member that is). See below for more information.
Schedule
Since time is limited please be on time and ready to play.
Friday May 26th, 2006
10:00 a.m. ??? 12 noon Game 1
Lunch Break
1:00 p.m. ??? 3:00 Game 2
3:30 ??? 5:30 Game 3
Sat May 27, 2006
8:00 a.m. ??? 10 Game 4
10:15 am - 12:15 Game 5
Lunch Break
1:00 p.m. ??? 3:00 Game 6
3:30 p.m. Awards Presentation
Tournament Format
Tournament is played over Friday and Saturday. You will participate in a series of 6 games against different opponents. All games will be selected randomly with no repeating of opponents.
To keep on schedule, we would appreciate it if you could play at a brisk pace with no time wasting!
Each player has a special results form. Once each game is finished, you must fill in the form and hand it in to the Records Keeper. It is important that you fill in ALL the information, as this will decide your ranking and ultimately the winner of the tournament.
Scoring
After each game you will record the points earned by your team on the results form.
Points are awarded as follows:
Win 50
Loss 10
Tie 30
Bonuses:
???Blow-out??? (won by two or more points) +10
???Bag o' Wheat??? (caused most casualties) +10
???Keeping it close??? (lost by 1 TD) +10
Any ties in the final standings will be broken by TD difference and then CAS difference.
Painting & Sportsmanship
Painting
Tournament points will be awarded for team painting and presentation. Up to 10 points are awarded for team painting based on the criteria below. The tournament judges will evaluate each team based on these four criteria and not on the aesthetics of the team. This means that any painter of any standard can gain the maximum 10 points if he puts in the effort and follows the guidelines below.
The judge???s decisions are final.
Based - 2 points: All bases of the team including sideline staff are painted and/or textured in some manner.
Just being painted green is not enough!
Painted - 2 points: The team is painted. All models have at least 3 colours on them. Undercoats of primer
must not be visible.
Detailed - 2 points: All models have had the details painted in a variety of colours or with noticeable effects.
This can be shading, highlighting, etc. This discriminates between the merely painted team and the team that has
attention paid to it.
Representative - 4 points: All models on the team are representative of the race and position that they are meant to portray. Extra weapons that are not part of a finished and painted figure should be removed. This does not mean that you must use official Blood Bowl miniatures, only that an Ogre should look like an Ogre, a dwarf should look like a dwarf and so on.
IMPORTANT: In order to get the points all models in the team must fullfill the criteria. If even one model fails the points will not be awarded.
Sportsmanship
After each game, you will award your opponent 1 - 3 sportsmanship pts. based on the following criteria:
3 pts - Your opponent was an exceptional and sporting opponent. He did not endlessly argue about rules, tactics, he reminded you about your turn counter every time, let you reconsider moves, etc.
2 pts - A good opponent, neither great nor terrible.
1 pt - Not an enjoyable person to play against. Argued every single contentious point for the sake of it. Didn't go out of their way to make the game painful, but it was not an enjoyable experience.
Tournament Rules
Rosters
Coaches have 1,000,000 crowns with which to build their team. All normal team-building rules apply.
Official Tournament Teams
Any Team listed in the current Living Rule Book (LRB 4.0) may be used. Team stats may be downloaded from www.bloodbowl.net.
Star Players and Wizards
Star players are not permitted.
No wizards will be allowed, with the exception that the Halflings may purchase a Chef for 150,000 gold crowns.
Undead coaches may argue the call, but may not raise the dead.
Team Building
After every game the tournament Commissioner will roll 2D6, the result will be awarded to 1 member of your team (your choice).
Players may only take skills from their available skill categories, unless doubles are rolled. You may not stack additional skills on 1 player.
This system replaces the league and star player point system in the Blood Bowl handbook.
Casualties
All casualties that have been inflicted on your team, including death, are wiped away at the end of each game.
In other words the team resets after every game (excluding skill rolls).
Dice
All D6's and D8's will be supplied by the tournament organizer. Coaches will not be permitted to use their own D6's or D8's.
NAF
The NAF is an international Association of players dedicated to Blood Bowl - Games Workshops game of fantasy football.
NAF's goal is to act as a central resource for Blood Bowl coaches the world over - offering news, contacts, discussion, sanctioned tournaments, and international player rankings.
Whether your planning your own tournament, looking for a league, or just wanting to catch up on the latest from the world of
Blood Bowl, NAF HQ aims to provide everything you will need. Sign up now and get a set of Official NAF Block Dice!!
(Rumour has it that they are luckier than normal block dice, but officials can neither confirm nor deny this!) This tournament is NAF sanctioned which means that ANY matches that you play against another NAF member will count towards your overall ranking.
It is worth noting that matches against non-NAF members do not count towards your ranking as there is no way of judging the quality of an "unknown" opponent.
IMPORTANT: If you are a NAF member, please remember to bring your user name and NAF Number with you to the tournament.
NAF Membership is $10 USD per year and may be purchased at www.bloodbowl.net.
Prizes
There will be prizes not only for the tournament winners, but also for painting, sportsmanship, and anything else we can think of! |

Okay, I think you can count me in for this one!
A couple of questions about the rules which will help me to decide which team i will be bringing:
1) So the teams get any skills before the tourney starts? (e.g. one regular skill for the team captain)
2) Will mutation count as regular skills for the Nurgle team (screw the chaos and Skaven, all I care about is Nurgle! )
3) If Clan-Skaven shows up, can I dock him sportsmanship points if he keeps up with his wretched Guiness farts on the second day of the tourney?
Thanks,
Spazz |

GW Canadas website says that you have to contact them for tickets for the spike. Is this an error on their part? If I go on friday I don't want to get hassled by GW Staff when I show up at Games Day on Saturday. |

i contacted gw about friday and they told me that it will not count for the spike on saturday.
i bought my ticket from gw and was told the friday games are just for fun and all teams will reset for saturday.

so who is running the tourney... gw or mississauga bb
there is no way for me to get to toronto for friday.
