Just wondering...
Are the races which individual players registered with fixed i.e. can they be changed prior to the tournament? For instance if player x registered as playing humans but decided to play orcs a week before the tournament, is he allowed to make this change?
Asking because if individual coach match-ups are posted then people may be inclined to consider altering their race depending which coach they are drawn against first round.
Or are the match-ups you'll be posting just team vs. team, rather than coach vs. coach? (as Hangus asked) |

The races for each coach are not fixed until the registration for the tournament - coaches may change up until that time, so long as the 'each race may be represented on a team only once' rule is still followed...
As far as posting pre-tourney matchups, only the coaches will be posted - it will up to the coach whether they wish to tell the world the race that they are playing beforehand, or not.... The same will apply at the team level should pre-tourney matches be posted.
The primary reason for the organizing committee to consider this is to be able to give greater direction to coaches and teams upon arrival at the Warhammer World - we will have already posted a venue/map layout with table positions and made coaches/team assignments beforehand, which will greatly aid the registration process. Definitely preferred to registering everyone, then creating a random draw on site, and then re-directing everyone afterwards.... a potential nightmare avoided with some advance planning....

There will not be a telephone number to call - in order to make the process transparent to everyone, it will be online.
From an earlier post in this topic:
"At that time there will be an online registration on this site for anyone or any team wishing to participate and it will be strictly first come (first paid), first served.... There will be an open forum on the NAF website, visible to all, for which a coach will post their desire for ticket(s), at which time the coach will have forty-eight ( 48 ) hours to deliver the required information (as above) via PM to a NAF officer, and pay for their ticket(s).
No more than six (6) tickets, or one team, will be allowed at a time and all the necessary information (as above) will be required for each place. Member names and NAF numbers will be verified, and every precaution taken to prevent the hording of tickets and to insure the sale of tickets to only those members who wish to attend.
We will continue to sell the remaining tickets until all are sold or until August 19th, at which time we must notify Games-Workshop of the total number of coaches we expect."
It appears now that 288 tickets will be the final number, so there will be only 30 tickets available on the date we start. I t still looks good for this coming Monday and we will start as close to exactly 8:00am GMT as possible. I will create a new topic at that time and do my best to acknowledge each post requesting tickets. From that moment, the coach posting will have 48 hours to pay for their ticket(s) via the NAF paypal account: nuffle@bloodbowl.net.
I will PM each coach with an acknowledgement of the receipt of their payment via Paypal and edit their post with a PAID marker. After the thirty tickets have been purchased, we will ask that coaches continue to post their interest for tickets so that any teams which lose a member can then contact those coaches.
This is the most open and fair way we can see to do this - everyone will see the order/posting time of each request and I will do my best to maintain the tracking of the payments. On one hand I regret there not being more tickets at this phase, on the other I am very pleased that the team requests were so strong....
Hope this helps....

For those coaches who are attending as a SUBSTITUTE for a team, please DO NOT purchase one of the open registration tickets - these places are for coaches who wish to be part of a six-member team and are not yet part of an announced team. The organizing committee will develop the procedures to register and pay for any coaches attending the World Cup as a SUBSTITUTE for an existing team. The most likely procedure will be that a substitute will be able to register as part of a team, with the approval of the Team Captain and the RTC for the area, and pay for a separate pass after August 20th, when we have finalized the list of team and open registrations... The ticket cost will be the same, as a substitute will receive all the benefits of a team coach: meals, premiums, etc.
Please PM me directly if you have any questions.
