The Second Annual Orcland Slaughter and Block Challenge, run by the Oakland Blood Bowl League ("OBBL") will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at EndGame (http://www.endgameoakland.com) in Oakland, California. The tournament will have space for 24 coaches and will consist of 4 rounds of Blood Bowl action. The tournament will be CRP, with Slann / Underworld / Pact teams also welcome.
Basic Rules
Teams must be TV 1000 (1m gp in starting value). All coaches will receive a skill package consisting of Three (3) Regular skills, one (1) double skill and one (1) mutation, with the caveat that no one player may have any more than one added skill and no skill may be selected more than twice. The regular race/team mutation limitations will not apply, so every race will have access to one mutation of the coach's choosing. For example, if you've ever been daft enough to want to see a Black Orc Blocker with Very Long Legs, well here's your chance.
The tournament is a resurrection tournament, so all injuries will be erased at the end of each round. Table 1 will roll for Weather at the beginning of each round and the result will remain the same for all tables for the duration of the round. We will also be using a modified Kick-Off Table.
Coaches may roster the following inducements into their starting TV: Babes, Bribes, Master Chef, Star Players and Wandering Apothecaries. No other inducement types will be allowed.
Tournament Schedule
The tournament schedule is:
10:00 – 10:30: Check in.
10:30 – 12:30: Round 1.
12:30 – 1:00: Break 1.
1:00 – 3:00: Round 2.
3:00 – 3:30: Break 2.
3:30 - 5:30: Round 3.
530 - 6:00: Break 3.
6:00 - 8:00: Round 4.
8:00 - 8:30: Awards.
What To Bring
You should bring …
1 – Your BB team (fully painted is always nice, but is not required).
2 – 2 copies of your roster (one for yourself and one for the Tournament Director).
3 – Your BB board, dice, templates.
4 – Copy of the CRP (if you have it).
Illegal Procedure
IP will not be called. The 4 minute rule will not be in effect unless both coaches agree to it beforehand. If it appears that a match is dragging to the point where it will delay the tournament, the Tournament Director reserves the right to implement the 4 minute rule for the remainder of the match at any time and / or end the match prematurely.
Scoring
Win: 3
Tie: 1
Loss: 0
Bonuses:
Narrow Defeat (lost by 1): .25 points.
Caused 1 more CAS than your opponent (blocks only): .25 points.
Caused 2+ more CAS than your opponent (blocks only): .5 points.
Won by 2 TDs: .25 points.
Won by 3+ TDs: .5 points.
Matchups
The first round matchups will be by random draw. Each following match will be by Swiss pairing. Overall tournament ranking will be determined by total points scored over the course of the tournament. Tiebreakers will be resolved by:
1 – Cumulative Opponent’s Score; then
2 – Head to Head Record; then
3 – TD ratio (Scored / Allowed).
If this still doesn’t resolve any ties, the remaining tied coaches will duel on Washington Avenue outside of the venue with single-shot pistols at 10 paces  .
Sportsmanship
Don’t be a dick. We’re all here to have fun. This is and should be your primary goal and mindset. The term “being a dick†will be interpreted solely by the Tournament Director, at his sole discretion. Good sportsmanship is required. Someone “being a dick†will be cautioned once. A second warning and the offending coach will be ejected from the tournament. For clarity’s sake, fouling every turn, stalling to preserve a victory and running up the score is NOT “being a dick.†Excessive gloating about it, on the other hand, is. Basically, if you have to consider asking yourself, "Am I being a dick?" then you are being one.
Awards
Each coach will be charged a $15.00 fee to participate in the tournament. All funds will be used to fund various awards for the tournament. Those funds will be spent on the following awards: Champion, Runner-Up, Most TDs, Most CAS (blocks only) and Wooden Spoon. Other prizes may be given out during the tournament at the Tournament Director's discretion.
We are all here to have a good time. This is the primary goal. Please keep this in mind. Should you wish to sign up and play in our tournament, please notify the Tournament Director at OrclandSlaughter@gmail.com and provide your contact information and your name (and your NAF ID and screen name, if you have one). You will then be given instructions on how to pre-pay for the tournament. Due to space restrictions, the first 24 people to sign up and pay for the tournament will be accepted. Overflow / empty slots may be a possibility on the day of the tournament. However, it is not guaranteed, so please sign up early if you definitely want to attend, just to reserve your space.
We look forward to seeing you there. |

Thanks to everyone who participated in the tourney yesterday. We had 16 participants, with 15 of the 16 NAF members.
The results are below. Real name [race] (NAF name) total points. The most points someone could have obtained per round is 4, based on the scoring system we had in place.
1st – Cole F. [undead] (drdookums) 12.25
2nd – Ben M. [dwarves] (Matasar) 11.25
3rd – Jeff H. [Norse] 10.25
4th – Eric B. [dwarves] (everyman) 8.5
5th – Efren C. [orcs] (edogtothemoon) 8
6th – Maurice W. [orcs] (mistmatz)7.75
7th – Brian F. [dwarves] (Frannie88) 7.5
8th – Dennis B. [Chaos Pact] (daloonieshaman) 7
9th – Dan R. [Halflings] (talarius) 6.75
10th – Jeff R. [Norse] (zootsuitjeff) 6.25
11th – Nick H. [Vampires] (deesnider) 5.75
12th – Steven E. [Chaos Dwarves] (bobpoundmax) 5
13th – Thom H. [Halflings] (skars) 4.25
14th – Eva P. [Dark Elves] (hilzari) 3.75
15th – Aaron N. [High Elves] (strahd) 2.25
16th – David H. [Goblins] (pitchinvader) 1.5
Most TDs went to Jeff H. with 7 (winning on tiebreaker). Most CAS went to mistmatz with a whopping 18 in 4 matches.
We had some pretty wacky stuff, as is common for tourneys. Troll triple skulling, goblins with a goal line pick, one match with 12 casualties by turn 10, bull centaurs with extra arms, troll slayers with claw, that sort of thing. Move of the match goes to Skars by using a halfling as a giant lawn dart to drill an opposing ballcarrier in the chest to prevent a TD.
I think that the skill package may have dictated more bash teams than flash teams, so I will revisit that idea over the next year. I am also going to look into a custom mini as the free giveaway, something inspired by our namesake the Oakland Raiders and their rabid fan base.
I may also move the tournament next year into mid October.
Again, thank you everyone for participating. If you're in or near the SF Bay Area and you didn't participate, then shame on you. |
