My wife already yelled at me for having every family trip involving a tournament. That was last year.
I've been trying to find the happy medium, but haven't succeeded yet.  |

Maybe you should check out the thread I started in the General section called "Being 'allowed' to go to tournaments"!

I have read it.
We have talked about things but probably not as clearly as we could. I'm still figuring out how to share a life with someone else. I am getting better and so are "we" as well. |

Just finished converting me a new Skaven team for the bruhaha. I can only hope that I can get it painted up in time as I have a few comminsion items I need to get done first. They should be done in time and man do they look great so far as I used the new plastic plague monks for the team whooohaaaaa.

Nice! Can't wait to see the paint job 
I made a post about this in the hosting tournaments section, but would any of you who actually plan on attending let me know what you think of allowing two coaches to tag-team at the event (one plays Saturday and one plays Sunday). Obviously the games would count for each coaches' own NAF ranking.

I'm hoping to attend so my vote might count.
I'd say let them play, but they couldn't get any awards except best painted. You dont need 5 games to have a good painted team. |

I just read the article and voted yes.
But just to clarify, that would only be for coaches who cannot play on both days - it would not be imposed on all coaches. I mean that would suck to come all that way only to be able to play for one day.
Now if I could only settle on a team and finish painting it.....

Mel,
Just reading the rulebook for the tourney, and was a bit confused for a while there. For skill advancement it says that the coach gets two skills before the tourney and after rounds one, two and four. At first I thought that they got two skills after every game - but the bottom part which tells the number of skills in total makes it clearer. You might want to throw a line in there which clarifies that there is only one skill given after rounds one, two and four.
But reading the rulebook is getting me hyped! More sure than ever that I want to be there!

Thanks Spazz, I just clarified that little point in the rules.
Last year, one of the guys was having a hard time with being away two days and having a brand new son at home, so when he asked me Saturday night I told him he could step out and I would cover the last two games as I was the odd man out. He had a shot at a high finish as he was 1/2/0 (W/T/L) at the time, but I only won one of the two remaining games.
This year, he and another guy both can only make one day each (luckily opposite days) and are trying to pre-plan it. I just wanted to run it by folks before going with my gut answer of yes. I do see the reasoning on the ineligible for top prizes and I think they'll be ok with that. I would still leave them eligible for best painted and best conversion (although to be honest unless they pull something out of their ass and WOW me, they aren't going to be contending with the likes of Bampf, Grasshopper, and Zinak) |

There is a chance I'll be there also, so here is my two cents on the issue...
I think it'd be fine to let people play one day and then let a new coach take their slot on day two. The NAF rankings will only be impacted by the games that they play so it's no real bother to any of the other participants.
Regarding winning an award...I don't think that anyone who does not play the entire tournement should be eligable for ANY awards. Even best painted...lets reward someone who is prepared to travel and participate in the entire tourney. If someone has a bad tourney and a nicely painted team shouldn't they be rewarded for sticking it out? No offense to the folks who can't make it for both days, but I don't think that they should be able to walk away from a the tourney with a prize when somone else has a nicely painted team, can play the whole tourney, and walk away empty handed.
And just for another way of looking at it...how about if someone plays Ogres on day one and has 18 casualties and can't make it for day two. If 18 casualties is the leader spot...why shouldn't that earn them a trophy?
Again...just my $.02
-Rob |

| Good point Rob, and I hope you can make the trip. It would be easy enough to look at their total casualties and total touchdowns by day so they could grab those honors if they actually had some freakish luck. I think best painted and best conversion are a moot point anyways with these two so I have no problem ruling that either way. |

My Ogres never got most Casualties. We have allowed fewest TDs twice and would have made it 3 if it weren't for that damn Pro Elf team of Skummy's I gave up more TDs in that one game than in the previous 3 tourneys.... <vomit>  |
