UNDERWORLD CUP 2006
Keep your calanders clear for the revival of the Underworld Cup on November 18th and 19th, 2006.
This 2 day, 5 game, NAF sanctioned tournament will be held at the U-Con gaming convention at the University of Michigan's Student Union in Ann Arbor, MI.
Information on the tournament can be found here:
http://home.comcast.net/~redhed1211/underworld.htm
(make sure to click on the Underworld Cup rules link)
Information on the convention can be found here:
http://www.ucon-gaming.org
Directions here:
http://www.ucon-gaming.org/area/directions.php
The scoring for wins/losses/ties/bonuses for TDs and Cas will similar to the Chaos Cup rules. Here are some specific changes:
-Choose 6 skills (5 regular, 1 doubles choice) before tourney to give to 6 different players
-No Star players - except Goblins, Halfling, and Ogre Teams
-Different Painting points, focused on effort, not ability
-Sportsmanship points not going toward tournament points at all
-Non GW mini's ARE allowed
**Entrance fee is $20 to get into the convention (with pre-register) and $6 for the Blood Bowl tournament.
**Living Rulebook 5.0 is now official, so this tournament will use LRB5.0.
This is my first tournament as organizer. If it's successful, in 2007, I would like to add in some other rules to make it different from some others.
I'm anticipating local players (there is a league based in East Lansing nearby), players from my old turf in Chicago, and some die-hard NAFers looking for a challenge.
My Dark Elves are now retired and I'll be bringing a new human (with a touch of chaos  ) team I'm working on. Hope to see you all there! |

I hope he can attend. I will do my best to keep a great tournament tradition running.
Should be fun. I have not been to this convention before as I just moved here from Chicago, but I like the idea of having other stuff to check out during breaks and stuff. |

I will be doing my best to attend this one especially since my wife just told me I'm not allowed to go the Zlurpee tournament like I had planned.

I was hoping to play the Iron Chefs at ZB II, but I guess I can wait until Chaos Cup. |

I think I've told you this already, but I'm planning on attending this tourney. I've got two guys, maybe as many as four, tentatives also.
I'll let Darb27 and Darktremere speak for themselves, though. |

Really want to try and play a Vampire team with the new LRB 5.0 rules for them and see how they do.

I'm tempted to make it up there, as my former inlaws live up in Whitmore Lake, and I'm sure they'd be happy to have a weekend to spend with their grandson.
Plus it's been forever since I played Doug or John up there in Michigan.

A slight possibility that myself & Talons from Niagara Falls ON may make it, but not for sure.

Last night I finished my Underworld Cup trophy. Based off the widely seen BB Dagger trophy.
I wanted to do a repaint to make it darker and more Underworldish. Also I found this pack of mini Spawn figures and 3 out of the 4 look great on top of a trophy. If it works out, I'll put a different one on the trophy for the year after!
So the winner will get this lovely trophy to take home and impress the ladies with. They will also get first dibs on the prize pool described in the previous post.
Another prize I'll have is this rare Blood Bowl poster straight from Andy Hall's stash. Arms not included.
I will let you know when online pre-registration is available..... |
