If you follow the links from the "Blood Bowl Kubla Cup - The Street II" game entry on the Kublacon website, full rules are provided (although they are dated from the 2010 KublaCup). It looks like the 2010 edition was NAF-approved. I hope 2011 will be as well.  |

Yeah, I tried contacting that email address as well - no response.
Ah well, I'll pack my minis and hope for the best! |

| It looks like Kubla Cup is scheduled, I'll do my best to show up for this. I'm a bit confused, can streetbowl tournaments be NAF approved? |

Much like other Blood Bowl variants, Streetbowl tournaments have been NAF approved in the past and I expect that to remain the same going forward. |

| Do you have any updates to standings? I'd love to see how the West and East are doing in their standings! We have a pretty good fight going on here in the MIDWEST! I created a thread here with a link to my point spreadsheet -- check it out |

| I've added Locations and dates to the standings spreadsheet to make your travel planning easier. There are still more than half the year's events to go, make your plans now! |

Are you giving all these tournaments the same rating, or is there a spread between an 8-man tourney, 16-man, 30-40 man, 50-70, 100 and over? To be honest it's much more impressive to win a 60-man tournament then it is to win a 12-man, and the points in the Grand Prix should reflect that I think.
2 cents.

| a win is a win GJ. Regarless of number of players events are judged on scores. With that said, if you based it on mumber of games to reach the win, now that is slightly different |

| My motivation is to encourage players to attend as many separate events as possible, not necessarily the largest events or the most days etc. Attending and placing in a larger event should be a reward in itself, with greater prize support, etc. So the only limitation is that you need at least 10 participants in a tourney for it to count for full points as an event. |

Oh hey don't get me wrong Jeff I'm not dissing it, I love the Grand Prix idea and completely understand the rationale behind it is to encourage more tournaments and more participation. I'm just trying to throw ideas out there and expand the Prix as it's still in it's first year.
Thunderkrunch was a 1-day 14-man tournament by the end of the day that we ran this June. Rat City Rumble was a 1-day 32-man tournament in Seattle that RCR ran this year. I would completely understand why Murray would earn more points in the Prix for winning RCR than Andy winning TK. I also know that both of those guys would agree with me and neither would be offended if one tournament ranked higher than the other because one was clearly a deeper pool of coaches than the other.
It's not because one was better by being bigger, but again winning a 176 man Blood Bowl shouldn't be the same as winning a 14 man Thunderkrunch if the points are to mean anything. If the points of the Prix are strictly to encourage participation than the only stat that's relevant at the end of the day is the # of tournaments you played in then.
And setting up different scoring criteria for # of coaches doesn't take away for cross participation at all which is the original intent of the Prix, nor does it only encourage players to travel to larger tournaments: all is does in my honest opinion is further encourage individual TOs to try and push their T-10 tournament to a T-16 next year, and then a T-20/30, T-40/50, T-60/70 and so on. Meant to help the Prix not hurt it.
This is exactly how Golf and Tennis rankings are formed. A Major, or T-128 tournament in tennis has more ATP rankings then a Masters Series T-64 tournament, but a Masters has more rankings than a smaller T-32. I understand that more games are being played the larger it gets as tennis tournaments are knock out by nature whereas our # of games are fixed depending on preference and number of days and not number of coaches, but I think the analogy still applies.
Anyway those are just my thoughts. Again great job setting this up Jeff and hope to see you back at the Spike! one of these years. I'll definitely see you at the NAFWC in Amsterdam - looking forward to it!
Sincerely,
Craig. |
