Kick off the '07 BloodBowl Season in Canada's Capital City!
The Ottawa boys are holding a tournament on the final weekend in January.
It will be Swiss style using LRB5.
We have a couple of custom fields so far, Glen Jones stadium and Khorne Field.
More details and a tournament website will follow soon but we do have a location.
It will be held in the DOMINION TAVERN
This is right in the centre of Ottawa, a short stumble to the old Ottawa Jail, which is now handily a hostel http://www.hostelz.com/hostel/2107-HI---Ottawa-Jail-Hostel
As I said more details to follow!

Yeah, I will start buttering up my Mrs. now!
But JTB, you forgot to mention one of the best parts! The hostel is within staggering distance of the bar that Glenn Jones works at!
I will DEFINITELY make every effort to be there for this one!

You are sooo right. Not only Glen but Chris Wilson also works there and we are looking at a prize tie in with "The Dominion Tavern" as well. Maybe the overnight leader gets a decent bar tab as a handicap for day 2........... |

That is taking the handicaps to a WHOLE new level! Love it!
How are you going to do the painting award? As a "best painted" (just painting) or a "best team" which is painting, converting, theme, etc.? This will help me to decide what I might be doing for a team....
Also, is this going to be resurrection or league style tourney? Any skill choices before?
EDIT - Will team creation be with 1,000,000 gp? |

I don't have the final version of the rules agreed upon yet. However it is likely that we will do a "best team" rather than "best painted" although painting is still important.
I will get the basic rules up before christmas so people have time to plan.
It will probably be a little bit more than 1 million gp and we have a few extra ideas too...... |

I have posted the news on the TBBF website, so start getting the interest going there and hopefully we can start making some solid plans.
Looking foward to hearing more about these "extras" |

If you can make it to Toronto, I'll be sure to help get you there one way or another. |

UPDATE!
Ok, so the tournament will be TV115.
All teams get 5FF (this is part of the TV115)
Up to 80000 can be spent on player improvements. No player may have more than one improvement.
Leaving 1020000 for players and rerolls etc
No special play cards.
No decision on inducements has been reached yet.
No skills gained after each game, but we are having a draft......
Improvement Draft
There will be an improvements Draft at the end of day one. Probably in the dominion Tavern.
Each team will get to draft one improvement in each of 4 rounds
There will be 1 copy of each improvement (including MA, ST, AG and AV but excluding extraordinary skills) available to draft for each 12 people present.
The coach in last place at the end of day one will get to pick first in each round, followed by the second last player then the third last player and so on.
The draft order in each round will be the same.
This should give a boost to the teams at the bottom and make the teams at the top have to try harder and maybe pick some interesting unusual skills to take their teams to final day glory. |

So what will the cost be for the improvements? Will they be basically the cost of the skills as per the Team Value system in LRB5? So basically, that would mean that teams can buy four regular skills for their players, or one regular, and one doubles with 10K left over.

Anything to shake up the regular choice of skills and making coaches think outside of their comfort zone is a good thing in my opinion. And having it in the Dominion is just gravy! |

JTB,
You should post a full description of how your draft skill choice thing is going to work in the "Hosting Tournaments" section, so that we can understand how this is going to work and also so that other tournaments may choose to start using this sytem.
My one concern with it, is what if you get some coaches who can't make up their mind for the skill they want between rounds? This could really slow things down! |
