PLEASE BE AWARE you need to pre-register your roster OR show up for the registration period (not all at 10:15 please) so we are ready to start playing at 11am at Dueling Grounds.
The Canadian Open is returning this year, and will be hosted in Toronto, ON. Please send a Private Message if you are interested in having somewhere to crash, we are certain we can accommodate everyone.
DATE:
March 9-10, 2013
LOCATION:
Dueling Grounds
1193 Bloor St W.
Toronto, ON
COST:
$20 - NAF Members, $30 - Non-NAF members (with $10 going towards NAF membership sign-up)
coffee & donuts provided on day 1 during registration (see schedule below)
TOURNAMENT:
5 games of Blood Bowl played over two days (3 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday) Swiss-style match-ups after game 1. Tournament is resurrection.
Tournament points are W/T/L - 3/1/0, with strength of schedule as primary tie-breaker.
We will be using the CRP rules along with the 3 additional NAF approved teams with the following exceptions:
A custom weather table will be used, weather will be rolled by top table and apply to all games.
SCHEDULE:
Since we can only play during store hours, and there is no eating in the store we will complete registration and preparations for game one at my house which is a 5 min drive or 10 min walk to the store. Will provide more details regarding this later. This also means that you must be on time to start all your games, and timers may be required should the tournament organizer deem it so. Store hours are 11-7 on Sat and 11-6 on Sun.
Saturday
Registration: 9:00am - 10:30am PLEASE PM for DETAILS
Game 1: 11:00am - 1:00pm
Lunch: 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Game 2: 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Break: 4:00pm - 4:30pm
Game 3: 4:30pm - 6:30pm
Sunday
Game 4: 11:00am - 1:00pm
Lunch: 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Game 5: 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Awards: 4:15pm - 5:00pm
TEAM BUILD:
Coaches will have 1,000,000 gold crowns with which to build a "rookie" team. Each coach must purchase a minimum of 11 players. You may also purchase re-rolls, fan factor, assistant coaches, cheerleaders and apothecaries. No skills or stat increases of any kind may be purchased. Apothecaries work as described in CRP/LRB6.0 rules and may not be used on Star Players.
Norse teams get 1 Fan Factor at no cost as this is their turf.
INDUCEMENTS:
No inducements may be purchased unless you are the coach of a “Stunty†team. Stunty teams include; Halfling, Goblin, Ogre, Underworld (without Skaven), and Lizardmen (without Saurus) teams. Stunty teams may purchase 0-1 Star Players, but must purchase 11 players before they can purchase any Star Player. Goblin teams may purchase bribes and Halfling teams may purchase a Halfling Master Chef, all as per standard CRP/LRB6.0 rules.
TEAM IMPROVEMENTS:
A player may receive a max of 2 upgrades during the entire tournament, this means you can give 2 upgrades immediately but that player becomes ineligible for random skill upgrades later.
Every team will get an extra allotment of TV to spend towards skills and stat upgrades before game 1 based on tier.
A max of 1 of each stat upgrade and 2 of each skill may be selected during this phase.
Tier 1 (70k) includes; Amazons, Chaos Dwarves, Dwarves, Dark Elves, Norse, Orcs, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elves
Tier 2 (100k) includes; Chaos, Chaos Pact, High Elves, Elves, Humans, Khemri, Lizardmen, Necromantic, Nurgle, Slann
Tier 3 (130k) includes; Halflings, Goblins, Ogres, Vampires, Underworld
After games 2 and games 4, teams will get an additional random skill - again based on tier. The 2 upgrade limit over the tournament continues to apply. Match ups will be determined before you must make your selection.
Tier 1; pick a player, pick 6 skills they can receive as a normal skill. Roll a D6 and add that skill to the player.
Tier 2; pick a player, pick 3 skills they can receive as a normal skill. Roll a D3 and add that skill to the player.
Tier 3; pick a player, pick 3 skills they can receive as either a normal or double skill. Roll a D3 and add that skill to the player.
NEW WEATHER TABLE
Being that this is the Canadian Open, we have adjusted the weather table in order to reflect our unique weather.
(2) Bitter Cold: It’s so cold that some players have got Frost Bite! Roll a D6 for each player on the pitch at the end of a drive. On a roll of 1 the player has been stricken with frost bite and may not be set up for the next kick-off.
(3) Very Sunny: Cold, but the blinding sunshine causes a -1 modifier on all passing rolls
(4) Icy Conditions: It’s exceptionally icy on the pitch causing extreme slippery conditions. To reflect this, all players that move more then 3 squares including a Blitz make a roll, on a roll of 1 the player moves an additional square in the same direction ignoring any tackle zones if the player so happens to pass through one. If a player moves into an occupied square then treat it as a push result on the block dice. In addition, the icy conditions may also result in a player sliding out of bounds or into the end zone for the winning TD!
(5 – 10) Nice: Cold but otherwise decent Blood Bowl weather.
(11) Ice Rain: It’s raining, making the ball slippery and difficult to hold. A -1 modifier applies to all catch, intercept, or pick up rolls.
(12) Blizzard: It’s cold and snowing! The horrible conditions means that any player attempting to move an extra square (GFI) will slip and be knocked down on a roll of 1-2. In addition, only quick and short passes can be attempted.
AWARDS
The following awards are available to be won. A maximum of one performance award can be won by any coach.
Performance Awards
1st Place: Awarded to the coach with the most tournament points.
2nd Place: Awarded to the coach with the second most tournament points.
3rd Place: Awarded to the coach with the third most tournament points.
Stunty Champion: Awarded to the coach with the most tournament points playing a Stunty team.
Most Touchdowns: Awarded to the coach who scored the most touchdowns.
Most Casualties: Awarded to the coach who accumulated the most casualties from blocking.
Wooden Spoon: Awarded to the coach with the lowest number of tournament points.
Hobby Awards
Best Team: Awarded to the coach whose team earned the most votes (T.O. will be tie breaking vote if required)
Canuck Attitude: Awarded to the coach with the highest amount of sportsmanship points.
PRE-REGISTRATION

Name
NAF # or ID

and attach your roster.
If you wish to pre-pay, please indicate whether you would like to use EMT or Paypal in the email.

| Can one of the locals tell me if studded tires are allowed in Ontario from Niagra Falls to Toronto? I tried finding it for myself but it seemed vague at best. Thanks. |

| The road from Niagara Falls to Toronto is a major highway, so you'd never actually need studded tires. Especially in March. I can't find anything that says that they aren't allowed though. |

Too bad you can't play in the tourney, Tristan, I think your forum signature needs to be longer 
Just wanted to add that between natsirtm and I we have plenty of crash space and live within stumbling range of one another so it should be a pretty good party Saturday night. Looking forward to seeing everyone! |

Also..quick question:
