Empire Cup 2015 Rule Set (v1.0): http://1drv.ms/15aD1bG
**Where is this being held?
Game Master Games
954 S Broadway Hicksville, NY 11801
**What is the Empire Cup?
The Empire Cup is a NAF-sponsored resurrection-style tournament utilizing a Swiss pairing system. This means that any injuries sustained in one game will not carry over to the next. The tournament will be one day and feature four guaranteed games for participating teams.
**Is this tournament part of the East Coast Tournament Series?
Yes!!!
**What are the rules for creating a team?
All teams from LRB6 are allowed plus experimental teams plus Skinks (10-16 with 0-1 Kroxigor) and Warpstone Goblins (12 Underworld Goblins, 0-1 Warpstone Troll).
You have 1,100,000 gold crowns to build a team consisting of a minimum of 11 players. You may purchase fan factor, rerolls, assistant coaches, cheerleaders, and/or an apothecary per each team’s usual rules. Inducements may also be purchased at their standard price as permanent part of the team. Star players may also be purchased as a permanent part of the team, however you must already have 11 players on your roster before doing so. If two teams playing each other purchase the same star player, they will both be able to use the star player.
Once your team is created, you are given an additional 100,000 gold crowns to spend on player skills. Normal skills cost 20k, doubles cost 30k. No stat upgrades allowed. You can only buy any one skill up to four (4) times and a single player can only be given two (2) skills.
**Are there any painting or modeling requirements?
Any miniatures are allowed, however each of the models of a particular position must be easily identifiable as such (similar poses, features, etc.). Each of the models must be numbered clearly. Painting your models should involve a minimum of 3 colors. There will be a reward for the best painted team as voted by all participants.
**How do you determine the winner of the tournament?
The most points at the end of the tournament will win. Ties will be broken by strength of schedule. The two players who are at the final table in the last round will finish 1-2, so the loser at the final table will be the second place finisher even if they finish behind one of the other players after losing in the finals.
In addition, the top two stunty teams will face each other in Stunty Cup finals. The winner will be the Stunty champion. Should one of the top stunty teams make the tournament final table (and the second stunty team not), that team will automatically win the Stunty Cup and will be hailed in the annals of Blood Bowl history as being piloted by the greatest Stunty coach of all time. Seriously, we’ll plaster it all over the Talk Fantasy Football site.
Scoring will go as follows:
Win: 60pts
Draw: 30pts
Loss: 10pts
TDs: 2 pts ea. (maximum of 4 per game for 8 pts)
Cas: 2 pts ea. (maximum of 4 for 8 pts) (including fouls but not crowd-induced injuries). Brooklyn rules baby!
Long Island Themed Team: +10pts (This is open mostly to interpretation, but could involve Long Island towns as their homes, Long Island landmarks as mascots or other interpretations as well.)
**What awards can I win in the tournament?
The Montauk Lighthouse Award (winner of final table in final round)
The Orient Point Award (final table in final round, but didn’t win finals match)
The Beach Comber Award (most points not at the final table in the final round)
The Long Island Lolita Award (least points in the tournament)
The Snob Costas Award (best stunty team)
The Suffolk Award (most touchdowns)
The Queens Award (best defense/least touchdowns)
The Brooklyn Award (most casualties)
The Nassau Award (sportsmanship/theme winner)
The Soho Award (best painted team - can be won by a winner of another award)
**I hear this is a big deal in the New York area. Are there any stars coming to the tournament?
As a matter of fact there are! There are five local stars that have played in the Long Island Blood Bowl League that will be available for you to purchase as part of your team. All have a championship pedigree, we assure you. All stars are available to all teams. For more info, see the tournament rule set at: http://1drv.ms/15aD1bG
**What is the schedule of play?
We’ll be opening the doors at 10am for registration. You need to be there as close as possible to that time so that we can start on time. The matches will be limited to 2 hours in length, no timed turns. At the end of two hours, games will end and we’ll total up the scores, preparing for the next round. The tournament should be over around 9:30pm. There will be meal breaks.
**How much is this tournament going to cost?
The cost will be $21 for NAF members (including PayPal fees), $31 for non-NAF members (including PayPal fees). All fees should be made via PayPal to empirecupbb@gmail.com.
**Are there any other prizes or giveaways that we may receive at the tournament?
There will be a special prize for everyone who preregisters at least 10 days before the tournament.
**I have questions!!!
If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Tournament Organizing Staff at empirecupbb@gmail.com. |
