Bryan also held a yearly event called Zlurpee Bowl for several year. An event that grew and grew every year. We will be holding raffles for prizes all weekend. These raffles will generate funds for Bryan Mitchell's family to help pay the Cancer Treatment bills.
All donations will be collected by the Both Down podcast and donate to his Go Fund Me page, https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-bryan-with-his-cancer-treatment

Orcidas Open Special Rules and Team Building
Each round the weather will get worse and worse. See last page of this document to see the Weather Table for each round.
IMPORTANT FLUFF NOTE: If the financial goals for the Orcidas Open committee are met then a Stadium with a dome will be erected just in time for the tournament and all games will have normal weather. Meaning if we get more than 30 coaches in attendance, there will be no crazy weather until the final round of the day when they decide to open the dome!
NOTE, PLEASE READ:
Orcidas Champion Series: At the Orcidas Open the OCS Committee wants an "OCS" Championship match that will profit them the most. During the last round of the tournament the #1 team in the standings will face off against the next top "OCS Chosen" team. A "OCS Chosen" team is one of the following: Black Orc, Goblin, Ogre or Orc team. This is an invite that the Coach of that "OCS Chosen" team can accept or decline, their choice. If declined it will go to the next "OCS Chosen" team in order. This is the only match of the day that could have a repeat match. This match will decide the 1st and Runner Up awards for the Orcidas Open, no matter what the standings are at the end of the final round. While many fans see this rule as odd or unfair, Orcidas committee reminds all that this event is for a noble charity.

• Remember: You cannot have the same Star Player as your opponent. If both of you attempt to field the same player, then that star player has swindled you both!! Neither of you can field them. Also, you cannot use Igors or Apothecaries on Star Players.
• Argue The Call: For this to be allowed, you MUST have a coach model that is thematically accurate for your team. No regular players or oddball figures. Final discretion is given to the organizer as to what qualifies.
**All new star players from the Second Season Edition and subsequent Spike Journals will be allowed. Second Season Edition has given Star Players each their own "Special Rule". If you have a Star Player on your roster, you are expected to explain the "Special Rule" to your opponent. Please use the something (coin, miniature, etc.) to represent when the Star Player has spent his special, once per game rule.**

More information can be found at TheNAF.net
Illegal Procedure
In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Illegal Procedures will not be called
Timing
The game round time limit WILL be strictly enforced. You will receive ‘Time Remaining’ updates from the Tournament Organizer to help you stay on pace.
The 4 Minute turn rule will not be used unless the Tournament organizer feels your game is in danger of not completing in the two hour timelimit. He may insist on a timer being used and enforcing the 4 minute turn rule.
When time is called, you will play until each coach has had equal number of turns.

Overtime
There will be no overtime played. If your game ends in a draw, it’s a draw.
Tiebreakers
The Scoring system has been setup to hopefully get the most accurate representation of how everyone has performed. If, by chance there is a tie in Tournament points, the ties will be broken by the tiebreaker points. If there is still a tie after tiebreaker points the we will break the tie in this order:
• Winning Percentage
• Head to Head record
• Net Touchdowns
• Net Casualties
• Total TDs plus Total CAS
• More donation money to the charity
• Even more donation money to the charity
If it is still a tie at that point, the tournament organizer will use his best judgment in finding a way to break the tie.
Painting
All teams are expected to meet the minimum painted guidelines. They must have 3 colors on them and have had some attempt at making them appear finished. If this is an issue, please advise us. Some discretion will be provided for new players or especially thematic teams.
Sportsmanship
We are here for the fun of the game. Sportsmanship is not encouraged from the coaches it is required!
Fouling 16 turns in a row and running up the score is not poor sportsmanship, but gloating and ridiculing your opponent while doing so is.
The tournament Organizer will strictly enforce the “Don’t be a Douche” policy. Basically, it consists of not performing any acts of Douchebaggery.
Awards
To be eligible for an award, you must have played all 4 rounds of the tournament and stay for the awards ceremony, unless there is a legitimate reason provided by the coach and they notify the organizers before leaving.
The following trophies will be given out after the last round:
o OCS Champion (1st Place)- Winner of the OCS Championship Game
o OCS Runner Up (2nd Place)– Loser of the OCS Championship Game
o Orcidas Team of the Year (3rd Place)- Most points scored after the last round not in OCS game.
o Harg Vainkill Award - Team that scored the most TDs
o Krug Painspear Award - Team that allowed the fewest TDs
o Varag Ghoul-Chewer Award - Team that inflicted the most Casualties from Blocking
o Dirty Dan Award - Highest rated Stunty Team (Halflings, Goblins, Ogre) in standings
o Orcidas Favorite - Best fan favorite team as decided by the participants of the event. It could be based on anything, your vote for the best team at the event.
o Greaser Geargrinder Award - Best Sportsman as decided by player vote. Tournament Organizer will have final say and break any ties.
o Low Down Rats Award of Excellence - Coach with the lowest number of Tournament points
Spread The Wealth
A coach may only win one award. If they are in line to win more than one award, they will be asked which one they would prefer and the next coach in line will be given the other award. Tournament organizers reserve the right to adjust the awards based on previously explained reasons or extenuating circumstances.

Orcidas Open Star Player
Cromnard Dung* aka “The Crom”
Cost MA ST AG PA AV Skills
170,000 6 4 3+ 5+ 9+ Loner (4+), Block, Break Tackle, Sure Hands, Bonehead, Fan Favorite
Plays for: Any Team
Special rules:
A Moment of Clarity- Once per half Crom can remove the Loner skill from himself before he takes an action.
League of Many Crom's- If both teams have induced Crom, the coach can choose to remove another player on the roster from the game instead of Crom.
The Crom was once the top Orc blitzer in the NAF. He had the strength to bust through the line, and the footwork to make even an elf miss a tackle! He played for the Gouged Eye, Orcland Raiders, and several of the other top Orc teams in the Old World. He was just getting into his prime and well on his way to becoming the best all-around player since Oberwald laced up his boots. What happened next is one of the most tragic tales in Blood Bowl history. NAF Commissioner, RodderGoathell held a press conference in the middle of the 2502 season to announce that The Crom has tested positive of using illegal growth potion. Testing indicated he's had this substance in his body for at least the past few years. Sadly, all the records, the awards, the trophies..... now are all marred due to violating this strict NAF policy. His team was shocked, fans disappointed, and The Crom himself went into hiding. Now, some 10 years later, he's ready to make a comeback.....if someone will just give him a chance.
