ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT
After several years, the European Blood Bowl Championship in 2022 will be finally held again, this time in Malta on the weekend of November 5th/6th. To prepare you for this, we will hold two Fumbbl NAF events: one tournament that will feature squads of four coaches able to play at EU evening times, and one tournament for individual coaches prefering to play at North-American evening times.
Both events will start on September 26th and feature a total of six matches over seven weeks (the final round will go over two weeks to accommodate attendees of the real life event). For the squad event, each coach must pick a different race, following the current Eurobowl/EurOpen ruleset.
Tournament admins: neilwat • Stimme
APPLYING A SQUAD
If you like to participate in this tournament, post the name of your squad in this forum thread:
https://fumbbl.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=32395
Make sure to add the Fumbbl names of all squad members, as well as NAF names and IDs, if available.
The deadline for submitting a squad is September 20th. The deadline for submitting individual rosters is September 23rd.
CREATING AND APPLYING A TEAM ROSTER
Before you create your team on Fumbbl, we highly suggest that you use an Excel sheet or one of the online helpers to create your team and make sure it adds up to the total amount. You can download a Eurobowl-specific Excel roster here. Find additional roster making tools on the NAF site.
Once you have decided on your setup, generate a new team following all of the subsequent steps (do not reuse an existing team!):
1. Create a new team using this link and choose your race and team name. Please add your squad identifier in brackets. E.g. [HUBBBA] Cherryville Croakers. If you are playing the single tournament for North American coaches, add [NA] before your team name.
2. On the team page, there is no need to change ‘Progression’ from ‘Standard’ to ‘None’.
3. Buy all of your players, re-rolls, etc. and click ‘submit for approval’.
4. On the following screen, select your skills.
5. When ‘Save’ is pressed to confirm your skill choices, there is no pop-up or conformation screen. You can check if your skills have saved correctly by navigating away from the screen and then checking ‘Team Options’ on your team page. You must select all skills before the start of the tournament and may not change them later.
6. NAF coaches must record their NAF nick and NAF number in the team bio section following team creation. This will help us in the future recording and ranking of online games.
7. Inducement(s) you wish to use should be left out of your team creation process and listed in the team bio. Inducements have to be announced before start of the tournament and may not be changed in-between matches!
e.g.: at the beginning of a tournament match, select only your announced inducements, as you would normally by spending your remaining treasury as petty cash.
8. Navigate to the tournament team site and use the button at the bottom at the page to apply your team.
Please view Strider’s youtube video if you need more details how to create a team.

• Use wisdom and good faith when agreeing a match with your opponent.
• We recommend avoiding Timeouts. However, if you use it, you are not allowed to do it without a first “transgression” and consequent first warning on the chat.
Ex: my opponent exceeds the time one turn, I warn him I’ll timeout next time.
You can only use a timeout if the other opponent is playing their turn, if they give an indication that they need 5 minutes or similar to deal with a real life event then they can’t be timed out for this. |
