TEAM BUILD:
1.1mil team build to start. 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.

INDUCEMENTS
No inducements may be purchased unless you are the coach of a â€œStuntyâ€ team. Stunty teams include; Halfling, Goblin, Ogre and 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
Each team may choose between one of two skills packages after team creation. You may choose either:
â€¢ 5 regular skills
or:
â€¢ 2 regular skills + 2 doubles skills

As well, to promote race diversity, certain races are given additional skills. The following races get additional skills as listed:

â€¢ Chaos, Chaos Pact, High Elves, Elves, Humans, Khemri, Nurgle, Slann, Khorne: 1 additional regular skill
â€¢ Halflings, Goblins, Ogres, Vampires, Underworld: 1 additional regular skill + 1 additional doubles skill

There is a 0-2 cap on any skill during team creation, meaning no skill may be taken more than twice during the team creation stage. As well, no player may receive more than one skill upgrade during team creation.

Skills Draft

After the third game, there will be a skills draft where coaches may select new skills/improvements. A coach may only select improvements which are accessible to their race through standard skill selection (ie normal, doubles or stat increase rolls on the improvement table). No player may gain more than two skills/improvements during the tournament.

Each coach will be given 45 seconds to pick a skill/improvement. If the coach does not pick within that time, they lose their spot and the next coach picks. The coach will get to pick a skill at the end of the round rather than at their selection time. Each coach may pick one skill/improvement per round. There will be four rounds in the draft; therefore each coach will select four skills/improvements.

The draft order will be seeded by tournament position at the end of play after the third game. Only tournament points from gaming will be used to determine ranking. The team with the lowest ranking will pick first and the other coaches will follow in reverse ranking order, i.e. first place will chose last, and last place will chose first in each and every round. The draft order will be the same for each round.

For each 12 players, or part thereof, there will be one full set of skills and improvements available for the draft. Because of the limited number of skills available during the draft, the lower ranked coaches will have a better chance to select the more sought after skills, (i.e. stat increases, block, dodge, guard), while the higher ranked coaches will be forced to choose less common skills. The result of this will hopefully give the lower ranked coaches a chance to make their way back up the ranks, and also result in less common skills combinations being selected.

TIMERS
Each round, coaches have 2hrs 15 minutes to play their games. 3.5 minute timers are encouraged to be used for this tournament, to keep gameplay moving, this can be agreed upon by both coaches.
At the one hour mark of each round, the TO will announce the half way point of the round. If any matches have not complete their first half, a timer will be enforced. Each coach will be given a timer and have 30 minutes to play the remaining portion of their game. If either coaches timer runs out, that coaches only actions from that point on can be to roll over and stand up their players if they choose. Once all turns have been played or both coaches timers run out, the match is over.

I will be coming from Montreal. I do not know how to change my location.

Get in the Urn!

EDIT:

I'm looking at Motel Ritz. Cuz across the street, and fairly cheap.

Where are people staying for the weekend?!?!

Car pool action from down south coaches?

who is thinking of making the trip?

Blank_Page - Dec 18, 2017 - 06:29 PM
Post subject:

I booked Motel Ritz for the Saturday. I'll be driving in from Montreal Saturday morning.

I guess we pay at the door? Says I can save $5 for my NAF renew if I pay live. Does this mean I get my dice on the spot, or is that promo a thing of the past?

I'm in. Coming from Renfrew if anyone needs a lift from the Ottawa Valley.

Guess I should move faster on my painting!

jrock56 - Jan 05, 2018 - 11:00 PM
Post subject:

What about the inclusion of Khorne and Brettonians as an option as the new year in NAF has them included for tournaments? Not that I am going to play them if I am able to make it but thought it worth mentioning.

I know if Glenn makes it out he will most likely want to play Khorne in several tourneys this year. Hoping to get the time off work for the Saturday and I would be good to go.

Chewblocka - Jan 06, 2018 - 10:44 AM
Post subject:

From what I can tell, both Brets and Khorne have been included in the new tournament software and are officially allowed at NAF sanctioned tournaments. So shouldn't be a problem. Would love to have my Brets done to frustrate Glenn with as much Fend as possible. Twisted Evil

Dags says they are welcome at the CCKO. I'm playing Brets for CCKO this year.

My understanding is they are live and good to go at all NAF events but that T.O.'s can make the call to include or not.

jrock56 - Jan 06, 2018 - 03:51 PM

Also for team build on Brets and Khorne what tier are they being considered as tier 2 and 3 teams get extra skills during team creation?

Chewblocka - Jan 06, 2018 - 04:20 PM
Post subject:

https://www.thenaf.net/2017/09/additional-races-vote/

This article puts both teams as lower tier 1/upper tier 2. Similar to Humans and High Elves. However, there isn't as much data on each team as there is on the others. They were pulling any stats from Cyanide and I'm not sure what the final ruling is. Erring on the side of caution, I would argue that both teams might fall under tier 1 for now until more data can be compiled. Of course I would prefer tier 2, but we don't want to make them too crazy right off the bat... or do we?

Gaixo - Jan 07, 2018 - 05:19 AM
Post subject:

There was a poll on TFF about this. Most thought Bretonnians were Tier 1 and Khorne were Tier 2 (assuming 3 tiers).

I think you're safe putting Khorne in Tier 2 (they're expensive and don't start with any key skills), but it's obviously your prerogative.

Chewblocka - Jan 07, 2018 - 12:13 PM
Post subject:

That sounds reasonable. Thanks Gaixo. Now to wait for the word.

Just got word on time off for the Saturday so it looks like I'll be coming now! Just need to choose a team and build a roster..hmmm.

In other news now that I am playing I can also host a few of the guys from out of town if there are still people looking for a place to stay. Shoot me a msg, I should be home Friday afternoon to host. See you all soon,

Hey Notorious, the unexpected pop up it is! Long time no chat, don't know if you heard back from Zap...Chewwie...whatever he is calling himself these days yet? I'll be driving down Sat morning, most likely picking Glenn up on the way as well and have a few of the guys staying at my place for the weekend.

If you still need a ride let me know so I can plan to leave a few minutes earlier to pick you up before I grab Glenn.

See you all Saturday AM!!
