You know you liked it, so why not come over again?!?!

It's the fifth edition of the Four Nations Cup! To be held at Pub Randolph, 6505 des Écores, corner Beaubien, Montreal, on September 22nd and 23rd.


Popol le Bleu, the official wizard of the Ligue des Quatre Nations, never, and he means NEVER, gets tired of messing up your games, so he decided to put on another one! Hence, Four Nations Cup V, where he plans to again wreck havoc on the pitch!

Here are the rules for this NAF sanctionned tourney:

- Five games of Blood Bowl, Swiss style, on two days (3 on Saturday; 2 on Sunday) and fun to remember all your life!
- Official NAF tourney rules (https://www.thenaf.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/NAF-Rules-Update-v1-3.pdf);

UPDATE 2:

I also strongly suggest people use this Excel roster sheet (http://www.aros.bloodbowlleague.com/?p=cp&cpid=1) to build its roster so we don't have to wait for pencilsheet the morning of the tourney. I'm talking to you, Manu.

Edit on update 2: Use it, then print 3 copies for Saturday morning. Still talking to Manu.

One week to go indeed!

A few things:

Impact! Miniatures and FF minis (ffminis.com) are sponsoring the tourney this year, as well as Pub Randolph. As part of their sponsorship, FF minis offer every attendant a 10% rebate on their website. You can shop this week, contact them and let them know what you want, they'll bring it for you free of shipping charge at the tourney. They'll also offer 10% at their booth during the weekend.

A bit overwhelemd by the nu,bers of attendees, I would ask if possible that you send me your roster in advance this week (freddaigle75@gmail.com) for pre-approval. This will speed up the registration process on Saturday.

If people are still hesitating, please don't! We got room left!

Wow! The fun we had!

18 coaches turned out for an epic edition of la Coupe des Quatre Nations, where Popol le Bleu created enough havoc for an entire year!

Congrats to Buffalo_Chris, who thanks to Quick Snap in the 4th round, was able to sneak to the top of the podium with his Wood Elves! Wink Chris also had the most TDs of the weekend with 14 in 5 matchs.

Taxal (Dan Chaput) and his Chaos dwarves had a strong second day to jump up to second place. Dan had the best defense of the weekend, allowing only 2 TDs. He rounded up his day by taking the Triple Skulls competition.

My Dwarves maimed the competition to climb on the podium's last step. My 20 Causalties were unmatched!

We had 5 coaches who were playing in their first NAF tourney. Déesse_Isa (Isabele Cousineau) and her Chaos Dwarves were best rookie. Despite Manz62 (manuel Leclerc) crying all weekend like a little girl, Isabelle also took the Best Female trophy back home.

There were many firsts at this 5th edition: first time with stunty teams, and firts time that someone fielded a Star Player. If I remember correctly, we had 4 different SP.

Intak (Simon Maltais) won the Stunty Shield, while Ploi7 (Olivier Lord), the other Stunties with his Ogres, well... let's just say not everybody can finish in the top-17! Wink But olivier had a great set-up and for the first time ever, the rest of the World could see the magic of the C4N while he put his games on Facebook Live!!!

Big_Mike (Michel Moreau), a new NAF member, went away with the Sportsmanship Award as well as the Best Painted trophy. His 4ven9ers, humans painted to the colors of the San Fancisco 49ers, caught the eyes of his peers.

Finally, Rando (Ryan Mackenzie)'s wizard was the Golden Popol by killing the ball carrier he targeted!

The venue, Pub ludique Randolph, was SPEC.TA.CU.LAR! Food was great, and they sold some cool beverages too...

Chris, the Master of Trophies, and I are aiming at nothing less than 24 players next year!

Until then, thank you all and don't forget to mention us at other tourneys!

I hope to do it! The World cup is the first week of October though, so it might be hard to be away from home for a tournament right before as well.

Great practice, but not great diplomacy................
