It's the seventh edition (TAKE 2) of the Four Nations Cup! To be held at Pub Randolph, 408 Rue Notre-Dame, Repentigny, QC J6A 2T1, on October 2nd and 3rd.

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 VII, where he plans to again wreck havoc on the pitch!

Here are the rules for this NAF sanctionned tourney:

- Five games of Blood Bowl, using CRP/BB2016 rules, Swiss style, on two days (3 on Saturday; 2 on Sunday) and fun to remember all your life!
- Painted teams only (though no points for painting them... but who wants to play grey elves anyway?)

30$ NAF members / 25$ early registration (see forum post)

- After each game, each coach selects a player on his team, then rolls for a new skill, as if that player had reached the next SPP level.

Hi SBG,

quick question given my roster has Gnoblars on it? In their Spike #8 specific to the Ogres they have the disposable skill, which basically states that the Gnoblars don't count towards the teams value. Does that mean that my team value will be 920k instead of 1100k (9x20=180k) to start my matches and give me 180k for inducements in each of my games? It didn't mention anything in the ruleset and it is a fairly unique scenario that would only come up with Ogre teams? Thoughts on this?

I sent the same msg on FB so if you have answered there then disregard here.

See everyone in the morning!! Can't wait!

I am interested in hearing how you guys resolved this. IMO it doesnt factor in at all in a tourney setting but only in a league match. they might not count to TV but it doesnt really matter in a tourney match. they cost what they cost to buy and there is no inducement phase unless TO has it in the event rules. hope you all had a great one.

Hahaha, had a blast in our game! When playing Ogres you need to celebrate the little things and count every win you can get lol...as it usually doesn't last and things can go south rather quickly Very Happy

Just ask Taxal in my last game..I got one last dance in but the rest of the game was ugly!! 4-1 loss with 8 CAS against quite painful Wink

Ogres are a ton of fun though even with things going sideways on any given turn or should I say multiple boneheads in a given turn haha!
