And we are back, 2020 mode!

It's the 8th edition of the Four Nations Cup! To be held at Pub Randolph, 408 Rue Notre-Dame, Repentigny, QC J6A 2T1, on September 24 and 25.

Here are the rules for this NAF sanctionned tourney:
- Five games of Blood Bowl, using BB2020 rules (including the latest NAF May rules review), Swiss style, on two days (3 on Saturday; 2 on Sunday) and fun to remember all your life!
- Painted teams strongly encouraged (though no points for painting them... but who wants to play grey elves anyway?)
30$ NAF members / 25$ early registration
Food and beverage on site. **NO OUTSIDE FOOD AND BEVERAGE** This is a pub venue.

TEAM CREATION:
- 110 Starting TV, minimum of 11 players; Star players & Apo allowed (Star Players not allowed in first 11 players);
- Then, you get to choose skills according to tiers:
* Tier A - 6 skills (no secondary) Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Orcs, Undead, Wood Elves;
* Tier B - 6 skills (up to one secondary) Amazons, Dwarves, Elf Union, High Elves, Imperial Nobility, Necromatic Horrors, Norses, Old World Alliance, Skavens, Underworld;

- ***** IMPORTANT: No more than 2 extra skills per player at team creation, no more than 3 per players during tourney;
- ***** IMPORTANT 2: No more than twice the same added skill on your whole roster (if you got two extra Mighty Blows, you can never get a 3rd one);
- ***** IMPORTANT 3: For every Star Player hired, you remove two extra skills;
- ***** IMPORTANT 4: If you hire Deeproot Strongbranch, Griff Oberwald, Hafklem Skuttlespike, Morg ‘n’ Thorg ou Wilhelm Chaney, you must reduce the number of skills by 4.

**** IMPORTANT 5: It is strongly recommended to use a digital roster sheet that allows to quickly calculate starting TV. Two of those (but not the only ones) can be found here (https://bit.ly/3yDC4Kf) and here (https://bit.ly/3NGFz7b).
In any case, we ask that you come in with a created roster, not to write one before tourney starts (Thanks Manu!).

- This a resurrection tourney;
- Positively no overtime;

FOUR NATIONS CUP SPECIAL RULES:

- After each game, each coach selects a player on his team, then rolls 2d6. On a double, he can select a secondary skill. On any other roll, he gets to select a regular skill.

Rest of the goodies will be bought in the upcoming days! Trophies are being 3D-printed as I write this: I'M EXCITED!

A little more than 48 hours before the roster submitting deadline!

What does submitting your deadline gives you? Here:

- A second raffle ticket for the Norse team;
- A raffle ticket for the Norse dice;
- Printed rosters by TO;
- A faster registration process on Saturday morning!

A few reminders:

- 11 players before buying stars;
- Stars cost you two (2) skills;
- Some stars cost you four (4) skills.

Please refer to the rules on the first post.

Looks like Buffalo_Chris and I will be getting together Friday night before the tournament to play some games, grab some food and probably indulge in a few drinks. If anyone else is interested let us know, a few more people will probably make for more fun too!
