i'm always a fan of winning means X points.
i dont like having to win by X to earn more points, but so many bb touraments are setup that way.
If you WIN you win. should not matter if it was 1 td or 3tds. |

At first, I didn't understand why BB tournaments gave so many points, such as: 50 for a win; 30 for a tie; 10 for a loss. I realize now that these are combined with other points (sportsmanship/painting/casualties/etc.)
I don't like it.
I'm a sports fan and the way I would assign points is like other 'real' leagues: 2 (or 3) for a win; 1 for a tie; ZERO for a loss. A popular trend is to give points for an overtime loss ("keeping it close"?). Perhaps this system could be used:
win: 2 (or 3) points
tie: 1 point
loss by one touchdown ("keeping it close"): 1 point
loss: 0 points
Sportsmanship, casualties, and best painted team, would be seperate awards. |

I think the 'soft points' are to keep interest in the tournament. Some people will just go home once they realize they can't even place in a tournament. Bonus points makes it not so obvious that you are out of the running, thus encouraging people to stay and play the games.
Even with only 12 coaches show up, this was an enjoyable tournament...very competitive...going into the last round, there were 4 teams tied for 2nd place...and only 25 pts behind 1st place. With a couple of coaches only 20pts behind that...so over half the field was within one win of 1st place going into game 6.
I went 2-2-2 with my Dwarves...won my 1st two games impressively, but then couldn't seem to catch a break from then on out (combination of playing better players and rolling bad dice)...
I think I ended up in 6th place over all..can't get more average than that... |

| Casualties and touchdowns... Painting and Sportsmanship are very nearly always an added bonus at the conclusion of the tourney. |

Everyone has different Ideas on how a tourney should be run....So if you think it should be a certain way....Run your own tourney  |

| I think there was a mistake in entering the results, seems round five was entered twice in place of round 6. |

lol, rut ro raggy ?
I scored a 70 point win in round 6 and a 50 pt win in round 5, if you need to cross reference my points. I can do every round actually
Rd 1 70 pts vs. hafling (W +cas+2td diff)
Rd 2 30 Pts vs WE (L + Cas+ kept close)
Rd 3 20 Pts vs Dwarves (xtreme)(L+ kept close)
Rd 4 60 Pt vs. Norse (win + cas)
Rd 5 50 pts vs Chaos Dwarves (win)
Rd 6 70 pts vs Dwarves (gortex) (win+ cas +2td diff) (LUCKY)
15 pts painting
315 pts + sportsman if needed
if we need to switch places we will have to figure out how to do it  |

No I'm pretty sure the tournament standings were done correct. I'm pretty confident that you won. I just think there was a goof up when they were entered into the NAF for rankings. |

| Will these errors be corrected? My current raking for Chaos Dwarfs will increase by a slight bit when this is fixed. The match reports have me listed as losing my last match to the same person that I lost to in the previous round. I can't remember if I won or tied my last match, but I am absolutely positive that I did not lose it. Thanks. |

| thrud, i pmed old man munkey (the other chaos dwarf player at the tourney) but no reply yet. I fail to see how it's unfair that you lost double points to me however.... j/k maybe i'll talk andy into pming someone, since he is our naf organizer guy here. |
