Final group PM, detailing all of our winners! Please feel free to spectate those big playoff encounters and the Stunty Cup!
*****
Hello, Online Welsh Openers!
The group stages of the Online Welsh Open are drawing to a close, and what a five weeks we've had! The Swiss groups are just being tided up, and then we'll be moving into our playoff phase. Here comes all of the vital information...
The Stunty Cup will be contested between Painstate's Ogres (2/1/2) and m0gw41's Halflings (also 2/1/2). Fine performances, gentlemen, now settle matters in a final playoff game! This will be a match between our most consistent Stunty operator m0gw41 and the charismatic PainState, I'm really looking forward to the build-up! Hard lines Glowworm, who just missed out on 2/0/3.
This time, we have some certificates for most TDs and most CAS in the group stages. In the tradition of NAF tournaments, we'll give the awards to coaches that haven't made the playoffs and are in the running for other prizes. Most TDs is a tie between cyg-Obsidian (Dark Elf) and lorgoth (Wood Elf) with 11. cyg-Obsidian conceded fewer TDs, so gets the nod, congratulations! Most CAS was KhorneliusPraxx with 21 (Necro). 21 CAS in five games! Claw-some. Sorry, not sorry.
Now for the playoffs! A recap of the format this time; the group winners advance to the final four, and they will be joined by the winner of a fourway between the three second placed teams and the best third place. Tiebreakers are racial tier, opponent record then net TD + net CAS. Those results were:
Group 1: Winner: Timetis (Elf), 8 pts. Second: PeteW (Dark Elf), 8 pts. Racial tier split our big two here.
Group 2: Winner: iena (Dwarves), 9 pts. Second Strider84 (Lizardman), 8 pts. Third Kaltenland (Skaven), 8 pts. Second and third here were settled by opponent score, and Kaltenland qualifies as our best placed 3rd placed coach.
Group 3: Winner: Spartako (Wood Elves), 10 pts. Second mobo (Wood Elves), 8 pts. Spartako was our only 5/0/0 coach, well done! The favourite to win it all?
So, there we have it! The final four will be Timetis, iena, Spartako and one of PeteW, Strider84, Kaltenland and mobo. The playoffs and the Stunty Cup will be set up shortly; participating coaches, please set up your games and get stuck in! We'll be slightly laxer on deadlines for the playoffs, but please crack on, and post those game times in the forum!
Thanks to everyone that joined us for the Online Welsh Open. It's been five great weeks of Blood Bowl action, and we have the playoffs to come! Please stay tuned for our next event. It's going to be a bit different, a special way to round off the year. Come November, things are going to get a little bit Dungeonbowl around here...
Thanks!
Phil / Goo. |

In a quick turnaround (so quick I missed the chance to hype it), Timetis overcame mobo and his Woodies in our final! The match required extra time, but after 20 turns, the Pro Elves were victorious. Well done, Timetis!
For those of you awaiting what is next, it's not far away...
REMEMBER! The Welsh Open is coming, and is filling up nicely. Get ye to Wales, Eurobowl 2018 host nation, for many funs! |
