| I don't know for other countries but, in France, many subscriptions (with payment) should be done from mid december to end of december (to benefit from the early bid price). In my opinion, number of teams which subscribed will be more representative in 2 months than now. |

| The WorldCup Rule Committees decided that the WC4 rules review will not be published until January 1st. Thus, the Fumbbl data from the current NAF online tournament can be used as a better basis for evaluation based on the WorldCup rules. |

Today is a day to remember the good ol' days, when the World Cup was a small, family atmospheric event and was still considered the largest Blood Bowl tournamnet ever. Nowadays, numbers of certain tournaments in Spain and France reach the numbers easily, at least it seems so. Then Andrea Parella came and organized the World Cup in Lucca at a time when Blood Bowl wasn't supported for years and people believed it was going to die. Andrea Parella and his group put an event together that not only doubled the numbers of the previous World Cup, but the organization went flawless and it left coaches and visitors in awe for the weeks and months afterwards. Many people believe that the World Cup in Lucca opened the eyes of Games Workshop about what great product they had ignored for the past years. Lucca was an impressive display of how great the Blood Bowl community is and that they stick together, supported or not, and enjoy an extended weekend of not only playing the game they love (and/or hate), but meeting friends, making new friends from other countries and continents, and have a beer (or water for the poor designated driver souls) with their opponents and laugh about their mishaps when Nuffle showed them their boundaries.
Let me personally thank Andrea and his team again for the great Blood Bowl event they have organized and I hope that people will enjoy Dornbirn as much as they have enjoyed Lucca, just with even more Blood Bowlers, because today Lucca became only the second largest tournament in the World. Congratulations to winning the silver medal and I hope in 4 years time my team and I can feel as proud as him to be "only" second. |

Three months after registration started we have 1171 coaches registered. There are 185 squads, where 7 squads come with 7 coaches. In addition there are 53 single sign-ups, which will be put together into 9 additional squads.
These coaches come from 5 continents and 32 countries, with 2 countries still putting squads together. There will be 7 new countries countries compared to any previous World Cup, while 2 countries have not signed up coaches, who were in Lucca.
A special mentioning of our Top 10 (relative and absolute compared to Lucca):
Countries with the highest increase in percentage (only countries which have sent 10+ coaches to Lucca)
1. USA +192%
2. GER +182%
3. AUT +117%
4. ENG +91%
5. SWE +90%
6. POR +78%
7. BEL +58%
8. SWI +56%
9. NED +46%
10. FRA +28%
Countries who send the highest absolute increase of coaches compared to Lucca
1. GER +109
2. FRA/ENG +52
4. POL +24
5. USA +23
6. SWE +18
7. AUT +14
8. BEL +11
9. MAL +10
10. POR/NOR/CZE +7
The Rules Committee of the World Cup has come together and decided to drop the Average-Tier-Tiebreaker. The reasoning behind that is that results of tourneys, which use the WC4 ruleset, have shown that the tiers 1-3 are very equal in success and a further boost of lower tiers, which the average-tier-tiebreaker would have provided would be too much. Also worth mentioning is that the rules will be according to the latest NAF annual review of tournament rules, i.e. only starplayers which are mentioned in CRP, BB2016, DZ1, DZ2 and Spike!-Journals 1-3 will be available at the World Cup. Any new starplayer mentioned in later Spike! Journals (most recently the Undead Spike!) will not be eligible at the World Cup in Dornbirn. It is also worth mentioning that the Piling On rule will be used according to CRP (no Re-Rolls needed).
The updated Excel sheet is also available now on the Webpage. Unless any errors will be reported on that Excel sheet, the version v3.0 will be used and to make it clear: the usage is mandatory, no previous version or paper copy scan or PDF format will be accepted when submitting the team rosters in August. |

Wow.
Amazing stuff.
I will use your updated rules at the CCKO this month. I am sad to see the tiebreaker go but i can believe the rationale to be true. |

Final numbers will be published on the weekend, since some people have not paid yet and they might be dropped from the list.
On the other hand, we have started to send the first wave of emails in regards to squad assemblies from the single sign-ups. This will also be completed until the weekend.
Busy times for the orga right now, so please be patient when waiting on an answer to your mails/questions. |

While people are waiting for the publication of the final numbers, here is some reading material:
GAME TIME:
The orga, the refs and the NAF committee have been taking about the need of chess clocks. Here is the guideline we came up with:
- There is no necessity for a mandatory chess clock for every game.
- Every coach has the right to ask their opponents to use a chess clock for the game, but he opponent has the right to refuse. This has to be accepted.
- The referees will supervise all games and tell coaches if they are running into a major delay.
- After 1 hour of game time, a coach may demand the use of a chess clock if the referee is the opinion that the game is delayed to an extend that they would not finish in time (the decision about being delayes is with the referees, not the coaches)
TOLL ROADS
If you are travelling by car, please be advised that you need to pay toll stickers for Switzerland and Austria if you want to use the Autobahn. If you come from Zurich, an Austrian sticker might not be needed, unless you plan to do some sight seeing in Germany or Southern Vorarlberg. If you come from Germany, it is highly recommended to take a 10-day sticker. There is a way through the cities, but it's highly stressfull if you have travelled already seveal hours. I would not trust Google maps on driving time through Bregenz and Lauterach.
AIRPORT SHUTTLE BUS
We will offer shuttle buses from Zurich airport on October 3 and October 7. A one-way-ticket will cost not more than 25 EUR. For the other airports the demand was not big enough to rent a bus. We will work out other means of transportation from Munich, Stuttgart, Memmingen and Friedrichshafen airports. Please take a look at the website after April 16, we will put up a shuttle bus booking page.
SHUTTLES BUSSES during the event.
There will be shuttle busses going every 30min to our partner hotels in Dornbirn, Bregenz and Hard. The shuttle busses will be running just before game time and then in the evening again. We ask all coaches to also use the early busses and not everybody cram into the last bus (that will not work). Coaches who are not staying in the partner hotels, can also use the shuttles, but have to walk to the bus stops. A map with all the bus stops will be published in summer.
SQUAD AND COACH LISTS
Due to the fairly strict European data protection laws, we will only publish a list of squad names later this month. Coach nicknames will only be published after a coach has given their written consent. Forms will be provided on the website later this month. For all the people moaning: In Lucca there was no coach list published as well, so stop whining 
DICE
Every coach will get a dice set of 6 dice: 3 Block dice, 2 six sided dice and 1 eight sided die. The dice are made by official partner Akaro Dice, which will also be present at the event. While the use of these dice is not mandatory, we kindly ask you to use them during the event to avoid possible discussions about broken or shaved dice. We also highly recommend to use a dice cup (not plastic withou felt inside) or a dice tower for the same reason. Also, discuss BEFORE a game about what is considered a cocked or stacked dice and how you will handle it (all dice rolled again or only the cocked/stacked ones)
MUSIC
We will have a special Hurry-Up song composed by Holger Seidemann of musicSound®. Once you hear that song, it's time to get your game done fast. Holger will also compose a special World Cup Hymn for us. |

Final numbers after Registration has closed:
1429 Coaches from 38 countries, 6 continents in 235 Squads competing for the World Cup trophy.
19 Squads have 7 coaches, there will be a threesome game each round.
In order to compensate for short notice drop-outs or no shows, there will be 3 temporary squads of single sign-up coaches, which will be distributed to fill in the gaps as well as playing Orga-members. The 19 7-coach-squads will also be asked to help out with their "spare coach" in case there are more than 20 gaps to fill.
Most Squads have gotten their tournament ticket vouchers, the remaining squads will get their vouchers in the week after April 16.
Stay tuned for more |
