Welcome back for the SECOND year!
I wanted to thank everyone for for getting us off to a great start last year.
There are several new things to talk about for the tournament this year.
There's tweaks to the rules set which should liven thing up a lot for coaches new and old!
I'm also welcoming in two new Races into the fold for the bashing mayhem.
I'll be going into each of these things in detail right here! Keep your eyes open here for more! |

I'll be at Origins this year as well, and plan on playing in this tourney.
Question: Will the use of Humans as proxies for Brettonians be allowed? All players will be clearly identifiable. |

if you're up front with your opponents and the models are clearly identifiable then I see no reason at all why not. Bretts ARE humans, after all.
I look forward to seeing you there and how the Brets do in the tournament. I've only seen them on the PC game to date. |

There are a few things different about the tournament rules sets this year.
There aren't a great many differences but they are important ones.
Team/Roster creation
Coacheswill now need to have eleven players before hiring a Star player.
The Tiered roster creation has given a lot more freedom for coaches and we honestly expect to see fewer star player choices because of it anyway.
Which Tier are you hanging from?
There's a new Tiered team creation system we're using this year.
All indications are that itwent so well and much more smoothly that expected.
There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be using it for both our tournaments and so we're doing just that.
Build up those teams for the benefit of every player or stack on the skills to make your very own homemade Star player! |

COACHES! PLEASE BE AWARE!
GAMA has (once again) messed up the event listings.
The Saturday Tournament Start time as listed in the Event Grid for Origins shows 10am as our start time.
THIS IS WRONG.
Please refer to the Tournament Rules Pack for an accurate schedule
Check-in : 8:30am
Game 1 Kick-off: 9:30am |

Do you know EXACTLY what sort of havoc you're going to wreak on your opponents?
Have you had your roster prepped and ready since January?
Why not save yourself some time and get it to us before the convention?
Feel free to send us your team rosters (complete with your name and NAF ID & # if applicable) and we'll get you in the lists so that all you have to do is show up and curse NUFL for the dice results. |

COACHED PLEASE BE AWARE
Due to the incorrect times listed for the Tournament event there may be Timing/scheduling conflicts in the Registration system if you are participating in other events at the convention.
WE WILL ACCEPT GENERIC TOKENS as entry fee into the Saturday event to work around this issue.
Just sign up for your events for the day/weekend normally and show up for check-in Saturday morning with Generics in hand.
Thank you. |

I'm getting pumped for this event!
Still trying to decide on team. Orcs or Chaos hmm.
Curious if there is a typo in the game scoring section. Looks like game results are - (negative) points and bonus points are + (positive points)
I suspect most of us are reading around that but I wondered for a second if it was some weird and unique incentives system.
Also noticed Fowling vs fouling - minor issue but I carry the rules forward from year to year on my events too.
â— Game Scoring will be
â—‹ -30 points for a WIN
â—‹ -20 points for a DRAW
â—‹ -10 points for a LOSS
â— Additional points will be considered for the following:
â—‹ +5 points if you won by 3 or more Touchdowns
â—‹ +2 points if you won by 2 Touchdowns
â—‹ +2 points if you lost by 1 Touchdown
â—‹ +5 points if you caused 2 more Casualties from Blocking or Fowling than your opponent
â—‹ +2 points if you caused 1 more Casualties from Blocking or Fowling than your opponent
â—‹ (Note: Only Casualties from Blocking or Fouling without use of the following will be counted for this purpose: Stab, Stakes or any Weapon in the Extraordinary skill box) |

Yup, ya caught me and my lack of proofreading. Mockery will be acceptable and endured for the sake future iterations.
The aforementioned '-' symbols were used by me habitually during this years' re-write as Bullet Points and not intended as minus signs.
My apologies.
Other spelling errors are pure laziness and I stand proudly behind them.
(but thank you for letting me know for correction) |

No worries man. Blood Bowl is all about the minor mistakes that we both hope no one notices and pretend were part of the master plan!
How many players usually?
I'm trying to pull some of my on line league colleagues to come out. |

Rock on! I love how inclusive the community is.
This being our second year there is no 'usual' as yet.
There were Eight coaches last year. I believe there will be more this year based on the commenst/questions/feedback I've received. I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic about numbers. This should be a good year for growth.
My other tournaments pulled 15-17 coaches in the second year but only NUFL knows. |
