@purplegoo and others,
I'm settling into Gladstone, Queensland (this is my third year here) and I'm planning a bit of a roadmap. It's been a few years since I've run tournaments.
We currently have 16 regular coaches in our Gladstone/Rockhampton combined league (and about another 8 hangers on, with about 6 looking to join next season). I had to coax the Blood Bowl league back to life. I arrived to watch the league out of the amazing gaming club here back to life, and my first attempt to do so failed.
We are planning for 5 Blood Bowl related 'events':
1. Season II and III of the Rockhampton / Gladstone league (which in the lore, we call the Rocky-Stone Ravine league - two mining settlements who play Blood Bowl off shift).
2. A very low key Sevens tournament, primarily for locals, called the Stone-town Sandlot in January 2022. (Sandlot eg is an anagram of Gladstone).
3. A well advertised and sponsored one-day Sevens tournament on the Anzac Day Long weekend - called the Gladstone Gauntlet.
4. A two day weekend tournament, tentatively called the Great Barrier Biff, with a nautical theme.
5. in 2023 - running an inter-league competition over the year, called the Queensland Cup - we might even ask if we can call it the Queensland Cane-Toad cup - if I can get permission from the previous organisers of the Cane Toad Cup (as I have done with the Gauntlet name).
This post is really about the inter-league competition and whether there would be any chance of getting the NAF to endorse it.
Basically, the idea would be for each league in Queensland that wants to be a part of it would track their league and teams on an agreed league platform. At the end of their 2023 season, we would arrange a special 'playoffs' between leagues. Not sure of rules yet, but would require strict 'redrafting' rules for the playoffs to level the playing field.
I'm interested in early thoughts - but I believe this is groundbreaking. |
