Coupe des 4 Nations/4 Nations Cup Montreal, QC Sept. 26-27

[SBG]

(Sticky Please)

You know you liked it, so why not come over again?!?!

It's the third edition of the Four Nations Cup! To be held at Le Chevalier gaming store, located at 516 Boul. Lacombe, Repentigny J5Z 1P6 (30 minutes East of downtown Montreal), on September 26th and 27th.

Popol le Bleu, the official wizard of the Ligue des Quatre Nations, never, and he means NEVER, gets tired of messing up your games, so he decided to put on another one! Hence, Four Nations Cup III, where he plan to again wreck havoc on the pitch!

Here are the rules for this NAF sanctionned tourney:

- Five games of Blood Bowl, Swiss style, on two days and fun to remember all your life!
- CRP rules;
- All CRP teams, plus three additional approved teams for NAF play;
- Painted teams only (though no points for painting them... but who wants to play grey elves anyway?)

TEAM CREATION:

- 115 Starting TV, minimum of 11 players, Star players, Apo and skills (bought at regular price) allowed;
- No limitations on number of REGULAR skills per player (no doubles!!) at start of tourney (that means if you want a Mighty Blow, Piling On, Guard, Grab, Tackle human blitzer on your team, you can. But he needs to fit within 115 TV);
- This a resurrection tourney, but players value increase with skills;
- Inducements possible because of value increase (one game only played with inducements in the first two editions);
- Positively no overtime.

FOUR NATIONS CUP SPECIAL RULES:

- Popol le Bleu, estranged wizard of the Four Nations League, is mad and wants to disturb the league's tourney, so he'll be available to each team for a single use throughout the tourney (meaning: everybody gets one use of a wizard whenever he wants during the tourney);
- After each game, each coach selects a player on his team, then rolls on the skill increase table;

TARDY RULE:

- If you arrive before the scheduled start time you will receive a small reward for each day
- Saturday will give you a skill change, usable after either one of the Saturday games (you thought Tackle would be usefull on that lineman but would rather go with Block instead? Go ahead!);
- Sunday will give you 2 free fan factors.

AWARDS:
- 1ST , 2ND , 3RD
- Most TD’s
- Best Defense

Fred

[Norse]

Very good chance I will be attending!

[SBG]

There! your name is written down!

You'd officially be our first American participant, making the tourney officially International!

Bringing a friend with you?

Fred

[Norse]

My wife and kids

[SBG]

We're international! The registration of Norse, living in the US but from Scotland, makes this tourney officially international!

As we say in the Ligue des Quatre Nations: Quelle Saison!

UPDATE !!!

Less than one month before tourney, here are a few updates:

- We are now 8 players registered, but I,m sure some will register closer to the event. We were 14 last year!
- I already got some pre-orders for the miniatures from people not attending the tourney! I might run out of them, so let me know if you want to reserve some more;
- Good news for out of towners: Au Doc Motel (where Rando stayed last year if I'm not mistaken) is now the official lodging partner of the 4NC!! Simply say that you are attending the 4NC when reserving and you'll get a 10% discount! Their website here: www.audocmotel.com
- Like for the first two editions, we'll get our food from a caterer. Let me know in advance if you want some of the sandwiches plain (no mustard/mayo). I know it's been a problem for a few participants last year.

Come on people! Fill up those places!

Fred

[Norse]

yo Fred, my hotel is booked and paid for, so I'm 100% there baby!

any preference between me bringing CDs or Skaven?? I like to bring racial diversity where possible.. could also do Norse, Chaos, Elves, Orcs if you prefer.

[SBG]

I think you'll see a few CD and skaven. We've never seen Chaos and only one of each of Norse, Elves and Orcs at the tourney, just saying...

[SBG]

12 registered players; only 2 away from our total of last year!

Still place guys, come on over!
