Blood Bowl Spring Training - Portland OR, 11/7

[Rhuntar]

Ordo Bowl Spring Training

Ordo Bowl will be hosting a Blood Bowl 7s tournament on November 7th. What is Blood Bowl 7s? I am glad you asked. Here is a link to the rules!

They have been updated and modified slightly from the original Blood Bowl 7s document.

Some changes I want to point out:
Only 7 players
Smaller pitch
2 Lines of Scrimmage!
NO Re-Rolls
Players have a chance of leaving your roster
AND MORE!
So why do you want to play in this event?
1: It is a really fun way to play BB.
2. This tournament will serve as a precursor to the 2016 BB league. All coaches will be starting fresh in 2016, but, as Blood Bowl 7s is considered a lower league of play, any players on your roster at the end of the tournament can be drafted to play on your 2016 team!!! Think of 7s as a farm league. You will have to pay for the players base cost + any skills they acquired during the tournament and it will have to be the same team.

This will be a 5 game in 1 day event. I know, 5 games sounds like an insane number of games for a 1 day event, but the game was created for GW employees to play during a lunch break. Typical games I have play-tested last 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Ticket Cost: (Not yet on sale)
$10.00 Non-Champ
$8.00 Champ
POTLUCK THINGY RULES:

Playing 5 games of Blood Bowl is a tiring affair (even if they are shorter). Having a potluck for everyone to munch on during the tournament is a great way to provide some much need refreshment. In fact, because I like eating more than Blood Bowl, there will be the "Master Chef Award". Bring your best dish to share and everyone will vote for their favorite dish at the end.

Please announce the dish you are bringing in this thread so that we do not have 10 people bring coconut macaroons... because I hate coconut macaroons.

FAQ
For the 7s tournament, all positionals will be divided in 1/2 rounded up. For Instance in a normal league Amazons have access to 4 Blitzers. For 7s Amazons can only have 2 Blitzers. Chaos Teams in a normal league have access to 1 Minotar, they will also have access to 1 Minotar in the 7s tournament.
How do I pay? - Pay anytime you see me at Game Nights or day of the event. Paying early helps me out though.
