I did nothing other that score, and to be honest you put your own results in.


Great day, great fun. Loved it.

Chaos Pact is the new power game. .

Can we have results up for all to view.

Feed back,

3 games due to time restrictions. We rushed though fair play to all who made life easy doing so. 4 is good number but would need better times from fire storm.

Skills need looking at but only fine tuning as discussed.

Loved it

Ok so NAF results are in, waiting for the big red button to be pushed

I love 4 game tournaments. Thought the idea to list round 3 matches before lunch and allow players to start early or whilst eating was great. Pre-match listings allowed games to start early where possible but yes I understand it was a push for some. Apart from opening hours Venue was superb. Lovely place and wish there were more around!

I think you should continue to make it unique and give the ruleset something different. Tone down the nega trait removal slightly (as you saw I power gamed it) to improve variety of races (only tier 2/3?). But generally something different AKA STAR/ AWM puts tournaments high on my list of priorities - where else would you see a death roller!? So keep Foul Bowl about Fouling! I think Cardiff is harder to attract 30 coaches (considering our BB community geography) but it'll develop so don't worry.

Good fun games - feeling more part of the BB gang and community each time I go to another event, great to see you all.

frog, Hawk. You are welcome for the points.

trump.... The saga continues 1-1-1!

AngryHobbit - great fun game - sorry you left with the spoon but you were forever gracious in your inability to roll 10+!

Special thanks to Frog and Hawka. Great stuff. See you next year!

Thanks for running the event guys, my games mostly seem to have plenty of time (maybe it was due to the lack of players left standing on my team!). Well, all except for the first game which I overran in, but I learned a valuable lesson about one-minute turns. Namely they're insane!

As far as the ruleset goes, I liked the potential variety it could bring. There was obviously a huge bias towards bash, and as a rotten elf player it would have been good to see more agi teams. Maybe putting tiers on the teams would create more of a spread? With the ability to remove a negatrait (almost exclusively for big-guy bashing), free bribe (bashy!), skill stacking and having lots of cash it's not hard to see why many people gravitated towards bash. I'm an elf, can't see what the appeal is for all this violence. Can't we all just get along?

20P - Revenge is yours! Congrats for knocking my off my elfy pedestal and handing me my first Pro Elf Tourney loss. I'm now free from the beardy curse and can take other teams!

Landrover - Hey, you're good with Slann, I think you should take them permanently. I hope your car feels better soon!

Cornish - I look forward to the next clash... I reckon we'll draw again. Calling it now!

And DaPiranha - May your chainsaw continue to mince elves and may the kicks not always land in the pigging corner. Thanks for the game! I nabbed it at the end but there was some severe elfing going on...

Frogboy, thank you for a great little tournament.

The four games in one day is very manageable. Don't listen to the naysayers!
Hawca, Trumpkin, Angryhobbit and Frogboy, thank you for some memorable games, often for the wrong reasons.

Trumpkin: I will NOT be taking slann permanently, thank you very much! They are even more mercurial than a thermometer's insides.

The food was great, please thank the venue from me next time you are in there. I had my hands a little full with the recalcitrant Mini, and forgot to thank them.

Yes, the Mini got home, my suspicion is now either the master or slave clutch piston seals.
Will strip them tomorrow and order the parts. Mini working day anyone?

For the tourney, please keep the four games.
I loved the option of removing a negatrait, and would definitely consider taking vamps next time. (ST4, AG4, no Blood Lust!).
Tiering the teams would create more opportunities for agility sides, but let's run a few trials on that.

[20phoenix]

panic buying on the day for some kind of award. Maybe third place or best painted? Will figure something out.

There's an award for THIRD.?

Welsh Open team for next year is sorted

Thanks for all the games. Got to play another new face, get revenge on an old one, get dry humped by one of my own and of course the irrepressible Glow.

Good work Rory

[Angry Hobbit]

Thanks for all your efforts Rory - great all round venue plus shopping on site
My only suggestion for change might be to make it more stunty friendly. Possibly with tiered skill levels 5/6/7 skills - keeping the negative trait for a double (may be give stunties two doubles ).

Thanks to all my opponents for entertaining games - new faces/old foes = same results. Wooden spoon huzzah.

Cheers all.

HI guys,

Great tourney, lots of great bits. Venue wa really nice, haven't been to a Firestorm games before, but lots of room, proper gaming tables - excellent. It wouldd've been nice to explore the store even more, but timings were quite tight.

That said, we came to play blood bowl and see friends and we got lots of that - keep the 4 games!

Despite misinterpreting the rules, the ruleset is splendid - always good to see something original. Fouling as a theme is not something I've seen before and it made for some interesting roster choices. Might be good if it had a few tweeks to encourage a wider variety of races, but if you don't, I'd still be interested next year.

Good work to all and thanks to my opponents for some edge-of-the-seat down-to-the-wire and other cliche games.

Well done and thank you.

Cheers,

Chris

I can only echo what has been said, it was a top day. The Pact were very mixed . . . . . despite 6 MB players (2 of who had claw) I managed to not inflict a casualty in 3 of the 4 games . . . . but when i did, well sorry Mr Piranha.

Dwarfs . . . . bloody Dwarfs . . . . . . played twice . . . . . lost to 'em twice. Little buggers.

My race is wrong on the NAF

So is mine, I'm down as Pact but I played CDs

[nightwing]

Great tournament, my first trip to Firestorm in their new venue. Great place.

Nice ruleset, especially the removal of a nega trait. And the fouling focus was also a nice feature. As noted by a few others, maybe skills based on tiers for next time to make it not quite as bash heavy, but I am already eagerly awaiting the next one!

Thanks to all of my opponents, Wobert, Frogboy, Ceetee and Hawca, 4 very tight games. And Wobert, one of these days we'll have a game which isn't a one sided dicing (one way or the other!)
