School of Hard Blox Tournament I (Bloxworth, Near Wareham, Dorset) - 12/03/2022

Post by Duffins »

Hello fellow Blood Bowlers! I am very excited to announce my first Blood Bowl tournament; the first annual School of Hard Blox Tournament!

Cost: £15 (£20 for non-NAF attendees, which includes £5 NAF membership). Includes lunch buffet!

Please send the money to paypal.me/Duffins24329 (friends and family!) along with your Name, NAF Name and/or NAF Number. A contact number would be helpful too.

Venue:
Bloxworth Village Club, Bloxworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 7EG

There is plenty of free parking at the venue. The social club has a bar and loads of space for games in the evening should anyone wish to stay on after the event.

Tournament Format:
This NAF Approved tournament adheres to the following:
  • BB2020 rules, resurrection style. The tournament will also follow the NAF Rules for Tournaments document
  • Randomly drawn first round; Swiss format afterwards
  • Any new team, Spike or Errata released before February 1st 2022 will be valid.
  • All BB2020 teams and Teams of Legend will be eligible. This includes Slann and Khorne. Bretonnians are not eligible.
  • Players killed and raised during a match (such as via the Masters of Undeath rule or Plague Ridden skill) are lost at the end of the match. Star Players can be killed and raised like any other player.
Schedule:
09:00 Venue Opens/Registration
09:55 Announcements
10:00 – 12:15 Game 1
12:15 – 13:00 Lunch

15:30 – 17:45 Game 3
18:00 Awards

Scoring:
2 points for a win
1 point for a draw
0 points for a loss
-5 for a concede. Any coach who concedes is also disqualified from winning any awards

Tie breaker, in order: Strength of Schedule, Touchdown Difference, Casualty Difference, Goblins?*, Best of 5 Dice Off.
*By “Goblins?” I mean if the coaches are still tied at this point and one of the tied coaches played Goblins, the Goblin coach wins the tie break. Skip this if both or neither of the tied coaches played Goblins.

Roster Creation:
1,150,000 GP to buy players, rerolls, sideline staff and inducements

160,000 GP to buy skills
– see Page 72 of The Official Rules book
  • Random skills are not allowed. All other skill purchases are allowed i.e., Chosen Primary, Chosen Secondary & Chosen Stat Upgrade
  • A player can be given a maximum of six given skills – players can only reach Legend!
  • A player given a stat upgrade cannot have any other skills nor stat upgrades given to them
  • A given skill can only be selected twice in the team – no guard or block spam!
  • A given stat upgrade can only be selected once, but you can have more than one different stat upgrade in the team
  • Star players cannot be given skills or stat upgrades
  • One Dedicated Fan can be bought for 5k. Additional Dedicated Fans cost 10k.
  • No Tiers! All teams have the same budgets
Inducements:
Only the following inducements are permitted:

Official Rules: Biased Referee*, Bloodweiser Kegs, Bribes, Halfling Master Chef, Mortuary Assistant, Plague Doctor, Riotous Rookies, Star Player**, Wandering Apothecaries, Weather Mage.

Death Zone: All ‘Other Inducements’ (Pages 36-39) except Medicinal Unguent and Side Bet

*The Biased Referee must be the one stated on Page 95 of The Official Rules book. No fancy referees from the Death Zone book!
** Only Halflings, Goblins, Ogres, Snotlings, Black Orc-less Black Orcs, Saurus-less Lizardmen and Skaven-less Underworld Denizens teams may take a maximum of one star player. Teams must buy 11 rostered players before taking a star player.

You must check your 1st round opponent’s roster for any errors. Any rosters found to be illegal after this will be disqualified from winning any awards. Rosters must be clear to read (digital is preferable) and available for your opponent to view at any time.

Awards:
Major:
1st, 2nd and 3rd place
Most Casualties*
Most Touchdowns

Minor:
Stunty Cup**
Best Painted
Wooden Spoon
Goblin Champion!
Spot Prizes!

* Any casualty counts towards Most Casualties, even if the player recovers from the injury for any reason e.g., regen or apothecary. So get fouling, crowd pushing and chainsawing!

** The following teams are eligible for the stunty cup: Halflings, Goblins, Ogres, Snotlings, Black Orc-less Black Orcs, Saurus-less Lizardmen, Skaven-less Underworld Denizens. Of these teams, the roster must not include any ST3 or ST4 players (including star players) to qualify for the stunty cup.

Coaches cannot win more than one Major Award. Coaches can win more than one Minor Award. The Goblin Champion award goes to the highest placed Goblin team! Why? Because I love goblins, that’s why.

Transport Links:
There are no direct public transport links but if arranged in advance I am more than happy to run people to and from Wareham train station.

Further Notices:
Please bring:
  • A painted team (minimum 3 colours)
  • Board(s) and dugouts
  • Dice, tokens and templates
  • Roster (preferably digital, but if printed please limit to one copy)
The venue is booked for the entire day and evening and the bar area will still be open to the public throughout. Everyone is welcome to stay for games, pints and catch ups after the event concludes, however, an evening meal will not be planned and there are no shops or takeaway outlets in Bloxworth, so please be aware. The closest small village shop is in Bere Regis (open 9am – 5pm Saturdays). Takeaway outlets and shops can be found in nearby Wareham, Upton and (if you want to travel a little further; approx. 15-20 min drive) Dorchester or Poole.

Please let me know as soon as possible (ideally before March) of any dietary requirements you have and I’ll ensure you are catered for.

Update: Stuart Eardley from SJE Miniatures will have a stall at the event, selling various Blood Bowl teams and models. Here's a link to his stuff: https://m.facebook.com/SJE_Miniatures-1 ... l&mt_nav=0

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
Bribe level: good coffee.

That'd be great if you could round the Entoyment troops! The venue is only 15 minutes away from Entoyment.

The goblin in a top hat (yeah, people, that's a thing here), does he have a monocle or do we need to bring our own?
