I'm not sure, it doesn't say. I would expect around $40.

Now all we need is "Most Sportsmanlike" and "Most Pummeled", for
which I'm willing to donate a few old 2nd edition figs.
Mind you playing Da Maggot Scum again is likely to get me "Most Gakked"...again... In the Underworld Cup in the Four games
alone I took 26 casualties! (something Twist is VERY bitter about...)
All I want is to finish over .500, anything else is pure squig!
p.s. Stunties Suk...

I will make room if we hit the limit. No worries. If someone gives you and grief at registration have them come and get me, I will be there early on Saturday.

So I found out that we have our own room for Orion this year, should be cool. The organizer said we can have as many as we can cram into it
We are gonna start at 9am sharp on Saturday, if you can get there early it would help us out a lot. I think we will do 3 games on Saturday but it means we have to move along at a good clip so we can be done at 5.

No poutine Hopefully we'll meet each other across the pitch this time. If not I look forward to giving you another lesson in driving in Formula De .Twist wrote:Cyberhare, you winning the Orion Cup is about as likely as a Quebecer who doesn't eat poutine.

Well surprisingly again the Goblins ended up not finishing in the bottom of the pack.
Key to their success, fouling like a mad dog. I ended up throwing
THIRTY-NINE fouls in the course of five games, and only got called
on the first one and #38, and I won the arguement the 1st time! Also
I got doubles the first two skill draws, so two DP's did wonders. In the
end though, I was robbed in the first two games by miracle luck by the
opponents, though it was Guts 'n' Glory so I give them credit for even
going for it.
Game One: Dark Elves
I ended up having the ball in the overtime drive, and having reduced him
down to only FIVE players vs. the enitre Maggot Scum with four reserves
left! He then pulled the miracle of a one die block, popping the ball free
towards the only bounce he MIGHT get at. Then came the chain of
Fourteen die rolls needing 4+ to get to the ball, pick it up, get out and
finally throw it deep. He made them all without a re-roll, which he
didn't have. Sigh, Guts 'n' Glory.
Game Two: Orcs
Here we go again. He started with thirteen players, and ended with only
six, three goblins! The irony was him dodging through my team with a
goblin with the ball, seeing as he was running out of Orcs, to score the
winning TD. Unbelievable, but very poetic. Again I still had reserves.
Game Three: Undead
Finally justice! The goblins end up with pouring rain all game, meaning the
game becomes a comedy of just TRYING to pick up the ball. I end up
eliminating all his skeletons and forcing a lot of regenerate rolls. End
result is a low scoring match with the Goblins blundering to the only score.
And once again, the Goblins have reserves at the end of the game.
Game Four: Chaos
Now this was just plain funny. This game goes in the record books as the
most one sided disaster, and I wish to say that HE started it! He fouls my
Ogre out of the game turn one, well that seemed to piss off the whole
squad! By the end of the first drive his cage of four players has managed
to score...and they are the ONLY players from his team left on the pitch!
His next drive he's got all his remaining five players left, which means I
get the first pitch invasion, trashing two more, and proceed to clear the
field. Yep a Goblin team cleared the pitch. Twice. (The fools came back
later.) The score would have been higher if my players would just stop
tripping on the goal line. Again I have reserves left.
Game Five: Orcs
Aw bloody hell. First half is a stallmate with me reducing him to nine
players...then it goes down the drain in the 2nd half. He gets two blitzs
on me to score the only TD's, and the ref finally calls me on a foul. (Yep,
firm but fair is my halfling ref.) Oh well it was a good run.
Final summery. The Goblins end up inflicting 32 casualties for only 17 at
the end, of which 10 of them were in the last game. (When it went
downhill, it REALLY went downhill.)
It was fun though, now to see how these buggers do down in the States.
