Yep, but that's over all TVs and all types of tourneys.
I found the list for TV 120, but not sure if that's LRB6 or not.

I don't believe it is, hence the link to the LRB6 list (numbers of games/tournaments just don't add up otherwise).

I think the general gist is there though, particularly as it only/mainly seems to cover TV1000-1200 range in reset format; so as a barometer for team performance, it might not be the worst starting point in the world.

Had a play, and Score can cope with teams and my scoring system - yay!
Would save day 1, then change all the teams for day 2 (and upload to the NAF site separately).

Based on feedback, and my own thoughts, I'm going to contact a few people within he community to see their thoughts on the tiers, but this will wait until a) Xmas, and b) once I get the green light, so I'd expect there might be some changes to the list I've given.
Still very much in my thoughts though.

I'd be careful about using the word "Legal" in declaring "Stunty Cup Legal Lizardman/Underworld", especially as All Skink teams have been stronger than the other Stunties in the past (mainly due to MV 8), and "No Skaven" Underworld have often brought Stars in to compensate (including Skitter!).

Other than that I'm not sure Nurgle deserve to be in the same tier as say, Humans. Maybe worth dropping to Tier 3?

Personally speaking I think you'll end up with teams of players taking:
Maxed out Tier 1 cheese, plus Star Player heavy Halflings/Goblins
OR
Tricked up Tier 2, plus clever build Tier 3
with most combos likely to be the first lot.

If that happens, then you're likely making the result of the event more about when people take the Tier 4 (Sat or Sun).

Just my thoughts......

Well, taking Skritter no longer makes it Stunty Cup legal :wink: , but yeah, I see what you mean. I limited the ARBBL to 0-1 Stars, so maybe I'll do the same here.

Cheers Geoff.

Perhaps say highest tier Saturday, lowest Sunday (can choose if you're taking 2 tier 3s or 4s)?

Just waiting on getting the green light from one of the venues.
Once we get that (which I think is 95% certain), then this will go ahead.

Quote has been given for a hall, and letter has been sent to commitee asking for confirmation of use of it.

Already got 4+ teams interested (2xARBBL, 1 from Geordieland, at least 1 from Exiles).

More info once (if!) we get the ok from the commitee.
