WORLD CUP 2019 in Dornbirn, 3.-6. Oct. 2019

[Tojurub]

Dear Captains and Coaches of the World Cup,

the rosters have now all been uploaded. Despite our efforts to check every single one for mistakes, we can't guarantee that there aren't any in there. You have now until August 30, 2019 to review your rosters (and the rosters of all the others if you have some spare time on your hands) and report any mistakes. Again, this is not an opportuntity to change your roster, only obvious errors will be correct. This also includes mistakes of your captain, when he gathered the information from you. IF you can prove that he gave you the wrong skill sets, forward me the email with the evidence.

On the World Cup website, go to Info -> Registered Coaches and look for your squad. (there is no search funtion YET)

One important topic is replacing dropped out coaches. Once you know that a coach can't make it to the World Cup, please inform us as soon as you know it and let us know if you have a replacement coach or if you need us to give you a subsitute coach. In all cases, let us know your squad ID in the email. If you have a replacement, we need the full information: full name, NAF-name and -number, nationality, shirt size, food choice, medical issues (incl. any food allergies or handicaps or other important things).

Please be also reminded about the deadline for the shuttle busses. If you have not signed up, please do so on the website. Everybody will be contacted about their bus/train schedule in the first week of September.


Cheers
Torsten

Good evening, here plt44

Welcome to this special Bloodbowl World Cup Team Show from 4 to 6 October 2019 in Dornbirn.
As announced the title of the show "the ogres and the runts the statistics", we will see how the coaches have prepared their world cup "ogre".
There are 20 brave coaches who have decided to take up the challenge of being at the head of ogres and runts ("Fly, you fools" oops I spoke loudly)
I want to have a thought for the 102-103 coaches who agreed to have an ogre team in their squad, Dedication ....
Well, let's get to the heart of the story, the fabulous statistics from the ogres world cup:
Where do these 20 sweet crazies come from:
5 French, 4 Italian, 3 British, 3 German, 2 Danish, 1 American, 1 Spanish and 1 Australian-Zelandese
Here are the origins
For the composition
It varies from 3 ogres to 6 ogres (12 teams 6 ogres) and from 6 to 10 snots is 108 ogres and 164 runts
There are 14 teams without champions, 3 teams play with Brick Far'th and Grotty, 2 with Scrappa and 1 with Boomer and Morg himself.
5 coaches have sent elves to elf training to make them more agile and it is 2 ogres and 3 runts who have this honor
12 coaches have sent players to a leader in order to have a leader and it is 6 ogres and 6 runts
In the news, we find a new positional ogre: the blitzer.
There will be 51 block this year
6 ogres specialized in break tackle followed by juggernault
And 33 runts will be divers in the legs ....And small challenge, given the number of dirt elves who will be at the World Cup, I will offer a beer to my 19 ogre colleagues for all elf death, come see me and even if I speak very bad English, I would be happy to drink with you
To finish this show,

Hi pit44, Rolo here, I'm the captain of Team Municorns.

I suspect you're going to be sharing a lot of beer next weekend. I told our Ogre coach about your offer and he sounded thirsty.
Our round 1 opponents include a Dark Elf team. With any luck, he'll be drinking early and often.

What team are you with? Or should we just look for a crowd of drunk Ogre coaches?
