Albion Coast Cup XII Southampton August 27/28th

Post by Blocknroll »

NB WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE VENUE FROM 930 BOTH DAYS FOR A 10AM START

The Albion Coast Cup is back and its the Twelfth installment of mayhem in Southampton! NOW WITH ADDED NAF APPROVAL

We have a wonderful venue now, much better I think than any we've had in the past. Once again we will be at The Hilt


Anyway the address is below, the website is http://www.thehilt.org.uk/

IF you are coming by train locally there is a station at Chandlers Ford which might be 10-15 minutes walk away
IF you are coming by train less locally Southampton Airport Parkway or Eastleigh railway station might be a better bet than Southampton Central. We can try and sort you out a lift either way, let me know asap if this is you.

There is car parking by the tennis courts, or by the Sports Pavillion just along from our venue. It is first come first served but there should be two or three times more than we need.

IF you are coming by car southbound on the M3 you will want to leave the M3 at Jct 12, any queries let me know the junction is a bit weird but not too weird.

If you usually come in via the M27 you will need to head north on the M3 to JCT 12 as above

If you are coming from Southampton (as you might be Sunday morning for example) I can provide step by step instructions if you dont have sat nav etc.

There's a couple of small local shops 5 minutes walk away, we will provide tea and coffee all day both days, there is full disabled access and toilet, the room is on the ground floor, and last but by no means least. You can bring your own drinks INCLUDING alcohol! Crumbs!


The Hilt, Hiltingbury Recreation Ground
Hiltingbury Road, Chandler's Ford
Hampshire SO53 5NP

The Albion Coast Cup is a tournament like no other. Rich in history the ACC has run for over a decade now and for the sixth year we are proud to present the UK's only progression tournament. As a progression tournament the ACC is still NAF-ranked but each coach has a team to develop and build rather than a fixed roster of ever-living players. As has been the case for a very long time now the Albion Coast Cup will be held on the August Bank Holiday weekend, so 27th and 28th August.

This also constitutes the penultimate round of the South West Tournament Championship.



Remember that this is a little different to other tournaments so here's the detail:

The tournament will be run according to the CRP with the following exceptions, amendments and clarifications:
Starting Treasury: 1,050,000
Slann, Underworld, Chaos Pact rosters included.
No Inducements may be purchased as part of your starting roster.
All Inducements allowed (including Special Play Cards) and to be chosen at the start of each game. Petty Cash may be used for Inducements.
SPPs are earned according to the rulebook with the exception of the MVP which is chosen rather than awarded to a random player.
All skill rolls must be made immediately after the game in the presence of your opponent (+stats and doubles are allowed).
All purchases, journeymen, and skills must be selected after each game and before the start of the next round.
Any Ogre teams will be allowed to allocate ONE extra MVP to a player of their choice prior to the first game.
Remember especially the Petty Cash rules, which could be relevant at any point.

Points will be awarded as follows:
Win: 3 Points
Draw: 1 Point
Loss: 0 Points

Each round will be drawn according to the Swiss format with no reference to TDs, CAS or TV
If two or more coaches are tied for first place at the end of the final game (or indeed any places) then opponent score will be used to find final placings.

It is expected that you will be able to provide appropriate miniatures for any stars that you may induce (or at least proxies that distinguish them from regular team members)
It would be sensible to ensure you bring a good number of skill rings.
Starting Rosters will be required in advance of The ACC so that provision can be made for efficient printing of updated rosters in between rounds.
These should be emailed to robincaddy@hotmail.com as either excel files or just typed out clearly.

Venue, costs, and stuff...

Sadly I can't cater for you this year hence the price drop but there are plenty of nearby options or bring your own food and drink with you, and hopefully we can go for a beer and a bite to eat saturday night where we went last year(not included in ticket price)



All this for just £16, if you are new to the NAF we will cover your first year membership
Paypal please as a gift with you paying any fee to robincaddy@hotmail.com

Prize support will hopefully come once again from the fabulous Tritex Games
We look forward to seeing you there - Blocknroll and his merry helpers Radster and Itchen

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
