Wibble Bowl 2023
NAF ranked

General Information
Wibble Bowl 2023 will be held on Sunday 28 May 2023 at Holmfirth Gaming Centre, 1 Miry Ln, New Mill, Thongsbridge, Holmfirth HD9 7HP. The venue has free parking, food is provided as part of the ticket price and additional drinks and snacks are available to purchase on site.

Rules
Once again, we will be using the ruleset from an upcoming major tournament but as a single coach rather than squad-based format. For Wibble Bowl this year we will be using World Cup rules.

Star Players
The only star players allowed are the ones stated in their FAQ
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10zZfm_ ... WPR24/view

Regarding FAQs and errata we will likewise follow the World Cup lead.

Tourplay
We will be using Tourplay for this tournament, the event is here

you will need a phone, tablet or other internet connectable device in order to view draws track results and so forth
[HGC has no guest wifi but based on testing phone data signal is strong]

Entry costs and payment
• Entry cost is £17 for NAF members or £22 for non-NAF, this includes sign up/renewal
• Entry cost includes food at the venue, please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements/restrictions.
• Please send payments for tournament sign up by PayPal to paypal.me/wybbltournaments or WYBBL-Tournaments@outlook.com. Could you select the ‘gift’ or ‘paying a friend’ option so we don’t lose out on fees please?
• Due to previous issues, we will not be offering refunds. However will try to help you sell your ticket on to another coach should the need arise.
• Any other queries can be directed to the ref team WYBBL-Tournaments@outlook.com.
• Please create your rosters on Tourplay in advance, deadline 21 May, Tourplay link
https://tourplay.net/en/blood-bowl/wibble-bowl-2023

Etiquette
• Blood bowl is a battle of skill and luck between you and your opponent. RULES quick reference guides are useful and encouraged. Play books that tell you HOW to set up, attempt a one turn touch down etc. are not!
• We may not be able to include anyone that arrives after the registration period has closed in the initial round one draw. Previously the head ref has provided emergency spare man cover but we feel we need at least one dedicated ref so we won’t do this here.
• Please don’t distract the top table(s) whilst they are playing the game, especially if you have a vested interest in a particular outcome!

Awards
Subject to sufficient sign ups we aim to give awards in the following categories. We also aim to have a small tournament souvenir (again subject to sufficient sign ups)
• Overall Winner
• Most CAS
• Most TDs
• Stunty Cup (highest placing stunty team)
• Best painted
• Wooden Spoon (last place)

Things To Bring With You
• A painted team.
• A blood bowl pitch.
• Dice.
• Templates.
• Three roster sheets (one for the head ref, one for yourself and one for your opponent).

Covid-19 Safety measures
Hopefully we will be able to run this event with no notable restrictions but please be understanding if we need to apply any appropriate measures. Please do not attend if you or a member of your household has recently tested positive.

Rules clarifications.
Note some rules/interpretations are currently under active discussion, however the ref team would like to make their interpretation and intent on the following clear.
SSRB Page 27 “Falling Over” Please read "If a player Falls Over, a turnover is caused" as "If a player *on the active team* falls over, a turnover is caused". Reasoning: Under some very specific circumstances (e.g. on the ball skill) you may be able to move during your opponent’s turn. Having a player from the inactive team fall over will not cause a turnover in this way.

Thanks Barney, I was aware that I needed to revisit the links, I always draft in word then copy to the site, my bright idea of making the links more user friendly and readable meant they got unlinked when I did that. Anyway hopefully should be fine now?

I'm mildly amused that between us we are hosting 9 WC matches in the same weekend 😁
Good practice if anyone wants it 👍

Indeed, I think we are geographically separated enough that we won't be competing for the same coaches :)

I did yes, now corrected. I just went into paypal and added any signups I thought I'd missed, I hadn't missed yours after all ;)
