frogboy wrote:Your argument about them not being available to you is just daft tbh. Go to any other system and you will find that its the same, people who attend 40k tournaments don't buy all the books, if little Johnny turns up with his Orcs and Blood Bowl rule book out the box set and nothing else then that is fine. Its the same for you if you don't want to purchase the app and support Games Workshop then don't.
I get where JiP is coming from on that one - hell, I've had games with experienced BB players where we've both made mistakes about the statlines of little used Stars, now add in teams that aren't even freely available? I wouldn't want to have to spend a game repeatedly checking an opponent's phone to see the stat line of their players. And of course, they can print/write a roster out, but then I have no way of checking if it's correct or not.

And BB isn't the same as 40k - BB has (since the late 90s) had all the teams available for all, whether you play them or not.

[And in the fairness of full disclosure, it's unlikely I can make Foul Bowl, as I'm due to be on holiday over that weekend, so it doesn't make a huge amount of difference to me, just my POV as a tournament goer (and TO).]

Thats weird, did i press someones button lol

Seriously though cant remember doing anything on the NAF site other than create a thread on the forum.

Pre-emptive strike by the other side perhaps?

Well i can't apply for sanctioning without writting the rules, and even if i did why is it Sanctioned with no rules?

When was it applied for and when was the last time i visited the NAF site? Maybe someones hacked my account?

That seems very unlikely. No records are kept of when tournaments apply for sanctioning.

Don't delete it...just make sure it is sanctionable. ;-)

I am coming a loooooooong way and am trying to make up for my Orques going 0-5 in France this year. :roll:

The whole reason I found this tourney was because I was looking for a sanctioned tournament in Wales. I know there is that other one but I am not coming to Wales in the dead of winter. That seems like a horrible holiday plan.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
Well it has been an eventful week of Blood Bowl. I've been out the loop since Foul Bowl 2 but it came to my attention that there where 4 new teams available on the "My Dugout" BB App recently and am considering using them at Foul Bowl 3 next year.

I posted a thread in TFF and on my Twitter page to find out more about the teams and genuinely thought these teams could be an interesting inclusion to my tournament. You can see for yourselves the responses these gained.

Unfortunately the NAF do not seem to be to inclined to want this to happen. I have made a lot of friends at NAF tournaments and its difficult not to upset certain people around this touchy subject.

My initial reasoning for including these teams was just out of interest and for no other reason and as I have been trying to support the community in South Wales for a while and thought as local people are interest in variety this would be a good thing.
So it is unfortunate that I have to at this time go on without the NAF and their Sanctioning. I will still be running Foul Bowl as a Blood Bowl tournament and hope that anyone who fancies coming along for a great day of Blood Bowl without the pressures of Rankings will do so and feel free to use any of the 30 teams now available. There will be a prize for highest placed my dugout "App Team".

I was at the excellent Exebowl tournament yesterday and it reminded me why I go to tournaments in the first place, its not for the NAF gift, its not for the Rankings, its to meet friends new and old, to socialize in the wacky world of all and play the best game ever, Blood Bowl, BLOOD BOWL BLOOD BOWL!

This year was great, so come a support Blood Bowl and lets see if we can make the next one even better.

Cheers,
frogboy

It was sanctioned based on the opening post of this thread, in which you suggest the rules will be similar to those for EuroBowl 2018. Given the profile of the event, I felt confident that I'd be notified if you'd gone a different direction with it.

Judging by the tournament ID #, it was probably submitted around the middle of last month. Unless someone knows your password or changed your password (in which case you'd be unable to log in), they wouldn't be able to create a tournament with your name on it.
