Awaiting confirmation on that Ant. I think it should be fine.

There will be 5 rounds followed by a final. That's for certain.

Tickets will be on sale and a rules pack available asap. We are currently setting up the technical stuff in this regard.

I'll make an announcement when I can give more accurate info about timescales.

As it's not a GW event, does this mean that the GCN don't get first dib's on the ticket?

Fab news, can't wait for it now.

Tickets will be first come, first served. No preferences.

Shame you can't make it, Gary. Good luck with that!

Greetings sports fans! Little bit of an update, which hopefully will answer some questions people have had.


Costs

The price will be £40 per head. This will include:
*three meals (lunch and dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday)
*at least one gift for every entrant
*prizes and trophies for the winners (in several categories)


Payment / Availability

We will be accepting payment some time in early 2011, most likely January. Full details will follow as soon as possible. We have reserved space for 180 coaches and places will be allocated strictly on a first come, first served basis. We aim to give advanced warning of the ticket sale date on the NAF site and TFF to keep people in the picture. If we sell out, the possibility exists for the capacity to be increased but we make no guarantees.


Rules

This will be a NAF-ranked Major tournament (with associated increased rankings points at stake). Coaches will have 1,050,000 to spend on their teams and are permitted to take one regular skill before each game. All 24 teams are permitted, as are non-GW miniatures. There will be 6 rounds including a final for the top 2 coaches after round 5. The scoring system will be similar to previous Blood Bowls, with a modified tiebreaker for coaches on the same points.

A full rules pack will be made available on the net in the next few weeks.


I, for one, can’t wait! :-D

Where will tickets be available from? The NAF site? GW stores?

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

A new website for processing payments for the NAF Championship and the World Cup. Definitely not from GW.
