I've not been made aware that that's an issue.

Right, I'm out - woe betide I might upset GW, who are by far and away such a wonderful supporter of our game. Bren, as agreed I'll help in the run up. I'll save my money for a tournament that doesn't tug the forelock to an abusive master. _________________ Fundamentalist for the BB IlluminatiGalak 3:16 says "There is a point in time that a player really should read the rulebook."

Planning my (Tourney) Calendar for this year, there are always some Tournaments that i want to attend, the biggest 2 for me are Thrudd and the NAF championship (or GT if you will) then Ill try and get at least another 4 in.
However, I am wondering why the NAF ? Yes, i know its the "biggest" in terms of coaches and I actually like Warhammer world, the foods Ok and the beers not a bad price, however, and here's the rub...
The ruleset!!
C'mon, its poor at best, I can understand when GW ran it that they (Lenton staffers) may not be so up to speed with current rules (Lrb6 OR CRP if you prefer) and thats not a dig, just a statement of fact. But with experienced coaches and NAF Officials there actually running the show could we not do a bit better than 1 skill per game, most if not all coaches have gotten tournament experience before they go near the GT, or are attending with an experienced group.
Its £40 for what may be the weakest rules at any tournament, I know Im not going to win (anything ever) and Ill probably be taking Goblins again, if I go at all, which at the moment Im not sure about (there are other factors to my decision as Im sure some will be aware of) but a revamped ruleset could only be an improvement.
I do appreciate all the time and effort people put into this and every tournament and sorry if I offend or appear ungrateful, its just £40 is a lot for a 1 game 1 skill progression tournament when it could be so much more...
Just my thoughts...

£40 a lot for a six game tourney including 3 meals?  I guess we have different criteria.  Personally I like it simple, I certainly don't see any added value for money for a more complicated progression system, in fact I'd probably enjoy the games less. It's hard enough keeping track on Sunday as it is! _________________ Wodell

It can't be made too complicated for any new coaches, in my opinion. I don't see how the cost of the tourney is related to ruleset either.

Good point, I think the GT has always been seen as a very newbie friendly tournament and a great way to introduce someone to the BB tourney scene. There will be a lot of people there, it’s at warhammer world so there is the shop, museum, Bugman’s and other stuff going on so would be a lot less daunting if it is your 1st tourney. I think the minimum of special rules is desirable and it’s nice that the tournament stays pretty much consistent. _________________ Facebook Group showing all the teams I’ve done.

Are all coaches taking part going to be NAF registered or are non-NAF coaches able to play? I'm just asking as the last time I went to the Blood Bowl, my sole win was against a non-NAF coach. When you get a win with Halflings, you want it to be recorded

And personally id like a better ruleset, Id enjoy the challenge more, as for Sunday I dont think my average drops on day 2 (Im usually rock bottom anyway) mattwhile wrote: It can't be made too complicated for any new coaches, in my opinion. I don't see how the cost of the tourney is related to ruleset either. So, even if a tournament has a poor set of rules your happy as long as theres a buffet ? Hey, £30 for meals and throw in a couple of games over at mine one weekend (stew for you again ) I was just pointing out the cost of the ENTIRE experience and suggesting that 1 part could be improved!! C'mon Matt, say you see my point, even if you dont agree with it!
