How do they work out who goes in the final?

Is it top 2 after round 5?

Yes, the final is after round 5 And Podfreys dwarfs was 1 tiebreaker points from it...

I did ask for a copy on the day, and have re-asked this morning. But he is a busy man.

I was gutted for Podfrey. He was on the top table for close to 3 rounds and he didn't make it due to the draw with Joe (Cracking game by the way from what I saw). Top coaches playing at the top of the game. Great to watch.

Yeah, that draw didn't work for either of them!

He was up there as early as Round 2. I was sat on table 1 and had Geoff causing some poor Skaven player all sorts of grief next to me. I think the poor bloke was down to two or three rats at one stage.

Of course, that was when it was pure random from round 1 winners who was up there and not based on the tie breakers from what I've understood.

Round 1 = Random pairings
Round 2 to Round 5 = Sorted first by points (win = 30, draw = 10, loss = 0), then randomised between those on the same points

At the end of Round 5 the whole list is sorted (on the order below) and the top two play the final:
Total Points
First Tiebreaker (net TD + net CAS) - this is where Belias had +14 and I had +13
Second Tiebreaker (net TD) - I had +7, Belias had +5
(Don't know how they would have seperated it after that.....)

So it was about as close as you could get it!!

Thought it was tiebreakers after round 3 (so for rounds four and five as well).
No matter.

Results will be up very soon on the NAF site and here.

Thank you Don_Vito for the results run-down. Best Painted was won by Steven Marlow (I believe it was the elf team, refs please correct me if I'm wrong).

I left this up to Frank and Dave, but I believe it was High Elves.

Pippy is emailing the Score save file this evening. I'll filter out the Finalists and post up the complete final standings shortly after I get the file.

In brief;
Champion; Kfoged - Dark Elf
Runner Up; Balias - Undead
League Winner; Podfrey - Dwarf
Stunty Cup; Mur - Ogres (39th overall)
Most TD's; Mordred - Wood Elf (21 TDs)
Most CAS; Nonumber - Ogre (27 CASs)

Here's the final standings;

Goblins, TBH he had a cobbled together team with no secret weapons, he's modeling up an entire superhero team and had'nt made them so rather than just use "normal" gobbo's he decided (rather bravely) to stay in-theme... i think his roster was

2 Troll
Ripper (star player troll)
Pogo'er (Doc Octopus gobbo)
3 R/R
9/10 Gobbos

Add to that he's never played a tournament game (or a league game IIRc) with Gobbo's, he has had 6 games with 'Flings (Newquaybowl one year) and you begin to see the problem.....

not a complete waste for him tho', he did get free entry to next years NAFC, and new dice!!

Pretty close on the build... Just 2 Re-rolls though, 2 trolls, ripper, 9 gobbo's plus Pogoer, hopefully I'll get more normal & the secret weapon goblins converted & painted for Thrud

Thanks for these results guys.

Color me Bone-Headed but can someone explain the difference between a Champion and League Winner?

Champion; Kfoged - Dark Elf
League Winner; Podfrey - Dwarf

After round 5, instead of playing the normal round 6, the 2 highest ranked coaches play the final. The winner is known as Champion.

The rest of the coaches play the normal round 6, and in the end, the coach with the highest score is the Winner.

Therefore, if the final is won "just" by 1-0, and the third positioned player (for example) wins by 2-0, at the end of the tournamente he can end having more points than the Champion, which is what happened, I guess. It seems it also happened with another coach, as the Champion is positioned in 3rd place in terms of points (but first in terms of glorious honor).

Sorry for the bad english, but I hope I made me clear enough.

Should also point out that Kfoged and Balias only have 5 rounds worth of points on that table. Their round 6, the Final, is not recorded there.
