Golden Gauntlet Youngbloods UK 2017/18

Post by Valen »

Golden Gauntlet is returning for its third instalment in 2017/18. For the first time there will be a GOLDEN GAUNTLET YOUNGBLOODS 2017/18.

To be eligible for this award you need to be under 18 years of age at the time of the NAFC 2018 (the Sunday for clarity).

Any youngbloods scoring points within GGUK tournaments will not only count towards the GGUK, but also the GGYUK. To clarify, the score each youngblood scores is dependent on their overall finish, not their placings amongst the youngbloods (for instance if two youngbloods are in attendance at a torni, they do not automatically get 1st and 2nd).


Image

The increase in scores for placings is no longer exponential. Also you can no longer score for both Most Touchdowns / Most Casualties and your placing at the same event.


Rules:

The rules can be found here, but for clarity they are;

All UK NAF coaches are eligible to score GGUK points at every UK NAF tournament which qualifies to award a NAF trophy as per NAF guidelines.

From the 2017 updated sanctioning guidelines:

NAF Trophies may be awarded to the winner of any sanctioned tournament so long as it meets minimum attendance requirement... [if it has] 4 rounds or more, 12 coaches are required; if it has 3 rounds or fewer, 24 coaches are required.

Golden Gauntlet points are scored as per the table below. The intention is to award pure gaming results but also other aspects of the wider hobby which are traditionally recognised at tournaments with prizes. There is no limit to the number of tournaments coaches can score in.

Image

In the event of tied total scores, the coach with the highest tournament placing(s) will be placed highest.

A few footnotes on the additional trophies:

-Hopefully all tournaments will recognise Best Painted, Stunty Cup, Most Touchdowns and Most Casualties in some way. No prize, trophy or certificate is necessary. Even if it’s no more than lip service here on TFF.

-Coaches who score for their final placing and for Most Touchdowns or Most Casualties at a single tournament will only register a single score, whichever is higher e.g. a player who finished 18th at a 100+ event (8 points) and also won Most Touchdowns (10 points) will score 10 points only.

-Best Painted Duel will be awarded at the NAF Championship only



The highest points scorer at the end of the year will be awarded the Golden Gauntlet trophy at NAFC 2018 on the May Day bank holiday weekend.


Good luck to everyone!

Valen - sorry to resurrect a thread but only just seen it - great stuff with the work on the Youngbloods, they'd love it. Unfortunately they have a habit of growing up, so Dribbli, FFFs, and Pandaborg are all now 18+. However there are a bunch of new Catzbowlers about to go to their first tournament in the next couple of months, so watch this space :D
