Albion Coast Cup IX Southampton 24/25 August 2013

Blocknroll · Post by **Blocknroll** » Sat Mar 30, 2013 9:03 am

The Albion Coast Cup is back and celebrating a decade of mayhem in Southampton!

The Albion Coast Cup is a tournament like no other. Rich in history the ACC has run for a full decade now* and for the third year we are proud to present the UK's only progression tournament. As a progression tournament the ACC is still NAF-ranked (hopefully! will apply to the NAF at lunchtime!) but each coach has a team to develop and build rather than a fixed roster of everliving players. As has been the case for a very long time now the Albion Coast Cup will be held on the August Bank Holiday weekend, so 24th and 25th August.

* Though this is only ACC IX for legal issues that we can not go into here.

Remember that this is a little different to other tournaments so here's the detail:

The tournament will be run according to the CRP with the following exceptions, ammendments and clarifications:
Starting Treasury: 1,050,000
Slann, Underworld, Chaos Pact rosters included.
No Inducements may be purchased as part of your starting roster.
All Inducements allowed (including Special Play Cards) and to be chosen at the start of each game. Petty Cash may be used for Inducements.
SPPs are earned according to the rulebook with the exception of the MVP which is chosen rather than awarded to a random player.
All skill rolls must be made immeadiately after the game in the presence of your opponent (+stats and doubles are allowed).
All purchases, journeymen, and skills must be selected after each game and before the start of the next round.
Any Ogre teams will be allowed to allocate ONE extra MVP to a player of their choice prior to the first game.
Remeber especially the Petty Cash rules, which could be relevant at any point.

Points will be awarded as follows:
Win: 3 Points
Draw: 1 Point
Loss: 0 Points

Each round will be drawn according to the Swiss format with no reference to TDs, CAS or TV
If two or more coaches are tied for first place at the end of the final game then opponent score will be used to find final placings.

It is expected that you will be able to provide appropriate miniatures for any stars that you may induce (or at least proxies that distinguish them from regular team members)
It would be sensible to ensure you bring a good number of skill rings.
Starting Rosters will be required in advance of The ACC so that provision can be made for effecient printing of updated rosters in between rounds.
These should be emailed to robincaddy@hotmail.com as either excel files or just typed out clearly.

Venue, costs, and stuff...
The Mitre will be the venue as per last year, with it's large free car park. Meet in the car park by 10am for a 1030am
start
£20 to include lunch both days, and NAF fees for new members. Via Paypal to robincaddy@hotmail.com please pay the fees if any applicable.

Prize support will hopefully come once again from the fabulous Willy Miniatures and FF Fields
We look forward to seeing you there - Blocknroll, Itchen Massack and Lemf

If I can attach myself to the underbelly of anyone travelling from Bristol I will make it, still kicking myself for missing the last one. Anybody got (spins wheel of morality) Pro Elves I could borrow?

If I'm not working I'll be there, but I'm not sure - I won't be able to swap shifts that month.

Defo there but no shock really, got to keep my ever present record going...

And you are too modest, Mr Defending Champion!

Hudson · Post by **Hudson** » Sun Mar 31, 2013 1:31 pm

I could be Ip for this one.

Darkson · Post by **Darkson** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 3:00 am

As long as my rota doesn't change between now and then, looks like I can make it, though I'm going to be coming almost straight from work.

I am fairly certain I will be there. Missed last three years due to family holidays etc but my cunning plan is to make this the location of a family holiday. Then sneak off for two days at end of holiday

You can bet I'll be there, work permitting

I have some pro elves and you can definitely borrow them.... but they look awful and are in various stages of being unpainted.

Hopefully someone else can offer you a better option but my guys are here if you need it.

Are they any better than your MonkeyBowl Underworld?

In fact, is it possible to be worse than that team?!?

90% of my underworld team had the correct number of limbs and heads!

Don't make me rummage through my old lego/subuteo sets. I will go there and my art style is more erratic than Ant's.
