NAF response to possible BB2 rule changes

Post by sann0638 »

http://www.thenaf.net/2015/06/naf-respo ... es-in-bb2/

From Cyanide pre-release publicity for Blood Bowl 2 it is apparent that they are making some rule changes to the game. So far we are aware of a new race (Bretonnians) and at least one positional change (Human Catchers becoming AV8).

The rules for NAF Sanctioning of a tournament remain the same. It is assumed that the Competition Rules Pack (CRP) plus the three new races will be used. Any deviation from this basic standard needs to be stated in the rules pack that is submitted to the Tournament Director before the tournament is sanctioned. If the changes to the basic standard are deemed to take the tournament too far away from CRP then the tournament will not be sanctioned.

Tournaments may be sanctioned if the rules pack includes a new race (Khorne, Brettonians, Apes) or any changes to the rosters (inc new Star Players), but this is at the Tournament Director’s discretion.

Matches against non-official races are not currently included in the database, so do not count for rankings. The rankings will be ported to the new website, which is currently in development, and at this point a decision will be made about the inclusion of any new races.

Cyanide is just a massive house ruled league. No reason for anyone to adopt what they do.

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

Good decision. Vindication for the NAF's stance on Khorne in the first place.

Good stuff. Nice to see the NAF engaging with the reality of BB2 and remaining open to the inclusion of new rosters.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not a new decision or response, it's a continuation of the same policy that existed even before Cyanide dipped its toes into BB. The response is basically a shrug of the shoulders. I guess its understandable: y'all need to get back to the important stuff, like changing the committee and fee structures. ;)

Correct in a way, but updated with new information. Without this statement, people would be asking how this affects NAF tournaments. This clarifies that. Is there a good place in the 20-page other thread to see what you would like the NAF to do? Not that they will necessarily do it, but it's all good information (if you are a NAF member under another name).
