Chimera Cup - Cheltenham - Dreamscreator wins!

[Twelfman]

What happens if the only team a player has left to pick is one they've already played?

[Wobert]

It can't happen in the first 2 rounds and is very unlikely to happen in round 3.

By round 4 the top 4 may face a restricted choice to ensure they all get a new team

[Itchen Masack]

I'm hugely sorry, but I'm unable to make this. Humble apologies for last minute drop. Good luck with the tourney.

[Jip]

Just read the rulespack on the train (Ceetee, where you gettin on? Think we’ll be on the same train - I’m coming from Swindon). This is gonna be crazy!

[frogboy]

Have fun everyone, gutted i missed this one

[ceetee]

If you caught an earlier train, how am I gonna see him before you do?!

Just dropped him a text.

[Wobert]

I'll post full results and thoughts on how it went tomorrow. At the moment I feel hanging!

Please feel free to post any comments for improvements next time. I think the skills need to be looked at, more on than tomorrow maybe.

[speedingbullet]

Good to hear you're already thinking about "next time"!

[Angry Hobbit]

A long hard day of great Bloodbowl with a good fun format. Well done Wobert and all who helped out.

Good venue, will be very happy to turn up again for this.

[ceetee]

Yep, great tourney and a unique format. Clearly a lot of work went into setting it up. Thanks to all, especially the helpful man at the station who offered Jip a lift home.

See you next year,

Chris

Indeed a lot of work goes into Wobert's events and he should be proud of these successes! Not least that he has 24 painted teams to share with us all! Well done Hugo for your first ever tournament win, it was great to see such a competitive ending to a tournament. there was "literally" bonus points separating the top 3 (and an odd TD and CAS wafer between top 2)! How often do you see Ogres vs Goblins on the top table on Round 4 of a tournament!? Or wood elves being last picked for round 3!

A great rule set and a great venue. My only comments were that the skills were a little odd ball and excessive entering into game three. it was nice to see people researching team progression between rounds however, so I definitely think it should be kept, but possibly with a balance of more usual skills/ nega-trait options. Stilll, where else can you find a high elf team with two MB, or a tree with claw. I did feel for that Bonehead, Really Stupid ogre though.

Great fun, great burrito and lets do it all again in 2018! thanks wobert and my opponents. Gorgoroth, Dan - I'll get you next time. Cam, Loki - you'll get me!


final results with bonus points below. Wobert is on the NAF upload however as it looks a little complex.

[cornish]

oh - although the results now stand (Ripper Bolrot himself wouldn't dare prise Most CAS from Gorgoroth's dirty paws), shout if there are any anomalies in TDs/ Cas and Ali will check the slips and update if necessary. We do go through them all twice though so hopefully all accurate (well, based on what you wrote down at least).

Hope you had safe journeys home and thanks to those that helped clear up at the end.

There are a ton of ways of cutting the results on this one. . . . . . . . .

Best 'team' - Necromantic (4 wins - 7TDs for 0 against, 13 Casualties for 0 against)
Coached by - Landrover, Dreamscreator, Harryallen and Wobert

Worst 'team' - Dark Elfs (4 losses - 1TD for 8 against, 6 casualties for 6 against)
Coached by - Jip, wwe2015, Nightman, Monkeyjuice

Best Stunty 'team' - Halflings (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss - 4 TDs for 4 against, 9 Casualties for 14 against)
Coached by - Merrick, Twelfman, Cee Tee and Nightman

Most casualties by team
1. 17 casualties - Nurgle (coached by Gorgoroth, phlsmth, wwe2015 and Richbethell)
2. 14 casualties - Ogres (coached by Twelfman, Wolimorb, Nazgob and Merrick)
3. 13 casualties - Necromantic (coached by Landrover, Dreamscreator, Harryallen and Wobert)

It says a lot about the competition that Goblins and Ogres finished above High Elfs and Dark Elfs.

The real awards though went to the following -

1st Place - Dreamscreator
2nd Place - Merrick
3rd Place - Cee Tee
Glowworm Award - Phlsmth
