Nice one, that means we’re now sold out!

Pending a massive rush of interest, I’m keeping the limit of twenty places.

As it’s my first (albeit reboot) Foul Bowl, I’d rather run it well than run it big this year - particularly as it’s four games in one day, which will inevitably bring its own ‘challenges’!

Will continue to take paid reserves (up to a maximum of three places) to reduce the impact of cancellations. A reminder that there will be no refunds for cancellations within two weeks of the tournament date.

Any questions or queries about rosters, please ask publicly (to help others) or privately (to help yourselves, you monsters). ;)

If you send it now - how will you spend those hours I’d normally spend wrangling the last ounce of usefulness out of an ogre roster?

It would allow me to reach the same level of Zen that I achieve by only ever taking 3 block dice and 2 D6 to any tournament.

Heresy, how do you curse nuffle and punish bad dice by leaving them to the side if you only take the minimum :D

I simply remove all those negative waves from play. Whether my dice are to blame or not, I have no choice but to persevere with them. I just turn up knowing there are just as many sixes on my dice as ones - its very calming.

I’d like all rosters in by September 1st to give Sann and myself the chance to check them before the day, just to allow us a prompt start once everyone has landed. Please send them to haribo_21@hotmail.com and sann0638@hotmail.com, including your NAF name.

These won’t be shared anywhere before the tournament (though we can share them afterwards, if people are interested).

I can’t incentivise people to get them in on time, all I can do is guilt-trip that failure to get them in may mean a delay to the start of the day, and have a knock-on effect for subsequent games.

I doubt the Spike! magazine will be released in time anyway but, due to the inevitable typos and editing oversights, Foul Bowl 3 will be using the existing Lizardmen rules, positionals and star players.

Sometimes, relative sensibility hits me and I go into 'What would other people do?' mode (badly).

Back to normal for Coffee Cup :lol:

Roster received. Not sure he’s got sixteen snotlings, but I’m sure he’ll have a look for you.

A quick rules question to make sure I understood the scoring. Is there a maximum of 1 bonus point per match for causing a casualty through fouling? Or is it one point per casualty scored by fouling with no limit?

Thanks

In addition, there will be 1 additional point available, per game, from fouls which result in a Casualty.

Maximum one point per game for casualty-causing fouls.

Total fouls per game (whether they cause casualties, or not) are being recorded, but that is to help with awarding the Most Fouls award; nothing to do with bonus points.
