Is anyone going to the GW shop tourney on 15 Feb 04? 'Cos if they are can anyone tell me the rules for teams as my local GW store hasn't got a clue. A big help from GW, here lets take your money and crap around not anwsering your questions.

the tickets don't go on sale till the 7th of feb and then the rules will get sent out after that

so no one knows the rules for the tournament yet

as for the standard blood bowl rules and the race stats they are all on the rulebook which you can download for free on the official blood bowl site

15th Feb?

Is there two tournaments in Nottingham this year?

The Blood Bowl is in May with tickets on sale Feb 7th.

This 15th Feb date doesn't mean anything to me.

Yer I got tickets and will be going but I dont know the rules that govern the teams. I only found out by chance when I visited my local GW store.

Well, it's a shop tournament, so you just go there, then buy the minis you need to play with ...

just to clarify, it's a GW cell tournament, so it's only the stores in Cambridge's cell. AFAIK it's Northampton, Leicester, Peterborough, Loughborough, Cambridge and Coventry.

Cambridge are sending a fairly decent team, with about 6 players I think.

Although I was a bit worried it would be just us showing up and no-one else, from what I hear there may well be a few people on the day...

And that clarifies things does it?

Cambridge Cell? What are you talking about, Indigo?

Indigo · Post by **Indigo** » Mon Feb 02, 2004 12:01 pm

stores in the UK are organised into cells, with each cell coming under a manager who then reports back to HQ. Cells are typically organised according to geography although how the hell cambridge, loughborough and cov got lumped together I don't know.

cells typically organise their own 40k/WFB tournaments as it provides a way of building up some inter store rivallry.(sp?)

totally unconnected to the BB AFAIK

Still my answer has not been answered, does the normal tourney rule arrange or do they have any special ones?

we don't know yet, it hasn't been announced. expect rules similar to last year's BB, including star players in all likelihood.

Update on this: there are 12 people going, with another 4 or 5 from Cambridge. With an unknown number of staff likely to play, this suggests there may be about 25 or so competitors.

Probable start time is ~ 11am as WW doesn't open much before then...

I know 3 ppl from Northampton going, but I think there is more. This is my first real tourney and to be honest I havn't been BB that long, just wanted some experience before the Pearly Kings and Queens. So its 3 games high point value to semis and the finals?
