Talk Fantasy Football

I have my schedule laid out for me for the next while, and so looking ahead, this has to be the weekend of this tournament this coming year.

This year the tournament will be held in the basment of my new home, which means that I will not have to worry about finding a space, overhead cost of the room. etc. Which means that I can focus on other things like prizes, etc.

On that note, I am having a special mini made by Impact! miniatures for the tourney

Rules to follow soon, but pretty much it will be the same team creation and rules as last year (that part seemed to work okay).

Hope to see you out there!

Please see full rules at the tournament website follow the link in my sig

The following are the rules for the team creation and skill advancement at the tournament:

Team Creation:
Teams will be created at TV125
Inducements may be bought for their regular cost as permanent parts of the team.
Star players MAY be bought! (Q`ermitt wants to see the best of the best after all)
Halflings may hire the Master Chef at a cost of 50,000 gp
Goblin teams may buy bribes at a cost of 50,000 gp
Wizards may not be bought, Q'ermitt does not want any rivals present!

Sorry about that! I tend to advertise more on NAf, because there seems to be more response there. I forgot to update my profile message here, which includes the new website.

I will put it as part of my profile here, but to save you the additional trouble, here it is:

Hope to see you coming out! If there are any other questions that you have, just ask

Excellent, I'm going to try and make it. Drive up from Ohio.

Important Notice Regarding Team Creation and Star Players

One of the things that I have always envisioned for the Q'ermitt tournament, is that this is supposed to be the best of the teams in the world of all different races competing. Q'ermitt wants to see the best of the best, and yet the best players in Blood Bowl (the Star Players) have been noticably absent.

I am going to try out a system which, if it works will be a regular thing in the Q'ermitt tournaments. Under this system, each of the stars could be bought by one team, and one team only. This shows that the Star Player was always on your team, and has developed up from a green rookie into the superstar that they are today. This includes all Star Players, including all those with Secret Weapons.

Important to note:
Seeing as the Star Player has been with this team for a while, and are not a free agent, then they will not have the Loner trait.

It will of course, happen that there will be more than one team that will want a given Star Player, as such coaches who wish to purchase one or more Stars (to a maximum of two) they should be prepared for the Bidding War

Bidding War
* Team creation will now be at 125K
* Stars will have a list price which people may set aside money for them, but will not be guaranteed that player
* At the beginning of the tourney, any coaches who wish to buy a Star Player draw a number to see who selects first. The coach who selects first, names the first player they wish to purchase. If no one else contests, then they may purchase the player at the set price. If another coach contests, then the contesting coach may offer a higher price (in increments of 10,000 g.p.). If there is more than one coach contesting, then the bids go in order of their picks. The Star Player must be added to the roster of the coach who bids the highest.
* If it happens that a coach does not get the Star(s) that they allocated money for, then any leftover money may be used for player purchases, skills, etc.

I will be making a list of all Star Players and their initial list costs. Foir those who want to start planning a team around that, then figure abut 75% of the cost that is currently listed for those players.

Coaches who plan on using a Star Player should also have the model available for use, but should this become a regular thing, then I will paint a model for each of them to avoid having coaches bringing models unecessarily (i.e. they do not win the bid).

I think this should be fun! There are some awesome players out there begging to be used! Some can be made by purchasing the skills, but some cannot! I mean, how much would you pay for a big guy who does not go stupid? Or an elf with Hypnotic Gaze? Let's find out!

It is also important to note that that the Star Player would take up a positional spot according to what they are - so sorry Dan, if you take Ramtut, then you can only have three other mummies. In some cases this will not be so clear (e.g. Count Luthor) but I will include on the list with their prices, which position they would occupy on the team.

If people take 15 minutes after the final pick, then I will impose the following:
Step 1 - Buy as many (0-16) players as their remaing money will allow
Step 2 - Whatever is left over will be used to purchase Fan Factor, Coaches and Cheerleaders.

This will be strictly enforced to ensure that the rest of the tourney is not delayed.

Also, as an afterthought here, I will start the Bidding War on time which means if you are showing up late, then you miss the chance to bid for the Star you want! Show up ion time people!

One last addendum to the Bidding War

Should a coach not receive the Star Player that they want, then they may bid for other players when their turn would come around again. (E.g. The coach with the first pick is outbid for theStar they want, after all the other coaches have bid, then they may bid on an available player when all other coaches have had their turn).





I am still finalizing prices, but will have those up for your consideration as soon as they are done.

Great news! It would be good to see some new blood in the Ontario BB scene! Do you think that you would want to participate in the Stunty Cup as well?

Right now the tourney is scheduled to be in my basement, and we could probably comfortably house about 16-20 people, but the attendance is growing quickly, so I might have to look at an alternate location. That would be a shame as we have lots of things to do between games (while we wait for the others to finish) like Guitar Hero, foozball, air hockey, etc. etc.

Any participants are also welcome to stay on Saturday night to watch the UFC fight night (but you have to cheer for GSP! ) Regardless of where the tourney is being held on Saturday, the Stunty Cup will be at my place as it is a small tourney and I do not want to miss UFC that night!

I am going to have to get some pics of the trophies that I have been working on, but here is one prize that just arrived in the mail today, they were blocking dice made for a BB tournament in Spain:



I will have one set available as a prize in the tourney

I have a question : what's the schedule ? and it's LRB5.0, right ?

Ok I find that on the website, I just didn't figured that your signature was a link ! What a powerfull Q'ermitt !

For the record, there will be four games on Saturday, and then two on Sunday - that way those people who have to travel long distances can still get home at a relatively decent hour.

It is LRB 5.0

And yes, Q'ermitt is very powerful!

Here are some pics of the boards that a friend took at last year's Challenge of Q'ermitt:
