Gryphonbowl 21st Sept., Holmes Chapel (Euro warm-up)
Posted: Tue Jun 24, 2014 12:15 pm
All,
I'm thinking of reviving the Gryphonbowl at the end of September. For those of you who don't know the Gryphonbowl is a one day, 3 game tournament held at Terra Nova School, Holmes Chapel, Cheshire.
Firstly, since the Furry Cup was so successful, I'm stealing Fraser's format to keep it as cheap as possible but throw some lunch and brews in to keep everyone happy.
Secondly, I think it would be a good oppotunity to have a warm up for the Eurobowl/Europen. The idea will be use the Eurobowl day 1 rules namely:
Team creation
• Team value 110
• No inducements are allowed, except for Goblin Bribes (50K each, maximum 3) and a Master Chef for Halflings (100K).
We were toying with the idea of giving lower tier teams extra budget, but quickly decided that those teams need extra skills more than they need the extra money. Allowing all inducements was never on our agenda, as EuroBowl is not the right tournament to experiment.
Team tiers:
• TIER 1: Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Lizardmen, Necromantic, Norse, Orc, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elf
• TIER 2: Chaos, Chaos Pact, (Pro) Elf, High Elf, Human, Khemri, Nurgle’s Rotters, Slann, Underworld, Vampire
• TIER 3: Goblin, Halfling, Ogre
Skills:
• Tier 1: 3 normal skills
• Tier 2: 4 normal skills + 1 ‘double’ skill
• Tier 3: 3 normal skills + 2 ‘double’ skills
All skills must be assigned before the start of the tournament i.e. before the drawer
Skill assignment
• Stacking is not allowed, no player can ever receive more than one skill.
• All skills must be clearly noted on all copies of your team roster before the tournamenent starts.
You will be asked to hand in a copy of your team roster to the tournament organisation before the tournament starts.
Any interest?
