It's with regret we're going to cancel this due to lack of interest. We will put more events on in the future still!

Alpha Games next Blood Bowl event!

THE RULES!
The event will be played using the current Blood Bowl Rules.
All NAF approved teams may be used in this event. Number of rounds depend on number of players.

All coaches will have 1,100,000 to purchase their team, as per the rule-books and the teams of legend PDF.

Star players may be selected if you already have 11 rostered players. If, however, both you and an opponent are using the same star player, neither team may use them (as they have been double booked and can’t play for both teams).

Wizards and special play cards may not be used but all other inducements may be selected (Bribes, Halfling Master Chef, etc.)

Skill package will be as follows:
• Tier 1 teams will gain 4 skills. Amazons, Bretonnians, Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Lizardmen, Norse, Orcs, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elves
• Tier 2 teams will gain 5 skills. Chaos Renegades, Elf Union, High Elves, Humans, Khemri, Necromantic
• Tier 3 teams will gain 6 skills, one of which may be a double. Daemons of Khorne, Chaos, Nurgle’s Rotters, Slann, Underworld Denizens, Vampires
• Tier 4 teams will gain 8 skills, two of which may be doubles. Goblins, Halflings, Ogres
• Rostered players may only ever receive a single skill.
• Stat increases may not be awarded.

The Mutatotor is a resurrection style tournament so all injuries are forgotten after each match. Raise The Dead spells for Undead and Necromantic will only give you the free zombie for that game.

The Mutatotor!

The Mutatotor visits the dressing rooms of the teams before each match and bestows his gifts upon some of the players!
At the start of the first round each coach will be given three mutation cards or tokens at random! These are to be used as follows throughout the day. A player can be given one (and only one) of these mutations before any match. The skill lasts for the duration of the round after which the card/token will be collected and is used for the day! You may use any number of mutations at the start of a round. I.e. you may use all three of your mutations in round one but have none for the duration or you may use one in each round. It’s up to you!

POINTS:
• 30 points for a win
• 15 points for a draw
• 0 points for a loss
• 1 point per casualty caused (max 3 points)
• 1 point per touchdown scored (max 3 points)
• Blocking, fouling and crowd push casualties will count towards your casualty score. Failed dodges, GFI’s or kick-off result injuries will not count.

There will be prizes for taking part are:
-Overall Winner
-Runner Up

Morning! Just bumping this as there's not long now!

Thanks

The boss is asking for a little feedback, were the rules too silly or just a bad weekend? Cheers

for me personally bad weekend - rules looked interesting.

I wouldn't say that there was much wrong with the rule set. Price point isn't unreasonable assuming at least 3 games could have been managed.

I think 5 weeks is a bit of short lead in for an event without an existing group already taking places. Obviously you may have had sign-ups through other things but on the basis of whats here there's not much to draw people in. I would suggest people tend to make plans a bit more than a few weeks in advance or they decide the week before and look for something local. Many of the attendees from this forum will tend to be in the former group.

Maybe look to talk to coaches and clubs from the area. Have something on with locals which you can pull travelling gamers into.

I am still tempted but it's a bit close to summer holidays ending. I still need to finalize negotiations with the better half

Too late

I've edited the thread title as it was a little unclear

Well that makes negotiations a little less difficult at least.

Only noticed this earlier in the week, I had just negotiated attendance, oh well. I have two tournaments before the World Cup still to go!
