LuteceBowl 2010 -- May 1st/2nd (close to Paris, France)

LuteceBowl 2010 on the road again

Some details still have to be fixed but we will notice you about them as soon as possible.

The big news for this tournament: we try the “All inclusive”, to have a great week-end. For this we are going to Fort de Bruyère (Aisne) the week-end of 1st and 2nd of May
But this formula has a constraint; we have to limit the registration to 20 teams (100 coaches).

As last year, we are going to do a “team tournament”, 5 coaches per team and tournament rate is still 40€ (2 lunches, 1 dinner and 2 breakfasts and nights).
To help us about the registration we ask you to organize the team and only the captain sends registrations for all the team (name of coaches, and the payment for all : 200€, don’t send rosters) at this postal address:
ASSOCIATION LUTECECUP
14 RUE DE DOUAI
75009 PARIS
The captain has to ensure that each coach in the team will play a different race.
You can pre-registered team, you just have send a mail to crew@lutececup.org, with a clear subject as : [LB2k10] team registration

(pre)Registred teams will be managed on our forum, and we will do our best to do it on NAF’s forum or on ex-TBB.
We will open a specific thread on our forum or send us an email to crew@lutececup.org, for those who don’t have team and would like to participate, we will do our best to include them in a team.

Today, what can we say?
- there will have beer (a lot, like last year)
- We will manage to use the place to have a very nice evening with a lot of games.

Normaly we are expecting to be able to welcome you the Friday evening but we still have to fix it.

[Dave]

there are plans for a BUBBLE delegation
early plans but plans nevertheless

[JaM]

Not too sure, the whole team-idea just isnt my style I think. I didnt mind last year, but it's not something that makes me want to go more...

Nevertheless, I might come. Depending on RL etc. etc.

[Grumbledook]

what are the team values and skill rules?

[Kool]

what are the team values and skill rules?

team value should be 110, about skills we have to finalize it, I can say it will be 5 minimum, might be 6 it will have a double. And I think we will do something like last year : 3 skills at the begining of the first day and the rest at the begining of the second one.

No we are thinking about probable second way, a greater team value but you will have to buy skills in your roster. The Ain pact tested this method in first and it looks work.

Anyway we are going to fix it for january.

let me know if you have any other questions and what do you think about our 2 ways about skill rules.

another think, we will use the last LRB, it means the 6 validated by GW if it's done else the current LRB5 and anyway we will accept chaos pact, underworld and slane.

Hi everyone,

here are some official news about the Lutecebowl. If you still have some questions, I will try to come here as often as I can to answer to them. Hope to meet you at the Lutecebowl.

Lutecebowl 2010

The competition is coming soon. Coaches are gathering to build up their teams and to plan which dirty tricks they’re going to use.
One thing is sure: this year’s Lutecebowl will be hot… filled with a lot of surprises and emotions! Here are some news for you to catch a glimpse of this week-end (we still keep a few jokers in our pack ).


Dates :
1st and 2nd of May 2010
We can greet you from Friday 30th April, 5 pm.

Price : 40 euros per person


Place :
This year’s Lutecebowl will take place in an old military fort, which has been renovated by local associations. The place is also well known by LARP players. Here are some pictures :

where the competition will take place

the fort moat
and a link for more details (how to come, plan of the fort…)
The good news: the tournament is “all inclusive”. This means that the price includes everything from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon.
The bad news: a military fort also means… a little bit like a Spartan place. So you should bring at least a sleeping bag and a mattress, and at best a tent you can pitch in the grassy area.
The fort has also some water tanks, which should be filled up. So you will be able to take shower, but we have to ask you for moderation in the use of water.



Rules :
This is a team tournament (5 coaches with 5 different races).

Rulebook : LRB 6.0 with the 3 additional races: slaan, underworld, chaos pact.

Resurrection system :
* TR 110
* Dead and injured players come back after each game without any alteration
* No winnings for the matches – the same team roster will be used during the 5 games
* No star player point / no improvement roll

Skills :
* 3 normal skills for Saturday morning
* 2 additional skills (1 normal skill + 1 “double” skill) for Sunday morning
* Maximum 1 skill to a single player
* Halflings coaches can choose 5 “double” skills
* No inducement except the Halfling Master Chef for Halfling teams (100k) and the bribe for goblin teams (100k)

Paint Bonus :
At Lutece we love the pretty teams. To symbolize that, the entirely painted teams (at least 3 colours + base for all the miniatures) will get a small advantage: +1 in fame.
This bonus cannot be used to get more than +2 in fame during a match.

Rankings :
Team rankings :
At each round, your team of 5 coaches will play against another team: 10 points to share (2 points per match)
Win: 2 points for the winning coach

Individual rankings:
Win : 300 points
Draw : 100 points
Loss : 0 points
TD : 3 points per TD
Casualty : 2 points per casualty

9:45 : round 1
12:00 : lunch
14:00 : round 2
16:30 : round 3

All the matches have to be played in less than 2 hours 15 minutes. As soon as the organization thinks that a match starts to be behind schedule, stopwatches will be dealt to the 2 coaches for them to be able to complete their match under fair conditions.

Catering :
This year, we hope we can come with a powerhouse team in charge of catering and of special animations.
Like last year, a draft beer tap will be available because we know that playing bloodbowl makes everyone thirsty.


Awards :
As the Lutecebowl is a team tournament, main trophies will reward teams. However, we still want to reward some individual accomplishments (casualties, touchdowns, fouls…)

registrations :
Preregistrations of complete and incomplete teams: if you want to take part in the Lutecebowl, please let us know on the Lutece website or by email: crew@lutececup.org
Preregistrations of coaches without team : if you want to take part in the Lutecebowl, please let us know on the Lutece website or by email: crew@lutececup.org

A Registration is confirmed, once the team captain has paid the fees of his whole team
5*40 euros = 200 euros by cheque to the following address:
ASSOCIATION LUTECECUP
14 RUE DE DOUAI
75009 PARIS
FRANCE
(Don’t forget when you send your payment, to give us the names of all your team coaches, the pseudonyms and the team name)

Please don’t forget that early payments really help us to organize your weekend under the best conditions.

Don’t send your team rosters when you register, you just have to check that each coach will play with different races

Registrations to NAF will be possible on site
