Tournament Rules:
-5 games over the course of two days, which will include 4 rounds of Swiss pairing followed by the
final round as a Championship round.
-Weather will be rolled for by the top table at the beginning of each round. The weather result will
apply to everyone’s games.
-Any official team in the LRB 6.0 are welcome, as well as the three new races, Slann, Chaos Pact, and
Underworld Creepers.
-Rosters are TV 1200k, (includes skills purchased see below)
-Tournament will be a resurrection style tournament. So any injuries your team suffers will not carry
over to the next game, and any SPPs they earn will also be erased. The roster you start the tournament
with will be the same for each round you play.

Allowed Inducements:
You may purchase these Inducements for your team, and have them for the start of each match. If two
teams play each other and have the same star player, they will both be allowed to field the Star.
Bloodwieser Babes
Bribes
Extra Team Training
Master Chef

Wandering Apothecaries

Illegal Procedure:
In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Illegal Procedures will not be called. The 4-minute turn rule will
not be strictly enforced. But if the Tournament Referee feels the game may not finish in the 2-hour time
allotted, he may insist you use a timer and begin enforcing the 4-minute rule.
Dice:
Before each match you and your opponent should agree on one set of dice to share throughout the match. Blocking dice should be either GW, or NAF dice only.

Scoring
10 points for a Win
5 points for a Tie
2 points for a Loss
Bonus points: +1 per Casualty and +1 per TD
- points based on the average from your Etiquette ranking


Blood Bowl Etiquette Questionnaire:
Simple YES or NO questionnaire based on your opponent’s Gameplay and Painting. There are 7
questions on Gameplay and 6 on Painting. These are various traits the best
sportsmen in the game already do on a consistent basis. Now, it’s time to
find out if you do them as well…
A Coach will receive a -1 penalty for “NO’s” given for the below questions
• Turning models that have completed their action
• Consistency with Cocked Dice rulings
• Provided copy of roster to opponent
• Moving players into each square when they move to miss a dodge
• Using ONLY NAF/ GW Block Dice (everyone should get this one!)
• Completing your turns in a Satisfactory pace
• The MOST fun opponent to play out of all opponents
• Having your entire team painted to a three color minimum
• Painting or Flocking or Texturing all of your model’s bases
• Each position on your team easily identifiable to your opponent
• skill/stat upgrades on your team easily identifiable to your opponent
• each model on your team clearly numbered and matching your roster
• Provided marker for any failed negative skills (if applicable)

Additional Skills:
Players will not gain skills with SPPs. Before the tournament begins you may spend Gold on
skills and improvements for your players. No player may be given more than 1 additional skill. Use
the following pricing.
20,000 New Skill
30,000 Skills that can only be taken on doubles
30,000 +MA or +AV
These are the only improvements you may choose.

Painting:, and Modeling requirements:
All teams are expected to meet the minimum painted guidelines. They must have 3 colors on them and
no metal showing. Numbers should be on both the front and back of the base. Non standard or converted minis are acceptable, but we must be able to easily tell the positions apart. You will not be allowed to proxy minis in any way that can confuse an opponent. “This woodelf lineman is actually a catcher.” If you need to borrow models or a team, there are several
people that may be able help you out with that, don't be afraid to ask.

Sportsmanship:
We are here for the fun of the game. Sportsmanship is not encouraged from the coaches, it is required!
To make sure that everyone who attends will have fun the Tournament official will issue a warning to
anyone who is taking away from the fun environment we are looking for. If the behavior continues you
will be asked to leave the tournament. Arguing with the tournament organizer or in any way showing
them up can also result in a warning. An important note on sportsmanship. Fouling 16 turns in a row
and running up the score is not poor sportsmanship. But gloating and ridiculing your opponent while
doing so is. Remember we are here to have a good time.

NAF:
This event will be NAF sanctioned
(If you don’t know what the NAF is go to http://thenaf.net/index.php for more info)
Also will count towards the West Coast Grand Prix

Awards:
These prizes are the minimum, more may be added depending on the amount of coaches
1st and 2nd (place are locked in at the end of round 4 and will play head to head in round 5)
Best Coach (Most points after 5 rounds)
Sportsman
Best Appearance

Please let me know if you get this Naf sanctioned, if so, I will count it as part of West Coast Grand Prix.

[Weav]

What time does this start on Sat, and end on Sun?

[fe2mike]

Rules updated, and NAF sanctioning approved.

[daloonieshaman]

Mike,
I recomend you apply the quickly developing standard of numbers on the front and back of the bases.
Just a recomendation

[Weav]

Did I miss the venue for this?

[fe2mike]

Nope, still deciding between 2 venues. Should be finalized by end o the week. It's down to two game stores, and both have plenty of room. I am also finalizing the championship trophy and the give-aways.

That would be awesome if you could make it, I know that the Rat City guys have some talk about making it over too.

I'll update posts and add links now, good idea.

Are you going to be at the Spike! ?
Hope to see you there.

[fe2mike]

Hey guys here is a WIP of the Trophy. (still working on handles for hammers)

Each tourney someone will walk away with a hammer, and get their name added to the trophy.

[Weav]

A lot of momentum is building for Burk, Frosty and I to be there. Our buddy in Spokane has agreed to let us crash at his place, so all we have to do is dot I's and cross T's.

[Weav]

There has been an unexpected complication so I won't be attending...sounded fun, sorry Mike.
