BLOCK AROUND THE CLOCK II
11 games in 24 hours


Its back, yes we are going to run Block Around The Clock again….

YES that’s another 11 games over 24 hours at TV110.

We have planned a very special venue near Durham City Centre but due to the size of the venue we will have to cap entry to 16 coaches.

All games will be NAF ranked.


Entry and Entry Fee

We will take names of people that are interested now.

Tickets will go on sale at 11am Saturday 7th April. Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis. And once 16 coaches have paid entry will be closed.

Ticket prices will be £15.


How to Pay

Payments can be sent to stanlowfell@live.co.uk via paypal. Please designate the payment as "personal" and a "gift".

Any payments received before 11am on 7/4/2012 will be returned (maybe) and will not be accepted as payment in advance.

A list will be posted on TFF of all coaches that have paid as payment is recieved.

Entry fee will include pizzas, snacks, and refreshments.


How To Get There

The venue is still top secret

But it is close to both the A1, and Durham City Centre. The venue is served with good transport links to the bus stations, and rail station, and the Don_Vito taxi service should be in operation should you need transport from Newcastle.


Things To Bring With You

Your painted team.
Your Blood Bowl board
Dice.
Templates.


Block Around The Clock Rules

Block Around The Clock will be using the CRP / LRB 6.0 rules. The 3 new teams (Slann, Underworld and Chaos Pact) will be allowed.

The Illegal Procedure will not be enforced.

In order to play all 11 games in 24 hours we will be playing 2 hour games. I will call games if they run over the 2 hours. Regular time updates will be given and I ask that you try to play your game in your 2 hours.

We will be using the standard "Resurrection" rules: teams remain identical from game to game, with casualties, winnings, fan factor rolls etc. not carrying forward.

Undead or Nurgle teams may not keep 'raised' players from game to game.


Team Selection

Coaches may spend up to 1,100,000 gc on their teams.

Coaches may not include Star Players.

An exception to this rule is Halfling, Goblin, Ogre and Underworld teams, who may hire up to two Star Players.

No other Inducements are allowed.

If a coach spends less than the 1.1m he will not be entitled to Inducements on a game by game basis.


Skills

Each team is allowed ONE Double skill and 5 Single Skills.
You may only give two 2 copies of any skill this way.



Games and Scoring

All games for Block Around The Clock will be pre-drawn.

The Fixture list will be drawn on the morning of the event.

You must play your games in the order set out in draw.

Points are scored as follows:

2 points for a win.
1 points for a draw.
0 points for a loss.

Tiebreaker for the winner of the tournament is TD difference, CAS difference, TDs scored, CAS inflicted, opponent score and alphabetical order of name.

An inflicted CAS is one caused by blocking, crowd pushes, fouls, secret weapons, stabs.


Schedule

Saturday
12.00-12.30 – Registration
12.30-13.00 - DRAW
13.00-15.15 - Game 1
15.15-17.30 - Game 2
17.30-19.45 - Game 3

...and so on.

If you finish your game early feel free to play ahead with agreement of their opponent. Everyone was superb last year in playing in a respectful and timely manner and we had no issues with time management at all, which is a credit to the sixteen players last year. We expect no problems whatsoever this year again.


Prizes

BATC is again supplied with prize support from Gaspez Arts! A big thank you to them, expect some lovely models as prizes!

There will also be trophies for:-

Winner
2nd place
3rd place
Wooden Spoon

Hope to see you there!

[phil78]

Trying to get a pass out for this one again, last year was awesome.

[stick_with_poo_on_the_end]

Wye aye !

[PeteW]

I have found out that I can't go to Essen in October this year, as it clashes with my term time. "Why do I care?" I hear you ask. Well, it means that I might be able to swing a more distant, costly, tourney. And I think BatC sounds like all kinds of awesome.

And if I change at Derby then I get an uninterrupted 2 hrs 19 mins of trainly sleeping. Mmmm.... Sleep...

Colour me interested Don!

[Sizzler]

I am supremely interested!

Also, is there any sign of last year's documentary footage?

[Nippy Longskar]

I'll try and come to this.

[Pipey]

I'll be there I hope

I believe the date is going to change to 11th August because of clash with Ribble Rumble. Stan_Vito to confirm.

I believe the date is going to change to 11th August because of clash with Ribble Rumble. Stan_Vito to confirm.

That'd be an excellent change as I'd like to go to both, and I'm sure one or two others would too.

[Don__Vito]

Change of date confirmed, title correct again.

[PeteW]

IT clashes with Thrudball now, though, or doesn't that matter as they are at opposite ends of the country?

[Pipey]

It does now clash with Thrud.

Given that BATC is...
a) a small local tourney in the North East (16 maximum capacity)
b) Bognor Regis is 250-300 miles away (as you say Pete)

... there should be minimal if no 'competition' between the two events.

So in terms of NAF approval, it's not a problem.

[Don__Vito]

What he said...

[Joemanji]

It's a conspiracy!

[robsoma]

it just so happens that i booked a random saturday off in August and it happens to be the 11th!! So i think i'll come to this i'm sure iain said he fancied this too so i'll let him know the dates

[stanrichardson]

Also, is there any sign of last year's documentary footage?

The footage was sezied by the police on the grounds of decency.

Although the makers of 2 girls 1 cup are trying to buy it for their next movie.
