BUBBLE 2513, August 31th and September 1st, Utrecht

[JaM]

Thanks!
What about inducements (bribes and stuff), starplayers,...?

[mepmuff]

4) NO inducements apart from bribes (50K, three max, gobbo's only) and chef (100K, halflings only)

[JaM]

Thanks!

Out of curiosity; was there a particular reason to do four games on saturday and two on sunday? Wouldn't three on three made more sense, in terms of time scheduling? (Or are we continuing late into the evening on saturday... )

[JaM]

I think it's beacuse of the time the Korenbeurs will be open on Sunday.

[Dave]

that's one of the reasons, the other main one being the fact that some people want to get home in time on sunday and tha late opening (hey, again?) of the Korenbeurs doesn't leave much room for that.

[Vinz D.]

Following up my previous question then: What will the time schedule be?

[Dave]

we'll arrange that next tuesday but a quick guess:

10:00 opening and registration
11:00 first game
13:30 second game
16:00 third game
18:30 fourth game

12:00 first game
14:30 second game
17:00 awards and stuff

Seeing as you're using my rules before I do , please let me know how it all goes. Might settle a few concerns I have (which I think are me worrying to much more than anything).

[Dave]

we'll surely let you know!

I'm currently deciding on my team choice(s).

Looking at how few skills you get, Slann feels like it should have been tier 3. No further remarks (yet)

[babass]

if i would have define the ruleset, i would have try to have 5 tiers, to let more choice to player.
with this ruleset, everybody will have to play 3 games with one of this roster: underworld, khermi, nurgle, vampire, goblin, halfling, ogre & Skinks : 8 rosters only ! (on 24 available)
not everybody has the figs of at least one of these rosters.

with 5 tiers, i would have give 6 points to share.
1 point for tier 1, 2 points for tier 2, ... 5 points for tier 5.
by this way, you would have 3 combinaisons of tier using the maximum number of points (tier1 + tier5, Tier2 & 4, and 2 teams tier3)
but, i know, it's hard to divide the "tier1" tier in 2 tiers (your tier1 is already the standard one for a standard ruleset TV110+5 skills)

Looking forward to it! I hope you didn't change the rules just because the last 2 BUBBLEs were won by dark elves (with a wizard).

To be honest, I think these rules are much cooler, especially because it suddenly gives a fighting chance to those guys who bring low tier races (goblins!) to tourneys anyway.
(I'll still try for a hat trick, though) =P

I like that the wizard isn't allowed (it's broken when you can just choose to get one), though I don't like the removal of inducements altogether. 1100 is quite a bit of TV for many teams, and star access helps fill a niche at the low skill level of tourneys. Though of course it has been dropped from the original 1200 TV to which I made my rosters, when I chose the races to sign up with.

What I couldn't find is whether one doubles skill is still allowed, as it is in the ARBBL proposal.

By the way; if anyone has some spare goblins I could use, that would be great.
