Excellent tourney again, many thanks to organiser and opponents both :) Might have ended a bit better too if Spence hadnt spotted I had turned up with a 1250 roster lol

One small suggestion/request though...for purely unselfish reasons ofc...any chance you would consider using the Free Fan Factor of 5 for next year?

It's not the first (or even 3rd) time in a tourney I've suffered from the +2 FAME and Pitch Invasion combo, and to have any chance of winning the tourney wiped out on those two dice rolls seems harsh!

I should thank you, Jim, for throwing that match (obviously) so I can win 3 Welsh Cakes. Which I hope to collect next time I see Hawca ;)

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

Excellent Tournament as usual. Cheers to Andy and Dave for running it.

Also 6 very interesting games, in which im pretty sure my Orcs have never taken such a pasting before.

That's the second tournament I've played you in and you cheated me, I'll be keeping an eye on you, DaPiranha :orc:

@MSJavaid, it's a shame you can't come to more tournament's, you could have a spot on team Douchbag with me and Gav at the Euros ;D

They do add to the game, agreed, but when your players are stunned on a 4+, it can effectively decide the match in itself. With 5 free fan factor, there is only ever gonna be +1FAME and Invasions limited to a 5+ stun, which is still interesting whilst less devastating.

Sarcasm is so hard to portrait on the internet, let me try again...

I think the plus +5 fan factor would be nice, throw a rock is also pump. But it wont help when your opponent rolls 3 tens in a row, dose it Dave? :(

I think you need +8FF to remove the potential of +2FAME, as the range is then 10 to 20.

With +5FF your range of potential rolls is still 7 to 17, which does give the option of +2FAME being awarded.

You can still get +2 FAME with +8FF. Having exactly double gives you +2 FAME too.

The Kick off table can change things for the bad,

the Pitch invasion being one, but, the Fame firstly being +2 then the pitch invasion being rolled is a very slim chance.

5.55%

the change of rolling a Blitz 8.33%

the chance of rolling 1,1 is 2.77 %

what im saying is while it can change things, the chances are slim and it happens.

some events take away the KO table, personally im not a fan of it. some +5 fame, again im not a fan.

ive had games where its been in my favour, and where its been against me.

as Frogboy said he was blitzed 3 times and 2-0 down by turn 2 on his drive. this had nothing to do with Fame.

imo to limit or remove one aspect with out another is going against the original intentions

So true Hawca and as Glowworm would say "My event, my rules" lol kick off table sucks but that's BloodBowl. Still had a great game against DaPiranha as I always do :D

It's not a case. My event my rules.

I don't think I'm the right person to change the rules.
