[sann0638]

Thanks Phil. We are at services on the motorway, only a few miles away. Hoped to get to camdub but dates didn't work. Another year!

[sann0638]

Assume one skill per player?

[Jip]

Interested, blame Sann!

What’s the deal with the Round Events, and is there a rulespack anywhere that covers skills (what does “front loaded” mean?), star players, inducements etc.?

[nonumber]

Dem tiers...

[Lycos]

I have just paid

[cornish]

It seems highly likely that I may be able to make this again! Popped my BB tournament cherry here with a Stunty cup and still proudly use my dice cup in every tournament since. Will confirm in next fortnight

Wouldn't mind some sort of contact from the TO...

I contacted the venue on twitter (@BFHobbies). They're pretty active, so will hopefully hear back soon.

Events;

Round 1 – No Event

Round 2 – Freak Weather

2 d6 - Effect

2 Lightning. The air is lit up by regular lightning strikes… When the moving team ends its turn during a lightning storm, roll a d6. If the result is a 1, a player from that team, randomly selected, has been struck by lightning. Place prone and roll for armour and injury as if hit by Mighty Blow.

3 or 4 Torrential Rain. A torrential downpour is causing complete havoc! All attempts to handle the ball, including Picking Up the ball and all Catch rolls have a -1 modifier. Only Quick/Short Passes may be attempted. The extremely muddy conditions reduce all MA by 1. (Adjusted MA cannot be reduced below 3).

5 or 6 Pouring Rain. A persistent downpour is making the ball slippery and difficult to hold. This causes a -1 modifier on all attempts to handle the ball, including Picking Up the ball and all Catch rolls.

7 Drizzle. The Storm is easing off, no penalties apply.

8 or 9 Autumn Wind. A strong breeze is blowing through the trees and blowing their leaves all over the pitch. This makes the surface a bit slippery and GFI’s will fail on a roll of 1 and 2.

10 or 11 Strong Wind. Immediately roll randomly on the Scatter template to determine wind direction. The result is the direction of the Strong Wind. All Kick-Offs and Inaccurate Passes will scatter an additional D6 squares (in the air) in this direction before normal scatter rolls are made.

12 Shrieking Gale. There is the most ear-splitting gale racing down off the mountain. All Kick-Offs are automatically touchbacks. No passes may be attempted.

Round 3 - Coach Bonus

Each coach will draw a random card from a deck, on it will be one of the 50k play cards. No Coach will have the same card.


Round 4 - Orca Cola

Vault Bowl IV sponsors Orca Cola provide a magic potion. Coaches must give this potion to any player on their team.
Orca Cola Result (D8 roll):

1 – player gains really stupid
2 – player gains loner
3 – player gains +1MA
4 – player gains +AV
5 – player gains dauntless and frenzy
6 – player gains tackle and wrestle
7 – player gains +1AG
8 – player gains +1ST


Round 5 - Excuse me Coach can I play.....

Each coach is approached by a stunty who offers his services;
Roll a D6:

1 - Snotling - 5 1 3 5 loner, dodge, stunty, titchy, sidestep
2 - 3 halfling - 5 2 3 6 loner, dodge, stunty
4 -5 goblin - 6 2 3 7, loner, dodge, stunty
6 - skink - 8 2 3 7 loner, dodge, stunty
The stunty will play for the team regardless of race.


Round 6 - 12th man

The crowd is on your side. Surf an opposing player into the crowd on your half of the pitch and the crowd beat them up with mighty blow. Players surfed into the crowd in their half will suffer a normal injury roll.

Please can coaches bring a model that can represent thier stunty.
