Entry costs and payment

The Hornswoggle Cup is part of the church’s games day; however, it is being organised by WYBBL who will be collecting the fees, these fees will be used to purchase trophies and as a donation to the church for use of the hall.

Entry is £10.00 per coach, and all coaches need to be NAF registered. We are hoping to have a NAF representative at the event who can register or renew coaches (normally at a cost of £5.00).

Please send payments by paypal to admin@wybbl.org.uk. Could you select the ‘gift’ or ‘paying a friend’ option so we don’t lose out on fees please?

Due to previous issues, we will not be offering refunds, however will do everything we can to help you sell your ticket on to another coach should the need arise.

Rules

The Hornswoggle Cup will be using current NAF approved rule set. Please check the NAF website for the current rules.

The Illegal Procedure will not be enforced. There is a time limit for games, so coaches are encouraged to play 4 minute turns to ensure games are completed. Any games that reach the time limit will have to be halted and the result at this point will be the final result of that game.

We will be using the standard “Resurrection” rules; coaches will play each match with the same starting roster and do not need to record SPPs or any ongoing injuries. Undead, Necro or Nurgle teams may not keep ‘raised’ players from game to game.

Coaches may spend up to 850,000 gold crowns on their team roster. Star Players are not allowed.

No inducements may be taken except by goblins, who may take up to 3 bribes at 50k each, and halflings who may hire a master chef for 100k.

Each team will be offered a skills package to enhance their players; this will be done on a tier system.

TIER 1: Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Lizardman, Norse, Orc, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elf, Chaos, Chaos Pact, Elf, High Elf, Human, Khemri, Necromantic, Nurgle, Slann, Underworld, Vampire, Khorne, Bretonnian

TIER Stunty: Halfling, Goblin, Ogre, Underworld (no Skaven), Lizardmen (no Saurus)

The packages will be as follows:
TIER 1 = 2 normal skills, or 1 double skill.
TIER Stunty = 2 normal skills, and 1 double skill.

Games and Scoring

The first round will be drawn randomly, with all further rounds using the Swiss system. The overall winner will be the coach with the most points at the end of the day – there will be no final.

Points are scored as follows:

50 points for a win.
20 points for a draw.
0 points for a loss.
+1 Bonus point per touchdown (max 3 bonus points)
+1 Bonus point per casualty (max 3 bonus points)
+1 Bonus point per interception (max 3 bonus points)

Ties (for both Swiss and final winner) will be resolved as follows:
Ties to be determined on the following (in order) Head to Head, Strength of Schedule, Combined TD and Causality difference

Casualty score in this case is casualties from BLOCKING ONLY (including “defensive” ones where the blocking player ends up injured and gives the intended victim a casualty point).

Things To Bring With You

A painted (or inked) team.
Your Blood Bowl board.
Dice.
Templates.
Three roster sheets (one for the head ref, one for yourself and one for your opponent).

Place Holder - Currently talking to the NAF about sanctioning...

Alrighty, once you got a thing down I'll add it to the calendar

[indiana-utah]

The Hornswoggle Cup is now open for business!

This might be the most unusual, and fun tournament of the year! Sign up today to be a part of history. The Hornswoggle Cup, the shallow end of the tournament scene!

[PeteW]

Certainly is unusual!

Are you sure you mean 850k? That doesn't buy you much!

Wood elves with one wardancer, one thrower, 9 line elves, with leader and strip ball.

Lizardmen with 6 saurus, 5 skinks and one reroll, plus 2 block. (Maybe not so bad)

Going to be a very strange tournament!!

[indiana-utah]

That's the plan

Too many tournaments have TV at 1.1m or 1.2m, so we decided to do something different and make people have to think about roster choices.

[indiana-utah]

Hornswoggle is now 50% full, with interest for the remaining 50% already expressed.

Places will be allocated on a first to pay, first to play basis as per NAF guidelines, so until money is received, places aren't guaranteed.

I’m not super sure re: this ruleset but I am in! Payment has been sent

Btw on your list above you’ve got 2 x number 10 slots.

[Barney the Lurker]

Interested too although wont be able to commit until nearer the time, so will have to run the risk of missing out

I like the less TV idea although TV850 is v tight, especially for elves and dwarves. If you run again I'd suggest TV900 to open it up a little bit.

Great stuff.

Not seen the payment land yet (been away camping, and only just been able to check PayPal).

The plan was to make it tight, and limit what the normal big tournament teams can rock up with, after all, no self respecting big tournament team would lower themselves to compete in a Hornswoggle event

We've already got ideas on how to improve for next time, but we want to see how this goes first, after all, we are in uncharted territory.

[Barney the Lurker]

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea and would like to attend if I'm able. Already burnt a good amount of time looking at rosters. Although lack of stars made my Flings sad

[indiana-utah]

Happy for feedback pre and post tournament, I want the Hornswoggle Cup to be a yearly event, so all input is good.

I think #stars4stunties is a definite change that needs to happen for Hornswoggle Cup 2.
