Alpha bowl, autumn championships. 21st Oct. Bury st Edmunds

[greatcrusade08]

Tickets can be brought online here:
https://www.alphagames.co.uk/product/alphabowl2018/

The event will be played using the current Blood Bowl Rules.
All NAF approved teams may be used in this event. Number of rounds depend on number of players.

All coaches will have 1,100,000 to purchase their team, as per the rule-books and the teams of legend PDF.

Star players may be selected if you already have 11 rostered players. If, however, both you and an opponent are using the same star player, neither team may use them (as they have been double booked and can’t play for both teams).

Wizards and special play cards may not be used but all other inducements may be selected (Bribes, Halfling Master Chef, etc.)

Skill package will be as follows:
• Tier 1 teams will gain 4 skills. Amazons, Bretonnians, Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Lizardmen, Norse, Orcs, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elves
• Tier 2 teams will gain 5 skills. Chaos Renegades, Elf Union, High Elves, Humans, Khemri, Necromantic
• Tier 3 teams will gain 6 skills, one of which may be a double. Daemons of Khorne, Chaos, Nurgle’s Rotters, Slann, Underworld Denizens, Vampires
• Tier 4 teams will gain 8 skills, two of which may be doubles. Goblins, Halflings, Ogres
• Rostered players may only ever receive a single skill.
• Stat increases may not be awarded.

The Alpha Games Summer Bowl is a resurrection style tournament so all injuries are forgotten after each match. Raise The Dead spells for Undead and Necromantic will only give you the free zombie for that game.

POINTS:
• 7 points for a win
• 3 points for a draw
• 0 points for a loss
• 1 point per casualty caused (max 3 points)
• 1 point per touchdown scored (max 3 points)
• Blocking, fouling and crowd push casualties will count towards your casualty score. Failed dodges, GFI’s or kick-off result injuries will not count.

PRIZES:
There will be prizes for taking part including, but not limited to:
• Overall Winner
• Runner Up
• Most Casualties
• Most Touchdowns
Prizes will be shared in a friendly way, i.e. if you win and score most casualties the next highest casualty causing coach will receive that prize.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:
Please bring your own board, dice, templates, etc. (i.e. everything you should need to play).

MORE INFORMATION:
£15 entry
Number of rounds depending on player numbers.

[lunchmoney]

You are using NAF rules but are you applying for NAF sanctioning?

[M_Ruckuss]

Hi- I’m new to the forums and live reasonable close. Was wondering how sign ups for the event are going?!

[greatcrusade08]

hi Lunch.
I believe we were too late to get it NAF registered according to NAF rules (6 weeks right?)
As a fledgling league/tournament organiser, Alpha plan to get all NAF reg done by thier next event.
Im only really helping out, I don't run alpha or its leagues, so don't want to step on any toes

thanks

I think sign ups are ok atm, looking around 10-12 atm from local players

No toes being stepped on mate. You did a great job of keeping us all on the straight and narrow last time!

It'd be good to see some more folks join in and teach us a thing or two!

As for the NAF registration it's something that the shop management is working on but perhaps one us (you @Unsullied ) could take on that role for next time? With so many games and events I think this was just an oversight though.

Did this go ahead? Who won?

[JustMark]

We ran it despite only five coaches turning up in the end.

I won with Norse, Ogres finished second.

Hopefully there will be more interest next time
