We have been asked to represent Iron Phoenix at the first ever Blood Bowl Swiss Res Tourney once the BB2 Legendary Edition comes out. We'll be running our own swiss qualifier for this event that will consist of 6 matches over the course of the next month. Teams will be given 1,100,000 gold pieces to build their team & the following skill choices:
4 normals, 1 double
6 normals
What this means is you build your team from any race up to 1.1mil TV THEN select your skill choices. After each match the team will reset to normal for the next match. Zombies, skeletons & players raised from Nurgle's Rot will not be kept on your team, you will not gain spp's & you will not collect gold. You will also not be allowed to use inducement money for any inducements.
Bribes & some star players WILL be allowed to be permanently rostered AFTER you have purchased up to 11 normal players. Zara the Slayer may not be used. I will be keeping track of matches & arranging matchups after each round is done so be sure to send me match results including casualties (not from fouling or surfs or failed dodges) & scores. There will be no overtime.
Please PM me or post here with any rules questions.
Now, on to the issues with running a tourney like this!
BB2 does NOT have an elegant or feasible way to do this type of tourney until LE drops. Unfortunately, the tournament starts the day of release so we need to find 4 teams beforehand. Because of these issues we will be running the tournament in BB:CE. It has all the teams that LE will have except Slann & brettonian (I can get you a slann or bret team-file for bb1 if you really hate yourself enough to play them) as well as the ability to edit your team manually & play via LAN.
I've already written a document on how to open your ports for LAN play here. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you require further assistance setting this up. Any admin here can assist with the BB1 team editor usage.
If anyone is unclear on Swiss scoring it can be found here. We'll be running the standard 3-1-0 scoring system with TD's & cas as tiebreakers.
Please ask yourself if you're able to complete another league consisting of 6 games in 4 weeks before signup. If so, post your team name & coach name for BB1 & let's get rolling!
