Note: Trial of Blood games are not scouted by Bushtown officials, and therefore does not count towards their tough entry requirements.

Jev's on 11!

12 different coaches is a big ask. Maybe lower the bar a bit. How about 12 different teams, of which at least 8 must be different coaches?

With around 1 month left until SWL Thunderdome, the buzz is building in Bushtown. Seeing the grit and determination on display in Fringe, expectations for a crunching tourney is spreading.

The following teams have already been invited to Thunderdome: Morgwegian (ramchop), Late Show (tussock), Fringe Lurkers (sharper), Crookwell Geen Devils (tribalsinner), Crash Tragic (Daudy), and reigning champions Blackwater Blitz (Foad).

However the elders of Bushtown have understood there is an even bigger market for match revenue out here. And they obviously want to tap into that by drawing in even more contestants.



Subsequently teams now only need to play a total of 8 games (vs different coaches) to be extended an invitation.

But. Teams showing the extra grit and play the full 12 however, will receive a Magic Item for the each games of the Swiss part of Thunderdome.


Entries for Thunderdome will close sometime during round 2 of the Bob Borc Cup (date TBA), so there is still time to get noticed by Bushtown.

Thunderdome start date: June 26th

The Thunderdome draw will be made shortly after the KO draw for BBC2.

This means you have until 2200 SWL time June 26th to play the requisite 8 games to enter Thunderdome (or 12 to unlock bonus magic item).

Main prize: the winner will receive two unique star players (Master Blaster) to be put on their roster, while another rostered player will be equipped with a secret weapon of choice (no SW roll).

If this had have been the total from the start.... Didn't bother trying because I knew 12 was out of reach. 8, however, would have been do-able.

One Week Warning - Get your final games in for the Thunderdome

Dr. Mealgood wrote:
Listen on! Listen on! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring, and that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now, busted up and everyone talking about the Great War! But we've learned! By the dust of them all, we've learned. Now, when men get to fighting, it happens on the pitch, and it finishes on the pitch! Two teams enter; one team leaves.


The Thunderdome will be drawn after the BBC2 KO draw on Mon 26th.

You have until the draw to finish up to 8 (or 12) games to enter the torunament.



Thunderdome Rules:
    âš¡ Open for all Fringe teams having played 12 (or 8 ) non-ToB Fringe Games since the end of Waikikamukau.
    âš¡ 3 rounds swiss with overtime; then top half (rounded down to 2, 4, 8, etc.) plays TV seeded KotH. Winner plays Thunderdome Champions Blackwater Blitz (Foad).
    âš¡ No extensions.
    âš¡ Banned Sneaky Gits goes to KO box
    âš¡ Teams receive 50k card and 250k inducement allowance to be spent like this:
    50k to be spent on 1 Dirty Trick
    100k to be spent on bribe(s)
    150k that must be spent on player(s) with the Secret Weapon Skill (including Mercs with SW like Loonies and Deathrollers). You must spend as much of the 150k in this way as possible and you can also add other (normal) inducement cash to hire for instance a Merc Deathroller. Any spare cash after purchase may be spent as normal.
    âš¡ Note: Elves and Halfling teams, not having access to Secret Weapons, must instead spend this 150k on a combination of Cards/Apothecary/Babes/Chef
    âš¡ Take care getting the inducement buying phase right, but feel free to add of your own treasury and TV difference to buy inducements as well.
    âš¡ If mistakes are made during the inducement phase, you can have the game restarted by Fumbbl staff (support ticket).
Questions? Ask your neighborhood admin.

Note: For reasons too lengthy to delve into, the FFB inducement buying process does not allow awarding 1 bonus magic item to 12-game-entries only. Apologies. To make up for this, the number of prelim games (either 12 or 8 ) will serve as second tie-breaker after the 3 Swiss rounds.

Tie-breakers after 3 games:
1. TD diff + Cas diff
2. Number of prelim games (12 game entries are ahead of 8 game entries)
3. TD for
4. Cas for
5. Random


MAIN PRIZE
100,000 gold coins.
Gain the service of Master Blaster as long as team remain Champions.
A Permanent Secret Weapon of choice on player of choice* (no SW roll**).

* Master Blaster may not get Secret Weapon.
** The Referees in the Wastes respects the Thunderdome champions. The SW player will not be subject to bans.


SPECIAL PLAYERS
"The little one is called Master. He's the brains. He runs Underworld. The other one is Blaster. He's the muscle. Together they can be very powerful."

Yeah it does. Free 50k to spend on cards. You just need to trust those on <12 games not to take it. And trust Morg not to take a Dirty Trick. But Morg likes the loincloth so no worries on that count.

Don't you trust us B2k? Wink

Morg wants his golden ticket!
