On certain mornings, as the first rays of light radiate from the dawning sun, a long white cloud can be glimpsed in the distance over the rippled blue waters of the coast of the Southern Wastes. Tormented by the stifling heat and relentless dry winds turning their skin to leather, the Blood Bowl tragics are contemplating an off season going to seed and withering like weeds under a good dose of ‘Roundup”.
Then one day in late December a voice is heard drifting over the waves.
“Cricky dick! Bro, stop stuffing ya face with greasies and come here. Can’t be sure based on the togs, but there is some pakeha cuz over other side.”
“Sheez Bro, you ain’t wrong.”
“Now that Chrissy is done, you think that they might be wanting a tiki tour over here and play some Bloodbowl?”
The sun-addled brains absorbed the word ‘Bloodbowl’, triggering an involuntary response. Before you could say, “couldn't see the road to the dunny if it had red flags on it”, all the blokes and mates got a into g, grabbed their gummies went sailing of to Aotearoa to find Waikikamukau and play Bloodbowl in cooler climes.
“Sweet as. Hey bro, rattle your dags and make sure the chilly bin is chocka with L&P, get your nana to jack up some savs and pavs and don’t forget the chocolate fish from the dairy. This going be a piss up large so better make sure that zambuck is around in case some dag carks it”
The Waikikamukau Bloodbowl Festival.
Rules.
Open to all SWL teams new and old, not currently playing in SWL proper. No TV limit and no age limit so whether you are a LRB4 legendary team or a CRP rookie you are welcome.
Format. Swiss chess scheduled rounds with seeding based on TV. Basically the meaner and nastier you are the more likely you will play together for the first couple of rounds.
The festival will use the optional rules for Claw, Piling On, Right Stuff and Sneaky Git. So any dirty fouling ‘flings and more than welcome to come and put the boot in.
The festival management have done a great deal with the local wizarding guild and got them to sponsor each game with some special items. This is pot luck, but every team will receive 100 gold to spend with the guild before each game.
Prizes to be determined, but as with all festivals, everyone is a winner.
Sign up here, post here and lets have a great off season blast before SWL starts afresh in 2015
The aim is to kick off from Boxing Day!! |

What's the timeframe? I'm O/S early Jan, but would be keen for some BB action between Boxing Day and early New Year. |

How long are the rounds? I am interested in this but if it is a super speedy tournament then not sure if I can.
If I do I feel like bringing some Ogres! Or some HElfs... |

Dr Poods. That is a loaded question.
It depends on how many sign up as to how many rounds.
Ideally I would like everything completed within 4 weeks. Which is quickish.
So maybe one round per week. Maybe two.
Let's see who signs up. |

I can't apply any teams. The drop-down box gives me no options to select.
Am I doing it wrong? |

I believe you can only apply Readied teams. |

Or you can ask me to invite you. You don't need to be readied then. |

rules.
Claw does not stack with other skills that modify armour rolls
Right Stuff negates tackle when blocked.
Piling On does not stack with other skills that modify armour or injury rolls.
Piling On player is knocked out when rolling a double on armour or injury rolls.
Piling On is only rerollable on the armour roll not the injury.
Sneaky Git functions like Guard on foul assists.
Banned sneaky git players are sent to the KO box instead.
Fouling is +1 |
