Wheel of Chaos VII has finally arrived

It is time to get ready for the Second major of the Box schedule. What makes the WoC so special is that there are four qualifier groups, with different mutations on the line for the winner of the WoC.

Choose your qualifier carefully or just randomly choose one and embrace the chaos.

Qualifier Groups

Khorne Winner gets Horns

Tzeentch Winner gets Two Heads

Nurgle Winner gets Tentacles

Slaneesh Winner gets Disturbing Pressence

Which Group should I go for? Well the meta of the WoC is that some teams look at the reward and decide that if they should win that mutation would be a nice buff on their team. So some coaches lean towards Horns or tentacles, Khorne and Nurgle.
But
Is it possible not many teams will want disturbing pressence? That qualifier might be a easier path to the main draw.

Also the Champions group could be composed of just 4 teams. You only need to win 2 matches to make the main draw. The Favored group could have up to 16 teams and thus needing 4 matches to make the main draw. So the TV dynamic is also at play.

Now I subscribe to the Chaos theory. No need to worry about the meta to much. Just roll one of your FUMBBL die you picked up in the charity event 2 years ago, give it a good shake and let the roll of the die determine your fate. If by some chance you do not have FUMBBL dice, using your stock Blood Bowl dice are recommended. Using a die made by Chessex is a sure fire way to see you exit in the opening round of the WoC. If by some chance your brain goes on the fritz and you use a combo of dice and put this in a dice rolling tower, well, no need for you to apply, you are way over thinking the chaos theory and thus are doomed to have awful dice in the opening round.


The WoC is one of the most unique tournaments on FUMBBL and is a lot of fun to participate in. So get a Box team applied to one of the qualifier groups and have some fun. Hey you never know, you could make the main draw and have a chance at greatness.



YOU MAY APPLY TO ONE QUALIFIER GROUP ONLY

There will be 2 qualifiers. One will decide the 'Champion' for that Group, and the other the 'Favoured'.

They will be drawn as follows:

For the first qualifier a D6 dice is rolled. On a 1 the qualifier has only 4 slots for teams, on a 2,3 or 4 the qualifier has 8 slots, and on a 5 or 6 it has 16 slots.

This first qualifier will be filled as fully as possible with the highest TV teams that have applied to that group. The winner of this Qualifiers will be declared 'Champion' and will qualify for only 1 random mutation if they win the Wheel Of Chaos finals.

The second qualifier in each group will be of 16 teams maximum. If less than that are available, all will be allocated places. If more than 16 have applied and qualify, the highest 16 by TV will get places. The winner of this qualifier will be declared 'Favoured' and be allowed 2 rolls for random mutations if they win the Wheel Of Chaos finals.

All Wheel Of Chaos Qualifiers and finals will feature the 'King of the Hill' draw format'

Well if the Blood Sea Buccaneers B side crew does not get bumped from the Brawl it looks like my Dark Sea Raiders will once again show up in a major and give it a shot.

They are dark elves who look like wood elves right now. They are a walking M.A.S.H. unit at the moment.

On the tourney page it says the qualifier groups are sorted by TV, is that correct or is it actually TW? My Elves are 1700k TV but 1940k TW thanks to MNG and I'm really dreading that "just one" game before the Major to get the MNG back... so contemplating throwing them in as they are!

Well the question about TV VS TW will need a tournament Admin to sort.

BUT

You dread activating with a few days left to get back the MNG. Yet, are fine and show no dread showing up into a major with MNG on the team which might cost you the opening round match?

interesting.

Are you that afraid to hit YES, activate?

Based on what happens with the Buccaneers on Monday the Dark Sea Raiders will be activating to get back their one MNG and get some gold to replenish the Blitzer core back to 4 and a 16 man Elf Squad.

@ EA: Thanks for the clarification, I thought as much.

@ PS: You know as well as I do that if you play "just one" game, close to the draw of a Major with no chance of another one, in the Box, you are invariably going to draw some heavyweight Chaos Dwarves with your Elves. It is known. Wink

I should have kicked your team...however, there were no extra teams in Nurgle qualifier - so your game is forfeited - same as if I had kicked you.

Altdorf Book and Casino Pickers Challenge

Here we go FUMBBL fans, addictied gamblers and guys betting their last gold coin for riches and fame.

Wheel of Chaos pickers challenge

Here is how it is going to work.

We have 4 qualifier groups, each group has a champion and favored group.

So, 8 groups of picks shall be made. Now due to the chaotic nature of the tournament all the 8 groups will not have the same # of picks and the rewards and speculation bets will all be, well, chaotic.

You will need to post your picks for who will win the qualifier group. Some groups you will be allowed 2 picks and some groups only 1.

Make you picks!!!!

Khorne

Pick the winner of the Champion group.

Make 2 Picks for the Favored group.

IF you pick the winner of the Champion group you get 10pts

If you pick the winner of the Favored group you get 10pts
If you pick the runner up of the Favored group you get 5pts.

Speculation bet of Khorne.

How many KILLS/RIPS will happen in the Champions Group? (12pts)


Tzeentch

Pick the winner of the Champion Group: 10pts
Pick the runner up of the Chamion Group: 5pts

Pick the winner of the Favored Group: 7 pts

Speculation Bet: How many of the Champions Group matches will go into Over Time?: 15pts


NURGLE

Pick the winner of the Champions group: 10pts
Pick the runner up of the Champions group: 5pts

Pick the winner of the Favored group: 10pts

Speculation Bet: How many total Fouls will be layed out in the Favored group? 10pts

Slaaanesh

Pick the winner of the Champions group: 10pts
Pick the winner of the Favored group: 10pts
Pick the runner up of the Favored group: 5pts

Speculation bet
How many Completed passes will happen in the Favored Group? (20pts)


Scoring

IF your runner up qualifier group winner wins the group that pick will get the points as if it was a "pick" to win the group.

The groups you get to make two picks, the idea is to pick the two teams from the top group and bottom group to meet in the finals to get the maximum points of 15 pts.

So, groups you get 2 picks for, if your pick wins the group you get 10 pts. If one of your two picks is runner up, you get 5 pts.

Got it? Good.



Copy the entry card, fill in the blanks and then post to lock in your picks.

Once the qualification is completed we will then have a main draw pickers challenge to seperate the real "pickers" from the "luckers".
