savion47 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Ordo Bowl Spring Training Ordo Bowl will be hosting a Blood Bowl 7s tournament on November 7th. What is Blood Bowl 7s? I am glad you asked. Here is a link to the rules! They have been updated and modified slightly from the original Blood Bowl 7s document.Some changes I want to point out: Only 7 players Smaller pitch 2 Lines of Scrimmage! NO Re-Rolls Players have a chance of leaving your roster AND MORE! So why do you want to play in this event?1: It is a really fun way to play BB.2. This tournament will serve as a precursor to the 2016 BB league. All coaches will be starting fresh in 2016, but, as Blood Bowl 7s is considered a lower league of play, any players on your roster at the end of the tournament can be drafted to play on your 2016 team!!! Think of 7s as a farm league. You will have to pay for the players base cost + any skills they acquired during the tournament and it will have to be the same team.This will be a 5 game in 1 day event. I know, 5 games sounds like an insane number of games for a 1 day event, but the game was created for GW employees to play during a lunch break. Typical games I have play-tested last 45 minutes to 1 hour.Ticket Cost: (Not yet on sale) $10.00 Non-Champ $8.00 Champ POTLUCK THINGY RULES:Playing 5 games of Blood Bowl is a tiring affair (even if they are shorter). Having a potluck for everyone to munch on during the tournament is a great way to provide some much need refreshment. In fact, because I like eating more than Blood Bowl, there will be the "Master Chef Award". Bring your best dish to share and everyone will vote for their favorite dish at the end.Please announce the dish you are bringing in this thread so that we do not have 10 people bring coconut macaroons... because I hate coconut macaroons.Schedule: 8:30 - 9:00 Check-In 9:00 - 10:30 Round 1 10:45 - 12:15 Round 2 12:15 - 1:30 Lunch 1:30 - 3:00 Round 3 3:15 - 4:45 Round 4 5:00 - 6:30 Round 5 6:30 - 7:00 Awards Awards: Best Coach - coach with the best record. Harvester of Sorrow - Most Casualties Master Chef - best food item 7th - For the coach who came in 7th Quite a Looker - Most players drafted during the event.Well, Best Painted - Best Painted FAQ For the 7s tournament, all positionals will be divided in 1/2 rounded up. For Instance in a normal league Amazons have access to 4 Blitzers. For 7s Amazons can only have 2 Blitzers. Chaos Teams in a normal league have access to 1 Minotar, they will also have access to 1 Minotar in the 7s tournament. How do I pay? - Pay anytime you see me at Game Nights or day of the event. Paying early helps me out though. UPDATE - No Journeymen or Mercenaries can be hired.

Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Sounds cool will see if I can make it. How does one skill up in 5 games. The player you pick gains 1sp or more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burk Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 if i remember correctly after each game you get to give 1 player a roll: yep here is the rules: Star Player Points Players do not gain Star Player points in Blood Bowl Sevens. Instead, after every game, choose one player on your team rooster that took part in the match and roll a D6 and consult the Star Player Roll table as normal. This roll is made automatically and is the only manner in which a player can gain new skills. You must pick a player on your roster after each match you play and make a roll for them on the Star Player Roll table. You are not allowed to decline choosing a player and making the roll. You may pick a player that has already received a Star Player Roll (SPR) but the more skills a player receives, the greater the chance of them being noticed by a professional team and drafted into the professional Blood Bowl league (see The Draft below). Draft As players become more experienced there is a chance they will be noticed by a professional major league team. When this happens there is little a coach can do as their best player is poached on the promise of a huge salary, all the beer they can drink and a bevy of beautiful women. It is little wonder that not many players refuse such an offer. Every time you make a roll on the Star Player table you must make an additional roll to see if a professional Blood Bowl team has drafted the player in question. Roll 1D6 and consult the table below. SP Rolls Title Draft None Rookie None 1 Experienced 2+ 2 Veteran 3+ 3 Emerging Star 4+ 4 Star Player 5+ 5 Super Star 6+ 6 Mega Star Automatic If the score equals or beats the score shown on the Draft column then the player has not yet drawn the attention of a professional team and will continue playing for his Blood Bowl Sevens team. If the roll is less than the score required then the player is drafted into the professional Blood Bowl league and never seen by his Blood Bowl Sevens team again. You should remove the player from your Roster and adjust your Team Rating accordingly. If you have any questions please reach out the Ordo Bowl Commissioner savion47 on the Ordo Fanaticus forums (www.ordofanaticus.com). Understand that as a coach of a 7s team, you are far less important than an Ordo Bowl league coach and it may take some time to answer your questions. .

savion47 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Orc Team Example (though I may be running orcs) Blitzer - 80 Blitzer - 80 Black Orc - 80 Black Orc - 80 Troll - 110 Thrower - 70 Lineman - 50 Total = 550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 So, Minotaur - 70 2x Chaos Warrior - 100 4x Beastmen - 120 Total = 390 That seems really low. Did I calculate something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 So, Minotaur - 70 2x Chaos Warrior - 100 4x Beastmen - 120 Total = 390 That seems really low. Did I calculate something wrong? Math is way off. Mino = 150 Chaos warrior = 100 Chaos warrior = 100 Beast = 60 Beast = 60 Beast = 60 Beast = 60 Total for the roster = 590 (40 over the max) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savion47 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I could have sworn everything was half price. I don't now why. Huh. number of positionals you can take are halved. Costs are divided by 1,000 and a coach as 550 to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
