Welcome to the Ordo Bowl II: Southstorm Slaughter resources thread. In this thread I will post regular updates and links to important documentation. If you want to follow the progress, please post a reply and activate the 'Notify me of replies' toggle on the lower left of your reply window. 

First, here are the different areas you can access for Ordo Bowl II: Southstorm Slaughter information:

Second, you want rules! In addition to being posted at https://southstormslaughter.splashthat.com/, they can be found here:

Ordo Bowl II: Southstorm Slaughter is a two-day, resurrection style Blood Bowl tournament, swiss style. First games will be determined randomly, with the remaining games determined based on tournament points. For the first round only, we will do our best to pair players off against members that are outside of their home club. The tournament will run six total matches, with four games on Saturday, and two on Sunday.

What to bring:

Painted and based team with suitable models; a fully painted and based team is mandatory. Bringing an incomplete team will disqualify you from any and all awards, including the Ordo Bowl II championship. It's easy; bring a painted team! You are not required to paint your own team, just bring a painted and based team to play with.


Skill rings or another appropriate way to identify skills/positions (mandatory)
Block dice

Skill Packs; choose one of the following
packs for your team for the entirety of the event; you may only give a player one skill in addition to what they already are equipped with, and no skill may be acquired via skill pack more than twice (i..e., if you are playing dwarfs several players come with tackle, but you can still use your preferred skill pack to apply tackle to one or two players that do not start with that skill):
A) Six normal skills
B) Four normal & 1 double skill(s)
C) Two normal and Two double skills


Tournament Scoring:

Win: three points
Loss: zero points
Tie: one points


Tie-breakers: The first tie-breaker will be head to head record; the second tie-breaker winning percentage (victories divided by total games); the final tie-breaker will be Favorite Opponent voting, with preference given to the player with the most Favorite Opponent pins at the end of the event


Stunty Cup:
Stunty teams will play for their own cup while still participating in the main tournament
Stunty teams include Goblins, Halflings, Lizardman (only when team build is all Skinks or plus a Kroxigor), Ogres and Underworld teams (without Skaven players).
Star players can be added to a stunty team without disqualifying them from the Stunty Cup.

The top two Stunty teams will be matched up in round six, and the winner will be the Stunty Cup champion, regardless of tournament points.

⭐⭐⭐Did you know...?
...that the Southstorm Squids’ star player Sara Von Squid began her Blood Bowl career as a Cabal Vision camera operator? In the Squids’ first game with human players, a Southstorm player blocked an Oldheim Ogre player into the crowd, destroying Sara’s camera! The resulting brutality unleashed by the young woman gained the attention of Squids’ owner Brixton Murmader. Von Squid’s ferociousness took over, and she was soon wearing that Ogre’s smile as a necklace! Murmader signed her to her first NAF contract on the spot. Just a few years later, Sara is the Squids’ best player, leading casualty inflictor, and spirit squad coordinator.

Did you know...?
...that when the Southstorm Squids fans want to change the run of play, they perform ‘the wave’? Not the same synchronized wave made famous by Lustrian fans at the Würld Cup 2486, the Squids wave actually affects the pitch! That’s right, as the thousands of fans hop and jump in unison, the Southstorm Schooner Stadium starts to rock, giving the Squids an unusual advantage. In the 2508 playoff semifinal versus the World’s Edge Wanderers, the combined force of the wave caused the Southstorm harbor to flood the Schooner’s deck with two meters of water! The result was terror for the Dwarfs, as their many secret weapons were ruined by the saltwater attack, and several of their players were washed into the sea.

Did you know...?
...that the Squids were fined by the NAF 10,000 gold pieces and had to forfeit a game versus the Orcland Raiders for an illegal play? Back when the Southstorm pitch was submerged, the Squids were struggling to find league success. Prior to the game versus Orcland, the Squids' coach Jun Grouperden devised a play so sneaky, even a Goblin team would be impressed. Down by one with little time remaining, Squids' linefish Gil Barnacleface placed the ball in a spiky blowfish, who then began swimming to the end zone. As Raiders' players approached, the blowfish would expand, impaling Orc after Orc before finally crossing the line for a touchdown. However, the NAF quickly punished the Squids...why? Twelfth player? Secret weapon(s)? Nope, the NAF and Orcland took exception to the blowfish's age! NAF rules at the time stated a minimum player age of five years old, and the blowfish was only spawned weeks earlier. Nevertheless, the Squids' infamous Blow Bowl play has gone down in history.

Did you know...?

...that like most teams, the Southstorm Squids have an arch rival team? In the Squids case, it is former division rival Creeveland Crescents. These ‘derbys’ featured brutal game days, with each team doing what ever it takes to gain an advantage...even poisoning? The Crescents lost horribly in 2486 to the Squids, in the now infamous ‘Chowder Gate’ controversy. Creeveland where one win away from a playoff spot, and faced their rivals the Squids at the Southstorm Schooner Stadium. Creeveland ordered the local delicacy, Black Gulf chowder from a Squids’ recommended Halfling chef. Before the game, the entire Crescents team, including star Hoshi Komi, fell ill and couldn’t play the game. Two Creeveland Linemen even died! To this day, Creeveland claim Southstorm were responsible for their poisoning, as Squids owner Brixton Murmader couldn’t stand to see the Crescents in the playoffs. The NAF investigation was suspiciously brief, and Murmader and commissioner Nick Three-Horn were seen on holiday together in Tilea just a week later.

1 hour ago, Gentleman Dingo said:

What are the winning qualifications? (i.e. overall beast record day1, day2, both days, most casualties, most TDs, etc) 

Are there any prizes?

Here you go; each one of these awards comes with a functional trophy:

Did you know...?

…that the most prolific Squids’ offense ever was during the 2479 season, where they scored an amazing 53 touchdowns!  Over the sixteen game NAF season, Southstorm averaged a league leading 3.3 touchdowns per game. The amazing scoring display was attributed to a number of factors, from amazing thrower Kurt Waters, Blitzer Marshall Fillet, even the acrobatic catching of Trawl Hook…however, most pundits will tell you it was the work of coach Jig Fisher. Fisher was a master offensive strategist. Once he assembled the team, they put up impressive numbers that led the Squids to be called “The Greatest Show on Surf!”
