[Weav]

@Burk, @Bosco and I are attending the Golden Tentacle tournament on May 11th, 2019 in Everett, Washington. I have one spot in my car available, who wants it?

Well I hear humans are a fun and exciting option... But I might also just bring dwarves and grumble when I get out-cas'd by pro elves again.

Where are the build details, for those of us that are too lazy to google?

1.1M team build, then 150k further for skills, max 40k upgrades/player, cannot take +ST or +AG, limit to two of the same upgrade per team (no 3x guard, etc.).

Unspent $ goes into the void and is lost, etc.

Points are different this year, a win is weighted heavily:

Tournament scoring is determined by Match Points + Player Points = Total Points. This means that Player Points are not used as a tie breaker, but instead are used to determine Total Points.

• A WIN is worth 60pts
• A DRAW is worth 30pts
• A LOSS is worth 10pts

• Touchdowns - Every Touchdown that you score earns +1 bonus pt
• Casualties - Every CAS against an opponent (including fouling, special weapons, or crowd pushes, eating a player) earns +1 bonus pt (but not failed dodges, gfis, thrown rocks, etc.)

 

So for me:

6 ogres

6 snotlings

Free Lewdgrip

2 RR

2 Block

1 Leader

1 Guard

2 Break tackle

BAM! let's go!

I initially wanted a team that would benefit from using Lewdgrip, but I’m not sure that matters...Khemri is about the only one that does, right?

I can't make a dwarf roster I like for this so I'm bringing humies. I'll noodle a list out later today.

 

OK, got a list I don't hate, feedback appreciated:

• Thrower
• Catcher
• Catcher w/block
• Blitzer w/ Guard
• Blitzer w/Tackle
• 2x Blitzer w/ Mighty Blow
• 5x Lineman
• Ogre w/Guard & Block
• 3x Reroll
• 1 Fan Factor

13 players (AV8 doesn't instill confidence and I've got two catchers as well), but I could drop the FF and a lineman and pick up a 3rd catcher instead.

I'm tempted to drop a MB and get a second tackle piece, but it's a waste against any team without dodge.

@Bosco I don't think you can have both block and guard on the Ogre. ( 30k + 20k = 50k )

Crud, you're right.

I may go to this, depends on wife's schedule and finishing painting a team.

[Bosco]

How about this:

• Thrower
• Catcher w/block
• Catcher w/block
• Blitzer w/Dodge
• Blitzer w/ Guard
• Blitzer w/Tackle, Mighty Blow
• Blitzer w/Dodge
• 4x Lineman
• Ogre
• 4x Reroll
• 1 Fan Factor

Three blodgers, tackle piece is my killer, heavy on rerolls because humans.
