Border Princes Bash - 7s League - League Night #1

[jollyork]

Get your game faces on, tomorrow is opening day for the Border Princes Bash! Remember, the league has an open schedule: you can play any other coach at any time starting tomorrow. Of course, we will be hosting official League Nights at the Ordo clubhouse in Portland and hope you can make it for some carnage and  mayhem. Feel free to schedule some matchups in this thread so you can arrive and get right to playin'. I plan on getting there early to get the AC pumping and have the doors open by 5pm. 

Our first official League Night special event is:  

Opening Night 

The stadium gates are thrown open to let the surging masses in. This is by far the biggest night for fans to attend, as they are intoxicated with more than Bugman's Special Brew, they are filled with hope! The allure of a great season filled with great plays made by great(ish) players is untarnished and gleaming with potential. 

Each team gets +2 Dedicated Fans for each game played during Opening Night. Additionally, if the team's coach brings a painted Cheerleader model, the team gets an additional +1 Dedicated Fans (for a total of +3) and a Cheerleader inducement to use for each game!

Dave is the guy that fills up two plates at a buffet before even sitting down.

I'll be one of your plates. 😆

Pretty sure all of my games will be quick - or at least "over" quickly as the Little Ones get mushed by all these Bash teams. I'll be down for as many beatings as we can make happen.

If you're looking for a quick way to print your roster for tonight, follow these steps: 

1. Open your roster tab in the roster sheet
2. Select the range of cells for your roster (click and drag) - most rosters will be A1:N20 (or so) 
3. Click the Print icon in the shortcut bar
4. On the right side of the Print Dialog, change the Print option to "Selected cells" 
5. Click NEXT to get a perfect letter-size roster to send to your printer

Except for our knock-down, drag-out brawl, obviously

I forgot to print out my roster before leaving for work this morning..  If anyone has a spare piece of paper or two I could pay you back next time if you could hook me up tonight.

I earned enough in 2 games that I'm diving deep on my 4th non-lineman player, Death Roller it is. Prepare!

You inspire me.

Thanks for a great turnout last night! Eight coaches threw down for a total of 7 games (ha!) with lots of thrills and classic BB moments (scotthartman's dwarfs rolling a 1 on a goal line Rush on BOTH turn 6 and turn 12!). The results from that night are now posted in the new Skills Draft thread, along with the draft order. 

⭐ ROSTER UDPATES ⭐
Remember, you have to manually update your roster with changes to players (eg, deaths!), new skills, new money, and new Team Value (and CTV). Be sure to get that done prior to your next match - which can be at any time since we have an open schedule. 

⭐ RULES UPDATES ⭐
Some rules clarifications that came up during games. (these will also be added to the League Rules post) 

TOUCHBACKS
The Sevens rules are unclear about what counts as a Touchback. For our league, any kick-off that lands on the pitch and not behind the kicking coach's Line of Scrimmage is a fair kick, any other result is a Touchback. 

POST-GAME SEQUENCE
The Sevens rules describe the sequence for Player Advancement and The Draft correctly, but are listed in the rules in the wrong order, which is confusing. During the Post-Game, coaches roll for The Draft first, then conduct Player Advancement rolls, so that a player who earns a new skill is NOT eligible for the The Draft until after their next game. 

⭐ NEXT LEAGUE NIGHT ⭐
Our next official League Night is Tuesday, July 6 at the Ordo clubhouse. The theme is listed below so you can get started on painting your mascot model. 

Mascot Night - The stitching is fresh and the outfits are zany, ready for their debut in front of the crowd. Each team gets a free Mascot Inducement (DZ page 39) for each game. Additionally, if the coach brings a painted Mascot model, the team gets two (2) Mascots for each game!
