jollyork Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 DeTour: The DEconstructed TOURnament League Instead of normal league games, each round coaches will play one game using rules from a tournament. They will create a roster compliant with the tournament rules and play using any special rules the tournament describes. Coaches earn League Points for their team’s performance. Because of variability with each tournament ruleset, the DeTour League will use one standard set of scoring for all matches. You can find these full rules along with each tournament ruleset in this Google Doc. Schedule There will be six (6) rounds with the following tournament rules: Round 1 - USA: Touchdowns in Tacoma Rules Round 2 - ENGLAND: NAFC Championship Rules Round 3 - AUSTRALIA: Eucalyptus Bowl Rules Round 4 - CANADA: Spike! Rules Round 5 - USA: Chaos Cup Rules Round 6 - GLOBAL: 2023 NAF World Cup Rules League Points After each round League Points will be awarded: League Points (LP): Win: 3, Draw: 1, Loss: 0 Bonus Points (BP) will be awarded per the GW Matched Play Guide: Scoring 3+ TDs: 1, Conceding 0 TD: 1 BP, Inflicting 3+ CAS (for SPP): 1 BP Penalty: Noncompliant Roster: if a team’s roster is found to violate the rules of the tournament at any time, including after the game, it is Noncompliant and causes an automatic Concession to your opponent Concession: Your opponent Wins 2-0 with 2 CAS for and 0 against Lack of Skill Disks: counts as Noncompliant League Champion Total League Points (LP) will determine the final standings and League Champion. Bonus Points (BP) are used for tie-breakers. Skill Disks For the sake of clarity, Skill Disks are REQUIRED for all models that gain skills from tournament build rules. Each coach will receive 6 Skill Disks at the start of the season for free and should purchase more if necessary for their chosen team builds. Any model without an accurate Skill Disk does not count as having the skill in the match and makes a roster Noncompliant. Start Date and Calendar If we get enough registered coaches to make this interesting, let's aim for the week of May 20 for Round 1. We'll target playing 2 rounds every 3 weeks, though each round needs to completely finish (all games played) in order to seed the following round, so we'll be flexible if needed. Registration There is no cost to register and all you have to do is reply in this thread and include the skills you would like for your six free Skill Disks (for example, Block x2, Guard x2, Mighty Blow x2).

jollyork Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 Okay, we're good for locking down final details and talking schedule, but let's round up more of the usual suspects first: @savion47 @Teturact @kb10r @Rory @Swensos83 @MOONEY @Robdeezel @Frostitute @scotthartman @Taste @Amado @Giandroid Note that because this league is so flexible, you can play all 6 rounds if you want to compete to be Champion, or you can play only some of the rounds based on your schedule of summer fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthartman Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I could be up for this. More for practice with unfamiliar team than treating it like a league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwell Christian Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Gnomes , 3 dodge skill bands 2 guard 1 sneaky git. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Trainer Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 This means just 6 games, not 6 full tournaments? Might be interested, not sure how to read the rules/team building. Also concerned about availability for a couple weeks in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttackCowboy Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Okay, I think I've got my roster for the first round set. For discs, I was thinking I'd pick up a few extras for future rounds while i'm at it and go with: 3xBlock 3xDodge 2xSneaky Git 2xGuard 1xKick 1xTackle 1xStrip ball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotthartman Posted Thursday at 02:32 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:32 AM I'll do Strip ball, Wrestle, Tackle, Block, and 2 Guard. If I can get 2 more Block that would be ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyork Posted Thursday at 02:51 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:51 AM @Dark Trainer schedule shouldn't be a problem because the league is designed to be as flexible as possible. We'll make the matchups for each round as we go, so if you go on vacation in July we'll adjust the matchups. I will be a mercenary coach for whenever we have an odd number of coaches. So you wanna join us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyork Posted Thursday at 02:52 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:52 AM Thanks for the Skill Disk lists from you guys. I'll get to work on determining a set Kickoff date for round 1. It's gonna be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll officially start the week after to give a little bit more prep time and get past Memorial Day. But feel free to get a pre-season practice game in!

jollyork Posted Thursday at 08:50 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:50 PM Still need Skill Disk lists from: @Weav, @schuurthing, @savion47, and (hopefully) @Dark Trainer Note that @AttackCowboy did a great job of listing out additional SDs he would like beyond the first 6 free ones. I'll bring everyone's entire orders on our first league night (or before if we rendezvous next week). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the rules doc: Quote All teams have a value of TV 118 - TV 135. i.e.1,180,000 and 1,350,000 GPs to spend The gold can be spent on any combination of players, inducements and skills as allowed by the Ruleset. NOTE: We are NOT using the full Prayers to Nuffle table (the one used in league play, pg 39 of the BB2020 rulebook), We WILL use the abbreviated Prayers to Nuffle table for those Kick-off events that refer to rolling on the Prayers to Nuffle table (pg 103 of the rule book). All teams must start with at least 11 players (this can include star players) You must spend all your cash, or discard unspent funds. You cannot keep unspent funds in your treasury and spend it later. Unless you spend GPs on them your Dedicated fans will be considered 0 for your team. I'm not totally clear on the variable Team Value rules they use, but will figure it out before we get to this round. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyork Posted 22 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 22 hours ago 💫 ALERT 💫 Kickoff of the DeTour League will be Tuesday, May 28 at WOW. I will post Round 1 matchups this week. We are targeting 2 rounds every 3 weeks, but honestly will be very flexible with that due to summer schedules and maximum fun! I will bring Skill Disks with me tomorrow night and can drop off at WOW for anyone who wants them there. I will also bring them to the Kickoff next week (and I'll bring superglue for assembly 😉). Let me know any questions or details you're wondering about. Please remember that this league has only a few rules but they are strictly enforced: rosters compliant with tournament rules and using correct Skill Disks. Everything else leagues usually worry about is optional, like proxy models, painting, etc. We're deliberately encouraging coaches to experiment with new teams, new builds, and new strategies. That's why the Skill Disks are critical for clarity to your opponents. Let's get ready to rumble! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giandroid Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago In, you've all seen my skill disks and hopefully mine will be compliant with the ones used for this league (which I think I designed?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
