The Lutèce Cup Challenge
Hi all!
The wait is almost over; the second online NAF tournament in our series will begin on Monday, 30th March. We begin our tour around the NAF world with a ruleset from a brilliant French league: The Lutèce Cup.
The rulespack for our tournament can be found here, here, or on the group page. A summary can be found below.
The Lutèce Cup tabletop tournament 2015 took place on the 21/22 March in Paris. You can find more details here and the home of the league here (in French). If you’re French, in France or just interested in great tabletop Blood Bowl, have a look!
Make your team via this link and apply to one of the below groups. The tournament will kick off at 21:00 GMT (22:00 server time) Monday, 30th March.
Coaches wishing to play in European timezones should apply here, North American timezones here, and Australasian timezones here.
The group page has a new FAQ section, and you can ask any questions below. Huge thanks to the Lutèce guys, I hope you’ll enjoy an online taste of their wonderful tournament!
Cheers!
Phil / Goo.

Great nws ! This one i'll try. But i'm not sure if i get it right :
"The Lutèce Cup tabletop tournament 2015 will take place on the 21/22 March in Paris."
So first there is the tabletop tournament then the online one ? |

Yes. The free ticket was a RTTNAFC thing; other free tickets may be available in the future, and if they are, I'll shout! This is simply an online tournament running the same rules as a TT one, and it seems only fair to give them plenty of (albeit short notice) advertising for the privilege. |

This is one of the best TT events, I hope everyone enjoys the online equivalent! |

Noob question alert: Do Star Players count as an inducement, or does it have to be a Babe, Bribe, Extra ReRoll, etc? |

Is it possible to use the teams from the first tournament with new skills? |

Dorfs with diving tackle deathroller + bribe seems only sensible choice imo! |

Excellent, I think I'm gonna run a Star. Not done that at a tournament before. Be good to test it out in this format. |

+1
I'd like to use the same team but with some new recruits/skills if that's possible. |

Let me look into that. I think at this point the answer is no, but bear with us. |

Just a reminder, applications will be going live tomorrow. All of the relevant links will be across this forum (and others), blogs, front pages... You won't be able to move for LCC information, enjoy the quiet whilst you can. |

Is this the sort of thing where only the first 40 get into the timezone of choice? More specifically, is there an entrance cap or can we wait and apply mid week without fear of getting cut out? |
