On certain mornings, as the first rays of light radiate from the dawning sun, a long white cloud can be glimpsed in the distance over the rippled blue waters off the coast of the Southern Wastes. Tormented by the stifling heat and relentless dry winds turning their skin to leather, the Blood Bowl tragics are contemplating an off season going to seed and withering like weeds under a good dose of ‘Roundupâ€.
Then one day in late December a voice is heard drifting over the waves.
“Cricky dick! Bro, stop stuffing ya face with greasies and come here. Can’t be sure based on the togs, but there is some pakeha cuz over other side.â€
“Sheez Bro, you ain’t wrong.â€
“Now that Chrissy is done, you think that they might be wanting a tiki tour over here and play some Bloodbowl?â€
The sun-addled brains absorbed the word ‘Bloodbowl’, triggering an involuntary response. Before you could say, “couldn't see the road to the dunny if it had red flags on itâ€, all the blokes and mates got a into g, grabbed their gummies went sailing of to Aotearoa to find Waikikamukau and play Bloodbowl in cooler climes.
“Sweet as. Hey bro, rattle your dags and make sure the chilly bin is chocka with L&P, get your nana to jack up some savs and pavs and don’t forget the chocolate fish from the dairy. This going be a piss up large so better make sure that zambuck is around in case some dag carks itâ€
The Waikikamukau Bloodbowl Festival.
Rules.
Open to all SWL Fringe teams new and old. DIBBL teams are also invited to join. No TV limit and no age limit so whether you are a LRB4 legendary team or a CRP rookie you are welcome (custom ruleset BB16 SWL teams need not apply).
Format. Swiss chess scheduled rounds, random seeding, and overtime to avoid draws.
The festival will use some the optional rules for Claw (does not stack with Mighty Blow), Piling On (allowed if you have it, requires a team rr to use), Right Stuff (tackle doesn't work on a block, but will if you try to dodge away).
No use of the time out button and you can have any race you like (including Simyin, Bretts, Khorne!)
The festival management have done a great deal with the local wizarding guild and got them to sponsor each game with some special items. This is pot luck, but every team will receive 100 gold to spend with the guild on CARDS before each game.
Prizes to be determined, but as with all festivals, everyone is a winner.
Sign up to Fringe here, nominate your team on this thread and lets have a great off season blast before SWL wakes up from its Summer Holiday Slumber.

a few more things:
- I did NOT write that fluff. It's all poley's "good" work.
- DIBBL teams, you get a free pass from the Leeg for this one.
- Unlike last time, OT is not on from the start. Draws mean you're not necessarily out if you don't win the first round. Makes it more interesting. OT might get switched on in the last round if it makes the champion a certainty. 4 or 5 rounds depending on number of entries.
- It's Swiss. This means you'd be holding up the whole tournament if you miss the weekly deadline. It's not possible to play ahead in Swiss. Please be considerate and try to get your game done in good time, the Axe will be brutal. |

"The festival will use all the optional rules for Claw, Piling On, Right Stuff and Sneaky Git. So any dirty fouling ‘flings are more than welcome to come and put the boot in. "
Can we get some clarity on these changes please? |

yep, that was a lazy cut and paste sorry:
Claw does not stack with Mighty Blow
Piling On (change) - will use the new GW option. i.e team rr required
Sneaky Git option is buggy - removed
Right Stuff - option is Tackle won't work on a block, but will on a dodge away
sentence replaced with:

The Wranglers withdraw after they receive a hefty bribe.
In totally unrelated news, the OMG will be making an appearance in this festival! |

After a bit of contemplating and polishing all those trophies, Squishy and Breakable will participate in this years festival.
Their cabinet is filled with the prestigious wobbly boot and two DIBBL leeg cups. |
