I think Angie said earlier in chat that they will run as many tournaments as they have teams for.

The tournament start on the 16. Does that mean your team has to be under 150 by midnight on the 15th, or does that mean your team has to be under 150 before you play the first game. If not midnight on the 15th, then at what time is tourney bracket drawn.

Looks like the teams are in & being randomized for the draw right now. 192 teams total ranging from 150TR (111 teams) down to 132TR. So 6x Tours of 32 teams each.

Good luck everyone!

And back on topic, going to have a look through some of the teams now and see who's got the meanest TR150 team. Already seen some sick dwarves. Very happy with my chaos dwarves too.

Ok here's what I believe to be the nastiest, most overpowered TR 150 teams in the Tour:

Tide Of Iron, Undead, 150/172, neander
2 excellent wights, 2 well developed mummies and plenty of nice zombies including 2 DPs / 2 block / 2 guard. Wouldn't want to face them!

Spearmaidens, Amazon, 150/173, Anthalas
There are no less than NINE blodgers on this team, plus 4x guard and 2x MB. Dwarves/CDwarves are the only ones at this rating with enough tackle to even that out! May get ground down over the course of the 6 games with injuries though.

Centurian and a Half, Dwarf, 150/168, JoseBagg
No standout stars but instead every player is pleasingly good. Lots of guard, MB, 2 longbeards with +agi to give more scoring chances.

Holy Bible, Chaos, 150/156, PeteW
Nice stat increases and 2 claws + 2 DPs. 2x Agi 4 beastmen in particular may save them from chaos' usual fate at low ratings - an inability to handle the ball!

nice, nice, nice... dont have a team like this 4 and nothing special in it, but at least im happy to take place in it, cause i didnt figure out, that there are more then one fumbbl tour at the same time.

I thought it is only 1 of max 64 players.

Is it right, that there are now about 5 tours `a 32 teams? SSwweeeett

Staying on topic:
I went with an Amazon team I had some fun with and trimmed it down 12 TR, when I decided to join the tour. Of course I tried to get as many blodgers and guard as possible. I haven't got any tackle so I'm in serious trouble against other Amazons, however, mighty blow and kick may allow me to hold my own if I draw one of the multitude of Dwarfs and Chaos Dwarfs I expect to see in this tournament. I would have liked a dirty player but I'm not expecting to win the fouling war against Undead even if I had one. All in all i really think my first match will depend on the draw and the seeding.

Anyone know how matches are seeded? Will it be CR, TR, TS or time of application? Maybe even random?

Well to summarise the 192 teams sitting in the list awaiting the draw

18 Zon
7 Chaos
13 Chaos Dorf
12 Dark Elf
22 Dorf
2 Elf
2 Gobbo
1 Fling
1 High Elf
7 Human
11 Khemri
6 Lizardmen
16 Necro
4 Norse
2 Nurgles
4 Ogre
21 Orc
10 Skaven
24 Undead
3 Vamps
6 Wood Elf

Every race represented. Most are Undead, least are Flings and High Elf

Highest TS is at 150/173 (Anthalas) lowest is at 140/103(Robbo44).

Good Luck peeps. Hope everyones draw is nice to them

That's a good point about the cash to hire the count multiple times - makes melmoth's tour undead a force to be reckoned.
I still think neander's super strong (0 cash) undead team is more likely to win his Tour though. He'll have the cash for the count a few games in.
