| ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT | ||||||||||||||||||
| Straight out of the streets of the Gem City, two Ogres have risen above the rest. Having played first hand in many of the local circuit tournaments across the country, these Ogres have put together a grand tournament for the 5th Year. They hope to pit the best Ogre Teams and “Other Races” coaches against one another for the coveted Ogre-hio Open Trophy. This tournament is a charity event for a fellow Blood Bowl coach that was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. All proceeds will be given to this coach and family to help with the increasing costs of treatment. Thank you in advance for your generosity! This one-day tournament on Saturday, March 26th, will feature 4 rounds of 2 hours each. To participate, it is essential that you make yourself available for the whole 8 hours.

| CREATING AND APPLYING A TEAM ROSTER | ||||||||||||||||||
| Before you create your team on Fumbbl, we highly suggest that you use an Excel sheet or one of the online helpers to create your team and make sure it adds up to the total amount. Find roster making tools on the NAF site. Once you have decided on your setup, generate a new team following all of the subsequent steps (do not reuse an existing team!): 1. Create a new team using this (This LINK Here!!) and choose your race and team name. Please add your desired start time (EU or NA) in brackets. E.g. [EU] Cherryville Croakers. 2. On the team page, there is no need to change ‘Progression’ from ‘Standard’ to ‘None’. 3. Buy all of your players, re-rolls, etc. and then click ‘submit for approval’. 4. On the following screen, select your skills. 5. When ‘Save’ is pressed to confirm your skill choices, there is no pop-up or conformation screen. You can check if your skills have saved correctly by navigating away from the screen and then checking ‘Team Options’ on your team page. You must select all skills before the start of the tournament and may not change them later. 6. NAF coaches must record their NAF nick and NAF number in the team bio section following team creation. This will help us in the future recording and ranking of online games. 7. Inducement(s) you wish to use should be left out of your team creation process and listed in the team bio. Inducements have to be announced before start of the tournament and may not be changed in-between matches! e.g.: at the beginning of a tournament match, select only your announced inducements, as you would normally by spending your remaining treasury as petty cash. 8. Navigate to the tournament team site and use the button at the bottom at the page to apply your team. Please view Strider’s youtube video if you need more details how to create a team. | ||||||||||||||||||
