Logo is cool!

The website says 2nd and 4th. Does that mean we play on Friday and Sunday and get the Saturday off?!

[Pipey]

Looks like 2nd to 4th. Games on Friday? Or just the opening meet and greet?

This presentation from the Polish BB forum (bloodbowl.pl) confirms it:

Looks pretty good. Did we get this at NAFWC?

Location is Warsaw. They also appear to be discussing rules but don't know whether that's confirmed.

I believe it was to be delivered at WC but then the meeting fell to the logistical problems.

Is that Google doc going to make it to the EuroBowl site soon? I assume they have access to edit it.

They do, and I imagine so.

[cornish]

Presumably Friday the 2nd is just for registration? Games on Sat 3rd and Sun 4th only?

From Facebook :

Eurobowl and Europen are both played with the Competton Rules Pack with the NAF tournament changes in line with Blood Bowl 2016, Death Zone 1 & 2. Things may change throughout the year and we reserve the right to update these rules in line with the NAFs decision. Once the deadline for registraton has passed the rules will be locked in place. Each coach in a team must play a diferent race. Only one coach per team may take Halfings for example. We play according to the resurrecton style of play. All coaches start each game with the same roster and skills they registered before the tournament.

Some interesting tiering, which will increase variance somewhat. High and pro elves in tier 4 is interesting, and you can guarantee some crazy euros bringing underworld from tier 5.

Hmmm. Not great for the purists.

[lunchmoney]

Unlikely to see many Stunty teams with only 1 star allowed (in EO, obviously, as you won't see any in EB )

[straume]

Hmmm. Not great for the purists.

Well....the Top4 (UD, Liz, WE, DE) are all in there as great picks. The next 4 is a bit more hard to predict. And Necro seems a bit less useful than normal.

#Prayforpurists. I agree this is going to cause more variance than is usual at the big one.

A tough old year to be captain. Looking forward to hearing some views on what route candidates would take come election time!

(I do think these rules will help the format of the EO. Probably a step forward there.)

Interesting point. How would you feel about there being two rulesets? One for the EO, and then a more traditional one for the EB main event.

(just curious tbh )

[Purplegoo]

I think that would be very sensible! They are two different tournaments with different formats. It would make sense to me to optimise for each. I don’t think it would diminish the EO if it had a different ruleset to the EB.
