Tournaments: FF or RR?

Hello...
For the typical tournament, what do you think is more important: Fan Factor or Re-Rolls?
(by typical tourney I mean winning is most important, but casualties provide extra points as well)

Sorry don't know what happened there. I was about to write that I am not an experienced tourney player and that this was a guess.

If you got typical 1 skill per game and all injuries healed after match progression then rr, otherwice it's a bit trickier.

Rerolls.
Most coaches will go in with a low Fanfactor so it won't affect you too much also having a low one. Untill you meet up with a khmeri or Goblin team, or heaven forbid a halfling team.

Yes I agree: RR.
It depends on the team you're playing but try to take at least 3 RR.

Hi Odo,
well, if you aren't good at playing Blood Bowl you could try for the high FF.
With luck you could get some of the game deciding kick-off results and win on that account.

Otherwize I'd have to say RR.
Cheers
Martin

I wonder if I should have taken FF instead at the Lutèce Bowl when we both won Get The Ref... because of your Dirty Player...

Maybe you should have.
So next tournament we both will take part we should talk about our FF before we build our teams... just in case we will play there again

I've just played in the XLlll BloodBowl and finished 35th (at least until they redo the results!). I took 10 wood elves, a treeman, a FF5 and no rerolls.

I think rerolls are overrated - I use so many skills each turn (leap, dodge, GFI that one reroll wouldn't really have been worth it and that was realistically all I could afford. Looking back, I would have needed about 6 to keep me happy, and even then I'd have failed something sooner or later.

Also, there's nothing as disappointing as using a reroll and getting the same result!

During the tourney I won 2 free rerolls because of my high FF, threw a rock and won a pitch invasion. I also drew a pitch invasion against someone who also had FF5.

So in conclusion, I would say only go for rerolls if you can afford 3. Otherwise, use the money on better players or high FF.

rerolls. I finished 6th and had 3... and a FF of 1 which only hurt me in one game (against Thadrin).

RR - for one very good reason: with ff, you don't have any control of when to use it, i.e. you need to hope for luck for your ff to be useful.
On the other hands, you cand decide when and where to use your rerolls.
