Do you like goblins? Do you like fouling downed opponents? Then Blingtoof’s Gitbash is the tournament for you! The Gitbash is a goblin-themed Blood Bowl tournament taking place in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on Saturday, November 2nd. This year, the Gitbash is a one-day, four game tournament that is taking place at Hammercon, a fantastic annual game convention at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Hamilton. Participation in the tournament is free with paid admission to the convention (a Saturday-only pass will run you $25 if you pre-register today) and all tournament attendees are also invited to the Blingtoof After-Party which will be held in a suite at the convention.
The tournament is a resurrection-style event with an 1140TV with a skill pack. Why the wonky starting TV, you may ask. Well, this is a goblin-themed tournament, after all, so every team must come to the pitch with at least one Goblin on its roster! Goblins cost 40K so it only seemed fair to subsidize that amount. The Blingtoof’s Gitbash website at www.blingtoof.com has the full rules but, essentially, each team that doesn’t already have Goblins on its list of available players may purchase 1-16 standard Goblins for their roster. Furthermore, teams without at least three goblins on the roster can’t give Big Guys upgrades other than normal skills! The other important aspect of the tournament is that fouling is practically mandatory and the second-highest prestige award at the event goes to the coach whose team does the most fouling.
Space is limited as we’re taking up space at a convention so please register today at the Hammercon website at www.hammercon.ca. Come on out and put the boots to your downed opponents and hear the lamentations of their women (which you can then put the boots to).
