Introducing…
GOLDEN GAUNTLET UK
A brand new tournament series for the whole of UK Blood Bowl. Golden Gauntlet UK is here!
See NAF information about Tournament Series on the site.
All UK NAF coaches are eligible to score GGUK points at every UK NAF tournament which qualifies to award a NAF trophy as per NAF guidelines. In addition, a set of ten established and well attended tournaments will award double points in all categories. These ten tournaments are the Classics.
Nine of the Classics are a fixed set of well-established and well attended events, distributed around the UK to represent the different tournament playing regions. These are divided as follows: three southern English, three northern English, one English midlands, one Welsh and one Scottish. In addition, the 10th Classic is a Wildcard, typically a smaller tournament chosen each year by the NAF Tournament Coordinators group.
The GGUK Classics are as follows…
Southern England:
-Albion Coast Cup
-Gert Bowl
-Thrudball
English Midlands:
-The NAF Championship
Northern England:
-Monkeybowl
-UK Team Challenge
-Waterbowl
Scotland:
-Burger Bowl
Wales:
-Welsh Open
2015/16 Wildcard:
-Geordie Bowl
Points scoring is cumulative; there is no limit to the number of tournaments coaches can score in. The intention is to award pure gaming results but also other aspects of the wider hobby which are traditionally recognised at tournaments, as follows:
-1st place 25 pts
-2nd place 18 pts
-3rd place 15 pts
-4th place 12 pts
-5th place 10 pts
-6th place 8 pts
-7th place 6 pts
-8th place 4 pts
-9th place 2 pts
-10th place 1 pt
-Best Painted Team or Stunty Cup win 10 pts
-Most Touchdowns or Most Casualties win 5 pts
-All scores in all categories at a Classic tournament are doubled
GGUK will start after NAFC 2015 with Cake Bowl V set to be the first scoring tournament on the first weekend of June. The highest points scorer at the end of the year will be awarded a Golden Gauntlet trophy and a suitable prize (both of which I hope to procure by then!) at NAFC 2016.
Here’s hoping people will find this fun!
