The DeathCup League will be starting on Dec 9th, sorry for the late response in alerting people to this but I have had things going on.
The DeathCup League will run for 12 Weeks. With the start of a new week on Sunday obviously.
The Deathcup Commissioner will be Stephen Riley, Lykosan on the Forum Boards.
The finals for the League will run the following Saturday or Sunday depending on what is best for the 4 Teams that have made it there.
The rule set that will be used is the Blood Bowl Competition Rules that can be found here:
http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2350017a_m780049a_Blood_Bowl_Competition_Rules.pdfThe following additional Teams are allowed to be used:
http://www.orclahomabowl.com/documents/New_Teams.pdfYou will have 1,000,000 gold to buy your team with the following exception: DO NOT BUY FAN FACTOR. Every Team will start with a Fan Factor of 5 and it will go up or down per the normal rules of the game but it will not count towards your Team Value. All Team Rosters will be kept at the Store in a Binder that I will provide. Along with these Rosters will be provided Result sheets to track your Win Lose records.
As for actual models to be used: No you do not have to have actual BloodBowl Models to play in this league. the models you do use must be Numbered in some way. The models that represent different positions must make it clear it is actually a different position: A Human Catcher and a Human Blitzer should not have the same model. That is the only modeling rule I have for this League.
Sudden Death will be used for each game played.
Each Team will be allowed to play up to 2 games against each opponent each week that will actually count for the League, anymore is just for fun and have no bearing at all on the League.
Each Coach will be required to sign up on these boards (if they are not already here) and tell me what their Username is. If you do not do this that Team will be disqualified and thrown out of the league and replaced with a bunch of squigs that can at least do that simple of a task. This is because if their are any special rules for the current week or any anouncments they will be in this Thread. Also the Written challenge rule will be used and you will need to be able to respond to my messages if I end up sending you one.
To be eligible for the Finals you will have to play at the least 12 games. The Final 4 Teams will be picked based on their Win-Loss Ratio. The Standings will be done Weekly.
I am aiming to cap this at 16 Teams total. The cutoff for joining the League will be the week of 12/30/12. If you joined the League by this point you are eligible to play up to 10 make up games to simulate the first 2 weeks of the League. Make up games are limited to 4 games against the same opponent and must be marked as such on the Results sheet or I will be led to believe Shenanagins are being had and the Bruiser Squigs will be sent out to have lunch. These make up games must be played by the 6th week of the League or they will no longer be able to be played.
