Hi all,
The next tournament in our Online NAF series will begin on Monday, August 17th, and we hope it will be our biggest and best event yet. Our ruleset will be based upon the greatest show of all, the NAF World Cup!
For those not in the know, this November, over 900 coaches will arrive in Lucca, Italy to contest the NAF World Cup (see the website here). Over 3 days, 9 games will be played between teams of six to decide the biggest prize in tournament Blood Bowl. More importantly than that, coaches from across the globe will come together to celebrate this fine game over one or two small beers. Sound good? It bloody will be!
The online event will be fully Lucca themed, with physical prizes of WC pitches and miniatures to be won, and a team based tournament within a tournament on the side. Big thanks to the WC organisers for their support!
Full details for the event (via the rulespack) will be available from next Monday (3rd August) both here and across the usual channels, and you’ll be able to apply to the tournament on the 10th. Until then, please feel free to ask any questions below! Get YOUR World Cup started early by getting involved this August!
