CREATING AND APPLYING A TEAM ROSTER |
Before you create your team on Fumbbl, we highly suggest that you use an Excel sheet or one of the online helpers to create your team and make sure it adds up to the total amount. Find roster making tools on the NAF site. Once you have decided on your setup, generate a new team following all of the subsequent steps (do not reuse an existing team!): 1. Create a new team using this link and choose your race and team name. • Please add [EU] OR your NA group of 4's [TEAM NAME], in brackets, at the start of your own teams name. E.g. [EU] Cherryville Croakers OR [Midwest Marauders] Reikland Rovers. • This allows us to more easily group the teams for each event & really alleviates alot of headaches for us on the admin side so, if you could, please remember to do this correctly. If you have any questions, please just ask! 2. On the team page, there is no need to change ‘Progression’ from ‘Standard’ to ‘None’. 3. Buy all of your players, re-rolls, etc., make sure you have 11 rostered players before adding star players (tiers C & D) & click ‘submit for approval’. 4. After submission, click on 'Team Options', then 'Select Skills'. Then select your skills per your teams tier. You will have to fill all un-used slots w/ 'no skill'. When finished click 'save'. 5. When ‘Save’ is pressed to confirm your skill choices, there is no pop-up or conformation screen. You can check if your skills have saved correctly by navigating away from the screen and then checking ‘Team Options’ on your team page. You must select all skills before the start of the tournament and may not change them later. 6. NAF coaches must record their NAF nick and NAF number in the team bio section following team creation. This will help us in the future recording and ranking of online games. 7. Inducement(s) you wish to use should be left out of your team creation process and listed in the team bio. Inducements have to be announced before start of the tournament and may not be changed in-between matches! e.g.: at the beginning of a tournament match, select only your announced inducements, as you would normally by spending your remaining treasury as petty cash. 8. Navigate to the Tournament Team Site and use the button at the bottom at the page to apply your team. Please view Strider’s youtube video if you need more details how to create a team. |

FAIRPLAY |
• Be cordial on the chat and pm towards your opponent and audience. Any use of offensive laguage towards your opponent regarding racial, political or religious content might result in exclusion from the tournament and 1 year ban from NAF events. • We recommend avoiding Timeouts. However, if you use it, you are not allowed to do it without a first “transgression” and consequent first warning on the chat. Example: my opponent exceeds the time in one turn, I warn him that I will timeout next time. You can only use a timeout if the other opponent is playing their turn, if they give an indication that they need 5 minutes or similar to deal with a real life event then they can’t be timed out for this. |
