Ever
wondered where all the money thrown away by the premier teams
at the end of their games go ? They don't actually throw it
away, it goes into a special fund that the league uses to
enroll the most powerful wizards of the Colleges of Magic to
create magical items of great power and schedule an important
tournament bringing out the most spectacular teams that tear
each other apart to acquire the prestige and the prizes, for
the enjoyment of the fans. Created this season, four magical
rings keyed to the four basic statistics of all Blood Bowl
players. The Rings of Power can be found here.
The team
winning the Tournament of the Rings will earn first pick on
one of the Rings of Power, 100,000 gold pieces (in addition
to normal winnings) and +1d6 Fan Factor (in addition to the
result of the usual Fan Factor roll). The runner up will get
second pick on a Ring of Power and 50,000 gold pieces (in
addition to normal winnings). The Ring of the runner up,
however, will also draw its power from the player, giving him
the equivalent of a Niggling Injury that cannot be cured by
the Miraculous Recovery card. If the Ring crumbled to dust in
the future (see description), the player would still keep the
Niggling Injury, but then, and only then, could the player be
cured by the Miraculous Recovery card.
Also, before
the tournament begins, all head coaches of the teams
participating in the Tournament of the Rings will make a
special prediction on how many TD's / casualties will be
scored / caused during the tournament (including the final).
The winner and runner up of the tournament will be excluded
from the bet as to not win two prizes. The winner of the
prediction (the coach whose prediction will be closest to the
final number of TD's / casualties) will receive third pick on
a Ring of Power, with the same penalty as the runner up team.
(A coach's prediction should be sent to Cujo's email
address above as soon as their team's participation is
ensured.)
Winner
of the prediction contest : ELFishski (15
TD's / 87 casualties predicted; final score : 9 TD's / 98
casualties)
