About Kabouter Cup 2025:
The Kabouter Cup is an effort of the ROFFA to create a recurring tournament series in the city of Rotterdam, and to promote the game of Blood Bowl in our town.
We are holding a squad tournament in the Tabletop Kingdom shop, 10 minutes of walk from the Central train station. Kabouter Buttplug is a highlight of Rotterdam. A comment on Christmas, consumer culture, globalism and the feeling you get when you get diced in Blood Bowl. Here you can find all the info you need to participate.
The tournament is limited to 24 people, in squads of 3 coaches per team. If demand exceeds this, we have the option to raise it to 30 people. Late registrants will be placed on a waiting list.
If you are looking for a squad but have none, send an email to Engmir and he will try his best to hook you up with hot singles in your area.
Roster submission deadline: July 12th.
Every registrant will receive a limited edition metal Kabouter miniature for attending our first tournament. We commissioned Pedro Ramos to make us something special!
Top squad will receive prizes. Everyone will receive our eternal gratitude for coming
The Format:
3 coaches come with 3 unique races purchased with a squad budget, similar to that of the Black Box Tournament on FUMBBL. Every coach in the squad plays with every team in their squad once. So if your 'entertaining' friend decides to come with an Ogre team with 6 frenzies and LARP as Minotaurs, all three of you will have to suffer. FUN!
3 rounds will be played during the tournament. The first round will be randomly paired. A double swiss system is used for rounds 2 and 3 (first swiss system to pair the squads and then swiss system to pair coaches within the squad pairing). Roster-coach pairings will be randomized.
We will have stand-by coaches in case there are a few last moment drop-outs. Their rosters are awful, so make sure your squad mates show up!
