The Albion Coast Cup is back and the tenth installment of mayhem in Southampton!

The Albion Coast Cup is a tournament like no other. Rich in history the ACC has run for over a decade now and for the fourth year we are proud to present the UK's only progression tournament. As a progression tournament the ACC is still NAF-ranked but each coach has a team to develop and build rather than a fixed roster of everliving players. As has been the case for a very long time now the Albion Coast Cup will be held on the August Bank Holiday weekend, so 23rd and 24th August.

This also constitutes the penultimate round of the South West Tournament Championship.



Remember that this is a little different to other tournaments so here's the detail:

The tournament will be run according to the CRP with the following exceptions, amendments and clarifications:
Starting Treasury: 1,050,000
Slann, Underworld, Chaos Pact rosters included.
No Inducements may be purchased as part of your starting roster.
All Inducements allowed (including Special Play Cards) and to be chosen at the start of each game. Petty Cash may be used for Inducements.
SPPs are earned according to the rulebook with the exception of the MVP which is chosen rather than awarded to a random player.
All skill rolls must be made immediately after the game in the presence of your opponent (+stats and doubles are allowed).
All purchases, journeymen, and skills must be selected after each game and before the start of the next round.
Any Ogre teams will be allowed to allocate ONE extra MVP to a player of their choice prior to the first game.
Remember especially the Petty Cash rules, which could be relevant at any point.

Points will be awarded as follows:
Win: 3 Points
Draw: 1 Point
Loss: 0 Points

Each round will be drawn according to the Swiss format with no reference to TDs, CAS or TV
If two or more coaches are tied for first place at the end of the final game then opponent score will be used to find final placings.

It is expected that you will be able to provide appropriate miniatures for any stars that you may induce (or at least proxies that distinguish them from regular team members)
It would be sensible to ensure you bring a good number of skill rings.
Starting Rosters will be required in advance of The ACC so that provision can be made for efficient printing of updated rosters in between rounds.
These should be emailed to robincaddy@hotmail.com as either excel files or just typed out clearly.

Venue, costs, and stuff...
I'm finalising, with Lemf's help, a new venue for this year, costs will be confirmed at the time of confirming venue. I anticipate £20/25 or less.

Prize support will come once again from the fabulous Willy Miniatures.
We look forward to seeing you there - Blocknroll, Itchen Massack and Lemf

Despite my misgivings on a tournament that uses SPPs and the normal injury rolls, I really enjoyed the event last year, so I'm gutted I'll be missing it this year (unless I win the lottery in the next 2 weeks!), so if you're free, I really recommend it.

I was going, loved it last year until Bri had to move the start of her camp meaning no longer available.
