West Coast Quake

The West Coast Quake is one of the big annual Blood Bowl Tournaments on the US West Coast. Last year was my first Quake and a big reason that this blog has started putting out some regular posts again. I rushed a fully painted Wood Elf team for that event and ended up in a similar position this year as I tried to juggle the Goblins for this tournament with the Chaos Team for our regular league. There were more than 20 players competing this year and I went in with one, simple objective... Foul, a lot. I was after the Dirty Player award and had 16 opportunities every game, over 6 games a possible 96 fouls (ignoring special play cards that could help). In the end, I managed 65 - a new tournament record and in chasing this I was able to secure the tournament's Wooden Spoon as I lost all but one game. I felt bad that my pursuit of fouling could be seen as throwing the game for the other player but despite this risk, I only ended up playing one of the top 4 players so I don't think I made too much of an impact here.

As you can see, there were some rather odd filtering effects creeping into the camera. I am not sure where these came from and I am a little annoyed as I'd rather have the choice of entering them in post. It was a fantastic weekend and many thanks to everyone that took part.
