Draft tournaments require coaches to think on their feet. They won't know what team they will be using until minutes before the game kicks off. Forget forward planning, this is a test of your general coaching ability and will highlight those who can adapt quickly versus those who can't.
Team Tango II is a draft-style tournament bursting with flavour as we do the head-to-head between Cherry and Berry!
In the Team Tango, coaches enter the tournament without a playbook to fall back on. They have no idea which team they will lead in each round or what skills that team has. Therefore, coaches must be as adaptable as possible if they are to survive the merry-go-round and take the title in the Team Tango.
The event will cost £20. This covers table hire and the prizes on offer. This does not cover food and drink. However, Sanctuary Gaming offers a great selection of drinks and sugary snacks and there are plenty of fast food places nearby.
This is a resurrection event so your team will reset after each game, ignoring any injuries suffered.
The Tango is a draft-style tournament, but instead of drafting players or star players you are drafting teams. On the day all of the teams and a team sheet for each will be provided. There will be one of each of the official GW teams (including the teams of legend) provided. In the unlikely event that GW release something unexpected before the event, there will be 2 human teams. Attending coaches don't need to carry out any preparation other than bring with them dice, reroll / turn / score markers and a winning attitude!
Round 1: The coach draw is done at random as usual. The coaches randomly drawn on the bottom table will then get the chance to select which team they would like to play. Coaches will decide at the same time so as not to be able to outsmart each other. When they have picked, the coaches on the next table get to pick and then the table after that etc. If both coaches pick the same team, neither can have that team and they must pick again.
Rounds 2 and 3: Pretty similar - we start with the two coaches on the bottom table. They get to pick their teams first, then the second bottom table etc. Leaving the top table with just whichever team is left. You cannot pick the same team twice in the event; each round you must play someone different.
Team creation is done for you. The rosters will be available before the day for you to peruse and make a short list of possible choices. There will be a couple of basic rules followed for all rosters:
You might be thinking that you don't need to worry about skills... but you'd be wrong! Team Tango is a tournament of communal team building. Each round you get to add one or more skills to the team and they remain with the team for the next person to use. So by round 3 you will be using a team that two other coaches have helped to build.
Each round coaches start by secretly picking the Cherry or Dark Berry marker and then revealing it along with their opponent. If a Cherry is picked, you may add a primary skill of your choice to any player without a skill on the team. If a Dark Berry is selected, then they have opted for the random table which could be very good or very bad. Each selection of Cherry or Berry applies to both coaches, so if 2 cherries are picked, both coaches add 2 primary skills. If 2 Dark Berries are selected then each coach must roll for two players on the table.
