WCGP Tournament Series

The West Coast Grand Prix Tournament Series is intended to promote greater participation in Blood Bowl tournaments along the West Coast of North America by creating an additional contest based on scoring of those events. In other words, we’re using shiny prizes to entice coaches to travel to more tournaments than they otherwise might.

The WCGP is sanctioned and sponsored by the NAF. Any disputes or clarifications will be handled by the NAF Tournament Series Director.
Tournament Series Organizer: Bryan Tew “Grither”
Tournament Series type: Open

    • Top 3 coaches will receive:
      • Custom WCGP TS D6s (gold/silver/bronze)

Note: Coaches will not be eligible for multiple custom WCGP TS D6s (i.e., gold-silver-bronze). Coaches will receive the “maximum” version (i.e., gold/silver/bronze) they have achieved in order to make room for additional coaches to partake in the rewards/prizes.

For example, if a coach places in the top 3 of both the main scoring and the achievements, they only claim one set of D6s. Coaches are still eligible to earn both a set of the attendance D6s and one set of the gold silver-bronze D6s.
