Dear Captains,
This is the 3rd Information Email for German Team Bowl 2025
📢 Please also forward this information to all members of your squad! This is the 3rd Infomail for the GTB 2025
a) Tournament Software
For the German Team Bowl 2025, we will be using the tournament platform:
👉 https://narok.org/tournaments
On this platform, you can manage your squad, submit your roster, and later enter game results.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, please read the following short guide:
1. Login
All accounts have been created centrally.
Username: Your NAF Nickname
Initial Password: gtb2025
👉 Please change your password upon first login!
Click on your nickname in the top right corner and set a new password.
2. Squad Management
Go to the “Squad” tab.
There you will see your squad.
As a captain, you can invite players to join your squad.
Invited players must confirm the invitation to become official members.
Once all members are confirmed, your squad will be marked green (= ready to play).
3. Entering Your Rosters
Go to the “My Team” tab.
There, you can enter your team roster for the tournament.
Please make sure all details are accurate and complete.
Roster-Deadline is 31.07.2025
4. Upload Squad Logo (Captains Only)
Click on your nickname (top right corner).
There, you can upload a squad logo, if you wish.
If you encounter any issues with the platform or if something is unclear, feel free to contact Narok or reach out to me directly.
b) Draft during the tournament
We are using a Team Draft System for each round, so you will need to discuss who of your team is playing who on the opposing team and can do tactical decisions.
We will use our software to determine the draw and make the draws etc. We already tested it heavily and it never took us more than 5minutes to do so (most of the time less than 60 seconds) – so we luckily don’t need to adjust the time of the rounds.
We will do a short presentation of the draft sytem before the tournament, so everybody will be fine, knowing what to do.
c) Another possible Gimmick at GTB
The Main Gimmick will still be a surprise (i already have them here at home :)) but you will have the opportunity to buy wooden Dugouts/Tokens from Heinrich, who will participate in the tournament. They will be specifically branded for GTB. You will find some example pictures in the attachment of this mail. If you are interested in getting them, he can bring them to the tournament. Payment is directly discussed with him (as he is producing them :)) He does need the information until Mid-July to have time enough to prepare them
His Contact is:
Heinrich.boese@gmail.com
If you have any kids in your team, please don’t tell them… there could be a surprise for them^^
d) Discord
We would be happy if you join our Discord-Server for GTB. All Informationen is shared there too, and you can get in contact to us very fast and easy. There will be a dedicated section where we explain the draft system for you.
See you very soon in Cologne
Thank you and good luck with your preparations!
We’re looking forward to a fantastic tournament with all of you!
