Tournament Rules
Games will be played using the rules from the Blood Bowl Competition Rules Pack with the following modifications:
- Illegal procedure will not be in effect.
- Turns will not be timed unless Coaches prefer otherwise. Simply discuss this with your opponent before each match begins.
- Rosters are reset after each round. This means players are restored to health/life, star player points are not accumulated, no improvement rolls are made and no gold is earned.
Roster Creation
- Each Coach has an allowance of 1,100,000 gold pieces to create their roster and purchase skill and stat increases. Reference the Blood Bowl rule book for appropriate values and rules. The following restrictions apply:
1. No player may be given more than one skill OR stat increase.
2. No player may be given a stat increase in addition to a skill (it’s either one or the other!)
3. No more than 2 players may be given the same skill.
4. No more than 2 players may have the same stat increase.
5. No extraordinary skills may be taken.
6. Strength or agility stat increases may not be taken.
7. Players with strength of 5 or more may not be given double skills unless they play for a Goblin, Halfling, or Ogre team.
8. Star players may not be given any skills or stat increases.
10. You must have at least 11 players on your roster. Please note: Star Players purchased during team creation can count towards the minimum 11 players required for a team.
11. Each team must include the Star Player Guy Fawkes (see “Guy Fawkes†below.) Guy Fawkes does count towards the 0-2 Star Player limitation.
12. Inducements may be purchased during team creation, including Star Players, but excludes Wizards, Special Play Cards and Unlimited Mercenaries. These inducements are considered a permanent part of the team and can be used each game. Opposing teams may have the same Star Player, contrary to the rule book.
13. Teams may be selected from the 21 races in the rulebook in addition to the 3 new teams approved by the Blood Bowl Rules Committee (Chaos Pact, Slaan, Underwold Pact).
14. The following teams will be eligible to win the Stunty Cup: Halfings, Ogres, Goblins, Lizardmen (no Saurus Warriors), and Underworld Pact (no skaven players). See “Awards/Prizes†below.
Pairing and Scoring
Opponents will be selected randomly for Round 1. Rounds 2 and 3 will be selected using the system of Swiss pairing (most points vs. most points, lowest points vs. lowest points, etc.) Coaches are awarded points based on the following:
+20 points for each win
+10 points for each draw
0 points for each loss
+ 1 point for each touchdown scored
+ 1 point per casualty (Only those that would normally result in SPPs)
+ 1 point for opponents’ Guy Fawkes suffering a casualty by any means.
Guy Fawkes
Each roster must include the Star Player “Guy Fawkes†and each coach must provide a suitable model representing this player. He has no cost and can only be used by each player during one drive throughout the game. Each coach may choose when to include him in their set up at the start of a drive. Guy Fawkes’ stats and skills are as follows:
Movement-6, Strength-3, Agility-3, Armour-8. Dodge, Side Step, Nerves of Steel, Bombardier, Stab, Disturbing Presence, Loner
Special Tournament Rules
During each round of the tournament, the following special rules will be in effect.
Round/Game 1: Traps!
The pitch is riddled with mines. At the start of each half, each coach must roll a D8. The result of their roll will be assigned to one of their turns of that half. At the start of the assigned turn, the coach rolls 2d6. If the result is double 1s then one of their own players has stepped on a mine, if the result is double 6s then one of their opponents players has stepped on a mine. Roll for a random player on the appropriate team. The player is immediately knocked down and any players in adjacent squares are also knocked down on a roll of 4+. Make armour and injury rolls for any players knocked down.
Round/Game 2: Exploding Ball!
The game balls have been sabotaged with explosives. When a player attempts to pick up, catch, or intercept a ball and rolls a “1†it explodes! The player is immediately knocked down as are all players in adjacent squares on a roll of 4+. Make armour and injury rolls for any players knocked down. The ball will then behave as normal (scatter, bounce, etc.) Rerolls may be used per usual.
Round/Game 3: Revolution!
The crowd dawns their Guy Fawkes masks and increases their level of participation. For this game the following 1d6 kick-off table will be in effect: 1-Get the Ref, 2-Riot, 3-Cheering Fans, 4-Changing Weather, 5-Throw a Rock (bomb), 6-Pitch Invasion
