The tournament will follow resurrection rules. Any injuries you sustain will not carry over to the next game, nor will any star player points. The roster you start the tournament with will be the one you play for all 3 rounds.

Tournament Rules:

There will be 3 Rounds played over the course of the day. First Round pairings will be chosen at random. Rounds 2 and 3 pairings will follow a Swiss format based on each teamâ€™s tournament score.
Tournament Scoring:
Tournament Points from Win / Loss / Ties:
Win by 2 or more TDâ€™s â€“ 60 pts
Win by 1 TD â€“ 50pts
Draw â€“ 30pts
Loss by 1 TD â€“ 10pts
Loss by 2 or more TDâ€™s â€“ 0 pts
Tournament Points from Player Actions:
Each Completion â€“ 1 pt
Each Casualty Caused (via block / blitz) â€“ 2 pts
Each Interception â€“ 2 pts
Each Touchdown â€“ 3 pts
In the event that tie-breakers are required the following will be used:
1st â€“ Head to head record
2nd â€“ Opponentâ€™s strength of schedule as determined by comparing total tournament points scored by each coachâ€™s opponents
3rd â€“ Highest value when taking total Tournament Points from Player Actions scored less Tournament Points from Player Actions scored against
4th â€“ D6 roll off
Weather will be rolled for by the coaches at Pitch 1 at the beginning of each round. The result will be the starting weather for all games that round.
Illegal Procedure: In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Illegal Procedure will not be called.
The 4-minute turn rule will not be strictly enforced. But if the TO feels the game may not finish in the 2-hour time allotted, he may insist coaches use a timer and begin enforcing the 4-minute rule.
Each pitch will be supplied with D6â€™s. Both coaches are to use only the D6â€™s provided for the pitch they playing on (please be sure to leave the provided D6's on the pitch at the conclusion of each game).
Sportsmanship: We are here for the fun of the game. Good sportsmanship is not encouraged from the coaches, it is required! Fouling 16 turns in a row or running up the score is not poor sportsmanship. Gloating, ridiculing and being overly argumentative are examples of poor sportsmanship. Any sportsmanship issues will be addressed by the TO.
Sportsmanship Scoring: At the end of each game you will give your opponent a score for sportsmanship. Sportsmanship scores will not factor into the overall results, but will be used for awarding the best sportsman score. The grading scale will be similar to common test scoring we've all been exposed to: F, D+, C, C+, B, B+, A, and A+. An average game would score in the C to B range. If your opponent really went out of the way / above and beyond to make the game fun it could fall in the B+ to A+ range. The D+ score is reserved for below average sportsmanship and the F is score means there was a significant sportsmanship issue that needs to be discussed with the TO.
Painting and Modeling requirements:
All teams are expected to meet the minimum painting guidelines. They must have 3 colors on them with no metal showing and painted and/or flocked bases. Non standard or converted minis are acceptable, but we must be able to easily tell the positions apart. You will not be allowed to proxy minis in any way that can confuse an opponent. All players are also to be clearly numbered so that your opponent can easily identify how your models on the pitch correspond to the players listed on your roster sheet. Teams which do not comply with these requirements will receive a deduction of 50 penalty points from their coachâ€™s tournament score at the completion of the 3rd round.
Best Appearance Scoring: At the conclusion of the 1st round coaches are to display their team for appearance scoring. Appearance scores will not factor into the overall results, but will be used for awarding the best appearance award. Prior to commencement of the 2nd round coaches are to submit their top 3 favorite teams, in the order of their preference, which the TO will tally and use for making the best appearance award.

The Black Hole Brawl is a NAF sponsored event. Anyone playing who isnâ€™t a NAF member yet and would like to join may sign up at the tournament, as there will be a NAF representative on site. You can also renew your membership at the tournament and get your dice handed to you.
