Save The Date!
The Stony Point Refugees will be sponsoring the 2nd Annual SPR Bacon Bowl at FTW Games in Richmond, Virginia on Saturday, April 5, 2014. This tournament is one of SPR's two yearly bacon-related Blood Bowl Tournaments (SPR Bacon-Wrapped Blood Bowl Tournament being our Fall installment) and is fully expected to be NAF approved.
Participants from far and wide will gather at FTW Games for a day of tailgating, blood bowl, and camaraderie. Each registrant will receive three NAF approved Blood Bowl matches, two sessions of tailgating (bacon-wrapped hot dogs to be provided!), and a chance to win one of several trophies.
Photos and feedback from last year's Bacon Bowl and our most recent Bacon-Wrapped Blood Bowl Tournament are available for viewing and reading online.
Rules and registration information will be provided in the upcoming weeks. We look forward to seeing you in April! |

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 1,250,000 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. Star players may not be given any skills or stat increases.
- 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 can be used each game. Opposing teams may have the same Star Player, contrary to the rule book.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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 per casualty (Only those that would normally result in SPPs.)
+ 1 point for each touchdown scored
+ 5 points for each epic challenge completed in the assigned round (see "Epic Challenges" below)
+ 5 points for any coach that completes all three epic challenges
In addition, the following points will be awarded after the second round of play, based on the appearance of each coach's team (judged by tournament staff).
- Painted, Up to +2 Points: The models are each covered with paint of some type, with no bare metal or plastic visible.
- Detailed, Up to +2 Points: The models aren’t just painted, but highly detailed and beyond that of table top quality.
- Numbered, +1 Point: All of the team's players are clearly numbered.
- Distinctive, Up to +2 Points: All of the positional players may be easily determined (following explanation, if necessary).
- Based, Up to +2 Points: Each model's base is finished with gravel, flock, etc.
Unpainted teams are allowed, but their use will obviously impact a coach's chances of winning the tournament.
Epic Challenges
During each round a challenge will be in place which, if completed, will award each coach +5 points to their total score. They are as follows:
Round 1 – Toe to Toe or Got to Go: By the end of the game you have successfully made a total of twenty five (25) 2-die blocks resulting in the opposing player being prone OR thirty (30) successful dodge rolls.
Round 2 – Consistency in Efficiency: Go 6 straight turns in one half of the game that do not result in a turnover for your team.
Round 3 – Leave It All On the Field for Greatness to Yield: Be successful in any “attempt†that would require a D6 roll of a natural 6 which if failed would also result in a turnover. Note: This bonus is not awarded if a reroll from a skill or a team reroll is still available for use by any player in the same turn attempting to earn this bonus. In other words, earning the bonus is done so by the strictest of means: either make an attempt and roll a naturally required 6 without the availability of a reroll (by skill or team) to earn the bonus OR suffer a turnover.
Awards/Prizes
Trophies will be given during the award ceremony for the following:
- 1st Place (most match points)
- 2nd Place (second most match points)
- Most Violent (most casualties inflicted)
- Highest Scoring (most touchdowns scored)
- Best Defense (least touchdowns allowed)
- Stunty Cup (most match points scored by a stunty team)
- Best Painted
- SPR Team Spirit Award (awarded to the participant with the most team spirit whether it be in the form of extravagant touchdown celebrations, exceptional sportsmanship, live cheerleaders, etc.)
- Pillow Fighter (least amount of casualties inflicted)
- Bench Warmer (least amount of touchdowns scored)
- Most Spanked (least match points)
