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.
- The d6s provided upon registration must be used by each coach.
- 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.
- 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 do not 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.)
Skill Selection
Each Coach has an allowance of 100,000 gold pieces worth of skills and/or stat increases. Reference pages 26-27 of the Blood Bowl rules for appropriate values and rules. The following restrictions apply:
- No player may be given more than one skill OR stat increase.
- No player may be given a stat increase in addition to a skill (it’s either one or the other!)
- No more than 2 players may be given the same skill.
- No more than 2 players may have the same stat increase.
- No extraordinary skills may be taken.
- Players with a Strength value of 5 or more may not be given double skills unless they play for a Goblin, Halfling or Ogre team.
- Star players may not be given any skills or stat increases.
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 every casualty suffered by the opposing team (crowd injuries, failed dodged injuries, etc. count!)
+ 1 point for each touchdown scored
+ 5 points for each epic challenge completed in the assigned round. (see "Epic Challenges" below)
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, +2 Points: The models are each covered with paint of some type, with no bare metal or plastic visible.
- Detailed, +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, +2 Points: All of the positional players may be easily determined (following explanation, if necessary).
- Based ,+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: By the end of the game you have successfully made a total of fifteen (15) 2-die blocks resulting in the opposing player being placed prone OR 20 successful dodge rolls are made.
Round 2: Go 6 straight turns in one half that do not result in a turnover for your team.
Round 3: Complete at least 6 foul actions with at least 3 not resulting in a player not being thrown out of the game (bribes could prove to be most useful!)
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
- Most Spanked (least match points)
- Best TD Celebration! (score a touchdown and go NUTS!)

But it's conveniently between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Sounds like a fun-filled weekend if you ask me.  |

SPR Bacon Bowl is just over two weeks away! We've received a favorable response from coaches who plan to attend and the variety of teams to be showcased thus far include Halfings, Goblins, Chaos Pact, Chaos, Necromantic, Dark Elves, Dwarves, High Elves, Orcs and Amazons!
An advanced forecast for Saturday, March 30 shows a high of 65 degrees which, accordingly to my book of proper grilling etiquette, is perfect tailgating weather! Take a look at the pictures from our last bacon-related Blood Bowl tournament and the smiling facing on those who participated.
For only $15 registrants will enjoy 2 tailgating sessions of bacon-wrapped hot doggitty goodness, a set of custom bacon dice, 3 games of NAF sanctioned blood bowl, and the opportunity to win 9 different trophies (limit 1 per coach). Truly this is a value that is beyond all reason!
RULES CLARIFICATION: While I'm at it, we've had a FAQ of how much the total value of each team should amount to. Your total team value should be 1,200,000 gold pieces: 1,100,000 to purchase players and inducements and then another 100,000 for skills and stat increases.
Pictures of the trophies coming soon and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday, March 30. |

Haha. Is it too late to trade Best Defense in for Most Photogenic?
And 17 casualties in one match might be a record, no? (probably not, I guess) |
