Roster Creation
Coaches may select a race from the 23 official races in the BB2016 including all BB2016 publications and the “Teams of Legend” document, whichever is more up to date, and the 3 additional NAF recommended races, Slann, Khorne Deamons and Bretonnians.
Coaches will have 1.15 Million GP to spend on their team to purchase players, apothecaries, team re-rolls, assistant coaches, cheerleaders, fan factor, star players and all inducements (except special play cards, mercenaries and wizards) with the following restrictions applied:-
- Teams must have a minimum of 11 players on their team, this can include a Star Player.
- Maximum of 1 Star Player per team, except Stunties who may select 2 Star Players
- Stunty teams are Ogres, Halflings, Goblins, Stunty Lizardmen (no Saurus), and Stunty Underworld (no Skaven).
- You can give 3 different players a Normal skill prior to game 1.
- Prior to each subsequent game (games 2 to 5), coaches will add 1 additional skill to a player who has not been given an additional skill prior to that point.
- For these additional skills, 1 must be selected from each skill category (General, Agility, Strength, Passing and Mutations). Extraordinary skills are excluded.
- Coaches must choose their skill and order of their skill progression prior to the tournament (i.e. before knowing your opponents). For example Claw (mutations) selected for game 2, Leader (passing) selected for game 3, Guard (strength) selected for game 4, Dodge (agility) selected for game 5 and Wrestle (general) selected for game 6.
- No Star Players can have an additional skill.
Rules
The BB2016 version of the rules will be used with the exception of the Piling On skill not requiring a team re-roll for use. The tournament will be Resurrection style (Injuries and deaths do not carry over, teams reset after every game).
How will the weekend run?
The tournament itself will include 6 games over both the Saturday and Sunday, however as the dining hall is close by to the accommodation, travel time will be very low and as such, we can start playing the games sooner, to give ourselves more time later if required.
Schedule
Friday
Arrive anytime from 5pm and enjoy an evening of gaming and socialising with friends, new and old.
Saturday
Game 1: 9.00am – 11.15am
Game 2: 12.15pm – 2.45pm
Lunch: 11.15am – 12.15pm
Game 3: 2.45pm – 5.00pm
Free evening for gaming and socialising, use this time as you please, just remember to be respectful.
Sunday

Lunch: 12.45pm – 1.45pm
Game 6: 1.45pm – 4.00pm
Awards: 4.00pm – 4.30pm
Due to having to leave the facility by 5pm, the Sunday schedule will need to be strict and participants will need to use their free time wisely on Sunday to ensure the facility is left clean and all their belongings are packed and ready.
How much will it cost?
To cover the cost of hiring the facility and to be able to allow a little prize support as well, the entry fee will be $100. Due to rules associated with booking however, decisions regarding your attendance will need to be made early and a minimum number of participants will need to have confirmed and paid prior to the event for it to be able to go ahead. A minimum of 14 participants will be required by Thursday 26th September.
When is it?
The FFA Cup will run over the weekend of Saturday 16th November to Sunday 17th November. However as it is run away from where most people live, we have booked Camp Mornington from 5pm Friday 15th November until 5pm Sunday 17th November. Participants will be able to and encouraged to stay overnight on both Friday and Saturday night to make the most of the facility and event, enjoying the social aspects of the weekend outside of the tournament itself.
What is Camp Mornington?
Camp Mornington is a PCYC facility commonly used for school children and youth at risk to do activities to help provide guidance and leadership. More importantly for us though, it is a nice location on a hillside which will provide dorm style accommodation (including A/C), modern ablutions, cooking facilities (including an adequate Cold Room), dining facilities (which will double as playing facilities) with some little extras like potential access to a games room (pool table and air hockey) and access to a swimming pool.
It is a self-catered facility, which means you will be required to bring your own bedding (pillow, sleeping bag, bed sheets, etc), your own toiletries and your own food and drink to cover meals and the social atmosphere of the event.
The facility is built on an old sawmill site, so there will be a few extra rules in regards to footwear which will be covered later. |
