Introduction
Once a year high in the mountains the Temple of the Celestium opens itself to blood bowl fans to take part in its Starfall Festival. During this time the great comet LeeLoo-Boop comes overhead during the third night of the festival and a great many games are played beneath this shining comet. During this time many strange things have been known to happen, players might vanish into the air ever to be seen again or mutation might spontaneously happen through the stadium. Welcome to the Stafall Festival Coaches. May the star not fall on your head.

Special Rules
Weather tables will not be used as the tournament committee has made sure to employ plenty of Weather Mages for this event. In place of this the Star Event will happen once per drive. At the start of the drive roll a D8 before the kickoff but after both teams have placed all their starting players and consult the star chart below:
1 - Mutation - Both coaches randomly gain a mutation on a player of their choice.
2- Temporal Warp - The active player chooses to move the turn markers forward 1 or backward one then rolls a d6. On a 4+ the temporal warp is in their favor and the turn marker get adjusted as desired. Otherwise the turn marker moves in the opposite direction.
3 - Reality Shift - Both coaches roll a d6. Whoever rolls higher must instantly swap the position of two players on the field, this may not target a player carrying the ball as it has been enchanted to prevent this effect.
4 - Star Spawn Mutation - Both coaches randomly select a lineman from their team who is affected by the weird star energy. For the rest of the drive that player mutates into the Star Spawn, see stats below.
Star Spawn
MA ST AG PA AV
d6 7 4+ - 9
Skills & Traits: Ball & Chain, Foul Appearance, Tentacles
5 - Feed Me Seymour - Strange plants grow around the pitch, each coach randomly select d3 players on their team to get attacked by mutated star plants. When a player is attacked roll a d6, on a 4+ that player is knocked prone and an armor roll is made.
6 - Falling Stars - Each coach selects a turn number after turn 1. When that turn comes for your opponent chose a square to be hit by the meteor as if a player with the bombardier trait targeted that square. A player in the target square is immediately knocked down. All players adjacent are hit by the blast on a roll of 4+. An armor roll is made for all players in the square targeted or that were knocked down by the meteor.
7 - MY EYES - A bright flare in the night sky has appeared. Coaches will roll a d6, and the coach who rolls the highest will choose three players, one of which must be their own, to lose their tackle zone and action for the rest of this turn.
8 - Celestial Chorus - Both teams are suffused with the energy of the vast celestial skies above. Until the end of the game 3 non-star players on a coaches team gain one of the following +1 ST, +1 MA, or +1 PA. The bonuses must be given to different players and you may only use a bonus once meaning after a player is given that bonus, it may not be used again. If this gets rolled a second time this game reroll and use that result instead.
A special Star player will be available for this tournament.
