BloodBowlBlog.com and Emerald Vale Games are excited to host HOOKY-BOWL 2015 (or Borak Bueller's Day Off).
Most Blood Bowl tournaments are played on a weekend over the course of Saturday and Sunday. We wanted to kick the weekend off right with a Blood Bowl Tournament on a Friday … hence HOOKY-BOWL. In order to play, you need to take a vacation day, a sick day, a personal day or just CALL OFF (unless you’re unemployed or a student). The theme for the tournament is based on the classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with a Lord Borak Twist.
So, grab your best friends, steal a Ferrari (or just drive your own car) and spend the day doing what you love to do … playing Blood Bowl.
Everyone who attends will get a pair of Custom D6’s and FREE LUNCH.
If you paid by Paypal in advance, you will also receive a special HOOKY-BOWL 2015 T-Shirt

Team Building Rules
You are given 1,200,000 gold pieces to build your team using CRP team lists or the three additional Team Lists. You may purchase players, rerolls, apothecary, fan factor, coaches, and cheerleaders as normal. You may also purchase skills (see Player Advancement below). Journeymen, Special Play cards, and Mercenaries are NOT ALLOWED. With that said, you may purchase any other inducements as part of your team built.
NOTE: A single WIZARD may be purchased for 100K but may ONLY use the Fireball Spell.
Apothecaries hired for HOOKY-BOWL will work on any of the Star Players taken.
CRP Star Players
Note: If you are including a Star Player from the CRP Rule Book, you must still have 11 players on your team BEFORE being able to hire them. Having 10 plus a Star is not allowed.
Rule for Multiple of the Same Star Player
This is a once in a lifetime event for most of the guys. As such, some players may pretend to be a Star Player or some of the smart ones will be cloned by Wizards to get double the pay. What does that that mean?
Star Players may play for both teams. There is no “Highlander Rule”.
Player Advancements
As our way of saying thanks for coming to celebrate Hooky, Ferris Bueller and Lord Borak, you get to pick one of the following packages for one random un-skilled team member.
Borak Bueller’s Day Off Bonus Skill Packages: (select one for a random player on your roster)
Ferris Skill Package
Leader, Kick-Off Return
Cameron Skill Package
Guard, Kick
Jeanie Skill Package
Frenzy, Shadowing
Principal Rooney Skill Package
Juggernaut, Wrestle
Sloane Skill Package
Fend, Nerves of Steel
Charlie Sheen Package
Sneaky Git, Dirty Player
You may also choose to spend 150,000 of your 1,200,000 gold pieces to purchase skill advancements for players of your choice. Each player (with the exception of the random movie skill package) is allowed up to 2 additional skills. This is for regular positions only, not Star Players.
• A normal skill upgrade costs 20,000
• A Doubles skill upgrade costs 30,000
• You MAY NOT purchase Stat upgrades
• You MAY NOT purchase the LEADER skill
• No player may have more than two Skills
• No skill may be taken more than three times

Special Weather & Special Kick Off Table
The weather that everyone will use will be rolled by the Tournament Official. So if you don’t like the weather blame him. The Special Weather and Special Kick Off Table charts will be seen on the Rules Pack which will be distributed by the end of January.
NAF Tournament Info
This is a NAF approved tournament. If you wish to receive limited edition colored Block Dice and have your tournament progress tracked, there will be an NAF registration onsite for the cost of $10/year.
More information can be found at TheNAF.net
Illegal Procedure
In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Illegal Procedures will not be called
Timing
The two hour and 15 minute rounds WILL be strictly enforced. You will receive ‘Time Remaining’ updates from the Tournament Organizer to help you stay on pace.
The 4 Minute turn rule will not be used unless the Tournament organizer feels your game is in danger of not completing in the two hour time limit. He may insist on a timer being used and enforcing the 4 minute turn rule.
Dice
You are encouraged to share dice with your opponent. Only GW or NAF Block Dice may be used and only the Custom D6’s received at registration may be used. You and your opponent should decide whose set of dice will be used.
Scoring
After each round you will fill out the game sheet based on the game just completed.
• A WIN is worth 20pts
• A DRAW is worth 10pts
• A LOSS is worth 0pts
• A TD is worth 1pts
• A CASUALTY (direct or indirect casualty) is worth 1pt
Overtime
There will be no overtime played. If your game ends in a draw, it’s a draw.
Top Table (Only if the event has 10 or more coaches)
At the beginning of Round 3 the #1 and #2 ranked coaches will be playing for the title of HOOKY-BOWL Champion and 2nd place. Regard-less of any bonus points, the winner of this Top Table game is the HOOKY-BOWL Champion. If the game ends in draw, then Total Tournament points will be used to decide the Champion.
Tiebreakers
The Scoring system has been setup to hopefully get the most accurate representation of how everyone has performed. If, by chance there is a tie in Tournament points, the ties will be broken in this order:
• Winning Percentage
• Head to Head record
• Net TDs plus Net CAS
• Total TDs plus Total CAS
Painting
All teams are expected to meet the minimum painted guidelines. They must have 3 colors on them and have had some attempt at making them appear finished.
Sportsmanship
We are here for the fun of the game. Sportsmanship is not encouraged from the coaches it is required!
Fouling 16 turns in a row and running up the score is not poor sportsmanship, but gloating and ridiculing your opponent while doing so is.
Sportsmanship Awards will be determined based on answers given in the Etiquette Sheet.
Tournament Organizer will strictly enforce the “Don’t be a Douche” policy. Basically, it consists of not performing any acts of Douchebaggery.
Awards (NOTE: Some Awards will be TROPHIES and some will be CERTIFICATES)
The following awards will be given out after the last round:
o HOOKY-BOWL Champion - Winner of Top Table in Round 3* (if more than 10 people)
o 2nd Place - Loser of the Top table round 3* (if more than 10 people)
o Best Offense Certificate - Team that scored the most TDs
o Best Defense Certificate - Team that allowed the fewest TDs
o Most Brutal Certificate - Team that inflicted the most Casualties from Blocking
o Stunty Cup – Highest rated Stunty Team (Halflings, Goblins, Ogre) in standings
o Fan Favorite - Best team as decided by player vote. Tournament Organizer will have final say and break any ties.
o Best Sportsman - Best Sportsman as decided by player vote. Tournament Organizer will have final say and break any ties.
o Poopy Diaper Award - Coach that finished with lowest number of Tournament points
Alternate Option NAMED AFTER CHARACTERS FROM THE MOVIE?!?
• First Place – You Are Borak Bueller and have succeeded in “One Man’s Struggle to Take it Easy,” Play Blood Bowl All Day and Walk Away with a First Place Trophy.
• Second Place – You are Cameron Frye and although you didn’t win the day, you’ve quite possibly had the best day of your life and learned to not take things so seriously.
• Best Offense – You are The Parking Garage Attendant because you embody Carpe Diem with your winning offense. Grab life by the cojones or just “borrow” a Ferarri from the parking garage for the best joy ride ever.
• Best Defense - You are Ben Stein “The Economics Teacher” because if you’ve played the perfect defense, you must understand the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and have a firm grip on supply-side economics.
• Most Brutal – You are Charlie Sheen “Boy in the Police Station” a most violent individual and will undoubtedly find yourself sitting in a police precinct somewhere sometime in the near future.
• Fan Favorite – You are John Hughes “Writer/Director” because there’s not a single person in three generations who hates John Hughes and is grateful for the best coming-of-age movies ever written.
• Best Sportsman – You are Abe Froman “The Sausage King of Chicago” … nuff said!
• Poopy Diaper Award – You are Ed. R. Rooney, Dean of Students and nothing you did today worked out in your favor.
• The Warm Gummy Bear Award – Given to the coach(s) who have traveled the furthest to attend the tournament
Spread The Wealth
A coach may only win one award. If they are in line to win more than one award, they will be asked which one they would prefer and the next coach in line will be given the other award. Tournament organizers reserve the right to adjust the awards, i.e.
The complete set of rules will be made available by January 31st on http://www.bloodbowlblog.com/hooky-bowl-2015
