Welcome to the rules pack for the Gloucestershire Open Blood Bowl League (GoBBL) Global Cup! This is a 1-day Blood Bowl tournament that will be held on Sunday 8th September at the Tuffley Community Association, Windsor Drive, Tuffley, Gloucester, GL4 0RS.
Given that the World Cup is just around the corner, the GoBBL Global Cup rules will be based on its ruleset. The GoBBL Global Cup is a great opportunity to test the mettle of any team ideas and skill combinations that you may think could be unstoppable at the World Cup (if you’re lucky enough to be going). Even if you’re not going to the World Cup, it will still be a jolly good tournament and provide a fun day of Blood Bowl entertainment.
The Cup consists of 3 games, each that will represent one of the days at the World Cup. To condense this into a single day, coaches will receive a cash boost before each game to spend on additional skills to improve their team.
