Tournament schedule:
The weekend will feature 2 single day events. Each day will feature a 3 game swiss style, resurrection tournaments. First games will be determined by random matchup. The remaining games will be determined based on tournament points (or for the team event see below)
For the first round only, we will do our best to pair players off against members that are outside of their home club.
This year we are featuring a few new components for the weekend. We will be using the Winter Kick off table again. This weather table will be used for both events on Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday Team Challenge
Coaches will form a squad of three prior to the event.
If single coaches arrive on Saturday without forming a squad previously, they may if there are others in a similar situation be pooled together. Please try to handle this a head of time.
On Saturday Winter Mayhem Weekend will feature a 3 squad team event.
Each squad will have the following
- Maximum of 1 race from each tier
- 3 unique races
For round pairings we will be doing team swiss pairings based on tournament points. When each squad works out their individual matches will be determined by highest teir facing highest teir. Then working down until all 3 coaches are paired off.

Winter Weather Table
Both days will be using this custom kick off chart to replace the existing weather chart.
2 – Howling Winds – The Fans are shivering in the stands as furious gusts of wind blows steadily down the pitch. Any pass attempts have an additional -1 modifer. Each players rolls a d6 (rerolling ties) the wind is blowing down the pitch towards the losing players end zone. When ever the ball scatters for a kick off or inaccurate pass, it will blow down the pitch. Before making a scatter roll, place the throw in template over the ball so that the 3-4 result is pointing in the same direction as the wind. Then roll a d6 and move the ball one space in the corresponding direction. Repeat this a second time, then scatter the ball as normal.
3 – Freezing – A sudden cold snap turns the ground as hard as granite (and not the astro variety the players are used to) When ever a player is knocked down add 1 to the result of the armor roll.
4-10 – Brisk – Its rather chilly, but it is as close as perfect to blood bowl weather that you can hope for at this time fo year. This counts as a “nice” result for purposes of changing weather result on the kick off table.
11 – Heavy Snow – Visibility is low, slippery underfoot. It is impossible to spot tripping hazards making it very difficult to block effectively. When ever a player makes a blitz action, their Movement is reduced by 1 for the duration of that action.
12 – Blizzard – Between the snow, the wind and the icy ground it is a miracle the game is in progress. Any player attempting to GFI will slip and be knocked down on a 1 or a 2, only quick and short passes may be attempted.

Example : My Chaos Chosen team has 13 points to spend. I take three Chaos Warriors with Block, the first costing 2 points and the next two costing 3 points each (total 8 points). I then take two Beastmen with Wrestle, the first costing me 1 point and the next two costing 2 points each (total 5 points). This leaves me with 2 points, with which I take a Tackle Beastman and an Extra Arms Beastman. 2+3+3+1+2+1+1 = 13.
