The Blood Bowl NE1? Podcast presents - Monster Bash 2022. - 20 November 2022
“It's close to kick off and something evil's lurking on the field. Under the flood lights you see a sight that almost stops your heart. You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it, you start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes, you're paralyzed and no one's gonna save you from the beast about to Blitz!
Once a year monsters, beasts and supernatural creatures rise from their dark places. They are drawn to the mayhem, destruction and carnage of one very special event. Banners are raised for the teams courageous enough to make the trip. Witches pull out and dust off their crystal balls, tuning into cabal vision so they do not miss the action. As is tradition, the scariest looking monsters, judged worthy, get to join their favourite team as a good luck charm. Hopefully inspiring their heroes on to glory and the trophy they all seek.
For this is the Monster Bash”
Monster Bash 2022 is a one day, three-match resurrection style tournament. This means all players return to their starting status after each game regardless of any events which may have occurred in a preceding match. The first matchups between coaches will be drawn randomly with the remainder based on the Swiss tournament format.
• Points
o 30 per win
o 10 per draw
o 0 per loss
o Bonus points (Max 1 bp per game)
1 bonus point for winning by 2+ TD
1 point for gaining 3+ CAS
1 Point for your Mascot Providing a reroll in both halves of the match.
Final standings will be ranked using a system of tiebreakers in the following order:
• Points
• Strength of schedule
• Net TD’s & CAS
Team building
Each coach is allocated 1,150,000 gold coins to spend on team building. Team building includes purchasing players, staff, rerolls, permitted inducements and dedicated fans. All normal rules for team building apply and you are required to have 11 players before adding a star player to any team. Although star players and their special rules are permitted, they are limited based on your races tier and the fact that only certain star players have shown an interest in competing in the tournament.
“Upon hearing of the Monster Bash, Ogre star player Morg N Thorg, who rather famously is not a fan of the undead, registered his dissatisfaction of the event with the NAF. When they went against his wishes and decided to allow the event to go ahead, Morg called together all the star players he could find. (and knew the name of) Then, after putting across his side of the story, presenting his argument against the event and debating the issues in a calm and sophisticated manner, Morg banned all of the star players present from attending the event on pain of death.”
All inducements including those from Spike Magazines and Death zone publications are allowed unless stated otherwise. Inducements and stars which are not permitted are as follows:
• Star Players - Morg N Thorg, Griff Oberwald, Hakflem Skuttlespike, Deeproot, The White Dwarf.
• Mercenaries. (This includes both the mercenaries from the 2020 rules and the Fabulous Freebooters in Death Zone)
• Wizards
• Stadiums
• Sponsors
If Riotous Rookies are hired they are rolled before each match, please ensure you have painted miniatures for the extra journeymen, which can be identified as the rookies.
As is tradition at Monster Bash each coach gets a free monster to join their squad, maybe scare the opposing coach and hopefully add some luck to the proceedings. This monster takes the form of a mascot (rules for a mascot are on page 39 of the Death zone rule book) for the entirety of the tournament. The monster mascot is free and does not count towards team value for the purpose of team building. You must provide a painted model to represent your mascot.
Upgrades
All skills are chosen and are not allowed to be random.
Only tier 4 teams have access to stat increases, however you can only choose to take a stat increase at the cost of a star player spot. For example a Halfling coach could take two star players or one star player and one stat increase or two stat increases only. They can’t take two stars and two increases.
Stacking is not allowed and all players can only have one skill increase regardless of tier. (including stat increases)
