Team Building
Each Team has a total of 1,150,000gp to spend on roster creation and must hire a minimum of 11 Players.
Any GP unspent at roster creation are lost and all Teams are considered to have the same Current Team Value (CTV) for the purpose of inducements and prayers to Nuffle.
This is a resurrection tournament, no SPP are gained, and injuries, casualties or deaths do not carry on from one game to the next.
Players added to a Team roster mid game as a result of the Masters of Undeath or Plague Ridden special rule are removed from the roster at the end of the game and do not carry on to the next.
Permitted inducements are:
• Halfling Master Chef 0-1
• Bloodweiser Kegs 0-2
• Bribes 0-3 (Bribes cannot be taken in a Team with a Player that starts with, or is given the Sneaky Git Skill. Bribes gained from the ‘Get The Ref’ kick-off result are still allowed.)
• Wandering Apothecaries 0-2
• Mortuary Assistant 0-1
• Plague Doctor 0-1
• Rioutous Rookies 0-1
All other inducements including Star Players are not permitted unless indicated by the Tier Restrictions below.
Teams are separated into 1 of 5 Tiers and offered Tier specific skills packs (labeled A to D).
Each Team is permitted to stack 2 Primary Skills on a maximum of 1 Player at the cost of both 1 Primary Skill and 1 Secondary Skill. This can only be done once.
All skills must be chosen and cannot be random.
A Player who is assigned a secondary skill may choose to take a primary skill instead.
For Skill packs which allow star Players, the following Star Players have an additional skill cost as specified below:
• Griff Oberwald, Morg’N’Thorg: 3 Primary Skills
• Deeproot Strongbranch, Hakflem Skuttlespike, Kreek Rustgouger, Wilhelm Chaney: 1 Primary Skill
If the Team does not have enough skills available in the chosen skill pack to pay the above skill cost, that star Player cannot be taken.
Each star Player may only be included once in a Squad.
Star Players can only be induced after 11 Players have already been rostered.

Timekeeping
With a tight tournament schedule using a chess clock or similar for timekeeping is strongly recommended
When time is up if the game is still on going the players have 5 minutes to play until both players have played the same amount of turns.
If one of the two Coaches facing off requests that a chess clock is implemented this must be implemented immediately dividing the remaining minutes (rounding down) by 2.
We strongly recommend that a chess clock is implemented immediately if 60 minutes or less are left and at least one Coach is not in the 2nd turn of the 2nd half.
Once implemented chess clocks can only be paused by a referee.
Should a Coach’s time run out on the chess clock, during their turn, that Coach can only stand-up Players and turn stunned Players to the prone position.
If a Coach suspects that their opponent is wasting time, they are to call a referee immediately. |
