You may purchase any allowed inducements for your team, including ONE STAR PLAYER unless you are a stunty team (Ogres, Snotlings, Goblins, or Halflings) then you can take TWO STAR PLAYERS.
Note: If you are including a Star Player, you must have 11 players on your team BEFORE hiring them. Having 10 players plus a Star is not allowed.
Remember: You cannot have the same Star Player as your opponent. If both of you attempt to field the same player, then that star player has swindled you both!! Neither of you can field them. Also, you cannot use Igors or Apothecaries on Star Players.
**All new star players from the Second Season Edition and subsequent Spike Journals will be allowed. Second Season Edition has given Star Players each their own "Special Rule". If you have a Star Player on your roster, you are expected to explain the "Special Rule" to your opponent. Please use some kind of coin or marker to represent when the Star Player has spent his special, once per game rule.**
After team is built, you are given +200,000 gold pieces to buy Normal and/or Doubles skills

Secondary Skills cost 40,000 each
You may not purchase any stat upgrades
Your players may take up to Two additional skills
Your team may only take up to Four of each skill total
For instance, one Human Blitzer on your team may be given Mighty Blow and Dodge in addition to already having Block. Also for example, Four Dwarf Blockers may be given Guard, but you cannot give Guard to anyone else.
Foul Fest
The NAF referees union is on strike because they haven’t had a pay increase in decades and the fact that many of them die each year due to bad security. The owner of the local Blood Bowl stadiums decided that he didn’t care about the referees union’s strike and decided to hold a tournament anyway. The owner is maybe leaning into the fact that there aren’t going to be any official NAF referees a little too much and decided to call the tournament Foul Fest. They hired some scab referees but the owner told them to turn a blind eye on fouling unless it gets really bad out there.
Each match when a player gets caught fouling by rolling doubles on either the armor or injury roll while fouling, roll a D6 and on a 3+ the scab referees didn’t notice. On the result of a 1, or 2 the player was caught and is sent off as normal. Players sent off can still be saved by utilizing the Argue the Call rule and/or bribes which will be used as normal. In addition to that we will be using a special Kick Off Events Table instead of the one in the rule book. Also no weather results will need to be rolled at the beginning of the game because all of the games will be played in “State of the Art “domed stadiums.
Kick Off Events (Foul Fest) 1D8
1 – Scabs R Us – The scab referees are drunk on this drive and they want in on the action. Any player will be sent to the knock out box instantly if they get caught by a scab referee when fouling by rolling doubles on either result. No need to check to see if the Refs caught you this drive because they’re paying more attention. The referee hits the player over the head with a blunt object for breaking the rules. (You can’t argue the call or use a bribe because the player isn’t ejected) This lasts until the drive ends.
2 – Solid Defense – D3 + 3 open players on the kicking team may be removed and set up again in different locations, Since the scab referees don’t know the game very well you can place up to 3 players in each sideline area for this setup only.
3 – Loyal Fans – All the action has the fans overly excited, each coach rolls a D6 and adds the number of cheerleaders on their Roster. The coach with the highest result gets a free bribe for the game paid for by the fans of their team in attendance. If a tie then both teams get a bribe for the game.
4 – Don’t Quit Your Day Job – No self-respecting coach would bring their team to an event called Foul Fest, but here you are. Both coaches roll a D6 and add the number of assistant coaches on their Roster. The winner gets a free Special Team Re-Roll for the drive. This re-roll only works on a 3+. If a tie both of you get the Special Team Re-Roll.
5 – “State of the Art” Dome – There is no weather in this tournament because the owners have built makeshift domes over the stadiums. However the owners like to save money and cut some corners. One randomly selected player on each team that is currently set up is hit with some falling debris. That player is knocked down in their own square as if hit by a block action with Mighty Blow (+1) applied.
6 – Drunken Blitz – One open player on the kicking team (Their Choice) had a bit too much to drink. He’s been sent into a drunken rage by one of the opponents. That player must be able to reach and block an opponent player. If the player does not hit an opponent with a block by the end of this action they will be sent to the knock out box because they passed out drunk. If they fail a rush action to get to the opposing player to hit them they just fall there and the special blitz is over (failed Rush does not automatically send the player to the knockout box because they gave it their best try). The player has their skills changed to the following for just this special blitz turn: Dauntless, Brawler, Mighty Blow (+1), Dirty Player (+2), and Pile Driver. No other skills they have will be usable during this turn (including negative skills ie bonehead, really stupid, etc). Their stats will however remain the same. If the player successfully knocks down the opponent and it doesn’t result in that player being removed from the field they must use the Pile Driver skill after the block. No re-rolls other than the skills provided to the drunken player can be used in this special action.
7 – Rogue Wizard – A rogue wizard in the stands gets up and screams MAGIC MISSILE!!!! He then casts a Magic Missile on the Line of Scrimmage, each player touching the Line of Scrimmage must make a standard agility test with a +1 modifier. If they pass the test they manage to get out of the way of the missile and if they fail they get hit. Players that get hit are now prone and stunned.
8 – Drunken Fans – The fans have had too much to drink and are heckling the players. The players don’t appreciate the death threats they’re receiving from these lowly imbeciles and start taunting them to come out to the field and settle this. A rush of fans swarm the field trying to steal anything that isn’t nailed down, including the players protective gear. Roll for each player on the pitch. On a roll of a 6 that player had a piece of their gear stolen from them by a group of fans. They are -1 Armor for the rest of the drive.
