The TR Trophy 2023
The TR Trophy takes over from the Red Trophy as our annual two-day NAF Registered Blood Bowl tournament based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. This will be even bigger and better than before, and will take place on Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th June 2023.
Venue
The TR Trophy will be held at a new venue based close to us in High Wycombe which we are finalising with a much larger capacity, however in the interim we are releasing early tickets based on our High Street store capacity. (I.e. we are opening only sufficient ticket sales to run the event in store if for whatever reason there is an issue with our venue booking.)
Cost
Tickets for NAF members are £45. PLEASE BE AWARE OF OUR REFUND POLICY -
Refund Policy
We cannot process refunds for any ticket cancellations that occur within 30 days prior to the event start date. Please ensure you are able to attend and are committed to the date before booking your ticket, it helps us run a smoother tournament and means we are not losing out having to refund late drop outs.
Additionally, please note, you MUST be a member of the NAF in order to play at the TR Trophy. There is NO provision to sign up on the day.

RULES
Welcome to The TR Trophy!
The TR Trophy will be using the Blood Bowl Second Season Edition (or Blood Bowl 2020 as it is commonly known) rules, along with the “Teams of Legend” PDF and the designers' Errata which can be found over on the official Blood Bowl website, as well as the inclusion of the Slann team, which may be found under the NAF's “Rules For Tournaments 2021” document. "Daemons of Khorne" will no longer be a permitted roster due to being superseded by the official GW Khorne team.
Team Building:
Teams competing at The TR Trophy are made of highly trained, world renowned and completely insane Blood Bowlers. As such, coaches are given a generous starting gold pieces allowance of 1,200,000 for the purposes of selecting players, re rolls, sideline staff and purchasing any inducements permitted. This is completely separate from the inclusion of additional skills, which will be covered below.
Inducements:
Star Players are not permitted except for the following teams, who may take ONE star player after a full 11 of regular team players have been rostered -
Goblins
Halflings
Snotlings
Ogres
The only other inducements permitted are Bloodweiser Kegs, Halfling Master Chefs, and Bribes, which are paid for out of the 1,200,000 gold pieces referenced above prior to the tournament. No inducements are able to be purchased at the table, so spend that gold!
Additional Skills:
Once you have fully purchased your team as described above, you may distribute additional skills amongst your players. A coach may select ONE of the following two skill packages:
8 Primary Skills OR
5 Primary Skills and 2 Secondary Skills
A maximum of two skills may be stacked onto the same player (including both Secondary skills if you wish). Aside from this, there are no other limitations such as limits on duplicate skills etc. Statistic increases are not an option, otherwise... they'd be listed above...
ROSTER SUBMISSION:
Rosters must be submitted before midnight on Friday 9th June 2023, by e-mail to contact@tabletoprepublic.com
PLEASE NOTE - Timely roster submission will be the first tiebreaker.
All teams must be painted with at least 3 colours and be comprised of appropriate fantasy miniatures which reflect the positionals they are intended to represent.
