From 11:00 am – 7:30 pm
Folks come from far and wide to watch the great sport of Blood Bowl, but alas some of the best at the game, so-called Star Players, never seem to make it onto the pitch! It’s time we threw them a party . . . a pity party! This tournament ruleset will incentivize rostering some of the lesser-taken Star Players. See the Star Play/skill selection section for specifics.
Each coach is expected to bring the following to successfully compete in the Pity Bowl:
• 4 copies of their team roster (see “Roster Creation” below)
• NAF or Games Workshop Block Dice and a D8
• Their team & players, each appropriately numbered with easily distinguished positions and upgraded skills. Unpainted models will be allowed, but painted teams are preferred
• A pitch and dug outs (not required, but if you have a pitch/dug outs please bring them with you to ensure we have enough!)
Cost:
• $10 for NAF members
• $20 for non-NAF members ($10 will go towards a year-long NAF membership)
Agenda:
11:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m., Registration
11:30 a.m. – 1:45 p.m., First Round
1:45 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., Lunch Break
2:30 p.m. – 4:45 p.m., Second Round
4:45 p.m. – 6:45 p.m., Third Round
7:00 p.m. - Awards Ceremony
Tournament Rules:
All games of the Pity Bowl will be played using the rules from the Blood Bowl 2020 Rulebook and available teams include those in the 2020 Rulebook and NAF additional tournament teams (Slann).
Resurrection style – all injuries/deaths are healed in between games.
Roster Creation:
You are given 1,200,000 gold pieces to build your team. You may purchase players, rerolls, dedicated fans, coaches, and cheerleaders as normal with this money.
Wizards, Journeymen, Special Play cards, and Mercenaries are NOT allowed
You may purchase any other inducements for your team, including 0-2 Star Players (see below), as described in the Blood Bowl 2020 rulebook or Deathzone supplement. Any gold pieces left over after roster creation are lost and may not be further spent on skills.
STAR PLAYERS: Star Players may count towards your minimum roster size of 11. I.e., you may have 10 players plus a Star Player and be legal. The Highlander rule is NOT in effect.
**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.
Skill Selection:
Each team is given a skill selection package based on the following Tier structure, presence of a Star Player, and finally modified by the “Spreading the Wealth” rule as described by paragraphs A, B, and C below. Any team may upgrade any number of Primary Skills into Secondary Skills at a 2:1 ratio, i.e,use 2 Primary Skill slots to take one Secondary Skill. No stat increases may be taken and Star Players may not be given any skills. Otherwise, you may choose to stack as many skills on any player as you like.
