Theme
Cripple Peak is the mountain that mighty necromancer, Nagashazeer, once resided on. Under the mountain is a massive amount of warpstone. Currently, the Skaven are in control of the mountain. Nagash has left due to geopolitical constraints. (He needs to pull himself together.) The Skaven Council of 13 has decreed that only the most worthy of the attention of the Great Horned Rat will be allowed into the deepest recesses of the mountain with the highest concentration of warpstone. And, of course, the most worthy would be determined by a Blood Bowl competition. The Council wanted to exclude all other races from the competition, but due to licensing and advertising contracts, they were forced to accept applicant teams from other races. Clan Eshin was selected to organize this year’s competition.
Important Notes
Inducements will be selected during each round based on difference in team values and bidding.
This tournament is a touchdown race.

General Rules
Please consult the Rules for NAF Tournaments document. If you have questions please contact the Tournament Organizer before the event. The contents of that link will be used unless stated below. Many rules were written with the idea to produce high scoring and exciting games. Exhibition rules will be used unless exceptions are stated below.
Food Breaks
There are no designated food breaks due to the late start and playing at a location with food available all day. It is BBQ, please consider cleanliness when ordering and eating!
Team Building Rules
Slann/Kislev rosters are available to use. You will have 1,000K gold pieces to buy your team. You may purchase players, rerolls, dedicated fans, apothecary, coaches, cheerleaders, and inducements with this gold. You must have 11 or more players at this point.
Then, you may add up to 200k team value in improvements.
You may assign no more than two improvements per player.
You may not assign the same improvement to more than four players.
Random skills are not allowed.
You may select stat improvements.
Weather And Kickoff Table
Games will be played in large caverns under Cripple Peak. All games will be played with good weather conditions. The Kickoff Table at the end of the rules pack will be used.
Inducements
All current published GW inducements are allowed except Fabulous Freebooters and special play cards.
Blood Soaked Pitch
If your opponent suffers a casualty for any reason (before an apothecary or Regeneration is used), you become blessed by the Great Horned Rat. While you have the horn of the Great Horned Rat, you may add +1 to ANY D3 and D6 rolls while resolving the kick-off event.
Resurrection
At the end of each round of the tournament, all players are healed of any injuries and dead players come back to life. All earned star player points are lost.
Special Rules (Important to read!)
Clan Eshin is aiding each team with skullduggery and magical disguise. A single positional player (hired normally) with no assigned skills is magically disguised as a lineperson (0-12 or 0-16 positional) with no skills. An unskilled lineperson should be added to the completed roster for free. Before each game the coach records and hides the player number of the fake lineperson. An extra lineperson model is required. The lineperson of the recorded number is fake and does not actually exist. This disguised player MUST follow all rules of its true stats and skills and does not gain any abilities the lineperson would have that the positional does not. If the player EVER behaves in a manner not congruent with its appearance the disguise fails and the model is replaced by a model of the correct positional. I will use a Gutter Runner for several examples. The Gutter Runner is not revealed if it rolls a 3 to pick up the ball in the open, but it is revealed if it rolls a 2. That same Gutter Runner would be revealed if it uses Dodge or when it moves 8 squares and does not have to roll to Rush. (A coach can not choose to roll to Rush if it is not needed.) If the Gutter Runner is blocked by strength 4 (after assists) it is not revealed, but if it’s blocked by strength 5 it is revealed and three block dice are rolled.
Time
Once the tournament official calls time, the active coach will finish the current turn. If the opposing coach has had fewer turns, that coach will get one full turn.
Dice
GW or NAF Block Dice only
You must be willing to share dice with your opponent.
You and your opponent should decide before the match which dice will be used.
Agree before the game on cocked dice, dice off the table, etc, please just be consistent.
Other Rules
Play till the whistle blows. There is no championship game. The standings will solely be determined by total points. In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Illegal Procedure will not be called. Overtime will not be played in any round.
Painting
All teams are expected to meet the minimum painted guidelines. The coach must attempt to make all figures appear finished. Each figure should also be identifiable so that the opponent can know their position and skills by viewing the miniature and the roster.
Scoring
After each round, you will enter your match results at http://bugmansbowl.com/coach for the game just completed. There will be physical sheets provided for the coaches own record. If there are technical difficulties these sheets will be used by the organizer.
Per match
Win/Draw/Loss = 30/20/10
+10 points per Touchdown
+1 point per Casualty caused by Blocking
+2 point if you submit a correct and legible game report before the Tournament Organizer calls time
After the last round, one of:
+2 point if you have your accepted roster, entry fee, and registration received three weeks before event
+1 point if you have your accepted roster, entry fee, and registration received one week before event
Awards
To win an award the coach must play in all rounds. Tiebreakers will be determined by the Tournament Organizer as needed. The Tournament Organizer reserves the right to adjust the winners in the best interest of the tournament. (For example, if a coach would win two awards one of the awards may be given to another coach.) If the Tournament Organizer plays because there is an odd number of attendees, they are not eligible for any award except Throtling.
Champion - First place team in standings with the most overall points
Runner-up - Second place team in standings with the most overall points
Throtling - Coach that finished lowest in standings with the fewest overall points
Pack Master - Player who received the most best sport votes
Biggest Rat - Team who received the most fan favorite votes
Gutter Runner - Team that scored the most TDs
Rat Ogre - Team that caused the most Casualties from Blocking
Storm Vermin - Team that suffered the least Casualties from Blocking
Sportsmanship
We are here for the fun of the game. Sportsmanship is not only encouraged from the coaches, it is required! We all have bad luck occasionally, but bad behavior will be addressed by the Tournament Organizer.
Fouling 16 turns in a row, stalling, or running up the score is not poor sportsmanship, but gloating and ridiculing your opponent is.
The Last Word
The Tournament Organizer will be the final arbitrator for any interpretation of the rules. The rules may change without notice. Please check the version number.
KICKOFF TABLE
Roll 2D12 and consults the following events
2
Get the Ref: as normal
3
Time-out: as normal
4
Solid Defense: as normal
5
High Kick: as normal
6
Cheering Fans: as normal
7
The Red Crucifix provides charitable support to each team. Each team receives 1 additional Apothecary, Mortuary Assistant, or Plague Doctor (choosing from what is normally available to the race) to use during this game
8
Skaven Riot: Both teams lose a turn. This can end the current half.
9
Telekinesis: The kicking team can pick where the ball lands. It will bounce as normal.
10
Telekinesis: The receiving team can pick where the ball lands. It will bounce as normal.
11
Distracting Hordes: The press of the Skaven masses is strong enough to push a couple of rats over the railing into the dugout. Each coach rolls a D3 and adds the number of cheerleaders on their team. The lowest total loses a reroll. If both teams have the same total, both teams lose a reroll.
12
Twelfth Man: Each coach may move a player from the reserves into the endzone they are defending.
13
The Great Horned Rats Blessing: For this drive, all injury rolls from blocks, fouls, and the crowd have +1, but all other injury rolls have -1.
14
Crappy Coaching: Each coach rolls a D3 and adds the number of assistant coaches on their team. The lowest total loses a reroll. If both teams have the same total, both teams lose a reroll. If a coach has been ejected while arguing the call, apply a -1 to the D3 roll.
15
Trip: Each player on the line of scrimmage for the receiving team may take a block action, following all normal rules for a block, except that player may not follow up.
16
Skitterleap: A Warplock in the crowd decides to take matters into his own hands. A player on the pitch from the kicking team chosen by the kicking coach is teleported. Locate the player as if it were a ball kicked with the Kick skill. If the player ends up off the pitch, it is beaten up by the fans as if it was pushed into the crowd. If the new location is occupied both players are Knocked Down and the teleported player “bounces.” All players “bounced” onto are Knocked Down. If the player appears in an unoccupied square they must make an agility check with a -1 applied for each opposing tackle zone.
17
Throw a Chunk of Warpstone: An enraged fan hurls a chunk of warpstone at one of the players on the opposing team. Each coach rolls a D6 and adds their Fan Factor. A random player on the pitch of the coach(es) with the lowest total is KOed AND gains a mutation of the KOed coach’s choice for the rest of this match.
18
Littermates: Each coach may sneak a twin of any of his players into the reserve box and remove the former player from their current location. (This can remove a player from the pitch, but more importantly it can appear to heal a player currently in the KO or injured boxes.
19
Ball Breaker: When the ball lands, it breaks in half. Roll the bounce for each half of the ball. A player may only have one ball at a time. If a loose ball enters the square of the other ball it will bounce away. If either ball would score a touchdown, the drive ends.
