Stig turns to Bucky and says “I mean blood bowl is great, and nothing is better than watching 2 teams smash each other to pieces while a ball is eventually remembered and ran down field, but it takes so long for each half that I almost sober up!”
“Well, what if halves were shorter? I feel that whole planning and thinking thing just ruins the chaos that is intended. You don’t see trolls worrying about the finer tactics of throwing and dodging, the play on instinct!” Bucky replies.
“You know what, you are right, lets set up our own tournament, with stupidly short turns for short attention spans” shouts Stig, and so “2 Minutes to Think Right!” was conceived….
FORMAT
Round 1 will be drawn randomly but subsequent rounds will use the Swiss matchmaking method.
Each coach will have only 2 MINUTES to play each turn (see below for details).
Matches will be played under the Resurrection format.
Scoring will be:
20 pts for a win
10 pts for a draw
-50 for a concede
Tiebreakers:
Total score
Opponents score (strength of schedule)
Net TD + NET CAS
If there is still a tie a coin toss will decide the winner.
Only SSP Generating casualties will count towards NET casualties.
SPEED BOWL
• Each coach will have 2 Minutes for their turn and for set up.
• Players will be expected to track their own time, phone stop clocks are recommended
• At end of 2 min turn ends immediately with following exceptions:
o If the initial throw has been rolled then the rest of the pass sequence must be completed including interception and catch.
o Scatters must be resolved, including attempted catches.
o Armour and injury rolls must be completed.
o 2nd blocks of a Frenzy if the first has already been rolled.
o Stunned players are rolled face up.
• The following specific examples will not be completed:
o Bribe or Argue the call if a foul has been caught by the referee
o Continuation of movement of an activated payer (be it normal or 'special' such as an Amazons ability)
o A player may not follow up a block
Reasons to Pause
• Opponent making a decision. These include:
o Deciding who to try an interception with
o On the Ball Movement
o Dump Off passes
o Choice of optional skills (e.g. Stand Firm, Side Step, etc)
• Consulting the rules when needed (i.e. Skill checks)
Set Up
• 2 minutes for set up.
• If the coach has set up less than 11 players, then they may not add the additional players and must play the drive short handed
• If players are in an illegal set up position it will be resolved as:
o Less than 3 players on Line of Scrimage: Opponent will choose a player for the coach to place on the line of scrimmage
o More than 2 players in a wide zone: Opponent will choose a player for the coach to place in their own end zone
• If a coach has too many players on the field, then randomly chosen players are placed in the reserves until only 11 remain. This may result in an illegal set up (less than 3 players on the line of scrimmage).
Additional instances may arise and Tournament Organisers will rule on these on the day and make all aware for consistency.
Dice cups are recommended as timers will not be stopped to chase lost dice!
TEAM BUILDING
Each team will have 1.15 million (TV 1150) to create a team as per the rules from the Blood Bowl rule book and using the teams from the Blood Bowl Rulebook, Spike magazines, Teams of Legend and NAF (for Slann only) documents.
A team must have a minimum of 11 rostered players (before counting stars)

• Bloodweiser kegs (max 2)
• Riotous Rookies (max 1)

There are 5 Tiers, which will determine the available Points to purchase skills.
No player may have more than 1 skill. Skills are purchased from the table below and have an increased cost for any specific skill after the first with examples below:
Example A – 1 block player = 3 points
Example B – 2 block players = 7 points
Example C – 3 block players = 11 points

Example E – 2 block players, 1 dodge player = 10 points
