“Welcome to this final of Dungeon Bowl, where magic flows freely, while two colleges send out their best players to try and find the ball and score that super important goal to take home the most desirable trophy. What do you think about tonight’s game, Bob?”
“The ball is round, Jim.”
“Good answer, your insights are always valuable, Bob.”
“I like the chests, Jim. Treasure hunting is always fun.”
“This year they have added extra chests to make it extra exiting and hard to find the ball, Bob. There are also rumours that there are more magical effects hidden in them as well.”
“It sounds like they also released the savage werewolf, Jim.”
“There are the starting explosions, Bob. The search for for the ball is underway.”
“We also see all the players on our screens, Jim.”
“Yes, Bob. Cabalvision has magically conjured a third eye onto all players and we see all that they see. As you notice, some player’s screens are already black.”
“Do they have their eyes closed, Jim?”
“Forvever, Bob.”
“Look Jim, that cow has two heads.”
“Mmmmmm.. I also think that those razor sharp teeth are not normal, Bob. Lionel Freshbreeze, who players for the College of Life, just became two half-elves.”
“There aren’t that many players left, Jim.”
“You are right, Bob. I see that Corden Burtfender from the College of Fire just found the chest with the ball, but there is some kind of saliva dripping from it.”
“Have we seen the werewolf in a while, Jim?”
KERRRRUNCH!!!
“I think we just did, Bob. All screens are black and as is usual in Dungeon Bowl, the results are 0-0.”
“This is what I love about Blood Bowl, Jim. Sometimes we get an early lunch.”
We will have yet another Blood Bowl tournament at GothCon.
It will be a one-day tournament with four qualifying rounds (played in traditional Blood Bowl format). The four top teams will be transported into a dungeon filled with all kinds of chests and monsters and will battle if out to see who will be crowned the winner of the GothBowl trophy (in a four-team Dungeon Bowl game). Each coach will play the same team throughout the whole tournament.
Player limit: We must limit ourselves to 24 players.
Tournament fee: Nothing on top of the GothCon entry fee, which is at 250SEK.
Prizes: We’ll see what the tournament organizers manage to cook up.
Registration: Shall be done via the GothCon registration form for the tournament. This can be done at http://www.gothcon.se
This will be a long day and we will take enough breaks to get through the full day. Ensure that you have something to drink, water or other drink to last the day.

The tournament will be played in a 4 round Swiss resurrection format. This means that the team roster is reset between each round.
If two coaches in a match-up have hired the same Star Player, Nuffle has granted the wizards the ability to clone the Star Player and he will play independently in both teams.
Each game will be scored in the following way:
3 points for a win
1 point for a draw
1 point for scoring 3+ TD
1 point for making 3+ CAS
1 point for 0 TD scored against you
Winner will be the coach with most tournament points.
Tiebreakers will be head-to-head, net TD, net CAS
Rule Enforcement Level is regular, so any rules questions should be resolved between the playing coaches first, then if still unclarity or no agreement reached, contact event judge(s). If a serious error has occurred, game will be reset to before the incident. This will be based on judges discretion.

Your team, painted to what is commonly called table-top standard.
