The OctOgre Cup
The teams from the Ogre Kingdoms and surrounding areas have gathered to decide who is the greatest of them all.
The bitter winds howl through the mountains as the teams battle to the remote stadium.
Strange energies swirl in the mist as the brave souls enter the arena.
A voice so deep it rattles the very souls of all who hear it booms out
“WELCOME! WELCOME TO THE OCTOGRE CUP. ONLY THE STRONGEST AND FASTEST CAN SURVIVE”
The stands are full of Ogres desperate to see their kin show the other races their skills.
If they see a team with no big guys they get incensed and will take to the field to prove that Ogres are the best!
Team Building
All teams get a starting treasury of 1,150,000 gp which can be used to buy players, sideline staff, rerolls and inducements. If a team is able to hire a st5+ player they MUST do so.
0-1 Star Players may be hired after 11 rostered players are purchased. However we will operate a Highlander rule so if your opponent has the same star player then neither gets to use it.
In addition to this the following Mega Star Players are so famous (infamous) that your team go all fan boy/girl/thing and forget to train properly for the tournament. To hire the following Mega Stars you must pay 18 spp from your allocation and stacking of skills is no longer allowed.
Mega Stars
Bomber Dribblesnot
Cindy Piewhistle
Deeproot Strongbranch
Griff Oberwald
Hakflem Skuttlespike
Kreek ‘The Verminator’ Rustgouger
Morg ‘n’ Thorg

Special Tournament Rules.
OGRE THE TOP
After each setup but before placing the ball for the kick off check if either team is NOT fielding a st5+ player. If not then the following occurs, the team without a st5+ player randomly selects a player on their team. They are removed from the field of play and placed in the KO box. Their place is taken by an Drunk Ogre Fan with the following stats
DRUNK OGRE FAN
MA 4: ST5 AG 5+ PA - AV 9+ Mighty Blow 1+, Bonehead, No Hands, Animal Savagery, Ball And Chain, Loner 6+,
At the end of the drive the Drunk Ogre Fan returns to their place in the stands.
OGRE AND OUT
If a player is pushed or thrown into the crowd add an additional +1 to the Injury roll as the Ogre fans are even more violent than a normal crowd.
Pitch Rules
The pitches of the OctOgre Cup are nothing more than some lines painted on the rough mountain plateau. Every time a ball bounces it moves twice rather than once. Roll a d8 twice. The ball can be caught between bounces.
OctOgre Weather Table
2
GALE FORCE WINDS:
The wind is unbelievably strong, making passing play impossible and even affecting the kick off! Whilst this weather condition is in effect, ignore step 2 of the Start of Drive sequence - it is not possible for a kick-off to be resolved and a touchback is automatically caused instead.
Additionally, whilst this weather condition is in effect, no Pass or Throw Team-mate actions can be performed.
3
VERY SUNNY:
A glorious day,but the clear skies and bright sunlight interfere with the passing game! Apply a -1 modifier every time a player tests against their Passing Ability
4-10
PERFECT CONDITIONS(well, almost):
It’s rather chilly and it’s threatening to rain (or snow), but considering the time of year, the conditions are almost perfect for Blood Bowl
11
BLIZZARD:
Freezing conditions and heavy falls of snow make the footing treacherous. Apply a -1 modifier every time a player attempts to Rush an extra square.
Additionally, the poor visibility means that only Quick and Short passes can be attempted
12
ICE STORM:
It is extremely cold, so cold in fact that it is raining literal lumps of ice! The ice on the pitch is so treacherous that none of the players are willing to hurry, no matter how much their coach shouts! Apply a -1 modifier every time a player attempts to Rush an extra square.
Additionally, all players on the pitch subtract 1 from their MA.
