https://www.thenaf.net/tournaments/nafdocs/
• The blood bowl pitch has been enclosed by a high and sturdy cage! Use the Cage Match special rule:
Cage Match: The pitch is surrounded by a high and sturdy cage. Spectators sit high above the pitch, looking down upon the action below. Players cannot be pushed or thrown into the crowd for any reason. Rather than being pushed into the crowd, a pushed back player is instead slammed with great force into the cage and is Knocked Down in the square they occupy with a +2 added to their armor roll (cannot be further modified).
In addition, the ball cannot bounce into the crowd. Instead of bouncing into the crowd and being thrown-in, the ball will bounce off a wall of the cage. Use the Throw-in template to determine the direction as normal, but rather than travel 2D6 squares, the ball bounces only one square away from the wall before coming to rest. Kick-offs are still high enough to travel into the crowd per normal rules.
• The Cage Match crowd is a rowdy one. On each kick-off, use the Ale-fuelled Maniacs crowd attribute from pg. 65 of Death Zone (2021).
• The Cage Match overseer is not without mercy. Each team will receive one additional apothecary for use in the game. The Cage Match apothecary isn't trained as well as the team apothecary, however. When attempting to use the apothecary, roll a D6:
1-4: The apothecary works as normal.
5: The player is Knocked Out instead of being revived.
6: The player is killed and removed from play.
• Post-match sequences will be ignored.
• Illegal procedures will not be called.
• Player injuries and casualties reset after each game (Resurrection Rules)
• 2-hour 15-minute round time-limits will be enforced. Once only 1 hour remains, players each have 30-minute timers to complete the game. After your time is up, only your blitzer / ball-carrier can be moved until the end of the game.
• Overtime will NOT be played.
TEAM CREATION:
All Coaches are required to draft teams utilizing the Exhibition Play Rules found on pg. 101 of the Blood Bowl Rule Book. Coaches are allotted 1,250,000 Gold to draft a team.

Each Coach will have a number of POINTS by TIER to purchase Primary Skills, Secondary Skills, Star Players and Mega Stars as presented on pages 13 & 14 in the Games Workshop Matched Play Guide.
• Tier 1 = 6 Points // Tier 2 = 8 Points // Tier 3 = 10 Points
