Rules
Blood Bowl Second Season (2020) Rule Set
All Races in the Rulebook, Teams of Legend Document, & NAF additional
Special Play Cards will not be used
All injuries reset after each game
Apothecaries work as described in the Rulebook
Illegal Procedure can be shouted but will not be penalized
You are given 1,200,000 gold pieces to build your team. You may purchase players, rerolls, fan factor, coaches, and cheerleaders as normal with this money
Wizards, Journeymen, Special Play cards of any kind, Mercenaries...... and the Halfling Hot Pot are NOT ALLOWED with the exception of GIANTS (first time for everything).
You may purchase any other inducements for your team, including Star Players!!! Note: If you are including a Star Player or a GIANT, you must have 11 players on your team BEFORE hiring them. Having 10 players plus a Star or GIANT is not allowed. ***Remember*** You can not have the same Star Player as your opponent. If both of you attempt to field the same player, then that star player has swindled you both!! Neither of you can field them. Also, you cannot use Igors or Apothecaries on Star Players.
**All new star players from the Second Season Edition and subsequent Spike Journals will be allowed. Second Season Edition has given Star Players each their own "Special Rule". If you have a Star Player on your roster, you are expected to explain the "Special Rule" to your opponent. Please use the Chaos Cup Coin to represent when the Star Player has spent his special, once per game rule.**
Being the NAF North American Major and the move towards Tiering... we will now be tiering races and providing Star Player Points for skills based on the tier that race is in - as follows:
Tier 1 teams get 42 SPP to spend:
Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Human, High Elf, Lizardmen, Necromantic Horror, Norse, Orcs, Shambling Undead, Skaven, Underworld Denizens, Wood Elf
Tier 2 teams get 54 SPP to spend:
Black Orc, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegade, Elven Union, Imperial Nobility, Khorne, Nurgle, Old World Alliance, Slann, Snotlings, Tomb Kings, Vampire
Tier 3 teams get 66 SPP to spend:
Goblin, Halfling, Ogre
Primary Skills are 6 SPP / Secondary Skills are 12 SPP. No Stat increases. Maximum four (4) of any skill type. You may put a second Primary skill on a player, but it counts as a Selected Primary Skill (may not put a Secondary Skill and Primary on one player - may not add skills to Star Players). A single player with TWO Primary Skills will cost 14 SPP.
Star Players - in addition to their hiring fee - cost you an extra 12 SPP Due to popularity and market demand... Current GW MEGA STARS (see current FAQ) Bomber Dribblesnot, Deeproot Strong Branch, Morg n Thorg, Griff Oberwald, Hackflem Skuttlespike and Kreek Rustgouger cost 18 SPP (not 12)
SCHEDULE
*If you are NOT at your table when the time starts the round, your opponent will decide who KICKS/RECEIVES*

DICE
You must use the Chaos Cup 2023 D6’s you received in each of your games
You may use your own block dice provided they are from GW or the NAF (dice sharing is back on the table)
CHAOS ROUND
Before Round 6, but after you know who you are playing, you may award 2 mutations to your team
The players gaining the mutations must be the lineman position type (0-12 or 0-16) on your team and cannot have been given an additional skill increase for the tournament already.
You must clearly mark which players have which mutation and make sure your opponent knows what you have chosen before the game begins
If your team race is a CHAOS, CHAOS PACT, NURGLE, or KHORNE team, you are an exception to the above “Linemen only” rule for awarding mutations. You can still only award a mutation to a player that has not yet received an upgrade, but it can be any player type, not just 0-12 / 0-16
In addition, everyone will get a chance to have Cipactlicihuatl the Lustrian Lycanthrope on their roster so long as the roster has an open slot available:
Cipactlicihuatl aka CiCi - Lustrian Lycanthrope: Coaches will determine Amazon or Saurus form after finding out opponent’s race but before seeing the roster…CiCi will change form to the alternate version at half time
One HALF - Saurus Form
MA6, ST4, AG5+, PA 6+, AV 10+ Skills: Block, Mighty Blow, Frenzy & LONER (3+)
One HALF - Amazon Form
