TEAM CREATION
Please note: This tournament is a practice event for coaches heading to the upcoming World Cup. Hence we are using the World Cup ruleset, without any recent exceptions we have integrated into other tournaments.
• Each team has a total of 1,150,000 gps to spend on roster creation and must hire a minimum of 11 players. Any unspent cash at roster creation will be lost and all teams will be considered having the same Current Team Value (CTV) for the purpose of inducements and prayers to Nuffle.
• Cash given is also used to buy rerolls, assistant coaches, cheerleaders, apothecaries and so on. Please note that as per BB2020 tournament rules, there is no/no free Dedicated Fans.
• The tourney is a resurrection tournament, so no SPPs are gained, and injuries, casualties or deaths do not carry on from one game to other.
• Undead, Necromantic and Nurgle teams are allowed to apply the Masters of Undeath and Plague Ridden special rules. Players added to a team roster through a game as a result of those special rules are removed from the roster at the end of that game.
• Teams will consist of a minimum of 11 players and a maximum of 16 players, including star players.
• Star players can only be induced after 11 regular players have already been rostered.
• Star players can’t be given extra skills from the team’s skill budget.
• If both opposing teams are fielding the same star player in a game, both star players are allowed to play.
TIERS AND SKILL SETS
Teams are separated in five different tiers and offered different skill sets to choose from.
Each team is permitted to stack 2 Primary Skills on a maximum of 1 player at the cost of both 1 Primary Skill and 1 Secondary Skill. If your team and skill set do not allow you to give Secondary Skills to your players, you’re not allowed to stack skills.

0-01 Morgue Assistant (100k)
0-01 Plague Doctor (100k)
0-01 Riotous Rookies (100k)

STAR PLAYERS
In case you’re considering adding a star player to your team, you will have to follow this rules:
• Star players can’t be given extra skills from the team’s skill set.
• New amazon star players published in Spike 15 or afterward are not allowed in the World Cup, as there’s not enough input about them right now. Amazon teams are allowed to use same star players they had before Spike 15 was published.
EXTRA CHARGE FOR CERTAIN STAR PLAYERS
Certain star players are so famous, glamorous or infamous that their teammates pay all their attention to them, forgetting to train properly and improve their own skills. So, in case you want to hire one of them for your team, you will have to “pay” some of the skills you got on your skillset to make up for this situation.
If you hire one of the following star players, you’ll have to reduce the mentioned skills from your skillsets.
Morn’N’Thorg = 3 Primary Skills
Griff Oberwald = 3 Primary Skills
Deeproot Strongbranch = 2 Primary Skills
Hakflem Skuttlespike = 2 Primary Skills
Kreek Rustgouger = 2 Primary Skills
Bomber Dribblesnot = 2 Primary Skills
Wilhelm Chaney = 1 Primary Skill
Examples:
• A Dwarf coach wants to hire Griff Oberwald. Being Tier 1, he chooses the Option C skill set and reduces 3 skills from it, getting 0 skills for his team (and paying Griff’s fee too: it doesn’t mean he doesn ́t have to pay gp for him)
• A Goblin coach wants to hire Bomber Dribblesnot for his team. He chooses the Option C skill set and reduces 2 skills from it, getting 4 Primary Skills.
• A Halfling coach wants to hire Morg’N’Thorg and Griff Oberwald for his team. He chooses the Option D skill set, that allows him to have 2 star players on the team. But as that skill set just gives him 4 primary skills, and he would have to reduce it by 6, it’s not allowed to hire both of these particular star players.
SCORING:
Scoring is as follows:
• WIN: 5 points
• DRAW: 2 points
• LOSE: 0 points
• CONCESSION: -10 points or 10 negative points (it will be considered as a 3-0 touchdowns and 3-0 casualties, both for the opposing team)
Tiebreakers:
1. Opponent score
2. Net TDs
3. Net CAS (ALL casualties caused through a game are counted, e.g. failed dodges, secret weapons, crowd surfs and so on)
