3 Round BB Tournament at CaptainCon
See Google Doc for Full Rules Packet
Registration will be open to all NAF members until we hit our capacity of 32 coaches. Pre-registration is required so that the con can allocate us appropriate space. They will take away space the closer we get to the date and allocate to other events, so the sooner you register the better!
Step 1: You need to have a badge for Captain Con through Tabletop Events
Captain Con Badges
Step 2: You need to get an event ticket through Tabletop Events
Event Information and Tickets
Step 3: Check your NAF membership status to make sure it is valid through 02/03/2024 or join the NAF (link on prior page). This is not optional.
Step 4: Simply e-mail robert.fossey@gmail.com, with your real name, Tabletop Events Username and Event Ticket Number, your NAF ID, team name, team race, & roster if it’s ready.
All pre-registrations will be processed in the order of event tickets purchased through Tabletop Events.
The more rosters I can check before the event, the quicker we can get rolling on the day of the event! So this year I am providing two free cheerleaders to those that provide rosters by Jan 15th.
Team Creation:
Teams will be created using the BB2020 Rules (including published GW errata through Nov 2023)
November 2023 FAQ/Errata
All 21 teams in the Blood Bowl 2020 Core Rulebook, the three remaining Teams of Legend, the Khorne, Amazon, Vampire, and Norse rosters from Spike, and the NAF recommended Slann team may be selected for tournament play.
Blood Bowl - Teams of Legend
Slann Rosters
Tier 1 Teams will be created utilizing 1.4M gold crowns and must contain 11 players before any inducements are purchased.
Amazons, Chaos Dwarves,rk DaElves, Dwarves, High Elves, Lizardmen, Norse, Shambling Undead, Underworld Denizens, Skaven, Wood Elves
Tier 2 Teams will be created utilizing 1.5M gold crowns and must contain 11 players before any inducements are purchased.
Chaos Chosen, Elven Union, Humans, Imperial Nobility, Khorne, Necromantic Horror, Orcs, Slann, Tomb Kings, Vampires
Tier 3 Teams will be created utilizing 1.6M gold crowns and must contain 11 players before any inducements are purchased.
Black Orc, Chaos Renegades, Halflings, Nurgle, Old World Alliance, Snotlings
Tier 4 Teams will be created utilizing 1.7M gold crowns and must contain 11 players before any inducements are purchased.
Goblins, Ogres
Prohibited Inducements: Star Players, Special Play Cards, (In)famous Coaching Staff, Wizard Inducements (as clarification this does not include the Weather Mage per the Core Rulebook but does include the Haemomancer in the Vampire Spike), Mercenaries (including Giants), Medicinal Unguent, and Side Bets are prohibited from purchase. Everything else in the Core Rulebook, Spike, and Death Zone is fair game.
Skills and Characteristic Improvements: These are to be purchased with your initial team treasury. A player may not be assigned more than 4 additional upgrades or more than 100,000 gp worth of upgrades. Furthermore, no player may increase more than two characteristics which must be separate (no double upgrades on the same stat) or increase a skill over the maximum allowed on p.28 of the BB rulebook. Costs are as follows:
Primary Skill - 20,000 gp
Secondary Skill - 40,000 gp
Armor +1 - 15,000 gp
Movement +1 - 20,000 gp
Passing +1 - 40,000 gp
Agility +1 - 60,000 gp
Strength +1 - 80,000 gp
Air it Out!: There’s not enough passing in this game. After your roster is finalized with spend, add the following:
Tier 1 - 1 Passing Skill (other than Leader) to a single player with Primary Pass skill access.
Tier 2 - 2 Passing Skills (other than Leader) to a single player with Primary Pass skill access.
Tier 3 - +PA and 2 Passing Skills to a single player with Primary Pass skill access.
Tier 4 - +PA and 3 Passing Skills to a single player with Primary Pass skill access.
If no player on your team has primary pass access you may then add to a player with Secondary Pass skill access. If no player on your team has Primary or Secondary Pass skill access (I’m looking at you Chaos Dwarf coaches) then add it to any player. These Air it Out allocations can bring a player over 4 advancements but can not bring a player above the maximum 6 advancements.
ALL skills MUST be noted on the team roster which is submitted to the Tournament Organizer at registration. Pro tip: Putting the added skills in BOLD font or highlighting them on your roster will help them to stand out.
Colored rubber bands or skill rings will keep the tournament moving along and are required. I will have some on hand if you need them.
Early Birds Get The Girls: Rosters submitted by Jan 15th at 11:59:59pm EST get 2 free cheerleaders! No rosters will be reviewed prior to December 15th. I’m looking at you Scott! |
