WHERE AND WHEN
The BBAM BOWL! is a NAF-sanctioned Blood Bowl tournament will take place at The Comic Hunter, which is located at 321 St. George St in Moncton. The tournament will run from 10h00 AM to 6h00 PM on October 28th. The awards ceremony will be held after the tournament at the Laundromat bar, situated at 382 St. George St, just a short 5 minutes’ walk from the Comic Hunter. It is organized by the Blood Bowl Moncton Association (BBAM).
NAF-SANCTIONED
NAF-sanctioned means that the tournament has been officially recognized and approved by the NAF, which stands for Nuffle Amorical Football. The NAF is an international association of Blood Bowl players that maintains records of games played to create a global Blood Bowl ranking.
BBAM BOWL participants are encouraged to join the NAF as members before the event. By becoming members, players can contribute to the international Blood Bowl ranking and become part of the wider Blood Bowl community. More information about the NAF and membership details can be found on their website: https://www.thenaf.net/.
COST
The BBAM BOWL adopts a pay-what-you-can approach with a suggested cost of $15. Participants can make their payments via e-transfer at bloodbowlmoncton@gmail.com (password: bloodbowl). The funds collected will be used to cover the costs of prizes and organizing future tournaments.
ROSTER RULESET
2023 NAF World Cup Ruleset: The BBAM BOWL will follow the official 2023 NAF World Cup ruleset for rosters and inducements (https://www.thenaf.net/.../12/Ruleset-NWC-Alicante-2023.pdf).
Roster Registration on Tourplay: All participating coaches must join our Tourplay tournament (link coming) and register their rosters on the platform one week before the event (by October 21st). The BBAM will review the registered rosters and provide approval. In case any changes are necessary, we will contact the coaches to communicate the required modifications.
Printed Rosters: During the event, the BBAM will provide two printed rosters for each coach – one for the coach and one for their opponent.
REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Full Name:

• NAF Name and Number (if you have one):
Upon receiving your registration, we will send you a confirmation email to confirm your participation in the tournament.
SCHEDULE
• 10:00am – 10:15am: Registration and pairing
• 10h15am – 12h30pm: Match 1
• 12h30pm – 1:00pm: Lunch break and team display

As you can see, we are on a tight schedule, so we need participants to arrive on time. In addition, each match has a time limit of 2 hours and 15 minutes. As such, we encourage players to set up quickly and use a timer (60 minutes of play for each player), when your time is out, you have one minute per turn. If the game is not done after 2h15, coaches play until each coach has had an equal number of turns and the result applies.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT
In the initial match, coaches will be paired randomly. For the second and third matches, we will implement a Swiss format. Top-performing teams will face off against each other (winners VS winners), while bottom teams (losers vs losers) will compete amongst themselves. We will try to avoid duplicate matches.
Please note that the BBAM BOWL adopts an exhibition format. This means that all teams will start each match with their initial roster; no Star Player Points (SPPs) or Casualties will be applied as you would experience in a league setting.
TOURNAMENT SCORING
For each match, you will be given a form to fill in during and after the match with the information below:
• Win: +30 points
• Draw: +10 points
• Loss: +0 points
• Per TD: +2 points
• Per CAS (cause to your opponent during your turn): +1 point
• Perfect defense (no TDs allowed): +3 points
In the event of a tiebreaker, we will use the following:
1. Total TDs scored
2. Total CAS inflicted
3. TD differential
4. CAS differential
5. Roll-off
AWARDS
Awards will be given to (in case of ties, we will do a roll off):
• Overall champion (most points)
• Best offence (most TDs scored)
• Best defense (less TDs allowed)
• Most brutal (most CAS inflicted)
Finally, we will encourage participants to vote for their favorite team (best paint job, original models, etc.). As such, we invite participants to leave their teams on display during the lunch break).
To be eligible for any awards, coaches need to play 3 matches.
WHAT TO BRING?
Miniatures: Coaches can bring painted or unpainted miniatures, and proxies are also accepted (as long as the different positions/players are clearly visible). To enhance gameplay and clarity, it's strongly recommended for coaches to identify players' skills on the base of the miniatures. This makes it easier for both players to keep track of players' abilities during matches.
Pitch: Coaches should bring their own Blood Bowl pitch. However, if any participant doesn't have a pitch, they should inform the organizers in advance so that arrangements can be made.
Dice: Coaches should bring their own set of dice for rolling during the matches.
Templates: Coaches should have throw-in, scatter, and pass templates available for use during the games. If any coach doesn't have these templates, they should notify the organizers in advance.
Rulebook: All coaches should bring a copy of the Blood Bowl rulebook, either in physical form or as a PDF on a device. This ensures that players have access to the rules and can reference them if needed during the tournament.
