THBBL & BGC presents – PumpkinBowl 2023
FORMAT
The one-day event will be organised into 3 games starting with a random draw for game one and then swiss format ran via the tour play system - https://tourplay.net/en/blood-bowl/thbbl--bgc-presents---pumpkinbowl-2023
RULES.
All teams are reset after every game using the resurrection format. No SPPs are required to be recorded, injured or dead players are healed, there are no winnings rolls and raised players are lost.
The round time is 2 hours per round
Unless rolled on the kick-off table, weather will always be Perfect Conditions.
The scoring for the event will be 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 for a loss.
Tied coaches are separated on Strength of Schedule, then total combined TD and CAS difference, followed by most fouls resulting in a Casualty, if needed.
Non-fouling Casualties are only counted if they would yield SPP. Crowd surfs, thrown rocks, chainsaws, etc… do not
count.
12+ players on the pitch – If a team is found to be fielding too many players, the opposition coach may choose which player(s) are sent off. If a team is found to be fielding less than 11 players, the drive must be played out with that many players on the pitch (no additional players can be brought on).
Rosters are to be submitted to tourplay by 27th October.
TEAM CREATION
Every team is permitted to spend 1.15m Gold Crowns at creation. All 29 NAF Official teams are permitted at the tournament. All Inducements may be taken that are listed in the main rules, death zone and almanacs, with the exception of Giants, Wizards, Special Plays, Biased Referees and Unlimited Mercenaries.
The highlander rule will also be in effect for star players so if both coaches are taking the same one neither can be played.
All teams will be given a free mascot to be used during there matches with the model to represent be given to them on the day as part of their welcome pack.

PRIZES
We will be using the ‘Highlander’ rule (there can be only one) approach to prizes, where coaches are only eligible for one prize. If a coach has won more than one prize, they will either receive the highest ranked prize, or be given the choice. The unchosen prize/s will then go to the next eligible coach.

Entry cost is £15 per player, and we request if possible that NAF membership be done in advance as we will not be having a NAF rep present on the day.

We will have a limit of 2 hours, per game. If anyone wishes to play to a clock at any point (either before a game begins or during) then both players are required to use a chess clock, there are various apps available to allow you to do this yourselves.
If a round is called, coaches will play to the end of an equal turn for them both (e.g. if the round was called when one coach was in the middle of their turn seven, the other coach would get to complete their turn seven. If the round was called when one player had already finished their turn seven, the second player would get to complete their turn seven).
There are cafes and coffeeshops a short walk away along with a Sainsburys but we will also be placing a lunch order in advance so there will be details available for those who wish to place an order. |
