Prize Ceremony
This is a long tournament and rounds are only two hours. We are aware this is not a beginner friendly format, but it’s the only way to fit six rounds in a one day tournament.
There will be a strict “dice down after two hours” policy. Please don’t give us a hard time should this happen to your game. The use of a chess clock where both players get 55 minutes is allowed, but not mandatory.
PRIZES
- Winner gets a NAF trophy (or another trophy miniature)
- There will be Games Workshop/Forgeworld Blood Bowl sealed items given away at random at the start of each round. More people attending more prizes.
- I'll dig out some small prizes for most Touchdowns, most Casualties and last place.
