TMBBT FORMAT:
This will be a Swiss-style, resurrection tournament.
Coaches will be paired randomly for their first round match.
Rounds 2, 3, & 4 coaches will be paired in a swiss format style in which top teams will be paired against top teams and bottom teams will be paired against bottom teams.
The tourney host will do what they can to avoid duplicate matches in rounds 2, 3, & 4.
This is an exhibition Blood Bowl tournament.
No SPPs are gained and no injuries, casualties, or deaths carry over between rounds.
All teams will start each round with their original same roster.
Illegal Procedures will not be called. Please bring the issue to your opponent’s attention and ask they move their turn marker.
The Kick-Off Event Table in the 2020 Blood Bowl Rule Book will be used. (page. 41)
Matches will be held to a 2 hour and 15 minute time limit.
Coaches will be reminded at the 1 hour remaining, 30 minute remaining,
10 minutes, and 5 minutes remaining times.
During the last 5 minutes each coach should finish the current turn they are on.
When the 2 hour and 15 minute time is up, the host will call out,
“DICE DOWN” and the round ends.
There will be no overtime period during the TMBBT.
TMBBT CUSTOM WEATHER TABLE:
Kokopelli's custom weather table will take the place of the
standard 2020 weather table for the TMBBT.
At the beginning of the match, and if "Changing Weather" is rolled on the Kick Off Table during the match, the following custom TMBBT weather table will be used.
All rostered players will suffer the listed effects of the TMBBT Weather Table.
However, Kokopelli's TMBBT Star Player, The Desert Tortoise, is immune to any of the effects that occur as a result of the 2D6 roll on the TMBBT Weather Table.
2D6 = Result
2 = IT’S SO HOT
The heat is too much for some players, so they refuse to play and they walk off the pitch to seek quality H20 on the bench.
The weather for this entire drive will be perfect.
However, at the start of the drive each coach randomly selects one player from their team who is on the pitch. That player is placed in the reserves box and will miss this drive as they rehydrate themselves.
3 = TORENTIAL DOWNPOUR
Kokopelli has burst open the heavens and a torrential rains are soaking everything on the pitch.
For the entire drive both coaches apply a -1 modifier every time a player makes and agility test to pick-up, interfere, intercept, and catch.
4 = SUPER SUNNY
Kokopelli has parted away the storm clouds and allowed the sun to shine through onto the pitch.
But the sun is shining so bright that it is hindering any passing attempts that are made.
For the entire drive both coaches apply a -1 modifier for every time a player uses their Passing Ability (PA).
5 through 10 = perfect Blood Bowl weather
11 = FLASH FLOOD
A flash flood has engulfed the pitch making it hard for the players to move like they normally do.
The weather for this entire drive will be perfect.
However, for each team’s first turn, all players movement are cut in half (rounding up).
Players can still Rush as normal.
12 = MUDDY MESS
The torrential rain and flash flooding has past, but the pitch is now a muddy mess.
For the entire drive any player that is pushed back as a result of a Blitz action, the coach rolls a D6.
On a roll of a 1, the player slips, falls over, and is placed prone on the pitch.
That player's next activation they can choose to stand up using the normal Standing Up rules.
SCORING:
Each coach will be giving a match result sheet for each of the rounds. At the end of each match, coaches will tally up the points earned and will pass it into the host of the tourney.
WIN = 60 points
TIE = 30 points
EACH TD SCORED = 5 points
EACH CASUALTY INFLICTED (*) = 1 points
HOLD YOUR OPPONENT TO NO TDs = 5 points
CONCEDING THE MATCH (**) = -100 points
* Casualty Inflicted are any casualties caused to your opponent during your team's turn
from Blocks, Fouls, Crowd Surfing, Secret Weapons, or from being hit by a thrown player.
** Conceding The Match means any coach who quits or misses the match, the opposing coach will automatically earn a 3-0 for touchdowns scored, 3-0 for casualties inflicted, and holding your opponent to no TDs. This calculates to 83 points for the match awarded to the winning coach while the coach who conceded has 100 points subtracted from their overall point total.

TMBBT GAMING ETIQUETTE:
Coaches should go over their team roster with each other prior to the start of the game.
Coaches need to discuss and agree on “cocked” dice rolls prior to any dice rolls being made.
The TMBBT host ask that all coaches participating support and accept
the outcome of the Blood Bowl matches, the TMBBT rules set, and any final decision
that the host may have to make during the tourney.
When it comes down to it, we are not making millions playing Blood Bowl and we are choosing to play it for the fun of it. So have fun and don’t be “that guy”.
“If you’re not humble, life will visit humbleness upon you.”
