Bribes:
A roster cannot induce bribes if there is a player with the Sneaky Git skill AND/OR the Secret Weapon skill. Goblin and Snotling teams have managed to find a "legal" way to avoid this rule, so they can induce bribes while their roster contains players with the Secret Weapon skill BUT NOT the Sneaky Git skill.
A Coach MAY choose only one of the following Blessings.
No blessings (Vanilla Roster)
The roster is created with all the above rules.
Extra gold
One or more Skill Points can be exchanged for gold at a ratio of 30k per 1SP that will not be used. This MUST NOT take team value above 1200K before added skills.
Skill stacking
By losing a Skill Point, you are able to stack skills to players in your roster, limiting the use according to the tier.
1 Skill Stack for Tier 1-2,
2 Skill Stacks for Tier 3-4,
3 Skill Stacks for Tier 5-6.
Additional Primary Skills = 1 SP (Skill Stacking)
Additional Secondary Skills = 2 SP (Skill Stacking)
You only lose ONE Skill point regardless of the tier you have chosen.
Example: A High Elf team (tier 3) would lose 1 skill point to put 2 skill stackings on the roster.
Star Players
One (1) Star Player can be rostered for Tier 1-4 teams, up to two (2) Star Players can be rostered for Tier 5-6 teams.
Star Players in couples count as two Star Players for the roster.
For every Star Player acquired additional Skill Points cost as follows:
Star player cost:000-099k, lose 1 Skill point.
Star player cost:100-199k, lose 2 Skill points.
Star player cost:200-299k, lose 3 Skill points.
Star player cost:300k-399k, lose 4 skill points.
Banned Star Players
Griff Oberwald, Hakflem Skuttlespike, Morg 'n' Thorg, Bomber Dribblesnot, Cindy Piewhistle, Deeproot Strongbranch, Kreek Rustgouger, Estelle La Veneaux,Dribl & Drull, Varag Ghoul-Chewer. Any star players released after ruleset has come out (November 2023) will be considered banned.
The same Star Players cannot play in a game where both coaches have rostered them.
Extra skill point
One extra Skill Point is gained, as long as the usage of the Skill Points from the coach does not exceed in total 3 times that skill in the roster (including built-in skills). This extra skill should not exceed in total 3 times that skill in the roster too.
Example: A dark elf team with 4 blitzers, 2 witches and 5 LineElves can have this extra skill as long as the Skill Points from the tier and the extra Skill Point from the blessing do not add the Block skill because there are already more than 3 but not from the skill point usage, and can add maximum 1 more Dodge skill because there are already 2 in the roster and by spending 1 Skill Point the total number reaches 3.
Scoring
Win = 3 points
Draw = 1 point
Lose = 0 points
Bye round or forced rest = 3 points
Tiebreakers
1. Head-to-Head result
2. Strength of schedule (opponents total score)
3. TD difference (global)
4. CAS difference (global)
Timekeeping
With a tight tournament schedule using a chess clock or similar for timekeeping is strongly recommended
When time is up if the game is still on going the players have 5 minutes to play until both players have played the same amount of turns.
If one of the two Coaches facing off requests that a chess clock is implemented this must be implemented immediately dividing the remaining minutes (rounding down) by 2.
We strongly recommend that a chess clock is implemented immediately if 60 minutes or less are left and at least one Coach is not in the 2nd turn of the 2nd half.
Once implemented chess clocks can only be paused by a referee.
Should a Coach’s time run out on the chess clock, during their turn, that Coach can only stand-up Players and turn stunned Players to the prone position.
If a Coach suspects that their opponent is wasting time, they are to call a referee immediately. |
