6. The NAF “Rules for Tournaments from 1st January 2023” PDF downloadable here (https://www.thenaf.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NAF-Rules-for-Tournaments-2023.pdf), this means Slaan are allowed!
TEAM DRAFT BUDGET
All coaches will receive a Team Draft Budget of 1,150,000 gold pieces. A team must have a minimum of 11 players (including star players). Any team budget not spent will be lost AND all teams will be considered to be of equal team value at the start of each game, so fill in the extra budget with dedicated fans, assistant coaches and/or cheerleaders.
INDUCEMENTS
You may spend money on any inducements included in the Bloodbwol Second Season Edition - The Official Rules book, and these become part of your permanent roster. Special Play Cards, Wizards and Mercenaries cannot be purchased.
Coaches wanting to purchase a race/team-specific inducement from any of the Spike! Magazines (including the Necromantic Spike! Magazine) should contact the TO for approval prior to purchase, but generally these will not be allowed unless they are a direct equivalent of a standard inducement.
SPECIAL PLAY CARDS
Special Play Cards are not allowed to be purchased as inducements.
STAR PLAYERS
Coaches may purchase Star Players that feature in official GW rules for this edition.
No more than ONE Star Player may be purchased per team, except for Tier 3 teams who can purchase up to two.
If both coaches have selected the same Star Player, we use the “identical twin” rule, meaning both teams are allowed to field the same Star Player.
Star players will also cost the team 12 of their available SPP.
MEGA STARS
Mega Stars are allowed.
Only ONE Mega Star can be taken per team and they will take up one of the Star Player slots available to that team.
Mega Stars will also cost the team 24 of their available SPP
PLAYER ADVANCEMENTS
Coaches will receive the following Star Player Points to spend on player advancements:
Tier 1: 36 SPP
Tier 2: 48 SPP
Tier 3: 60 SPP
Coaches may spend SPP to purchase the following advancements:
Choose a Primary Skill: 6 SPP
Choose a Secondary Skill: 12 SPP
NOTE: random skills and random characteristic skills CANNOT be purchased.
Coaches are free to distribute the SPP between their players as they wish. Either spread the skills evenly between a number of players or create one or two superstars. Note, as per The Official Rules no player may receive more than six advancements.
Note that there is no penalty or increase in SPP cost for stacking skills on the same player. If that is what you want to do feel free to make a legend.
PRAYERS TO NUFFLE TABLE
A result of Cheering Fans on the Kick-Off Event Table will use the amended Prayers to Nuffle Table as per page 103 of The Official Rules.
RESURECTION TOURNAMENT
This tournament will be a resurrection tournament. After each round, teams will reset to their original roster. No injuries will carry over, and no SPP’s will be rec.
SWISS MATCH UP
This tournament will use the Swiss method to pair up coaches. Round 1 will be randomised, but from round 2 onwards, coaches will be matched up with other coaches with a similar record. So 1st place will play 2nd place, 3rd place will play 4th place, and so on. This ensures that all coaches get to play against coaches who are performing similarly.
SCORING
WIN: 5pts
DRAW: 2pts
LOSS: 0pts
Ensure you record all casualties for and against, and all touchdowns scored for and against. Casualties include those caused by fouls and the crowd, but NOT self-inflicted casualties, such as failed dodges and failed rushes.
TIEBREAKERS
At the end of the tournament, the following tie-breakers will be used in the event of a points tie:
1: Strength of Schedule
2: Touchdown difference (TD For minus TD Against)
3: Casualties difference (CAS For minus CAS Against)
DON'T FORGET
Don’t forget to bring your team, a board, dice and templates, PLUS two copies of your roster.
1: All matches will last 2 hrs and 15mins.
2: Matches are expected to have entered the second half with one hour remaining.
3: Coaches playing in matches not completed by the end of the allocated times will be allowed to complete their current turn only, ensuring that both coaches have had an equal number of turns.
4: Turn times will not be enforced, but coaches should aim for no more than 4 minutes per turn.
