To that end, please treat this document as a complete list of rules for our competition. Herein, you should find all the information needed for a great time. If you should have a question, please do not hesitate to contact the tournament administrator, Paul Vernon. He’s a friendly enough guy.

- Point out which players represent which positions and point out which players have added skills.
- Look over your opponent's team roster and ensure that it's legal.

2) The Match.
- Roll Weather.
- Roll dice or flip a coin to decide who goes first. (Winner decides to kick or receive.)
- Receiving team's turn.
- Kicking team's turn.
- Keep track of blocking casualties and touchdowns on the supplied match sheet.
- Etc.
3) The Post Match Sequence.

11
Booby-Trapped End Zones
In an attempt to provide an explosive surprise for Bombcast Bloodsports broadcast viewers during the match both coaches End Zones have been rigged with booby traps to provide an explosive surprise for any opposition player that attempts to score!
For the duration of the drive, whenever an opposition player with the ball moves into a square in your End Zone, they must roll a D6. On a 2+ nothing happens, and the touchdown is scored. On a 1, a booby-trap has gone off and the opposition player is Knocked Down. No touchdown is scored. Roll for armor break (and injury if necessary), bounce the ball, and a turnover occurs.
This roll may be re-rolled with a team reroll.
6. Coaches are REQUIRED to mark or highlight their players with skill rings or similar such that additional
skills are clearly marked. This can be in the form of written on the base, loom bands, skills rings, etc.
7. Player aids, such as probability Apps, calculators and the like must not be used while in-game.
8. External advice to coaches’ in-game is not permitted. Strategic discussions at the Squad event are
permitted, but not in-game or during game instructions. For example, ‘we need a draw here’ is
acceptable ‘don’t block that player, blitz here instead’ is not.
9. If any rules disputes or other issues arise, please alert a tournament official or judge so that the issue can
be resolved both correctly and quickly.
10. THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES:
• Don’t be a jerk!
• Have fun!
