What to Bring
• Painted team with suitable models.
• Skill rings, coloured rubber bands, or another appropriate way to identify skills/positions
• Block dice
• D6s, d8, d16
• 3 copies of your team roster including skill purchases and inducements
Special Tournament Rules:
• Games will have a maximum length of 2 hours 15 minutes. If you are unable to finish within the given time frame, the referee may stop the game prematurely. A referee’s decision is final in all cases.
• ST. HORATIO – Horatio has been thoroughly abused in successive years and now only appears as a beneficent angel! The spirit of the rooster has looked down with mercy on the hard lives of the players and is willing to help them thrive.
ST. HORATIO MA3/ST1/AG4+/PA-/AV6+ Ball&Chain, Dauntless, Dodge, Stunty, Titchy, No Hands, Fowl Wisdom (Once per team turn, when a player that is in an adjacent square is activated, that player may gain either the Sprint, Leap, Pro, or Dirty Player (+1) skill until the end of their activation)
Whenever a player of either team suffers an injury, St. Horatio will appear in the newly vacated square. Being an angel, he will not assist blocks for either team, but is counted as an opponent in all cases where agility penalty might be applied. ie pickups, throws, hypnotic gaze, etc. If/when further injuries are suffered, St. Horatio will vacate his current square and appear in the newly injured player’s square. If St. Horatio suffers a casualty, he is removed from the board but can return if further injuries are suffered.
If St. Horatio has replaced your player most recently, you may activate him as per the Ball&Chain rule before your turn begins. Because this activation takes place outside your team turn, rerolls cannot be used and turnovers are not caused.
Rules Not In Effect

• Teams will resurrect at the end of each game. No SPPs, injuries or any roster changes carry over between games.

• Teams with the ability to raise killed players will be allowed to, but they will not carry over to the next game.
Team Building
• All NAF sanctioned teams are eligible.

Skills Draft
At the end of the first day, there will be two rounds of a skill draft. Starting with the lowest tournament points and working towards the highest, each coach may select a skill from the list below and have it assigned to any player without the Loner skill.
