Blood Bowl Sevens Prospect Proving Ground 2024

Location:
Bristol Ball Room A
Captain Con at the Crowne Hotel, 801 Greenwich Ave, Warwick, RI 02886
What is This?
No one starts out in the major leagues. It takes talent, but more than that it takes grit, perseverance and determination. Before a rookie player can sign on with a team ready for the major circuit, he has to prove himself on the gridiron, playing in the sevens division. This is your chance to lead your local pack of hopefuls to glory. With a bit of luck and a cunning plan, your rising star players might just be poached by a real team before their hanger-ons get bored and go back to their day jobs.
Blood Bowl is the Game of Fantasy Football by Games Workshop. Normally it is played with teams of eleven "players" - that is, little plastic models of football players. Living breathing humans playing the game are called "coaches." - but this four round Swiss-style event will utilize the variant sevens rules, found in the new Death Zone supplement, for smaller, quicker, more fumble-prone matches.
