Nuffles Bulging Sack ’24 (positively creaking under the strain)!
In its 3rd year and showing no sign of coming up with a new entendre, Nuffles Bulging Sack ’24 (positively creaking under the strain) is here once again for vaguely winter related Blood bowl in the heart of Cheltenham at the impeachable Incom Gaming. Can Steve make a tournament anymore Elf friendly without coming a cropper of the NAF? He’s gonna bloody try!
£20 gets you 4 games of Blood Bowl, your own little sack (how it bulges is down to you but we recommend dice), spot prizes, sweet loot for the winners and most importantly a beautifully hand painted wooden spoon for the real hero of the day.
NAF APPROVEL PENDING
Rules:
It’s the season of marginal softening towards the less fortunate, even Nuffle is less murderous than usual. To this end the tournament will be run in the spirit of goodwill with biased ref (close scrutiny) being present in every game for both players. - After a team commits a foul without rolling a double on either the armour or injury roll, roll a D6: on a 5+ the player is sent off, 1-4 the player manages to avoid the ref's gaze!
Each game we are lucky enough to be handed little gifts from Nuffles bulging sack and because we at Incom Gaming are generous fools we wish to share this bounty. Apply the following rule to each game.
Game 1: After a full season of crushing and maiming your average Blood Bowl player feels the need for a bit of soul shining and attends the local worshipful establishment (not this is not a pub/bar), even taking along his faithful lucky jockstrap/rabbits foot/Orges posing pouch (delete as applicable). All this undirected Yule faith must have had a an effect as both teams gain the team mascot for the game (pg.39 of Death Zone book)
Game 2: Remember as a little snotting getting a fresh new ball for Christmas, then promptly bursting it amidst a flood of tears? Well we care about that traumatic childhood experience - play the game with the Elven Ball - Perfectly Balanced, +1 to all ball related Agility rolls, including interceptions.
Game 3: Be they fluffy earmuffs or gloves made from the skin of your enemies, everyone has a special ‘ way to keep warm to ward off the winter chills, in the world of Blood Bowl that equates to more protection from marauding Big Guys - -1 to AV rolls for the game
Game 4: By the late afternoon/evening everyone has had their share of fun and indulgence and needs a solid nap to prepare for their main snooze. Unfortunately for your players you have to play Blood bowl - -1 to all GFI's
Weather:
It’s Winter so you have all read the Winter Kick Off table right?
2 - Cold Winds: All passing tests are -1 and -1 to recover rolls from the KO box
3 - Freezing: If you fall over or get knocked down +1 to AV roll
4/10 - Perfect conditions
11 - Heavy Snow: When a player performs a blitz action, their strength is reduced by 1!
12 - Blizzard: -1 on all GFI’s (I’m not calling it Rush and you can’t make me!). Only quick and short passes may be attempted.
Roster Creation:
Submitted by Friday 6th December on Tourplay - (Link for tournament will go up month prior to event date)
Each team has a total of 1,150,000 gp to spend on roster creation and must hire a minimum of 11 players. Any unspent cash at roster creation will be lost and all teams will be considered having the same Current Team Value (CTV) for the purpose of inducements and prayers to Nuffle.

* Star players can only be induced after 11 regular players have already been rostered.
* Star players can’t be given extra skills from the team’s skill budget.
* If both opposing teams are fielding the same star player in a game, both star players are allowed to play.
The teams have been split into 5 tiers, each team is permitted to stack 2 Primary Skills on a maximum of 1 player at the cost of both 1 Primary Skill and 1 Secondary Skill. If your team and skill set do not allow you to give Secondary Skills to your players, you’re not allowed to stack skills.

STARPLAYERS
In case you’re considering adding a star player to your team, you will have to follow this rules:
EXTRA CHARGE FOR CERTAIN STARPLAYERS
If you hire one of the following starplayers, you’ll have to reduce the mentioned skills from your skillsets.
Morg’N’Thorg - 3 primary skills
Griff Oberwald - 3 primary skills
Varag Ghoul Chewer - 2 primary skills
Deeproot Strongbranch - 2 primary skills
Hakflem Skuttlespike - 2 primary skills
Kreek Rustgouger - 2 primary skills
Bomber Dribblesnot - 2 primary skills
Cindy Piewhistle - 2 Primary skills
Ivan The Animal Deathshroud - 2 Primary skills
Skitter Stab-Stab - 2 primary skills
Estelle La Veneaux - 2 primary skills
Wilhem Chaney - 1 primary skills
(Dribl & Druhl, The Swift Twins count as 2 star players)
All stars released prior to 1st December 2024 will be allowed.
• A Dwarf coach wants to hire Griff Oberwald. Being Tier 1, he chooses the C skill set and reduces 3 skills from it, getting 0 skills for his team (and paying Griff’s fee too, it doesn’t mean he doesn ́t have to pay gp for him)
• A Goblin coach wants to hire Bomber Dribblesnot for his team. He chooses the C skill set and reduces 2 skill from it, getting 4 Primary Skills.
• A Halfling coach wants to hire Morg’N’Thorg and Griff Oberwald for his team. He chooses the D skill set, that allows him to have 2 star players on the team. But as that skill set just gives him 4 primary skills, and he would have to reduce it by 6, it’s not allowed to hire both star players.
