Post subject: Warpstone Cup X R.U.L.E.S. Sept 24/25

Warpstone Cup X R.U.L.E.S. is the 10th Warpstone Cup. The Revenge of the Refs!

R.U.L.E.S. = Refs United Legalizing Employment Safety !

The Refs of the Old World are fed up! Time is for a change and Respect for those that don the zebra stripes! Refs everywhere are making a stand so much so they have even formed a Union! They have decided the Warpstone Cup is the first location to put their foot down. The Refs Union has done away with the Warpstone Cup's Scandalous Reign of the Skaven Clans. There is no more Sponsorship of the 4 major Clans, so no more Magic Items! With the start of R.U.L.E.S. there are now Refs from all over the Old World attending BloodBowl Matches.

Before each game there will be 1 of 16 Refs waiting for you.

1.Regular Ref Normal (Normal Bloodbowl Ref rules.)
2.Orc Ref Brutish (If you do not get caught on first foul, you may foul a 2nd time that turn.)
3.Dark Elf Ref Sadistic (If at the end of your turn you have not fouled, one random player from your team is ejected for not fouling.)
4. Goblin Ref Sneaky (All Secret Weapons that would be sent off are not if the Goblin Ref is on the Field.)
5. Lenient Ref Lenient (Players ejected are only sent to the KO'd Bin, Thick Skull has no bearing on this.)
6. Dwarf Ref Grudge Bearer (If you are sent off, you also miss the next match too.)
7. Troll Ref Really Stupid (If someone gets caught fouling randomize the team, then randomize the player sent off.)
8. Halfling Ref Hungry (If caught with a foul or Secret Weapon, roll a D8 and if the roll is less than the current turn the Halfling too busy is at a Food Vendor to see the call)
9. Khorne Ref Bloodthirsty (Any foul that doesn't break Armour the fouler is automatically ejected, this overides the Sneaky Git skill. Any foul Result that is Badly Hurt, Seriously Injured or Dead will never be caught.)
10. Sympathetic Ref Sympathy ( If a team is losing the Ref will turn a blind eye to them for fouling , not Secret Weapons.)
11. Ex BloodBowl Ogre Star Player Ref Intimidating (Ignore all Riot and Pitch Invasion results on the Kick Off Table.)
12. Union Rep of R.U.L.E.S. Angry (All fouls are automatically caught.)
13. Clan Moulder Ref Moulder Favoritism
14. Clan Eshin Ref Eshin Favoritism
15.Clan Skryre Ref Skryre Favoritism
16. Clan Pestilens Ref Pestilens Favoritism

Teams will be assigned a Ref at the start of the match. If Get the Ref is rolled on a Kickoff, immediately roll a D16 for the replacement Ref (with the exception the Refs under R.U.L.E.S. never accept Bribes.)

***Skaven Clan Refs have a slight exception to this rule.

The Four Skaven Clans want a team wearing their colours to win the Warpstone Cup. So although the Union of R.U.L.E.S. has put a stop to the Sponsorship and Magic Items, the Clans have each entered a Skaven Ref of their Clan, as well each clan has sneaked each team under their colours some Warpstone Tokens.

Warpstone Tokens

Each team starts the game with 2 Warpstone Tokens, each token can be used once per game.

They may be used one of 3 ways.

1) Warpstone Roulette!

May be used at the start of any turn. Roll a D6, on a 3+ Roll a D16 on table below, on a 1 place the sick player in the Reserves box. Skaven and Underworld teams get a +1 to the roll, if your Skaven Clan Ref is on Pitch get a +1 to the roll . (So Skaven or Underworld teams with their Clan Ref present, can not fail the D6 roll so even on a 1 they succeed )

1: Big Hand
2: Bone Head
3: Claw
4: Disturbing Pr.
5: Extra Arms
6: Foul App.
7: Horns
8: Hypnotic Gaze
9: Prehensile Tail
10: Really Stupid
11: Regeneration
12: Tentacles
13: CHOOSE!
14: Two Heads
15: Very Long Legs
16: Wild Animal

if the result rolled is already on the player (horns on a beastman, or Bonehead on an Ogre, then reroll the D16 until a result that he/she does not already have) The player gains this result for the remainder of the game, but leaves him before next game starts.

2) Warpstone Reroll

You can use a Warpstone Token as a Reroll for any player on your team. On a 3+ you may use the Reroll, if a 1 is rolled the player overdoses and roll straight to injury and the Reroll attempt is wasted and therefore cannot be used . Like any Reroll attempt no dice can be relolled more than once. Skaven and Underworld teams get a +1 to the roll, if your Skaven Clan Ref is on Pitch get a +1 to the roll . (So Skaven or Underworld teams with their Clan Ref present, can not fail the D6 roll so even on a 1 they succeed )

3) Warpstone Bribe

You can use a Warpstone token for a Bribe on any Skaven Ref, even if not your Clan. Roll a D6 on a 3+ the Bribe works, Skaven and Underworld teams get a +1 to the roll, if your Skaven Clan Ref is on Pitch get a +1 to the roll . (So Skaven or Underworld teams with their Clan Ref present, can not fail the D6 roll so even on a 1 they succeed)

***** Warpstone Bribes can only be used if the Ref is a Skaven Ref****

TEAM BUILD

All teams get 1,000,000 to build their team. No Inducements or Star Players may be purchased.

Teams get 150,000 to buy skills. Normal skills at 20k, Double skills at 30k.
No more than 4 of the same Skill may be chosen.

Other than Warpstone Roulette there is no Improvements after Registration.

Home Field Advantage , all Skaven and Underworld teams get a +1 FF for free.

Kick Off Table Changes

4: Is now "WARPSTONED" The ill effects of the Warpstone is affecting the players ability to stay healthy. Both Coaches roll a D6 adding +1 for each Warpstone Token they own (even if already used this game.) The higher roll (both if tied) has a randomised player that succumbs to Warpstone poisoning. For the remainder of this Drive the player(s) has the No Hands, & Foul Appearance skills/traits. Skaven & Underworld teams are less likely to be affected so they subtract a -1 for each Warpstone token they own rather than adding a +1 .

*********Underworld teams only can take advantage of the Skaven Bonuses described above if their roster includes all 6 Skaven players on their roster.************

More to follow!

I think it is safe to say that I will be there. Engler says he wants a ride so he is likely in. Hamm also thinks he can swing this one.

Gonna get some good numbers Rod!

Would love to make it out since that is my b-day weekend but going to a weekend Oktoberfest with camping/music and of course lots of BEER. Would love to get my hands on 1 or 2 sets of the dice though. If there are any extra I am willing to buy 1 or 2 sets from you.

When selecting skills, may we add more than one skill upgrade to a single player?

So in the past Warpstone Cup has done the same trophies, now I know the Warpstone Cup trophy is a favorite. After many years we all have collected many trophies from various tournies, (some of us more than others). Would all of you prefer Prizes such as gaming figures or games rather than trophies?

grant85 - Aug 25, 2016 - 07:33 PM
Post subject:

i love your skaven logo trophies, but if they are too much work i think most of us are happy with anything. prizes of hobby stuff can be cool but i think it is best to stick to bb related stuff as much as possible. some people may feel differently about this. i'm coming no matter what

Looks like some of the refs will result in no fouls being tried, so the Dark Elf ref should obviously be just put in charge of every match...

Hey, guys. I have to be a dink and bail on this year's Warpstone. I have to attend a training session that I only just learned today was on the Saturday of Warpstone Cup weekend and there's no alternate date available.

I submit myself to your onslaught of comments about having poor priorities...

Tourney entered!

ALSO i'd like first round to start by 9:30 am, so if you want breakfast get in early.

Also Before game one both players check their opponent's roster, I find this method speeds up the Registration!

Clan_Skaven - Sep 14, 2016 - 07:47 PM

I have been asked a couple of times now, no stat increases may be selected, only normal skills at 20k and doubles at 30k. No more than 4 of same skill per team. You can have as many skills per player as you wish up to the 6 added skill max. The 150,000 for skills is a separate pool from the 1,000,000 for the team, any unused from either can not be swapped. The free 1 FF for Skaven and Underworld (with all 6 skaven positionals) will make Skaven and Underworld teams a TV of 151, everyone else is 150.

Each team starts the game with 2 Warpstone Tokens, each token can be used once per game.

For clarification: Each team starts the tournament or each match with 2 Warpstone Tokens? Is it still possible to get more tokens?
