| I play Khemri and I foul loads. It's just what the team does. And no, opponents don't mind as over here we play ressurection style. |

I'd say never, as I've never been to a tournament so far 
But at the DungeonBowl, I intend to do it the way I do with my mates: a couple of times, except when they invite it upon themselves (eg when they are a pain in my butt, or the key player lies on the floor).
And as it's part of the game, I don't care too much what the other coach thinks about it. |

| It depends on the team I'm playing, but fouling definately has its uses. If you're standing next to a prone gutter runner, is there any other option than to foul it through the pitch? |

I foul whenever the oportunity presents itself, almost never with the eye on me. (dark elf linemen are too expensive to be sent off)
with vamps I may find myself fouling more, even with the eye as thralls are cheap. |

When the Ref has been got at: as often as sensibly possible. 
When the Ref is normal, not looking at anyone: vey little. (I never seem to have a spare player  )
When using a team such with numerical superiority as Skaven, as often as possible. |

Fouling is a tactic as viable as blocking - anyone who says otherwise is being foolish and denying themselves opportunities their opponent WILL take  |

As often as I can, but only if the game is still in doubt.
If I'm 2 or 3 TD's ahead (hey, it can happen!) AND have player number superiority, and there's no way for the opponent to come back, I won't bother. |

I think there is also a question of sportsmanship in a situation like this too!
My philosophy is foul when you need to - when I am down in the numbers game,or a Wardancer or blodge Gutter Runner is lying on the ground just begging to be kicked!

i foul on very few occasions as its not my game - but i would encourage my opponent to always foul if they wanted - its very much part of the game.
In fact its terrible that people even have to discuss it - as its 'ok' to throw, 'ok' to block: why should fouls be treated in another way |

I don't think I've ever fouled in a tournament, but then the way I play I'm rarely presented with a tempting target that it's worth getting out of position to attack.
As for the sportsmanship issue, well I think fouling is part of the game and perfectly acceptable up to a point. When your opponent is outnumbered 11-3 and you're still fouling his players into the dead and injured box then you've gone way, way too far.
It's a simple test really. Are you fouling for a tactical advantage that will enable you to win the game? Or are you fouling because you've won already and the other guy can't fight back? |

I leave it to the Bright Crusaders not to foul.
I foul whenever it is in my favour.
3 woodelves are still able to score, 0 are not. |

| A stunned player makes a great corner to a cage, and it's not hard to guarantee a stun in that kind of situation. |

Fouling is even more enjoyable in tournaments, because (assuming you are trying to win the match and you are up against a tough opponent) a greater degree of skill is required to set up a good foul (without jeopardising playing the ball).
I would say that I have won about 1 game per tournament with a judicious foul.
In the last tourney, Dint (my AV6 Hobgoblin) K.O.d an Ogre on the first turn (he never came back).

I'm a big fan of fouling in tournaments. I'd happily sacrifice a lineman to remove a Bull Centaur, Werewolf or War Dancer and a combination of strategic fouling (i.e. removing key players) and tactical fouling (e.g. needing stuns or better to improve the chance of getting sacked) is a good game winning combination.
I've won more games because of a DP than I've lost because they've got sent off. |
