Tournament Rules:
Games will be played using the rules from the Blood Bowl Competition Rules Pack with the following modifications:
- Illegal procedure will not be in effect.
- Turns will not be timed unless coaches prefer otherwise. Simply discuss this with your opponent before each match begins.
- Rosters are reset after each round. This means players are restored to health/life, star player points are not accumulated, no improvement rolls are made and no gold is earned.
Roster Creation:
- Each Coach has an allowance of 1,150,000 gold pieces to create their roster and purchase skill and stat increases. Reference the Blood Bowl rule book for appropriate values and rules. The following rules and restrictions apply:
1. No player may be given more than one skill OR stat increase.
2. No player may be given a stat increase in addition to a skill (it’s either one or the other!)
3. No more than 2 players may be given the same skill.
4. No more than 2 players may have the same stat increase.
5. No extraordinary skills may be taken.
6. Strength or agility stat increases may not be taken.
7. Players with strength of 5 or more may not be given double skills unless they play for a Goblin, Halfling, or Ogre team.
8. Star players may not be given any skills or stat increases.
9. Inducements may be purchased during team creation, including Star Players, but excludes Wizards, Special Play Cards and Unlimited Mercenaries. These inducements are considered a permanent part of the team can be used each game. Opposing teams may have the same Star Player, contrary to the rule book.
10. Teams may be selected from the 21 races in the rulebook in addition to the approved by the Blood Bowl Rules Committee (Chaos Pact, Slaan, Underwold Pact).
11. You must have at least 11 players on your roster. Please note: Star Players purchased during team creation can count towards the minimum 11 players required for a team.
12. The following teams will be eligible to win the Stunty Cup: Halfings, Ogres, Goblins, Lizardmen (no Saurus Warriors), and Underworld Pact (no skaven players). (see “Awards/Prizes†below.)
Pairing and Scoring:
Opponents will be selected randomly for Round 1. Rounds 2 and 3 will be selected using the system of Swiss pairing (most points vs. most points, lowest points vs. lowest points, etc.) Coaches are awarded points based on the following:
+20 points for each win
+10 points for each draw
0 points for each loss
+ 1 point per casualty (only those that would normally result in SPPs)
+ 1 point for each touchdown scored
+ 2 points for shutting out your opponent (your opponent did not score any touchdowns)
In addition, the following points will be awarded after the second round of play, based on the appearance of each coach's team (judged by tournament staff):
Painted, +1 Point: The models are each covered with paint of some type, with no bare metal or plastic visible.
- Detailed, Up to +3 Points: 1 point for table top quality, 2 points for above table top quality, 3 points for "true artistry"
- Numbered, +1 Point: All of the team's players are clearly numbered.
- Distinctive, +1 Point: All of the positional players may be easily determined (following explanation, if necessary).
- Based, Up to +3 Points: 1 point for basing, 2 points for basing + details (pitch lines on grass, for example), 3 points for well-based models.
- Bonus, +1 Point: Team has matching or team themed re-roll/turn counters, custom balls, skill markers, etc.
- Unpainted teams are allowed, but their use will obviously impact a coach's chances of winning the tournament.
Special Play Cards:
At the start of each game, before rolling for weather, each coach will receive one special play card selected at random to use for that game (and that game only.) To select a card each coach will first roll a d3 which corresponds to one of the lists below. After being assigned a list they will then roll a d8 which will determine the special play card they receive (each card is assigned a number based on the d8 roll.) Both coaches can receive the same card and both coaches must roll for their cards in the presence of their opponent. In other words, both coaches will know which card the other coach receives. Coaches who tied their game in the previous round are allowed to make one reroll to determine which list they will be assigned for that round. Coaches who lost their game in the previous round can make one reroll to determine which list they will be assigned for that round and can also make one reroll to determine which card their will be assigned for that round. They must accept the result of every reroll. Print outs of each special play card’s description will be provided at the tournament for ease of reference.

1. Force Shield
2. Gikta's Strength of da Bear
