| I've never had issues with any normal inducements being allowed in tournaments. Over here its only cards that get prohibited (for obvious reasons) and you rarely see any. I can't see a good reason to ban them to be honest. |

Gentlemen,
i was under the impression that each team member had to play a different race from the other members of his/her team. dont know where I got that from however it would stop the Orc invasion!! (not that i have a problem with Orcs, besides being beaten by them numerous times)
if thats not the case, thats fine, i can find no mention of that rule, however, if that was the case could i suggest each team must include 1 stunty ('Fling / Gobbo / Ogre + maybe Skavenless underworld and dare i suggest Lizards without saurus) for which and only for them, bribes and Chefs could be made available at current cost.
I dont want to force anyone to play a team they dont want to, however i suspect most teams will have at least 1 member who plays "stunties" at tournament (we've got 2)
it would also add to number and diversity of races present, I enjoy tournaments where i dont play the same race 3 times in 6 games
just a suggestion, sorry if it offends, its meant with good intent!! |

| Every team having at leat one stunty team, would be fun. But... it would also be a rule excluding certain teams from the tourney (or force players to play something they don't want to). Working under the assumption there will be at least one team where none of the members would want to play stunties, I would think this a bad implementation to acheieve a fun goal. |

Damn Powergamers! 
Perhaps give a team a points bonus per round per Stunty team they have.  |

Like your thinking, however, ive been accused of "Stunty powergaming" by playing Lizards without Saurus several times...guess thats just a cross i have to bare

@ Gaiba..Not sure if i made it clear in my post, I thought each member of a team had to use a different race from every other member of thier own team.
so 6 team members = 6 different races...
Hope that answers the question...
However, I cannot find this anywhere in the rules, I believe it was mentioned to me in conversation just after the announcment for the WC II but before any ruleset was published!
I dont think it will be a case of 300 Orc teams V 300 Norse teams, as someone else posted most coaches want to play thier favourite teams. However it would add to the diversity altho i suspect we will see vampire and Orge teams there anyway.
TBH the inclusion of Stunties as a "must have" was just a throw away remark, I have no problem with playing with / against them (no more than any other team) altho the ruleset doesnt seem to encourage them |

i think that the best way to encourage stunties and tier3 teams without unbalancing the game or forcing players to play with rosters they don't want
would be to make a special prize for each tier team. tier 1 tier 2 tier 3. So the best stuny does not have to win all his match, but he has to lose less than the other. |

| You can add Skinks+kroxigor teams and Underworld goblin+troll teams to Stunties for a possible Stunty Cup... |

I really hope the old rule of "each race only once per team" applies also to this World Cup. I'm really not looking forward to playing against teams consisting only of Dwarf, Undead and Woodelves.
And as my other question is still open:

| I don't think you can force one Stunty team per coach-team. People are playing £500+ to come to this, and many teams won't have someone who actually wants to use a rubbish race... |

thats ok they can all use wood elves then
my next post did stress that the "stunty team" was a throw away remark, maybe they should introduce it at eurobowl instead......  |

It wasn't stated in the last one (I think).
Anyway, we will add it later on.
Together with other clearifications to make sure the games will end on time.
