Critter Bowl IV

TOURNAMENT RULES PACK 2015
January 24th at Wizards Asylum
749 South Jenkins Avenue. Norman, OK 73069

--------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Critter Bowl! Why Critter Bowl?

This event started in 2013 as a Baby Shower/Blood Bowl Tournament for our buddy Sarge (Mike Tate). At the time of the event he and his wife currently were undecided on the baby’s name so until they came up with something they called the baby, “Critter”. Thus the event became Critter Bowl.

Since Critter Bowl II this baby shower Blood Bowl tournament event made a stop up in Indiana for expecting father Taylor Mitchell for Critter Bowl III. Which bring us to this year's event and the reason for Critter Bowl IV Sarge once again is an expecting daddy. Congratulations Sarge!

If there is anyone out there that cannot make it and you still want to pitch in for the Baby Shower side of this event please let us know.

PLEASE NOTE: All entry Fees for this tournament will go towards a gift card for the family to spend on the new baby.

Everyone who attends will get a pair of Custom D6’s and free pizza for lunch!

Team Building Rules
You are given 1,200,000 gold pieces to build your team using CRP team lists or the three additional Team Lists. You may purchase players, rerolls, apothecary, fan factor, coaches, and cheerleaders as normal. You may also purchase skills (see Player Advancement below). Journeymen, Special Play cards, and Mercenaries are NOT ALLOWED. With that said, you may purchase any other inducements as part of your team built.

NOTE: A single WIZARD may be purchased for 100K but may ONLY use the Fireball Spell.

Apothecaries hired for Critter Bowl are Nanny like and they will work on any of the Star Players taken.

CRP Star Players
Note: If you are including a Star Player from the CRP Rule Book, you must still have 11 players on your team BEFORE being able to hire them. Having 10 plus a Star is not allowed.

Rule for Multiple of the Same Star Player
This is a once in a lifetime event for most of the guys. As such, some players may pretend to be a Star Player or some of the smart ones will be cloned by Wizards to get double the pay. What does that that mean?

Star Players may play for both teams. There is no “Highlander Rule”.

Player Advancements
You may also choose to spend some of your 1,200,000 gold pieces to purchase skill advancements for
players of your choice. Each player is allowed up to 2 additional skills. This is for regular positions only, not Star Players. ONLY 150K (OR LESS IF YOU CHOOSE TO BUY LESS SKILLS) OF YOUR 1,200,000 CAN BE USED TO BUY SKILLS FOR YOUR TEAM.
• A normal skill upgrade costs 20,000
• A Doubles skill upgrade costs 30,000
• You MAY NOT purchase Stat upgrades
• You MAY NOT purchase the LEADER skill
• No player may have more than two Skills
• No skill may be taken more than three times
• All Injuries will reset as this is a Resurrection Tournament

Special Balls
Every game will be played with Special Balls (See last page of this document). In Tournament Rounds 1 thru 3 the kicking team will roll a D10 for the ball being used that drive. After each drive ends a new ball is randomized. Round 4 will not only be for the Critter Bowl Championship, but the remaining teams will be at their own Bowl game where the ball will not be randomized.

So for example your team might not make the Critter Bowl Championship but you did make the Nurgle King Bowl which only uses the Nurgling ball.

Special Weather
The weather that everyone will use will be rolled by the father Sarge. So if you don’t like the weather blame him. The Special Weather chart can be seen on the last page of this Rule Pack.

NAF Tournament Info
This is a NAF approved tournament. If you wish to receive limited edition colored Block Dice and have your tournament progress tracked, there will be an NAF registration onsite for the cost of $10/year.
More information can be found at TheNAF.net

Illegal Procedure
In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Illegal Procedures will not be called

Timing
The two hour and 15 minute rounds WILL be strictly enforced. You will receive ‘Time Remaining’ updates from the Tournament Organizer to help you stay on pace.

The 4 Minute turn rule will not be used unless the Tournament organizer feels your game is in danger of not completing in the two hour timelimit. He may insist on a timer being used and enforcing the 4 minute turn rule.

Dice
You are encouraged to share dice with your opponent. Only GW or NAF Block Dice may be used and only the Custom D6’s received at registration may be used. You and your opponent should decide whose set of dice will be used.

Scoring
After each round you will fill out the game sheet based on the game just completed.
• A WIN is worth 3pts
• A DRAW is worth 1pts
• A LOSS is worth 0pts

Overtime
There will be no overtime played. If your game ends in a draw, it’s a draw.

Top Table (Only if the event has 10 or more coaches)
At the beginning of Round 4 the #1 and #2 ranked coaches will be playing for the title of Critter Bowl Champion and 2nd place. Regard-less of any bonus points, the winner of this Top Table game is the Critter Bowl Champion. If the game ends in draw, then Total Tournament points will be used to decide the Champion.

Tiebreakers
The Scoring system has been setup to hopefully get the most accurate representation of how everyone has performed. If, by chance there is a tie in Tournament points, the ties will be broken in this order:
• Winning Percentage
• Strength of Schedule
• Head to Head record
• Net TDs plus Net CAS
• Total TDs plus Total CAS

If it is still a tie at that point, the tournament organizer will use his best judgment in finding a way to break the tie.

Painting
All teams are expected to meet the minimum painted guidelines. They must have 3 colors on them and have had some attempt at making them appear finished.

Sportsmanship
We are here for the fun of the game. Sportsmanship is not encouraged from the coaches it is required!

Fouling 16 turns in a row and running up the score is not poor sportsmanship, but gloating and ridiculing your opponent while doing so is.

Sportsmanship Awards will be determined based on answers given in the Etiquette Sheet.

Tournament Organizer will strictly enforce the “Don’t be a Douche” policy. Basically, it consists of not performing any acts of Douchebaggery.


Awards (NOTE: ALL AWARDS WILL BE CERTIFICATES)
The following awards will be given out after the last round:
o Critter Bowl Champion - Winner of Top Table in Round 4* (if more than 10 people)
o 2nd Place - Loser of the Top table round 4* (if more than 10 people)
o Del Zine Cup (3rd Place)- The Coach that finishes with the highest overall tournament points that wasn’t at the top table.
o Best Offense Certificate - Team that scored the most TDs
o Best Defense Certificate - Team that allowed the fewest TDs
o Most Brutal Certificate - Team that inflicted the most Casualties from Blocking
o Stunty Cup – Highest rated Stunty Team (Halflings, Goblins, Ogre) in standings
o Fan Favorite - Best team as decided by player vote. Tournament Organizer will have final say and break any ties.
o Best Sportsman - Best Sportsman as decided by player vote. Tournament Organizer will have final say and break any ties.
o Poopy Diaper Award - Coach that finished with lowest number of Tournament points

Spread The Wealth
A coach may only win one award. If they are in line to win more than one award, they will be asked which one they would prefer and the next coach in line will be given the other award. Tournament organizers reserve the right to adjust the awards, i.e. Back of the Pack has to have played in all 4 rounds.

Critter Bowl
Special Ball Table

1 Scarab Ball – The ball is replaced by a Scarab. Any time the ball lands in an empty square. It will move in a random direction decided by the scatter template (DCool and will move a D6 worth of squares. It will move its full movement before a bouncing ball pick-up attempt can be used. The ball will never move out of bounds on its own, it will stop in the last square it would move too. It could be kicked out of bounds on a kick off.

2 Baby Purple Worm Ball – The ball is made from a baby purple worm tied into a ball with a wire. When kicked the wire cuts the ball in two pieces while in the air. Scatter each ball separately, then the kick off result. Once one ball is used to score a Touchdown then the other ball is removed from play. If during the game one ball hits the other act as if it hit a prone player and bounce again. No player may hold both balls unless that player has the Extra Arms skill. All other ball rules are as normal.

3 Old Ones Crystal Skull Ball – Legend says this ball is cursed, well it is! The carrier of this ball is granted the Leap skill, if you have Leap skill already you lose that skill. (All leap attempts using this skill succeed on a 3+ no matter the players AG)

4 Flying Squirrel Ball – This little fella can soar thru the air with ease. All players holding this ball get the Hail Mary Pass skill. Players also get to use Strong Arm when attempting a Long Pass or Long Bomb.

5 Dead Pig Ball – It’s a dead pig used as the ball… nothing special here, except we can eat him after or during the game.

6 Vampire Bat Ball – The ball carrier suffers from Blood Lust, any member of your team is eligible for the Blood Lust attack, if the ball carrier cannot allow the ball to bite someone then he runs off the pitch in a panic as the ball tried to attack them.

7 Ginger Badger Ball – This little critter gets angry and hot when held. When a player with this ball begins an action he must roll a D6, on a 1 he drops the ball and the ball scatters as normal, on a 2-6 the player withstands the heat for the turn. Dropping the ball due to the heat does cause a turnover and scatters as normal.


8 Morg Plush Doll Ball – It’s a stuffed doll of the greatest Blocker Ogre ever Morg N’thorg… so nothing special here.

9 Dragon Egg Ball – When this ball hits the ground it emits a fireball. The location of the ball is always the center of the fireball, to see who is hit by the fireball use the Fireball rules found with the Wizard Rules in the CRP or LRB6 (Rulebook).

10 Agatha the Dog Ball – This dog… er ball is rather heavy. For any picking up, throwing, catching, or intercept attempts the player uses their ST, instead of their AG. This ball when kicked scatters as if the Kick skill was used.


Special Weather table
(Sarge will roll for initial weather for all tables.)
2 Sweltering Heat
3 Very Sunny
4-10 Perfect Weather!
11 Pouring Rain
12 Blizzard
