Feel free to join even if not participating in the series as it is a good place to share leagues and events in the area:
We are delighted to be announce we have NAF approval for the first South East Tournament Series. This will be a closed series meaning only set events are included in tournament scoring.
This is a tournament series that is intended to run each calendar year beginning in 2024. For the inaugural series there will be events encompassing Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, Suffolk, Hampshire and Oxfordshire.
The calendar for 2024 is outlined below.

This post will be updated as and when event details are finalised.
Two events have been added as some of the events were having issues with the date/venue and so it is hoped that this way there will be at least 10 events in the series even if some are not finalised.
If (as is hoped) we run another series in 2025, we will offer the TOs from 2024 the same slot in the calendar.
In the meantime if any other TOs are interested in running an event in 2025 (or wish to be a reserve if any of the above do not go ahead), please get in touch with the TSO who will also be making a note of proposals. The total number of events will be capped at 10 for each year.
Once the tournament series has NAF approval, we will ask TOs to submit each event for NAF approval as soon as it is feasible for them to do so.
Tournament Series Format
In order to be eligible for any of the awards, a coach must have competed in a certain number of events in the series. Only a coach’s top scores will count towards their overall points total.
The number of events required will depend on the final number of events in the series:
10+ events - top 5 scores, min 5 events attended
8-9 events - top 4 scores, min 4 events attended
6-7 events - top 3 scores, min 3 events attended
This is being included here in case for any reason some of the events above do not go ahead.
For the Most Touchdowns and Most Casualties awards the rules are slightly different. These awards are going to include all touchdowns and all casualties a coach records over the whole series.
As events may have a different number of matches or format, and potentially different rules about what counts as a casualty, taking the top x number of scores may skew towards coaches who attend certain events over others.
Series Prizes
- 1st Place
- 2nd Place
- 3rd Place
- Terry’s Award for Yoof (top coach under 18 as of 1st January 2024)
- Stunty cup (Top placed coach who played stunty teams in enough qualifying tournaments)
- Most Touchdowns
- Most Casualties
Stunty Cup and Yoof Award will be awarded if uncontested, as long as there is a player who is eligible and has played enough qualifying tournaments.
Coaches will need to inform us if they are eligible for the Yoof Award.
We will use the 1 prize per coach rule, so for example, if the winning coach also scored most touchdowns, the most TD award would filter down to the coach with the 2nd most TDs. The only exception to this is the Yoof Award - the winner of this is eligible to win 1 other award.
The intention will be to award these prizes at the final event of the series (if feasible) or the first event of the 2025 series.
Tie-breakers if needed for placings (including Yoof and Stunty awards) are:
1) Most tournaments attended
2) Best x TD and Best x Cas performances combined
3) Best x TD performances
4) Best x Cas performances
5) Bribes offered to TSO
6) Thumb War (best of 3)
For the most TD and Cas awards tie-breakers 2-4 are ignored.
Tournament Series Points
Points will be awarded as below:
Overall Finishing Position
1st place 10 points or the number of entrants in the event, whichever is lower.
Each place below this gets 1 point less (e.g. 2nd place 9 points, 3rd place 8 points)
There is an additional point for every 10 coaches below you (i.e. in larger tournaments you will get additional points for a top 10 finish, and lower placings will also receive points).
Whichever tiebreakers are used in the event attended will determine the final finishing position used for this result. Tournament Series tiebreakers will not overrule this.
Prizes
There will be 2 additional points for winning any of the following awards if they are included in the event:
First place
Most casualties
Most touchdowns
Stunty cup
Other awards may receive points on a discretionary basis and will be announced in each event’s rulespack if they do. If a TO wishes to propose an additional award for a series prize, please ask the TSO in advance of the NAF proposal.
If the tournament has a 1 prize per coach rule and an award gets handed down (e.g. if the coach that wins the tournament also has most touchdowns and the TD prize is handed down to the coach with the 2nd most touchdowns) then only the coach who receives the prize will receive the additional points.
Team Tournaments
Whilst a team event is exactly that, a team event - the Tournament Series is an individual event. Therefore, only individual scores from team events will be taken towards the Tournament Series points.
Tracking the Series
Updates on points will be posted after each event on Discord, TalkFantasyFootball and Facebook as well as other social media. A spreadsheet has been created to keep a track of all the scores.
What is expected of Tournament Organisers (TOs)
To have event submitted for NAF approval asap (ideally before 1 Jan 2024).
To provide the TSO with full details of final standings and awards presented as well as either races used or identifying which coaches played a stunty race.
To be awesome to each other (eg promote other events, encourage attendance at other events etc).
To upload results to the NAF in a timely manner.
To let the TSO know asap if there are any issues. |

I’m pleased to announce that tickets for the Kent Team Championship 2024, the first event in the series, are now on sale!
For the teams that were super keen and didn’t notice the on sale date, your place is booked. This is a learning we will take for future events about how to announce on sale dates.
Please fill out this registration form (https://forms.gle/MYrmTsiuhTAd1aRNA) and then send the entry free as a payment to Friends and Family via paypal to skabbleague@gmail.com.
Please note, information given on the form can be changed at a later date, however it will reduce admin work to have information as correct as possible now.
If you want a spot, it is £100 for a 4-coach team or £115 for a 5-coach team (including a spare). The spare will be guaranteed 4-NAF ranked games and will play either (in priority order):
In a spare team to ensure there are an even number of teams
To fill in for any drop outs on other teams
Rotating with their team and playing against other spare players
I will update the TFF post on Tuesday with teams who have entered so far.
