Tournament Rules

We will be using new BB 2020 Rules from the boxset.

Optional Rules/Clarifications

The Illegal Procedure rule will not be in use, nor is the 4-minute “timer” rule. However, you may be given a certain amount of time to complete your game should you be running late.
Normal resurrection rules are in effect, meaning that SPPs are not recorded and injuries do not carry over between games

Team Building Rules

You are given 1,150,000 gold pieces to build your team using the approved team lists. You may purchase players, rerolls, apothecary, dedicated fans, coaches, and cheerleaders as normal. Team rosters must consist of at least 11 players. Star Players do not count toward this total.

We will be using the updated BB 2020 team lists from the BB 2020 Rule Book, the GW produced Teams of Legend document, and the NAF Rules for Tournaments document.
The latter two documents can be found online at the following sites:
Teams of Legend https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/jsC3I47S92B7QwND.pdf
NAF Rules for Tournaments https://www.thenaf.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/NAF-Rules-for-Tournaments-2021.pdf

You may purchase players, Rerolls, Apothecary, Cheerleaders, Assistant Coaches, and Dedicated Fans as per the normal rules from the BB 2020 Rulebook. You must have at least 11 players.

Inducements

With your initial 1,150,000 GP you may also purchase inducements from the following list.

0-2 Bloodweiser Kegs – 50k GP – Available to all teams.
0-3 Bribes – 100k GP (50k GP for teams with the “Bribery and Corruption” special rule) – Available to all teams.
0-1 Mortuary Assistant – 100k GP – Available to any team with the “Sylvanian Spotlight” Special Rule.
0-1 Plague Doctor – 100k GP – Available to any team with the “Favored of Nurgle” Special Rule.
0-1 Riotous Rookies – 100k GP – Available to any team with the “Low Cost Linemen” Special Rule.
0-1 Halfling Master Chef – 300k GP (100k GP for teams with the “Halfling Thimble Cup” special rule) – Available to all teams.
0-2 Star Players – Price Varies – Available to all teams (stars availability is based on each stars specific rules, also you must have 11 players before you can select a Star Player)

Additional Skills

After you build your team with the 1,150,000 gold pieces your team gets 160k GP to purchase skills
20k GP for a Primary Skill
40k GP for a Secondary Skill (30k for players on a Stunty team. Stunty teams are Ogre, Goblin, Halfling, and Snotling)

All skills are assigned before the tournament begins and should be reflected on team rosters.
Each player may receive no more than 2 added skills, though those skills must be primary skills.

There is no limit to the number of any single skill, so if you want block on six of your saurus (sauri?) and one skink then you can.

Star Players

Star Players can be chosen from the list within the BB20 Rulebook, Spike Magazine 11

Please note there is no highlander rule, and any star player is allowed to face off against him/herself.

Prayers to the Squig Gods

The Prayers to the Squig Gods table will be used in place of the Prayers to Nuffle Table. Additionally at the beginning of each half, each coach will receive a roll on the Prayers to the Squig Gods table.

NAF Tournament Info

This will be a NAF approved tournament. If you wish to receive limited edition yearly gift and have your tournament progress tracked, there will be a NAF official onsite accepting registration for the cost of $5/year. More information can be found at T heNAF.net

SCARS

This tournament is approved as a part of the Southern Central Amorical Regional Series (SCARS) and coaches will receive points as a part of the series.

Timing

The time limit WILL be strictly enforced. You will receive ‘Time Remaining’ updates from the Tournament Organizer to help you stay on pace.

When time is called, you will play “even turns”. If you just started turn 7(for example), then you and your opponent each finish turn 7. If the inactive player has already played the current turn the game ends upon completion of the active player’s current turn.

If requested by one of the players after an hour has passed a chess clock may be used by an official to keep the game on pace.

Dice

Only GW, NAF, or Texas Block Dice will be allowed. You are required to share dice with your opponent if requested.

Scoring

During each round, you will fill out a score sheet to track your progress. At the end of eachmatch, you will add up the scoring as follows:

A WIN is worth 55pts
A DRAW is worth 25pts
A LOSS is worth 5pts
If you lose by 1 Touchdown, you earn +2 bonus pts
If you caused 1 more CAS from Blocking than opp you earn +2 bonus pts
If you caused 2 or more CAS from Blocking than opp you earn +5 bonus pts
If you clear the pitch you earn +5 bonus pts (Once per game)
If you won by 2 Touchdowns you earn +2 bonus pts
If you won by 3 or more Touchdowns you earn +5 bonus pts
If you finished the game by using all turns +3 bonus pts

There is a no championship game the standings will solely be determined by total points

Overtime

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

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:

Head to Head
Winning Percentage
TD Diff + Cas Diff
TD Diff
Triple Skulls

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 to enjoy the game of Blood Bowl. We expect good sportsmanship. Note that fouling 16 turns in a row and running up the score is not poor sportsmanship, however gloating and ridiculing your opponent while doing so is.

Awards

The following awards will be given out after the last round:

Golden Squig – Most Tournament Points.
Silver Squig – Second Most Tournament Points.
Bronze Squig – 3rd Most Tournament Points.
We Got the Hops Award – Most TDs
No Hops For You!! Award – Fewest TDs Allowed

Four balls are dropped onto the field. One in each “sweet spot” (7 squares from the sideline and 7 squares from the line of scrimmage) and the other two close to the line of scrimmage (7 squares from the sideline and 3 squares from the line of scrimmage) then each ball scatters once.

During each coaches turn they can choose to blitz or foul. If blitzing, before any dice are rolled, each squig that could provide an assist has to state whether or not they will provide that assist and to whom.

Rules for picking up a ball and catching a bouncing ball is the same as in Blood Bowl.

If a Squig starts its turn with a ball they absentmindedly eat it.

A squig cannot hold more than one ball at a time. and two balls cannot occupy the same space.

The match ends after all the ball have been eaten, or until the TO calls time.

Score as follows:

1 point for each KO caused by block or foul
2 point for each casualty caused by foul
3 point for each casualty caused by block
6 point for each ball eaten
