COMPLETE TOURNAMENT RULES
TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The tournament will be played on Saturday January 30th. You will participate in a series of three games. After each game, you will play against a different opponent. In the first round pairing will be done randomly.
After each round the two players in 1st and 2nd place (based on points) will play each other, the players in 3rd and 4th place will play each other, and so on…. you should not play the same person twice.
After three rounds of play the top point earner (including painting) will be declared the winner.
ROSTERS
Coaches have the standard 1,000,000 crowns with which to build their teams. Coaches must CLEARLY indicate on their rosters what their pre-game skill choice is and who it was given to (see Skill Advancement below). This money can also be used to purchase inducements.
Official Races for the tournament are: Amazons, Chaos, Chaos Dwarf, Chaos Pact, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Elf, Goblin, Halfling, High Elf, Human, Khemri, Lizardmen, Necromantic, Norse, Nurgle’s Rotters, Ogre, Orc, Skaven, Slann, Undead, Underworld, Vampire, and Wood Elf
RAISING THE DEAD
The extra player in both cases (Necromantic and Undead teams) is added mid-match and is removed from the roster after the match. The positional maximums do apply (no more than 16 zombies).
TIMERS AND ILLEGAL PROCEDURE
No timers will be used unless both coaches agree at the beginning of the match. Illegal procedure may not be called during the tournament as it does not promote the spirit of the event appropriately.
DEATH AND INJURIES
All rosters reset after each match, thus any seriously injured or deceased players will be back for your next match.
THE SCREAMING FANS!
The diehard fans of BloodBowl are known to be a violent, foul smelling, ill tempered lot at the best of times…. and the Winter Fouling Formal brings out only the most die hard fans of all! This unruly lot of degenerates loves nothing more than getting their grubby mitts on BloodBowl players and treating them to a little ‘hospitality’.
SKILLS
Coaches may give a skill to 3 players of their choice before Round 1, following the rules for a normal advancement roll.
Additionally, coaches can choose 1 of the following:
For the purposes of the additional skill, a Big Guy is any player of S5 or more
This tournament embraces the fine art of fouling (It’s against the rules, but it’s in the rules!) and in that spirit the following additional skill options will apply:
For the purpose of these skill options, a ‘lineman’ is the 0-16 choice on a team’s roster
KICK OFF TABLE
The LRB 5.0 Kick-Off Table will be used with the following changes:
TOURNAMENT POINTS
After finishing their game, both coaches should complete the form and hand it in to the TO. It is important that you fill in all the information as this will determine your ranking and ultimately, the winner of the tournament.
Teams will be ranked after each game using the following criteria in the order given:
Tournament points:
PAINTING
A portion of the tournament points will be awarded based upon team painting and presentation. Up to 10 points are awarded based on the criteria below. The official tournament judges will evaluate each team based on these 5 points and not on the aesthetics of the team. This means that any painter of any standard can gain the maximum 10 points if he/she puts in the effort and follows the guidelines below. All judges’ decisions are final.
IMPORTANT: In order to get the points, all models in the team must fulfill the criteria. If even one model fails, the points will not be awarded.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Even though this tournament is a celebration of the fine art of Fouling (It’s against the rules, but it’s in the rules!), this does not mean that players should forget that the game is about having fun. As always, Sportsmanship is not encouraged from attendees, it is REQUIRED! Each player will be asked to rank their favorite opponents to determine overall Best Sportsman.
AWARDS
There will be a prize for the Tournament Champion, Best Painted Team, Best Sportsman, Most Brutal, Most Touchdowns, and the humiliating glory of the Paddle of Shame. There will also be ‘1st’ awards given for First Score, First Casualty, First Foul Ejection, Trip over the Goal Line (failed GFI for a score), and Triple/Quad Skulls ( a 3 die block all ‘Skull’ or a 2 die ‘Skull’ block re-rolled with the same result)
