A quick rundown of team building and pitch rules.

Coaches have the standard 1,000,000 crowns with which to build their teams and have an additional 60,000 crowns that may be used to purchase skills. You may purchase skills and stat increases as follows:

Regular Skill - 20K
Doubles Skill - 30K
+MA/AV - 30K
+AG - 40K
+ST - 50K

Any unused money from the 60,000 may be used towards Fan Factor only. Coaches must CLEARLY indicate on their rosters what their pre-game skill choice(s) are and who it was given to.


Also all games except game 4 will be played using the rules for the Bongo Chasm.

The Bongo Chasm:
The Bongo Chasm is located beside a great chasm, deep within the Lustrian jungle. Very
few outsiders have been able to see this field and returned to speak of it. The treacherous
winds and slippery surface (due to all the banana peels) have seen to the fact that anyone
uninvited did not leave alive. But now mighty Blood Bowl teams have been invited to
play before Bongo to see who is truly the most powerful.
The Pitch:
The pitch itself is located beside an enormous chasm. Perhaps the most striking
difference the teams will notice is that there are no spectators on the south side of the
field. While this may seem to save the players the danger of being pushed into the
crowd, the entire south side of the pitch ends into a chasm.
Stumps/Rocks: As the field lies between a Chasm and a dense jungle, the pitch has
stumps or rocks littering the outskirts of the pitch. Each player will roll a d6 before
determining kick/receive. Each coach will receive obstacles to be placed on the field.
According to the dice result they roll.
1 = 1 rock/stump
2-4 = 2 rocks/stumps
5 = 3 rocks/stumps
6 = 4 rocks/stumps
These obstacles can only be places on either short sides of the pitch. No rocks/stumps
may be placed in the middle playing area.
South Side Crowd Push: If a player should be pushed off the pitch on the south side
then they have been pushed off the field and into the Chasm. The coach of the pushed
player must immediately roll a d6 and on a roll of 4+ a Giant Eagle plucks you up before
you strike the rapids below. The eagle will drop you into your dugout and the player may
be placed in the reserved box. If you fail the roll then the player falls into the rapids and
misses the rest of the game.

Weather:
Being located within and open area beside a chasm leads the pitch to be subjected to
fickle weather conditions. The following table will be used while playing in The Bongo
Chasm.
2 – “Hot & Humid“– The conditions on the pitch is like playing in a huge cauldron of
boiling water. Due to this all players suffer a -1 modifier to all d6 rolls to be made on the
pitch.
3 – “Torrential Rain” – A torrential downpour is causing complete havoc! All attempts
to handle the ball, including Picking Up the ball and all Catch and hand-off rolls have a -
1 modifier. Only Quick Passes may be attempted. The extremely muddy conditions
reduce all MA by 2. (Adjusted MA cannot be reduced below 3). This type of rainfall is
notoriously quick: roll again on the Weather Table after this drive.
4 – 10 “Nice” –Perfect Bongo Bowl Weather
11 – “High Winds“- From time to time the chasm creates high winds or miniature twisters
that ravage the field. Any failed GFI will result in the player being pushed into a random
square (if the square is occupied then the player in the occupied square is moved using
normal rules as if he had been pushed. If a player has the ball and fails a GFI and is
pushed into the end zone then the player fumbles the ball before entering the end zone.
Only quick passes may be made. Kick offs and bouncing balls scatter 1 extra square.
12 – “Mist“- The cold winds mixed with the hot surface of the field has created a mist
thicker than a Bugman’s Brew. All players suffer from Bonehead until the next half or
kick-off.
Kick off table results:
2 – “Tribal Drums” – The natives are restless (which normally means hungry). The
players are so distracted that re-rolls are halved (rounded down) for the remainder of the
game. Re-roll further incidences of Tribal Drums.
3 – “Earth tremor” - The Lustrian jungles are no stranger to earthquakes and the like.
Roll a d6 for each and every player on the field. On the roll of a 1, they are placed prone
(face up) to represent their shaky footing. No injury roll is made, but they must sacrifice
the 3 movement points to stand as normal.
4 – “Severed Head” - A decapitated head is used as a ball. Whenever a player tries to
pick up, catch or receive a hand off roll a D6. On a result of 1 the player is too revolted to
by the Head ending his action.
5 – “High Kick” - as per normal kick off rules
4
6 – “Cheering Fans” - as per normal kick off rules
7 – “Changing Weather” – as per normal kick off rules
8 – “Brilliant Coaching” - as per normal kick off rules
9 – “Quick Snap” - as per normal kick off rules
10 – “Blitz!” – as per normal kick off rules.
11 – “Throw a Banana” – as per normal kick off rules (throw a rock)
12 – “Banana Peels” – Those misfit monkeys have littered the pitch with banana peels,
making it hazardous to attempt any heroics. Players cannot use the following skills:
Dodge, Sure Feet and Leap. All GFI will fail on a 1 & 2.


Hope to see yas all out for the tourney.
