https://tourplay.net/en/blood-bowl/wibble-bowl-2023

Etiquette
• Blood bowl is a battle of skill and luck between you and your opponent. RULES quick reference guides are useful and encouraged. Play books that tell you HOW to set up, attempt a one turn touch down etc. are not!
• We may not be able to include anyone that arrives after the registration period has closed in the initial round one draw. Previously the head ref has provided emergency spare man cover but we feel we need at least one dedicated ref so we won’t do this here.
• Please don’t distract the top table(s) whilst they are playing the game, especially if you have a vested interest in a particular outcome!

Awards
Subject to sufficient sign ups we aim to give awards in the following categories. We also aim to have a small tournament souvenir (again subject to sufficient sign ups)
• Overall Winner
• Most CAS
• Most TDs
• Stunty Cup (highest placing stunty team)
• Best painted
• Wooden Spoon (last place)

Things To Bring With You
• A painted team.
• A blood bowl pitch.
• Dice.
• Templates.
• Three roster sheets (one for the head ref, one for yourself and one for your opponent).

Covid-19 Safety measures
Hopefully we will be able to run this event with no notable restrictions but please be understanding if we need to apply any appropriate measures. Please do not attend if you or a member of your household has recently tested positive.

Rules clarifications.
Note some rules/interpretations are currently under active discussion, however the ref team would like to make their interpretation and intent on the following clear.
SSRB Page 27 “Falling Over” Please read "If a player Falls Over, a turnover is caused" as "If a player *on the active team* falls over, a turnover is caused". Reasoning: Under some very specific circumstances (e.g. on the ball skill) you may be able to move during your opponent’s turn. Having a player from the inactive team fall over will not cause a turnover in this way.

Thanks Barney, I was aware that I needed to revisit the links, I always draft in word then copy to the site, my bright idea of making the links more user friendly and readable meant they got unlinked when I did that. Anyway hopefully should be fine now?

I'm mildly amused that between us we are hosting 9 WC matches in the same weekend
Good practice if anyone wants it

Indeed, I think we are geographically separated enough that we won't be competing for the same coaches

I did yes, now corrected. I just went into paypal and added any signups I thought I'd missed, I hadn't missed yours after all
