Tourplay

https://tourplay.net/en/blood-bowl/mobowl-ii
You will need a phone, tablet or other internet connectable device in order to view draws and track / input your results etc.
Leodis does have good guest wifi and info to connect will be available on the day.

Rules
Mo’Bowl II will be using current (Second Season) rules and NAF approved additions as follows.
• Blood Bowl Second Season Rulebook (SSRB)
• Teams of Legend from Warhammer Community Page.
• NAF Rules for Tournaments (including Slann teams)
• Star players from Spike! Magazines editions 11-13 (NOT 14 or later)
• Note that the rules for Exhibition Play are being used (Second Season Rulebook pages 101-103)
• As we will be using “Resurrection” rules; coaches will play each match with the same starting roster and do not need to record SPPs or any ongoing injuries.
• Undead, Necromantic and Nurgle teams may gain an additional player as per the relevant “Masters of Undeath” or “Plague Ridden” rules but any players gained this way do not carry over to subsequent matches
• The ref team will be on hand to ensure rounds run to time and will advise of time remaining periodically throughout each round.
• Each player on your roster must be represented by an appropriate painted miniature. You do not need to have miniatures for coaching staff but of course may do so if you wish.

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 turner 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!

Rosters
Rosters are purchased with a treasury of 1,150,000 gold crowns as per the exhibition play rules on page 101 of the Second Season rulebook.
Only the following inducements are permitted
(Your team must include at least 11 standard players before purchasing any inducements)

• 0-3 Bribes 100k each (50k for teams with the Bribery and Corruption special rule)
• 0-1 Riotous Rookies 100k (Ogre or Snotling teams only)
• 0-1 Halfling Master Chef 300k (100k for Halfling teams)
• TIER 3 TEAMS ONLY may hire 0-2 Star Players as detailed below. NOTE this costs a “tax” of some of the team’s skill allocation in addition to their hiring cost as detailed below.
• If two coaches are drawn against each other in the tournament with the same Star Player(s) on their roster, then both coaches are permitted to use the Star (contrary to the normal rule).

Additional Skills
Each team will be offered a skills package to enhance their players; this will be done using the published tier system. We may adjust this for future events once more data is available.

TIER 1: Amazons, Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, High Elves, Lizardmen, Norse, Shambling Undead, Skaven, Underworld Denizens, Wood Elves
TIER 2: Black Orc, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegade, Elven Union, Humans, Imperial Nobility, Khorne, Necromantic Horror, Nurgle, Old World Alliance, Orcs, Slann, Tomb Kings, Vampires
TIER 3 (stunty): Goblin, Halfling, Ogres, Snotlings

The packages will be as follows:
TIER 1 = 4 primary skills - You may only take primary skills
TIER 2 = 5 primary skills OR 4 Primary skills and 1 Secondary skill
TIER 3 (Stunty) = 7 primary skills (See Below for more info)
You lose 2 primary skills for each star player you decide to roster, mega stars cost an additional 2 primary skills e.g Griff would cost x2 primary for hiring a star, plus an additional x2 primary skills for being a Mega Star, leaving x3 primary skills to use.
You still have to pay the hiring cost of the star(s) as normal
You may swap two primary skills for a secondary skill, ONLY if you do not take any stars players – you may do this up to twice
All skills are to be chosen and recorded prior to the tournament. Random skills are NOT allowed. Players may receive a maximum of one additional skill. There are no restrictions on skill duplication i.e. you may give multiple players the same skill if you wish. Star Players may not be given additional skills.



The Power of the ‘Tash’
In the spirit of all things Movember, we will on registration be handing out all manner of fake moustaches. This moustache will grant you one Wondering Apothecary or Igor to use per game.
Please note standard rules for use of the above applies.


Games and Scoring
The first round will be drawn randomly, with all further rounds using the Swiss system. The overall winner will be the team with the most points at the end of the day – there will be no final.
Points are scored as follows:
50 points for a win.
20 points for a draw.
0 points for a loss.
+1 Bonus point per touchdown (max 3 bonus points in each round)
+1 Bonus point per casualty (max 3 bonus points in each round)
Ties to be determined on the following (in order) Head to Head, Strength of Schedule, Combined TD and Casualty difference
Casualty score in this case is casualties from BLOCKING ONLY. Note that if a blocking player rolls an attacker down (skull) or both down result and is injured it counts as a casualty for the player they were trying to block.

Awards

Things To Bring With You
A painted team.
Your Blood Bowl board.
Dice.
Templates.

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.
