I do it almost as a point of pride!

But the NAFC is different. We have a lot of people coming who are not regulars or don't have English as a first language. We have people who have played fewer than 6 games in their lives. We have people who more commonly frequent Warhammer or 40K tournaments where printed and detailed army lists are mandatory. We want to be inclusive to all these people. We want them to have all the information possible ready to hand without having to worry about holding a stranger's mobile phone for too long (not a dig a Nazgob, just an example).

Hand in one for double checking, keep the other for your opponent to look at. This has been in all the rulespacks since it was called the Blood Bowl AFAIK.

That's a lie, and now I'm hurt. *sniff*

I thought hand-in, but this comment confused me a little. Doesn't take much.

That may be the case, but for those of us attending for the first time, the only mention in this year's rulespack is 'Each round, before choosing your skill, you are permitted to see your
opponent’s roster including any additional skills he has chosen in previous
rounds. '
No mention that this should be a neat/printed roster, or of needing a 2nd copy, or even that it should be a hard copy, rather than, for example, on a smart phone. Just a point to consider for whoever draws up the rulespack next year.
