RULES

"Daemons of Khorne" will no longer be a permitted roster due to being superseded by the official GW Khorne team.
Team Building:
Coaches are given a starting gold pieces allowance of 1,150,000 for the purposes of selecting players, re rolls, sideline staff and purchasing any inducements permitted. This is completely separate from the inclusion of additional skills, which will be covered below.
Inducements:
PLEASE SEE BELOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EXISTING STAR PLAYER RULING FOR JUNE AND THE STAR PLAYER RULING WHICH WILL REPLACE THIS AT ALL PITCH INVASION TOURNAMENTS AFTER JUNE
JUNE:
Star Players are not permitted except for the following teams, who may take ONE, only after a regular 11 players have been rostered:
Goblins
Ogres
Halflings
Snotlings
SEPTERMBER ONWARD:
Star Players are permitted in the following two categories:
STUNTY TEAMS (Goblins, Ogres, Snotlings and Halflings):
May take a maximum of one star player from all GW published star players from Blood Bowl Second Season Edition onward, after a regular 11 players have been rostered.
ALL OTHER TEAMS:
May take a maximum of one star player from all GW published star players from Blood Bowl Second Season Edition onwards, after a regular 11 players have been rostered, except the following players which are prohibited for non-stunty teams:
Morg N' Thorg
Deeproot Strongbranch
Hakflem Skuttlespike
Griff Oberwald
Mercenaries are not permitted.
The only inducements permitted are Bloodweiser Kegs, Halfling Master Chefs, and Bribes, which are paid for out of the 1,150,000 gold pieces referenced above prior to the tournament. No inducements are able to be purchased at the table, so spend that gold!
Additional Skills:
Once you have fully purchased your team as described above, you may distribute additional skills amongst your players. A coach may select ONE of the following two skill packages:
8 Primary Skills OR
5 Primary Skills and 2 Secondary Skills
A maximum of two skills may be stacked onto the same player (including both Secondary skills if you wish). Aside from this, there are no other limitations such as limits on duplicate skills etc. *FAQ* Yes this means more than one player may have two skills, just no more than two skills per player. A coach that wishes to take the latter skill package listed above may substitute one of the Secondary skills with a Primary skill should they wish, but they will gain no further skills as a result (i.e. they will still have seven skills total to allocate). Statistic increases are not an option, otherwise... they'd be listed above...
All teams must be painted with at least 3 colours and be comprised of appropriate fantasy miniatures which reflect the positionals they are intended to represent.
The Prayers to Nuffle Table:
Any reference to rolling on the “Prayers to Nuffle” Table must utilise the Exhibition variant of the table found on page 103 of the Blood Bowl rulebook.
What You Need
A painted team (minimum 3 colours)
Board and dugout
Dice
Templates
ONE printed roster

FAQ - Yes that includes if your opponent fails a dodge or rush and kills themselves. ANY injury counts for your CAS.

Very nice and tidy
I like the new Starplayer rule, we can see more variety without 28 Morgs/Griffs

Re: Pitch Invasion! One Dayers 2022 - High Wycombe, Bucks - NEXT UP SEPT 22nd!!
Hello TFF friends... (UK based for the most part!)
Many of you have known me or at the very least bumped into me on the UK tournament scene for a long time now. As some of you will know, I opened a gaming store in High Wycombe in 2018 where I now run my BB tournaments. I'm thrilled to have welcomed several of you a few times already for them.
In Oct or Nov, looking like 60/40 Oct I'd say, we're going to be moving into new premises smack bang in the middle of the High Street in Wycombe. Long story short it's going to cost... a lot.
So what I'd like to plead is... if any of you are thinking of coming to the Pitch Invasion events we're running in Set/Oct/Nov/Dec... PLEASE could you buy your ticket(s) now. Every penny we can generate through end of Aug / Sept will be crucial for getting this over the line, and I'm sure when you come along and see the new place and the wonderful facilities we will have, you will appreciate it as money well spent.
If you could help in doing this, I would be eternally grateful.
Cheers
Tom (nonumber)

Hey man,
The refund policy is that we can give you a refund up to two weeks before the event date. So if you book a ticket for December now you have until two weeks before the event for a refund.

Cool,
Booked for September, November and December.
In October I'll go to Strangle Bowl in Leicester. September is sandwich between 2 London tournaments, I hope it doesn't cost me the marriage
