Block Around The Clock Rules

Block Around The Clock will be using the CRP / LRB 6.0 rules. The 3 new teams (Slann, Underworld and Chaos Pact) will be allowed.

The Illegal Procedure will not be enforced.

In order to play all 11 games in 24 hours we will be playing 2 hour games. Games will be called if they run over the 2 hours. Regular time updates will be given and I ask that you try to play your game in your 2 hours.

We will be using the standard "Resurrection" rules: teams remain identical from game to game, with casualties, winnings, fan factor rolls etc. not carrying forward.

Undead or Nurgle teams may not keep 'raised' players from game to game.

Team Selection

Coaches may spend up to 1,100,000 gc on their teams.

Coaches may not include Star Players.

An exception to this rule is Halfling, Goblin, Ogre and Underworld teams, who may hire up to two Star Players.

Goblins may take up to 2 bribes and Halfling may purchase a chef.

No other Inducements are allowed.

If a coach spends less than the 1.1m he will not be entitled to Inducements on a game by game basis.


Skills

Each team is allowed ONE Double skill and 5 Single Skills.
You may only give two 2 copies of any skill this way.
Skills may not be stacked

Games and Scoring

All games for Block Around The Clock will be pre-drawn.

The Fixture list will be drawn on the morning of the event.

You must play your games in the order set out in draw.

Points are scored as follows:

2 points for a win.
1 points for a draw.
0 points for a loss.

Tiebreaker for the winner of the tournament is total of opps.points, TD difference plus CAS difference, TDs scored, CAS inflicted, opponent score and alphabetical order of name.

An inflicted CAS is one caused by blocking, crowd pushes, fouls, secret weapons, stabs.


Schedule

Saturday
10.00-10.30 – Registration
10.30-11.00 - DRAW
11.00-13.15 - Game 1
13.15-15.30 - Game 2
15.30-17.45 - Game 3

...and so on.

If you finish your game early feel free to play ahead with agreement of their opponent. Everyone was superb last year in playing in a respectful and timely manner and we had no issues with time management at all, which is a credit to the sixteen players last year. We expect no problems whatsoever this year again.

Prizes

Again we hope to provide prizes and trophies but it all depends on numbers.
The more people that pay the more prizes we will have. We also hope to have a free gift for everyone; again to fund this we need your support

Hope to see you there!
