Entry costs and payment

Entry is £12.50 per coach, and all coaches need to be NAF registered.

Please send payments by paypal to admin@wybbl.org.uk. Could you select the 'gift' or 'paying a friend' option so we don't lose out on fees please? Please tell us your NAF name and number if registered. As we will be paying for the trophies and venue using funds collected we will be unable to offer refunds, we will however look to help coaches sell on their ticket should they have to drop out.

Rules

Wibble Bowl will be using the current NAF rules in place on the tournament day.

The Illegal Procedure will not be enforced. There is a time limit for games, so coaches are encouraged to play 4 minute turns to ensure games are completed. Any games that reach the time limit will have to be halted and the result at this point will be the final result of that game.

We will be using the standard "Resurrection" rules; coaches will play each match with the same starting roster and do not need to record SPPs or any ongoing injuries. Undead, Necro or Nurgle teams may not keep 'raised' players from game to game.
Coaches may spend up to 1,100,000 gold crowns on their team roster. Rosters may include one star player as part of their team; the star player may be part of the starting eleven players. Halfling, Goblin and Ogre teams are an exception to this rule; they may have two star players, both of which can be part of the starting eleven players.

No inducements may be taken except goblins who make take up to 3 bribes at 50k each, and halflings who may hire a master chef for 100k.

Each team will be offered a skills package to enhance their players; this will be done on a tier system.
TIER 1 Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Lizardman, Norse, Orc, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elf, Bretonians
TIER 2 Chaos, Chaos Pact, Elf, High Elf, Human, Khemri, Necromantic, Nurgle, Slann, Khorne
TIER 3 Halfling, Goblin, Ogre, Underworld, Vampire

The packages will be as follows:
TIER 1 = 2 normal skills
TIER 2 = 3 normal skills
TIER 3 = 3 normal skills and 1 double skill
You may not assign more than one additional skill to any player and star players may not have additional skills added..

Games and Scoring

The first round will be drawn randomly, with all further rounds using the Swiss system. The overall winner will be the coach 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)
+1 Bonus point per casualty (max 3 bonus points)
+1 Bonus point per interception (max 3 bonus points)
Ties (for both Swiss and final winner) will be resolved as follows:
Ties to be determined on the following (in order) Head to Head, Strength of Schedule, Combined TD and Causality difference

Casualty score in this case is casualties from BLOCKING ONLY (including "defensive" ones where the blocking player ends up injured and gives the intended victim a casualty point).

Things To Bring With You

A painted team.
Your Blood Bowl board, templates and dice.
Three roster sheets (one for the head ref, one for yourself and one for your opponent).

If we moved this back to Sunday, would people still attend?

The Stunty Slam is now happening on the 15th of September too, so I'm looking at potentially putting Wibble Bowl back a day so that people can attend both tournaments with us being in close proximity.

[fire olli]

I am ok with that

[indiana-utah]

We have now officially moved the date back to the 16th of September to allow coaches to attend the Stunty Slam on the 15th, and Wibble Bowl on the 16th.

Early Bird discount available until the 31st of July 2018
