THE FORMAT

Coaches will have 1,200,000 gold coins to recruit their team. All NAF approved teams from the official NAF Team List are legal for this tournament https://www.thenaf.net/wp-content/uploa ... s-v1-5.pdf.

NAF approved Star Players are allowed but they must be represented by a suitable miniature. Coaches can purchase any of the following Inducements.

0-2 Budweiser kegs
0-1 Extra team training
0-2 Bribes
0-1 Halfling Master Chef (Halfling teams only)
0-2 Star Players
Before the tournament, you can assign 4 of your players with an additional skill from their Normal Skills list and 1 of your players with a double roll skill, however this can not include a stat increase! You can only select up to 2 of the same skill (excluding ones that are already a starting stat).

Please mark sure that you mark these on your roster before the start of the tournament. These skills will stick with the players for the duration of the tournament, so choose wisely.

We will be using the rules from the Games Workshop Blood Bowl boxset and all relevant Death Zone supplement books.

Coaches will have 2 hours 15 minutes to finish each game. You can play out the last point.

Teams are reset after each match so all casualties, injuries and Star Player points are wiped clean and do not carry over.

The weather is always perfect for Blood Bowl in Crediton so you don’t need to roll for weather before each match. If you should role a change of weather result on the Kick Off table, then the ball will simply bounce twice. (we’ve bribed the Met Office to give us perfect Blood Bowl weather!).

TEAMS

All teams must be fully painted and numbered. Non Games Workshop miniatures are allowed but they must be to the appropriate scale. We will be awarding a prize to the best

SPECIAL PLAY CARDS

We will not be using any special play cards during this tournament.

COACHES

Coaches will be able to argue calls as per the rules in Deathzone. You don’t need to have a miniature to represent you (but we would encourage it).

REFEREES & PITCH RULES

We will not be using the additional referee and Pitch rules during this tournament.

THE SANDS OF TIME

Illegal procedures and timed turns will not be enforced as we want this to be a fun and friendly tournament however the TO will keep a stock of 3 minute egg timers that players can request should they feel that their opponent is deliberately time wasting in order to gain a tactical advantage.

SCORING

We will be a Swiss Draw tournament and we will be using SCORE to record match results. Matches are recorded on a win/lose/draw scoring system.

Coaches must record touchdowns and causalities (as these will count) only casualties that would generate Star player points must be recorded.

WINNERS

The ExeBowl – Highest ranked coach
The Spoon –2nd to lowest ranked coach
Grand Slam – Most casualties caused during the tournament
Go for It! - Most number of touchdowns scored during the tournament
Stunty cup – Highest ranked stunty team
Best painted team
Best spirited coach

Updated accordingly!

[jonathanc]

I'll be there, looking forward to just taking part this year.

BTW - thread title says ExeBowl IV, should be ExeBowl V.

[Angry Hobbit]

going.

[nazgob]

Is there a reason you only allow 2 bribes?

#GoblinRacism

(I have no problem with it, just wanted to check it wasn't a typo)

[lunchmoney]

Why can only #FlingNation hire a chef? Granted at 300k most other teams won't but why deny the option? (edit: at 1.2mTV is could be an option on a less than optimal, but good fun, team).

[lunchmoney]

Undead can't hire Igor.

Paid for the clan. Sann0638, Dementor, Enderman.

The Masterchef and Bribe rules were suggested to us by NAF and as this is our first time hosting we wanted to keep things simple and easy

[nazgob]

Sounds good!

I think I'll struggle to get down this year, but I hope it goes well!

Any questions on Score, give me a shout

As your local NAF rep I wouldn't suggest limiting bribes to only 2.


Plus, can you add to the OP that this is round 1 of the SWTC please? Appears to be missing again

My bold.
Is this a deliberate change from the kick off table's 7 result? Makes a difference if the ball is coming down near players.
