The cost of the tournament will be £20, or £13 if you are a NAF member already. This will get you 4 games of Blood Bowl, and a membership to the NAF if you aren’t yet a member. We can have a maximum of 22 attendees.

Payments should be made via PayPal to fallingdownjoebb@gmail.com - please make the payments as a gift to friends/family so that I don’t have to pay fees. If you are a NAF member please make sure to include your NAF name and number.

Please note that refunds can only be made for cancellations made more than 4 weeks before the event.

Ruleset
Screaming Spires 2 is a Resurrection Tournament using the Blood Bowl 2016 rules as amended by the NAF’s current guidance.

Any Star Players and Inducements found in the following rulebooks may be used: CRP, Death Zones 1 & 2 (or the Almanac), the Nurgle, Chaos, and Dark Elf Spike! Magazines. This includes the Golden Era player Jeremiah Kool. Star players and Inducements from the Undead Spike! May also be used.

All inducements must be rostered - they may not be changed from game to game.

Star Players, Inducements, and any other changes made in further Spike Magazines released after the writing of these rules will be confirmed as and when they come out.

For clarity:
A team reroll is not required to use the Piling On skill
No special play cards are permitted
Halfling Treemen gain the Timberrrr skill
Grak & Crumbleberry are permitted as star players, but only following the amended rules
We will not be using the Illegal Procedure rule

TEAMS
Team Selection
You may choose from any of the NAF-permitted races. At the time of writing this includes the 21 races in the CRP, plus the three additional races (Underworld, Chaos Pact, and Slann). You may also bring Khorne or Bretonnian teams.

Stunty rosters are classified as Halfling, Ogre, or Goblin teams. Additionally, Saurus-free Lizardmen teams and Skaven-less Underworld teams will count as Stunty. Please contact Joe if you have any questions about the legality of your roster.

Whilst you don’t need to send in a roster in advance, please let me know the name of your team and the roster you will be bringing by 11th September so that I can save time on set up in the morning.

Roster Building
You may spend up to 1.15 million gold pieces on your roster. Rosters may hire up to one star player on their team, which can be taken to make up 11 players. Stunty teams are an exception to this: they may hire two star players if they want (Brick Fa’arth & Grotty count as two).

Please bring two copies of your roster: one for your opponent and one for you. Before the first match please take a moment to review your opponents’ roster - if you have any questions about it then do grab me.

Skills
You may give some of your players skills before the tournament. These will stay the same for all matches throughout the tournament. See the tier chart below for information on how many and which type of skills your selected team can choose:

Normal teams: 5 Normal skills
Any team not explicitly mentioned below

Stunty: 5 Normal skills, 2 Double skills
Ogres, Halflings, Goblins, Underworld minus Skaven, Lizardmen minus Saurus

Skills may not be stacked, and star players may not be given additional skills.

SCORING
You will receive 30 points for a win, 10 points for a draw, and 1 point for a loss. I don’t expect anyone to concede, but you would lose 50 points for doing so.
3 bonus points will be awarded per touchdown (Max 9 points per match)
1 bonus point will be awarded per casualty (Max 3 points per match)
2 bonus points will be awarded if you keep a clean sheet

For bonus point purposes, casualties caused by eating a teammate, Thrown Rocks, failed GFIs, lightning bolts, or failed Dodges do not count. Nor do casualties inflicted on your own team by throwing a player. All casualties caused by blocks, secret weapons, fouls or surfs count. If in doubt, ask me.

PRIZES
Winner, Runner-Up, Wooden Spoon (Bottom Place), Most TDs, and Most Casualties. If we have at least 3 coaches playing Stunty rosters then there will be a Stunty Cup. There will also be a number of spot prizes on the day (to be confirmed on the day itself), and a prize for Best Painted Team (details TBC).

What to bring
Please bring:
Two copies of your roster (one for you, one for opponent)
Dice
Throw-in and scatter templates
Ball tokens
A pitch (board if possible due to length of tables)
Your miniatures for your team

Updated - have sent off the ruleset for NAF approval and I'll post it up when it's confirmed. No major changes from last year.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Now NAF approved, so we're good to go! Rules attached to the first post, but for those who came last year, they're essentially the same.
