As a doubles event you will be playing for points next to a partner, but if you want to take part and don't have a partner we can definitely pair you up with someone!
Please have a look at the rules from Incom Gaming below (World Cup Alicante rules, teams cannot be the same alignment, 1 free reroll to share with your partner during each game). But the best part is ... after 2 games have been completed you switch teams with your team mate!
Directions: Church Street, Cheltenham GL50 3HA
Parking: A few options in Cheltenham, including North Place Portland Street East / Portland Street Gates, Regent Arcade etc.
Facilities: Incom Gaming has an open bar (it's a pub!) and there are lots of places to eat nearby on the High Street. Venue is wheelchair accessible with tables on the ground floor.

Giving Both Fingers to Nuffle 2024 - The Good, The Bad & The Dwarves
The only tournament that looks Nuffle square in the eye and gives him the finger is back! What better way to show your disdain for Nuffle than bringing a friend along to roll 1’s with? This will be a pairs tournament and what kind of person you chose to challenge for the trophy will be even more important than if they snore in the AirBnB (ahem… El Spoonio!) Because you will have to chose a team from either the good, the bad or the dwarves, these choices are arbitrarily based on my own gaming prejudices so if you don’t like it tough.
But you can’t just both chose your best teams oh no, because after 2 games you and your partners friendship will face a new level of challenge as you switch teams! Do you go full elf and pray to the bullshit gods? Or do you meta it with flings with Griff and underworld with Hakflem? Decisions decisions….To show your love for each other you have been gifted with a TEAM reroll to share, when do you use it? Do you forget to use I (I’ve seen it happen!)? Will your partner take pity on you and allow you to preroll a GFI with it? A ceremonial curse at Nuffle must be heard clearly before using
Hosted by Incom Gaming in the heart of Cheltenham, inside a fully licensed pub, food package available and parking nearby, what more can an acolyte of Nuffle want?

* Each team has a total of 1,150,000 gp to spend on roster creation and must hire a minimum of 11 players. Any unspent cash at roster creation will be lost and all teams will be considered having the same Current Team Value (CTV) for the purpose of inducements and prayers to Nuffle.
* Cash given is also used to buy rerolls, assistant coaches, cheerleaders, apothecary and so on.
* This is a resurrection tournament, so no SPP are gained, and injuries, casualties or deaths do not carry on from one game to other.
* Undead, Necromantic and Nurgle teams are allowed to apply the Masters of Undeath and Plague Ridden special rules. Players added to a team roster through a game as a result of those special rules are removed from the roster at the end of that game.
* Teams will consist of a minimum of 11 players and a maximum of 16 players, including star players.
* Star players can only be induced after 11 regular players have already been rostered.
* Star players can’t be given extra skills from the team’s skill budget.
* If both opposing teams are fielding the same star player in a game, both star players are allowed to play.
Painting/Modelling Requirements:
All models must have the basic 3 colours on them and be based.
All models must be clearly different from each other to show the positional on your team, we highly recommend if you are using a team that is not clearly recognisable to use the NAF coloured basing system.
If your opponent cannot identify your models with alacrity it makes a poor gaming experience for 50% of the people in your game and they are quite within their rights to use bands or some other marking systems to identify them.
If you wish to use figures from a different IP please make sure there are clear differences between the positional/line people - 12 stormtroopers/Evee’s/Goku’s look lovely but mean nothing to a lot of people
Skills:
The teams have been split into 5 tiers, each team is permitted to stack 2 Primary Skills on a maximum of 1 player at the cost of both 1 Primary Skill and 1 Secondary Skill. If your team and skill set do not allow you to give Secondary Skills to your players, you’re not allowed to stack skills.
Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Lizardmen, Orcs, Undead, Wood Elves.

STAR PLAYERS
In case you’re considering adding a star player to your team, you will have to follow this rules:
EXTRA CHARGE FOR CERTAIN STAR PLAYERS
Certain starplayers are so famous, glamorous or infamous that their team mates pay all their attention to them, forgetting to properly train and improve their own skills. So in case you want to hire one of them for your team, you will have to “pay” some of the skills you got on your skillset to picture this situation.
If you hire one of the following starplayers, you’ll have to reduce the mentioned skills from your skillsets.
Morg’N’Thorg - 3 primary skills
Griff Oberwald - 3 primary skills
Varag Ghoul Chewer - 2 primary skills
Deeproot Strongbranch - 2 primary skills
Hakflem Skuttlespike - 2 primary skills
Kreek Rustgouger - 2 primary skills
Bomber Dribblesnot - 2 primary skills
Cindy Piewhistle - 2 Primary skills
Ivan The Animal Deathshroud - 2 Primary skills
Skitter Stab-Stab - 2 primary skills
Estelle La Veneaux - 2 primary skills
Wilhem Chaney - 1 primary skills
(Dribl & Druhl, The Swift Twins count as 2 star players)
• A Dwarf coach wants to hire Griff Oberwald. Being Tier 1, he chooses the C skill set and reduces 3 skills from it, getting 0 skills for his team (and paying Griff’s fee too, it doesn’t mean he doesn ́t have to pay gp for him)
• A Goblin coach wants to hire Bomber Dribblesnot for his team. He chooses the C skill set and reduces 2 skill from it, getting 4 Primary Skills.
• A Halfling coach wants to hire Morg’N’Thorg and Griff Oberwald for his team. He chooses the D skill set, that allows him to have 2 star players on the team. But as that skill set just gives him 4 primary skills, and he would have to reduce it by 6, it’s not allowed to hire both star players.
