Tier I: Wood Elf, Undead, Skaven, Orc, Chaos Dwarves, Norse, Lizardmen, Amazons, Dwarf, Dark Elf, Chaos.

Team Builds
1.15 mil team build (players, rerolls, fanfactor, all inducements allowed) Let me know ahead of time if you plan on using cards so I can have them available. Your card will change after each round that it is used.

After team is made:
Before round 1: Add 80k to the team
Before round 2: Add 80k
Before round 3: Add 80k
Before round 4: Add 80k
Before round 5: Add 80k

This money can be anything that could normally be bought(players/rerolls/inducements/coaches/ff/cheerleaders/apo) and upgrades may be purchased for players as well. No player may recieve more than one upgrade per round(you could have 5 on one player by round 5, but not on round 1). Money may be "banked" from round to round. No player may recieve more than two of the same stat upgrade. Rerolls bought after initial team build do not cost double. Each coach will add the assigned value(80) to their roster for each round prior to round one. Please note on your roster the round skills are added. The excel spreadsheet that allow additions of skills 1-5 is preferable. Please print two copies of your roster for each round. One of each round will be given to the tournament organizer and you will keep one. The tournament organizer will hand back your roster copy for each round for your opponent to use as reference.

Note: You may bank the money from one round to the next. So, you could save all your money from the first round and use the 80k from the next round to buy a 160k star that will remain on the roster for the rest of the tourney. You will just be handicapped on the first round and there will be no inducements added if there is a Team Rating differential due to banking money. You may not bank any money from the original 1.15mil roster construction. You must start with a rulebook legal roster including 11 players. This 11 may could include star players.

Please email Ryan and myself your roster ahead of time. It is not required, but highly recommended. If your roster is receive prior to November 1st, you will receive one point toward the team event that will help either the Whitie tighties or the Loosey Goosies win.(whichever team you end up on will get the extra point)

Newscaster: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Channel 7 news at 10, your only source for Underworld news. We go live to President Grump’s first press conference as newly elected President of Underworld…

Grump: Citizens of Underworld, I want to thank you for having confidence in me to lead this great nation forward. As promised in my campaign, we will make Blood Bowl great again! As a start we will be hosting a YUUUGGGHHH tournament in a matter of weeks to kick things off. This will be the largest and best tournament that has ever happened. THOUSANDS of coaches will be there. It will be incredible.

Reporter #1: Gruash Snartblast, Underworld Gazette, is it true that you will be participating in the tournament?

Grump: Of course! Along with my crack dealer….errr…that is Vice President, Crackleberry. We make a wonderful team. Everyone says so. That statistics show that we are the best players ever to play the game.

Reporter #1: Mr. President do you think any coaches will actually hire you?

Grump: If not, they are dumb! I should tweet that out [reaches under the podium and tweets on his phone “anyone who doesn’t hire me is dumb”]. And for the record my hands aren’t small, they are actually very big.

Reporter #1: What will happen if two teams decide to hire you?

Grump: I’ll play for both. That’s how impressive I am, I can be in two places at once.

Reporter #1: The rumor is, Mr. President, that you are very difficult to coach and that your vice president tends to…bite people.

Grump: Lies. Totally fake news. I’m the most coachable player ever. Next.

Reporter #2: Whiskers Maggie, Skaven Monthly, don’t you think it’s a little presumptive to claim to make BloodBowl great again, isn’t it already a great game.

Grump: Not at all. It has become a total failure with the two guys who have been running it for the last several years. Shameful and disgusting. That’s why I’m taking it over, the citizens have given me a mandate.

Reporter #2: Mr. President, you won by only a few points.

Grump: More fake new. I won by like 90%. Just wait until the numbers come out, you will see. Our win was yuge!

Reporter #2: Were the previous Underworld Tournaments really that bad?

Grump: I’ve taken shits with more cohesion than those tournaments. I wouldn’t let those two idiots organize my sock drawer, much less a tournament. Next.

Reporter #3: Throm Stonehammer, Dwarven Daily, what of the rumors that there will be racial restrictions on the tournament.

Grump: Completely false! All races are welcome, though we will be building a wall around the Underworld nation to protect our citizens jobs, and the Dwarves will pay for it.

Reporter #3: Beg your pardon Mr. President, but I find that highly unlikely.
Grump: Nonsense. I love the Dwarves. Great, hard-working people. I have many, many Dwarf friends. The Dwarves love me.

Reporter #4: Scrupa Goblinchucker, Trolls Today, what will the refreshments and prizes be like?

Grump: Only the best food and prizes ever to have been given out in any tournament of any kind ever. Every coach will get a custom pitch, with the winner taking home a special championship board. That will be worth millions I assure you. Food and drinks will be provided along with plenty of covfefe.
Reporter #4: I’m sorry Mr. Presidents, what is covfefe?

Grump: You know, covfefe! When you take [mumbles] and mix it with [mumbles] and jam it into a [mumbles] and spray it all over a [mumbles], you get covfefe.

Grump: That’s all the time I have for questions, I will see you all on Nov 11th and 12th for the best Blood Bowl tournament EVER!. We are going to make Blood Bowl great again!!!
