It is with regret that due to the recent UK government advice regarding travel and social events, the BBBL Quest Cup has been cancelled for 4th April 2020.
Full refunds will be issued to all coaches who had already purchased tickets.
I plan on running the same event later this year, hopefully once the current situation has passed.
Stay safe
***
The next BBBL tournament will be the BBBL Quest Cup to be held at Dark Sphere in Shepherds Bush, London.
This NAF approved tournament will consist of 3 games of Blood Bowl, with entrants receiving a pair of event dice.
We will have prizes for all 9 awards. These are still being finalised but in the past these have included Games Workshop Blood Bowl products, trophies, medals, dice and artwork prints. Expect a similar range again this year.
oneturntouchdown.com are again sponsoring the event and providing a prize for the most One Turn Touchdowns scored during the tournament. In addition, each coach who scores a OTT will receive a special OTT TD pin badge. The current record still stands at 5 over three games. A tough target to beat.
We will also have spot prizes for each round to try and ease the pain of those double skulls or tripwire for the Touchdown.
This tournament forms part of the BBalls Shield tournament series for 2020. This is an opportunity to collect points at various tournaments in the London area, with the top point scores agiansing prizes and all important glory. Follow the link below for more details and see the current standing.

Additional Tournament Rules
Each coach has the use of a catapult for each game. This useful but rather unreliable weapon could just break open a cage or knock down the ball carrier at a crucial moment.
Each coach can use the catapult once per game, at the start or end of their turn but before a turnover occur.
Target any empty or occupied square on the pitch. To see where the catapult projectile* lands, roll a D8 for direction and then a D6 for the number of squares.
If the landing square is occupied by a standing/prone or stunned player. Roll for armour and then injury. Any stunned players where the armour roll is unsuccessful will remain stunned.
For any standing players in adjacent squares, roll a D6. A 4+ results in the player being placed prone but no armour is made.
If any hit players were holding the ball, it will scatter as normal after all hits roll have been made.
A turnover will only result if a player holding the ball fro the moving team is hit by the catapult.
*We are not sure what is actually being fired onto the pitch. But rest assured I doubt it is very pleasant.
Miniatures and Painting your team
All miniatures must be distinct and recognisable to your opponent to allow them to distinguish the different positions and star players.
A fully painted team with at least 3 colours is strongly encouraged but is not mandatory.
Teams entering best painted must have been painted by the coach at the event, and to have been used on the day. The award will be assessed by an independent judge appointed by the tournament organiser. The award will be made based on the whole team along with the bases. Display boards will not be included as part of the painting competition.
Objectives
Each coach will be given a random objective card at the start of the tournament. This will list the objectives required for each of the three games. Each objective can only be earned for the game listed on the card.
The objective only needs to be revealed to your opponent once it has been achieved.
Objectives:
- Score 2 TD’s
- Cause 3 Casualties (SPP Casualties only)
- Have 1 player sent off for fouling
