Will probably be signing up for this, but the tournament scoring system definitely needs altering.

Having each Best Sporting Vote earn as many points as a draw will ironically have the opposite effect as intended. You'll potentially have players tactically voting for opponents that aren't close to them in the standings. Or players arranging vote swaps. Perhaps bribery might be in keeping with Blood Bowl spirit however

Penalizing anyone who doesn't bring a pitch is tacitly telling players that you don't trust them.

Rewarding lower tier teams in this manner is is certainly an interesting concept. In terms of balance, halving the points values for these non-playing aspects would be better.

I cant read the rules - no fb account and I not clicking a fb link - but really? Pitch penalty? I only own old, small square, pitches and I dont bring them to tourneys anymore as more and more coaches use larger minis. So I would be penalised for not bringing a pitch that no one wants to use anyway?

Penalizing anyone who doesn't bring a pitch is tacitly telling players that you don't trust them.

I've signed up but used my real name not my Blood Bowl name, which absolutely no-one knows, so I'd be grateful if the sign-up sheet could be edited to Waldorf.

Why are Gnomes being so hammered in Tiering right now? Putting them in a higher tier than OWA and Nobility seems crackers but this isn't the only rules pack that's doing it.

Does this mean you can hire the usual 0-2 stars? Or as many as you can afford?
