Grak and Crumbleberry are prohibited. A maximum of two star players may be induced but only after 11 rostered players have been picked as normal.

The only inducements permitted are bribes, halfling master chefs and bloodweiser kegs. (Bribes and halfling master chefs may be induced by anyone at the appropriate cost).

Skills package:

A maximum of two skills may be “stacked” onto the same player. This may be any combination of skills and there are no restrictions on the amount of duplicate skills (i.e. you can take 6 block Saurus if you want).

Tier 1:
Tier 1 teams may select 6 “normal” skills.
Wood Elf, Undead, Lizardmen, Dwarf, Orcs, Dark Elf, Norse, Amazon, Necromantic, Skaven, Chaos Dwarves, Brettonians

A painted team (minimum 3 colours)
Board and dugout
Dice
Templates
2 x printed rosters

Scoring:

2 Points for a win
1 Point for a draw
0 Points for a loss

Tie breaking system will take into account net touchdowns followed by net casualties.
In the event of a complete tie the winner will be determined by head to head record.
In the freakish event two coaches did not play each other and cannot be separated they will be forced to play each other for eternity until the extinction of mankind and a vortex swallows the earth.

Or dice off.

[howlinggriffon]

Put me on the interested list! Will see if I can get to this...

* well I can't make it as I'm going to a gig on the Saturday! Have fun though!

[Wotfudboy]

Interested!!

[Gritter_]

Now a 2 dayer eh?

Pencil me in to defend my title.
Bit close to xmas and possibly going abroad though so can't commit just yet.

[Mysterioushandle]

Sign me up

The Red Trophy III will officially be an international affair with our friends from Team Malta, Janninu and Realmalteser coming over for the occasion!

[Valen]

Me Bill and Cam are very much interested, will let you know asap

[nonumber]

Just a quick update - doesn't apply to most people on TFF I know but I've removed the option to "sign up on the day" to the NAF. All entrants must be NAF members before buying their ticket.

Reason being, last time I had some trouble with sign ups and it really gummed up the works if you can't guarantee a NAF rep to oversee them, as such I'll just be advertising it as NAF members only.

[nonumber]

Another update, Janninu has offered to deal with NAF sign ups on the day, so we can once again accomodate that if anyone needs it!

[Mysterioushandle]

Just sent my money over now.

[nonumber]

Just a shameless bump, we'll be applying for a temporary alcohol license for the store as well so we can get beers on the go. These are always at the discretion of the local authority of course but we haven't been refused one yet.

[BigBlocker]

Very interested!
