Format and rules set will be similar to the Euro Bowl 2020 rule set with the exception that there is a bonus for submitting accurate rosters on time:

The draw will be random in the first round and Swiss thereafter.

With about 30-40 minutes left of the round the organisers will be checking up on all games. If a game has not reached a suitable point you will be handed a clock (chess clock) with an equal amount of time for you and your opponent (half of the time left in the round for each). The time you are given is the time you have for the rest of your turns combined. If you run out of time you may not make any voluntary actions i.e. you may not attempt interceptions or take any actions, but you may roll armour rolls if your opponent knocks himself over. Note that this can potentially allow your opponent to have several turns in a row.

Team Creation
The tournament will be played as a resurrection tournament. All injuries, including death, will be cleared after every game. Teams at the World Cup will be built and will gain improvements (additional skills or stat upgrades) according to their placement in the tier system above.
- 1100k gold to be used for standard team building and inducements
- A minimum of 11 players and a maximum of 16 are to be rostered. Star players can only be bought once 11 players are bought and a star player cannot take the roster to 17 players.
- 0-8 Re-Rolls
- Assistant coaches
- Cheerleaders
- 0-1 Apothecary or Igor, depending on race
- 0-9 Fan Factor
- Inducements. The cost will be as following and will count for all 6 games:

- 0-1 Master chef for 300k, for Halflings 100k
- 0-1 NAF-approved star players for their regular cost
 
Additional Cash
The additional cash as listed below cannot be combined with the initial team creation budget. This additional cash can be spent on additional skills, players, star players, inducements, assistant coaches, cheerleaders or fan factor.
The cost of the additional skills:
- 20k for normal skills
- 30k for double skills
- maximum one player in each team can stack an additional skill, the second skill costs 30k. Both skills have to be normal skills
- maximum one player in each team from tier 1-3 can have one double skill

- star players may not receive additional skills
- the Skill "Piling On" will be used according to Death Zone 1, i.e. Team Re-Roll is required.
- Initial budget and additional cash are discrete. First You need to spend initial budget and then get additional cash. But as mentioned above additional cash can still be used to buy Fan Factor for example.
- At the end in the roster there can be 0-1 NAF-approved star players (stars that can be taken only as a pair (for example The Swift Twins) count as a 1 NAF-approved star player)
Rosters should be submitted to ralph@roscrow.net for checking by midnight on Friday 12th July. All rosters that are correct and submitted by this deadline will be awarded an additional Assistant Coach and an additional Cheerleader.

Paint and Miniatures

Painted miniatures are not mandatory (though we urge you to do so). The miniatures don’t have to be original GW-minis however the miniatures must be representative for the roster's race and players (ie a Norse thrower must look like a Norse thrower) and be easily recognisable from other positionals.

If your opponent can't easily recognise the different player types on your team, you must let him mark them somehow (without damaging the miniatures, of course). This could be with bottle caps or coloured rings etc.
Rules for Fair Play

In order to ensure a tournament in good sport and the best fun for everybody there are a series of rules that can be agreed upon by both coaches in their mutual game. A rule you have agreed upon is fixed afterwards - unless both coaches agree to cancel it again.

1) You must allow your opponent to use your dice if they so wish.
2) Illegal procedure rule will not be used at all.
3) If the game comes under the time rules. You can mutually agree that a player who runs out of time isn’t forced to abandon all voluntary actions. In that case both players share the same time pool and the game will end when the time runs out, and the current score at this time will count.
4) Dice are cocked if they are not flat on the table.
5) If one, two or three dice come out of the dice cup when shaken then none count and they should all be rerolled.

Points System
Each coach will get Points each round
Win: 2 Points
Tie: 1 Points
Loss: 0 Points
Concession: -5 Points *
* A concession will be counted for touchdowns and casualties as 2:0 each for the opponent.
For determining the final standing and crowning the Burger King the following order will be applied:
1. Coach Points
2. Head-to-head performance
3. Opponent score
4. Net touchdowns + Net casualties
5. Public coin toss
