Alpha Bowl Summer 21 - Stanton, Suffolk - 29 August 21 *gethyn wins*
Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2021 12:49 pm
This tournament is NAF sanctioned.
The tournament will be a three game tournament using Blood Bowl Season Two (BB 2020) Official Rules (as clarified by the most recent FAQ). The first game will be randomly drawn between coaches with subsequent matchups following a Swiss - Resurrection style system.
Starting team value will be 1.15 Million gold pieces (Team Value 1150) and players may choose a roster up to this value. Rosters may be chosen from any of the teams in the Blood Bowl Rule Book. Rosters can also be chosen from the official “Teams of Legend” list and the additional NAF Rosters for Slann and Daemons of Khorne Teams. Any additional official teams and rosters from Spike magazines released before the event will also be allowed.
This will be a resurrection format tournament (no long term injuries) and with no progression (no star player points earned). Instead, when building their roster, coaches may purchase skills for their team according to the allocation below for each tier (tiers are as per the 2020 rulebook).
• Tier 1 Teams – 30 Star Payer Points

Players on Tier 1 & 2 teams can only have one additional skill each. Players on Tier 3 teams can have up to two additional skills each, however the 2nd additional skill will cost an extra 2 Star Player Points.
The scoring system will be 30 points for a win, 15 points for a draw and zero points for a loss. Bonus points will be awarded for each casualty caused and touchdown scored, to a maximum of 3 points for each. Tiebreakers will be Strength of Schedule followed by Total Touchdowns and Total Casualties.
