So you are allowing fouling casualties to count, but not pushes off the pitch (clearly done by the players actions) or dodges (forced by the players positioning).

Not a fan of this as it encourages fouling

, whilst other good factors of play you are not benefitted with points.

Rules are pretty clear though.

I gotta admit that I'm not a fan of fouling casualties counting either.

Fouling is a part of the rules. The points for winning far exceed the points for getting CAS. Also with Get the Ref only a 1 in 36 result and DP made +1 or +1, fouling after the first foul means getting ejected more often than you even KO your opponent (let alone get a CAS).

I'm not one of those players who feel that fouling is unsporting. Its a part of the rules and if you spend all your effort giving assists to make fouls .... odds are you will lose and lose badly which means you'll have no prayer of winning the tournament.

I haven't got a problem with fouling counting towards casualties. I do when you don't count pushes off the pitch and dodging casualties. They are all part of the rules. Why count fouling when the other two don't? IMO the other two require more skill to pull off than taking maximum zombies and fouling every turn, knowing you've got 'bodies' to bring back on the pitch.....

I'd say if you count fouling count ALL casualties, whatever the cause. It also makes it far simpler on how to count casualties.

Agree there, though I honestly believe you should only count Cas that would gain SPP.

But then what's my POV worth, seeing as I can't make it.

IMO it should be either =

1 = Blocking casualties only

or

2 = All casualties

It just seems fairer, adn as already stated, playing an experienced player, to push a player off the pitch will take more skill than fouling them.

Only blocking CAS will count ... and that's it for rules changes ... I'm done.

Consider this a thank you to Valen for flying overseas ... but I'm done making changes because someone doesn't like the rules.

Final rules posted assuming GW doesn't make me change them.

AND PLEASE note this is an official GW tournament ... so GW only figs allowed just like the Blood Bowl.

Cheers for listening. Just hope I can make it over after making a fuss now

Not thought about the GW part; rules out the bunny girls sadly then!
