TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

Hi. How beginner friendly is this tournament? I played Blood Bowl in a league with mates in the mid nineties but haven’t played it for over 20 years. Ive recently bought the 2016 edition but don’t live near my old mates any more so I’ve not actually had a chance to play it yet. I can read up on the rules and get a team painted up, but i’ll probably be a bit slow and rubbish. Will that piss people off or do you welcome newbies?

I can't speak for any travelling players, but our local lot are a real good and friendly bunch. We have new players join each time we run a league here, and they come out the other side having had fun and feeling comfortable with the rules.

If you can find anyone for a couple of friendly games before hand that would really help you. Where are you located?

Thanks for the reply. Sounds promising. I’m based in Woking, so not too far away.

We've reached the event cap! We will be taking names for a reserves list.

Due to the success of this years events at the shop, next year we will be looking to run 24 player events.
