An update to the Red Trophy V rules set

Please Read!

After reviewing feedback from many tournaments happening across the globe now it has become apparent there is an issue with Star Players in terms of game balance and repetitive team selections. The rules pack for the Red Trophy V was written many months ago with the exciting new star player possibilities purposefully in mind. However, tournaments of Blood Bowl Second Season Edition have been operating for a few months now since lockdown eased in a variety of locations and it has not taken long for the “Star Player Issue” to be quite apparently having a negative impact on the competitive tournament scene.

As such I have taken the decision to alter the rules pack for the Red Trophy V at this late stage.

STAR PLAYERS ARE NO LONGER PERMITTED except for the following teams, who may take ONE, only after a regular 11 players have been rostered:

Goblins
Ogres
Halflings
Snotlings

I appreciate that this may change a fair few people's expected team rosters but this change was made with consultation of several experienced players in attendance at the Red Trophy V. I can assure you however it is with a sincere belief that this will improve the playing experience of the tournament.

Makes sense - two thumbs up here even though I bought and painted Gloriel Summberbloom specifically for this tourney lol.

[Jayward]

Yeah, big fan of that change

[lunchmoney]

+1 to liking the change even though I'm not playing

[Gritter_]

Ah... and I had such a broken roster too!

Back to the drawing board

Do wonder if certain teams can meaningfully make use of 1200tv without stars though - will be seeing some 14man rosters methinks.

Desperate to play a Star so I‘m Running Snotlings

It probably won't be 1200 in future without stars but I just decided to leave it as is for now, let people burn dem re rolls.
