- Painted Team (3 colours and based)
- Set of turn, score and reroll markers
- Copy of your roster (digital or printed)
- Dice

TEAM ROSTER

- Any of the teams in the BB2020 rulebook may used as well all the teams currently released via SPIKE! Magazines; Chaos Dwarves, High Elves, Tomb Kings, rules to be found in the Teams of Legend PDF; finally, Slann may be used, rules to be found on the NAF website.

- Coaches may spend up to 1.2 million gold on their team.

- No inducements may be taken aside from bribes (all teams - Bribery & Corruption is in effect for those teams with access to it) and the Halfling Master Chef, which may be taken by Halflings for 100k.

Skills
- Coaches may allocate up to one additional skill to each of their players (skills may not be stacked). The total number of skills a coach may allocate is as per the tiers below. Where a secondary skill is available to allocate, this may be allocated as a primary skill instead.

Tiers
As per the BB2020 rulebook (Slann are Tier 2); coaches may select one option:
- Tier 1 Option A: 6 Primary skills
- Tier 1 Option B: 4 Primary Skills & 1 Star Player
- Tier 2 Option A: 6 Primary skills, 1 Secondary skill
- Tier 2 Option B: 4 Primary Skills, 1 Secondary skill & 1 Star Player
- Tier 3 Option A: 6 Primary skills, 2 Secondary skills & 0-1 Star Players
- Tier 3 Option B: 4 Primary Skills, 1 Secondary Skill and 2 Star Players

Mutations
- All teams at Borak Bowl have access to 3x mutations; which may be given to any player on their team (but not star players). These mutations may be stacked on a player who has already been allocated a skill as many times as you like. For example: a witch elf could be given wrestle, then also given big hand and two heads; a second witch elf could be given block, then also given the final mutation allocation of extra-arms.

Star players
- You must first roster 11 players before adding a star to your team.
- Stars that are selected as a pair (such as the Swift Twins) count as 2 Stars for the purposes of availability - pairs are therefore not available to Tier 1 & 2 teams.
- If 2 coaches are drawn against each other with the same Star on their roster, both players are permitted to use them.
- Stars cannot be allocated additional skills or mutations.
- The following star players are banned: Bomber Dribblesnot, Cindy Piewhistle, Deeproot Strongbranch, Griff Oberwald, Hakflem Skuttlespike, Ivan ‘the Animal’ Deathshroud, Kreek ‘the Verminator’ Rustgouger, Morg ’n’ Thorg, Skitter Stab Stab

SCORING

- Win = 10pts
- Draw = 5pts
- Loss = 0pts

SPECIAL PLAYS

In addition to the above points, there will be 3 Special Play bonus points on offer at the event. At the start you will receive 6 Special Play cards. You MUST play just one of these cards in each game and each card may only be played once. You will ONLY play 3 and DO NOT have to play all 6 over the event. Both players will play a card face down and flip at the same time after both teams are set up in the 1st half. You will receive 1 tournament point for each Special Play you achieve during the event.

The Special Plays are as follows:

Win a game by 2 or more Touchdowns
Score a touchdown in the first 4 turns of EITHER half
Stall for one turn before scoring a TD (as per the rules found on page 64 of the BB2020 rulebook)
Cause 2 or more casualties in one game
Remove a player from the pitch by fouling (KO or injury)
At the start of the game nominate one player on your opponents team - score this by removing that player from the pitch (KO or injury)

TIE BREAKS

In order to determine the final standings at the end of the event tie-breakers after the Special Play bonus points (Special Plays are important!!) will be applied as follows:

Touchdown difference
Casualty difference (if a player is in the injury box at any stage, its a cas)
Strength of Schedule
Fight to the death…or dice roll if both coaches don’t agree (boo!)
