Blood Bowl Etiquette Questionnaire:
Simple YES or NO questionnaire based on your opponent’s Gameplay and Painting. There are questions on Gameplay and on Painting/Modelling. These are various traits the best sportsmen in the game already do on a consistent basis. This is a possible 12 Points, so do your best to consistently accomplish them all!

A Coach will receive a -1 penalty for “NO’s” given for the below questions
• Turning models that have completed their action
• Consistency with Cocked Dice rulings
• Provided a copy of roster to opponent
• Moving players into each square when they move
• Using ONLY NAF/ GW Block Dice (everyone should get this one!)
• Completing your turns in a Satisfactory pace

• Having your entire team painted to a three color minimum
• Painting or Flocking or Texturing all of your model’s bases
• Each position on your team easily identifiable to your opponent
• Skill/stat upgrades on your team easily identifiable to your opponent
• Each model on your team clearly numbered and matching your roster
• Provided marker for any failed negative skills (if applicable)

Additional Skills:
Players will not gain skills with SPPs. Before the tournament begins you may spend Gold on skills and improvements for your players. No player may be given more than 1 additional skill. Use the following pricing.
20,000 New Skill
30,000 Skills that can only be taken on doubles
30,000 +MA or +AV
These are the only improvements you may choose.

Painting:, and Modeling requirements:
All teams are expected to meet the minimum painted guidelines. They must have 3 colors on them and no metal showing. Numbers should be painted on both the front and back of base. Non standard or converted minis are acceptable, but we must be able to easily tell the positions apart. You will not be allowed to proxy minis in any way that can confuse an opponent, such as “This woodelf lineman is actually my catcher.” If you need to borrow models or a team, there are several people that may be able help you out with that, don't be afraid to ask.

Sportsmanship:
We are here for the fun of the game. Sportsmanship is not encouraged from the coaches, it is required!
To make sure that everyone who attends will have fun the Tournament official will issue a warning to anyone who is taking away from the fun environment we are looking for. If the behavior continues you will be asked to leave the tournament. Arguing with the tournament organizer or in any way disrespecting them can also result in a warning. An important note on sportsmanship. Fouling 16 turns in a row and running up the score is not poor sportsmanship. But gloating and ridiculing your opponent while
doing so is. Remember we are here to have a good time.

NAF:
This event will be NAF sanctioned
(If you don’t know what the NAF is go to http://thenaf.net/index.php for more info)
Also will count towards the West Coast Grand Prix
