RULES

- All Official GW Races plus Slann are allowed.
- Any other editions of Spike, Stars or the FAQ/Errata released 2+
weeks before the event will also likely be allowed.
- Coaches are expected to play games within 2hrs15. While there is
flexible timing for the event we have set times for rounds to be
drawn and you will be using your own break periods so agreement
should be made with your opponent. We reserve the ability to call
results early where required to stay on schedule.
- We will be using the standard "Resurrection" rules: teams remain
identical from game to game.
- Coaches have 1,150,000 gc to build their roster, except Goblins,
who can spend up to 1,200,000 gc.
- Any team can hire one Star Player as part of their team, as long as
the Star Player comes with the Secret Weapon trait.
- Teams in the Stunty Tier may in addition hire a 2nd Star Player who
does not need to have the Secret Weapon trait.
- A team must have 11 rostered players before any Star players can
be purchased.
- Each Star Player without the Secret Weapon trait costs 4 skill
points (in addition to their cost in GC). Stars with the Secret
Weapon rule do not cost skill points.
- Where Star Players come as a pair they are both banned in the
above rules and may not be taken at the event.
- Banned Star Players: Cindy Piewhistle, Bomber Dribblesnot,
Skitter Stab-Stab, Hakflem Skuttlespike, H’thark the Unstoppable,
Griff Oberwald, Deeproot Strongbranch, Morg N' Thorg, Varag
Ghoul-chewer, Kreek ‘the Verminator’ Rustgouger, Maple
Highgrove
- You may purchase Kegs, Bribes, Wandering Apos, Mortuary
Assistants, Riotous Rookies, Biased Referees, Master Chefs, and a
Team Mascot as a permanent part of your team at their normal
cost (including any race-specific prices, e.g. Master Chef for
Halflings). No other inducements can be purchased.
- If a coach spends less than the 1.15m, they will not be entitled to
Inducements on a game by game basis.

SKILLS

Teams will have skill points to spend depending on the Tier:
Tier 1 - 9 pts - Undead, Wood Elf, Dark Elf, Lizardmen, Amazon, Vampires
Tier 2 - 11 pts- Dwarf, Norse, Skaven, Underworld, Orcs
Tier 3 - 13 pts - High Elf, Human, Elven Union, Necromantic, Tomb Kings, Khorne,
Chaos Chosen, Imperial Nobility, Chaos Dwarf
Tier 4 - 15 pts - Black Orc, Slann, Chaos Renegade, Nurgle, OWA
Stunty Tier - 15 pts - Goblin, Halfling, Ogre, Snotling, Gnome

Skills are costed according to their tiers and how frequently
they are selected, they cannot be stacked. There is no limit
on the number of secondary skills (within the skill points
allowance):

Block, Frenzy, Strip Ball, Sure Hands, Dodge, Leader,
Guard, Mighty Blow, Sneaky Git, Dirty Player, Wrestle
- First instance: 2 Points
- Any other instance: 3 Points

Any other skill
- First instance: 1 Point
- Any other instance: 2 Points

If skill is a secondary +2 Points

For Example:
My Chaos Chosen team has 13 points to spend. I take three
Chaos Warriors with Block, the first costing 2 points and the
next two costing 3 points each (total 8 points). I then take
two Beastmen with Tackle, the first costing me 1 point and
the next costing 2 points each (total 3 points). This leaves
me with 2 points, with which I take a Kick Beastman and
an Extra Arms Beastman.
2+3+3+1+2+1+1 = 13

GAMES & SCORING

Win = 2pts
Draw = 1pt
Loss = 0pts

- Strength of Schedule
