Tournament Details
- 2020 ruleset, DeathZone Blood Bowl Sevens rules & Teams of Legend PDF.
- Round 1 paired randomly, subsequent rounds will be paired in a Swiss Format.
- A resurrection tournament: All teams reset after every game, all injured or dead players are healed.
- Matches have a 1 hour 15 minute time limit with 30 & 15 time warnings. Once the maximum time limit has been reached, coaches are given an extra 5 minutes to finish the kicking team’s turn and then the game must end.
- Scoring is simple: win 3/draw 1/lose 0.
- Tied teams are separated on Strength of Schedule, then total combined TD and CAS difference. Casualties only count if they would yield SPP. Crowd surfs, thrown rocks, fouls and chainsaws, etc. do not count.
Team Creation
Coaches can select any NAF approved team, spending up to 600,000GP in Team Value, with the following additional restrictions:
- A Team can have a maximum of 0-4 non-lineman players in total.
- A Team must have at least 7 players, and no more than 11 on its roster.
- Rerolls cost double their normal price.
- We’re using the Death Zone 7s Inducements, which must be purchased during team creation and count towards the Team’s total value, with the following restrictions:
- Star Players cannot be taken, except by stunty (tier 3) teams who can select ONE star player and do not count towards the 7-player team minimum. Megastars may not be taken (see the GW FAQ for the current list).
- Teams with the ‘Low-Cost Linemen’ rule may purchase a Rowdy Rookies inducement for a cost of 50,000GP, which works as Riotous Rookies, but with a reduced effect of 1D3+1 (this is 7s!)
- No Special Play cards or mercenaries.
- No Desperate Measures.

Doctor Dunbar
Every coach gets a special Apothecary token, entitling them to call on the services of Doctor Dunbar (the resident apothecary) ONCE to automatically resuscitate a player (placing them into the reserves) during the entire tournament.
However Doctor Dunbar respects the true spirit of the sevens game and WILL NOT aid Star Players.
