Good Evening,

0-1 Riotous Rookies
0-1 Halfling Master Chef

Any inducements you take will be fixed and remain the same for all of your matches.

And then as if a team tournament wasn’t exciting enough – we have additional extra special rules to make this the most meta COSH ever ...

Each team consists of two players one of which will be the Captain here on referred to as Santa and one of which will be the dirty little Elf. You will play all your matches together. While you can share tactics and ideas at the start of the match once a game has begun the only information you can share is the likely outcome of your match and what result you would like your team mate to play for. Making suggestions, sharing plays, or calculating the probability of success of an action all count as coaching which is banned – until the game ends you are alone (excepting of course rules questions).

All teams will be supplied with four star player models and also with skill rings for all the Negapacks.

At the start of each round once you have seated yourselves opposite your opponents you will share with them your sheet which will show which Megapacks and Negapacks you have left available to you. You will then secretly confer with your team mate and decide between you who gets a Magapack from the available selection and who gets a Negapack from the available selection. Each player will have a present box, when you have selected your pack you will place either the relevant star miniature or negatrait skill bands in your box in front of you. When both teams are decided you can reveal who is getting what to each other and start your games. In the event an agreement can’t be reached with your team mate – the Santa will decide and that decision is final (suck it up Dobby)

You will need to record who used what pack on your results sheet at the end of the round and also cross out the relevant packs from your pack sheet.

Welcome aboard - hopefully you can get that elusive win here with the aid of the best Star Players to ever grace the field

[LoserVille]

Amazing. Pray for the win. Are star players only in the mega packs or can you buy them as part of the squad. I know its early to worry about these things, I just love Christmas

Only in the Megapacks - they are not on the list of available inducements.

Besides who needs Stars - when you have the opportunity to field four of the greatest Star players in the game for free ... so long as you can find some rube to take the Negapacks off your hands
