Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2024 1:43 pm
Hello fans of the noble sport of Blood Bowl!
Tzeentch always has a plan and he / she / them have taken a particluar interest in a series of games loacted in Gloucestershire, the home of the cherry and whites, cheese rolling and a thriving Blood Bowl scene.
StoneyKnight and I are running this one-day, 3-game, NAF-accredited (Pending) Blood Bowl 11s tournament.
Location
Gala Club,
Fairmile Gardens,
Longford,
Gloucester,
GL2 9EB.
Around 1.5 miles from the centre of Gloucester there is adequate on-site free parking for participants.
Format
The tournament consists of 3 games of Blood Bowl using the BB2020 / Second Season ruleset.
Coaches will play 3 games against 3 different opponents. The first round will be paired randomly, and Swiss pairings will be used for rounds 2 and 3. This will be a resurrection format: your roster resets after each match (no SPP, injuries, raised dead etc.).
The official Blood Bowl rules, and all current FAQs and errata published up to the date of the tournament will be in effect.
In the event of any rules disagreements, TO’s decision is final.
Team Creation
All coaches will have 1.15 million gold pieces to spend on team creation, following the team creation rules for exhibition play detailed in the rulebook. From this they must purchase all their players (at least 11), re-rolls and any sideline staff such as cheerleaders, assistant coaches, or apothecaries (and their ilk).
Eligible teams include all official GW teams published up to the date of tournament, including Teams of Legend that have not been superseded by subsequent releases, as well as the Slann team from the NAF.
Inducements. Coaches can also spend from their treasury to permanently add inducements to their roster. Eligible inducements are: bribes, biased referees, Halfling master chef, riotous rookies, star players*, and mercenary giants.
