The Exhibition table will be used for any Prayers To Nuffle rolls.

What you need to bring:
Players are required to bring a painted team with clearly identifiable positional pieces. With the increasing number of non-GW teams available, we are happy for you to bring your Cutiemals, Pi-Rats, or whatever team you have invested in, but your opponent must be able to easily tell your figures apart.
We will have a number of pitches available from our own supplies, but would encourage anyone who can bring a pitch to do so.
A copy of your roster should be brought to share with your opponent prior to each game.

Dice:
All dice must be clearly readable by both coaches as to their outcome when rolled. If a set of D6 is used with a graphic on one face it must be declared before the game which face this graphic is on.

Team creation:
All NAF teams are allowed. Players will be given a treasury of 1,200,000 gold pieces to build their team, staff, and rerolls. All teams will start with 0 dedicated fans.

Tier 1: Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, High Elf, Lizardmen, Norse, Shambling Undead, Skaven, Underworld Denizens and Wood Elves

Tier 3: Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Ogre, Snotling

In addition to the starting skills on your roster all teams will have additional skills that they can add to their roster. Access to skills are split into 2 options and tiered as follows:

Tier 1 Option A: 5 Primary skills
Tier 1 Option B: 3 Primary Skills & 1 Star Player

Tier 2 Option A: 5 Primary skills & 1 Secondary skill
Tier 2 Option B: 3 Primary Skills & 1 Secondary skill & 1 Star Player

Tier 3 Option A: 5 Primary skills & 2 Secondary skills & 1 Star Player.
Tier 3 Option B: 3 Primary Skills & 1 Secondary Skill & 2 Star Players

Secondary skills can be swapped for a primary skill if required. Skill stacking is not allowed for a single player, however each skill is limited to 2 purchases per team. (E.g. Dwarf teams can purchase Block on 2 Runners, in addition to the Block skill already provided to their Linemen.)

Rising star:
Before game 4 one player with the 0-12, 0-16 limit of your roster which didn't receive a skill before the event, may be given a primary or secondary skill for the duration for the second day. This must be chosen before game 4 and needs to be marked on the coaches roster before game 4.

Star Players:
Mega stars are not allowed, Star players may not be given any additional skills, and any team signing a Star Player will have their skill budget reduced as per their tier.

Inducements:
You may take any inducements from page 89 of the rule book with the following exceptions:
No special play cards
No Mercenaries
No Giants
No Wizards

Scoring:
Scoring will be 30 points for a win, 10 for a draw, and 0 for a loss, with 1 bonus point per casualty / touchdown to a maximum of 3 (of each). Any casualties caused by you (to your opponent’s team) will be counted. This does not include fouls, crowd surfs and bombs, failed dodges or rushes.

There will be prizes for the following:

We would like to share prizes as widely as possible, so in the event that the most casualties, most touchdowns, and / or best placed Stunty are also the overall winner, these prizes will be awarded to the next highest place competitor.

Bringing back the crunch, we know its been a while from the last one but will be nice to have a two day event in Suffolk again. It won't be in the same location as before and will be in Kesgrave just outside of Ipswich.

Unlikely to be able to make it, but playing an impromptu game of football while the BBQ was on Sat evening is a fond BB memory.

Though I think someone damaged themself...

[Magic Dave]

LOL, yes that was me, ruptured my achilles tendon and then lost my job as I couldn't walk, but that's life as a contractor.

[howlinggriffon]

ruptured my achilles tendon and then lost my job

Not a fond BB memory!

[Magic Dave]

I was two wins and a lose with my Lizards at the time but no football for me this time around.
