The weegie
Each coach should pick three players from their roster that are not star players and have not been given any additional skills, and number them 1-3. Then roll a D3 and the result of that roll is the chosen player.
That lucky model will become the weegie for your team. This homegrown hero is excited to take his first outing onto a Glasgow field.
Game 1 : Give this player the "Stab" Skill, hes showing the visiting players how its done in the backstreet bowls of Glasgow
Game 2 : Give this player the "Shadowing" Skill, his lust for blood is up and hes not letting anyone away
Game 3 : Give this player "Unchanneled Fury" one too many Bloodfasts have gone to his head by this stage and he can barely be controlled.
Note: Each skill added stacks, so by round 3 he will have Shadowing, Stab AND Unchanneled Fury.
Inducements
Permitted inducements are:
0-2 Bloodweiser Kegs for 50k each, available to all teams.
0-3 Bribes for 100k each, or 50k each for "Bribery and Corruption" teams.

"Halfling Thimble Cup" special rule.
Skill stacking
Coaches can stack skills on a number of players dependent on their team tier. Stacking does not cost any extra skills but is limited to primary skills only.
1 Skill Stack for Tier 1-2
2 Skill Stacks for Tier 3-4
3 Skill Stacks for Tier 5-6
Star Players
One (1) Star Player can be rostered for Tier 3-4 teams, up to two (2) Star Players can be rostered for Tier 5-6 teams.
Star Players in couples count as two Star Players for the roster.
Every Star Player acquired costs additional Skill Points as follows:
Star player cost: 000-099k, lose 1 Skill point.
Star player cost: 100-199k, lose 2 Skill points.
Star player cost: 200-299k, lose 3 Skill points.
Star player cost: 300k-399k, lose 4 skill points.
Note: A skill point just means either a primary or secondary skill, however foregoing a secondary skill will still only count as using one point towards the star player.

A secondary skill can be replaced with a primary skill as many times as the coach wishes. For example a tier 5 team could take 9 primary skills and 1 secondary skill and this would be fine.

Painting
