Turncoat Style Event: Turncoat on 2nd and 4th round. (Play with your opponent’s models and roster)

Entry Fee: $20

Teams may be selected form any of the 23 official rosters as well as Slann, Bretonnians, and Khrone. For copies of those rosters, see the NAF Team Update.

We will use the Blood Bowl 7s Variant rules except:

Only the HALFLING team may purchase the Master Chef. And only the GOBLIN team may purchase bribes (50k). No other inducements are allowed. No special play cards, etc.

Vampires and Ogres may play more than 4 "specialist" players.

Each coach will have 1 random skill assigned to their team. The skill will be given upon entering the venue for the tournament, you can assign this skill to any player on your team. These skills are random from the General, Agility, Strength, Passing, and Mutation categories. Leader and Secret Weapons will NOT be in the pool of random skills.

Things to Bring:

Your (Preferably) Painted Team

3 copies of your team’s roster (one to turn in, one for your opponent, one for you)

GW or NAF Blocking Dice and a D8 for scatter.

Custom D6s will be provided and should be the only D6s used during this tournament (Before each match you and your opponent should agree on dice sharing, what constitutes a cocked die, etc.)

Blood Bowl Board and templates if you have them. (We can’t guarantee how many extra sets we will have on site.)

Current Blood Bowl and Death Zone S1/S2 Rules

Tournament Rules:

4 games of Swiss pairing first and second place will be chosen by highest point total after 4 games.

Weather will be rolled by each table.

The Kickoff table in the LRB 6.0/C.R.P. will be used, except Throw Rock will be replaced by Throw a Bomb.

Tournament will be a resurrection style tournament. Any injuries your team suffers will not carry over to the next game. The roster you start the tournament with will be the same for each round you play.

Illegal Procedure: In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Illegal Procedures will not be called. The 4-minute turn rule will not be strictly enforced. But if the Tournament Referee feels the game may not finish in the 2 Hour time allotted, he may insist you use a timer and begin enforcing the 4-minute rule.

No Overtimes will be played!

Only Casualties that earn Star Player Points (i.e. Blocks) will count toward the Most Violent trophy.

Scoring:
After each round you will fill Game Sheet awarding the following Game Points: A WIN is worth 20 pts, DRAW is worth 10 pts, a LOSS is worth 0 pts.

Tie-breakers for this tournament are determined by head-to-head, then net Touchdowns (TD for, to TD against), then net Casualty (Casualty for, to Casualty against). Additional tie breakers will be instituted by the Tournament Organizer as needed.

Sportsmanship: We are here for the fun of the game. Sportsmanship is not just encouraged from the coaches, it is required! An important note on sportsmanship: fouling 16 turns in a row, running up the score, etc. is not poor sportsmanship, but gloating and ridiculing your opponent while doing so is.

Awards:
Trophies for First, Second, Most Casualties, Most Touchdowns, Best Defense, Stunty Cup*, Dirty Deeds**, Most Casualties Suffered, and Last Place.
(This event will use the “Spread the Wealth” system. If you are eligible for more than one award, you will be asked which one you prefer. By default, First and Second Place will take precedence.)
Stunty Cup - to be eligible for the Stunty Cup, you must play a Halfing, Goblin, Ogre, Underworld with no Skaven, or a Lizardman team with just skinks and a rookie Kroxigor
Dirty Deeds* - the team with the most foul attempts will win this award. Note that this is just attempts, not ejections. Play dirty! If players are tied for the awards, I will determine tie breakers.

Blood bowl 7s games are fast paced and can be finished in less than an hour. In the event that games are finished ahead of schedule, we will take lunch early and finish out the tournament early!
