There will be random spot prizes throughout the 2 days so others can walk away with some free goodies.

Injuries and Winnings
Teams will reset after each game. So all injuries are healed (including deaths) and any players raised by Undead Coaches are lost. Since teams reset there will be no Star Player Points or Winnings rolls etc.

Skill Advancements
Before the first game: A normally accessible skill may be given to 1 player.
Before game 2 a normally accessible skill may be given to 2 players.
Before game 3 1 player may receive a skill as if they received a doubles roll or 2 players may be given a normally accessible skill.
Before game 4 1 player may receive a Stat increase STR, AG, AV or MV (this cannot be a player who has already received a skill thus far) or 2 players may receive a skill as if a doubles roll or 3 players may be given a normally accessible skill.
Before game 5 One player may receive a 2nd normally accessible skill (I.e. 1 player only may now have 2 skills) or 1 player may receive a skill as if they received a doubles roll.
Before game 6 1 player may receive a skill as if they received a doubles roll or 2 players may be given a normally accessible skill.

Other than in round 5 as noted a skill may NOT be given to a player that has already received a skill this tournament. These skills need to be chosen before commencing next round and cannot be changed from round to round.
Using the system above it is possible for all 11 to have a skill or 4 players to have a doubles skill and 5 to have normal skills unless you want to opt for maxing players with stat increases and 2 skills as listed above.
These skills carry over throughout the entire tournament and do not reset with the team after each game.

Rules

We will be using the LRB 5 Rules
This is a TR 110 tournament. This means you may build your team with 1,100,000 Gold Coins

The 4 minute rule will not be in effect. Although if game is not complete after 2 hours both teams will be allowed to even up number of turns they have taken and then the result will stand as it is after this round.
Be prepared to share your dice and throw/scatter templates.

Wizards/ inducements are not allowed. With exception of Halflings who may hire a master chef.

Apothecaries:

Stunty Cup:
For those of you that haven't heard of it yet the Stunty Cup runs 'inside' other tournaments and is simply there to give the Stunty coaches something to aim for with the Cup going to the highest placed Stunty team.

Halflings
Goblins

Lizardmen (Only Count as a Stunty Team if it consists of all Skinks and 1 Krox)

Same weekend at the EuroBowl is unfortunate but I realise that this is out of your control.

In any case, a couple of things:

Gate rolls will be needed for FAME.

It has been asked for a clarification on Apothecaries for this tournament. For this tournament if an Apothecary is used re-roll results on injury table if roll is 2 - 9 player is placed in the reserves box. If the roll is 10 -12 players is placed in the BH box. A coach may use an Apothecary roll when ever he deems fit to do so even if player is only KO’d by original injury roll.
This is very different odds from LRB5 apoths.
Back to LRB4 in fact.
Not to mention the clunky interaction with Raise The Dead.

If you don't mind me asking, why the change?

Cool - thanks for the info Jason. I'll let the guys in my gaming club know as they're starting to get a taste for travelling to different BB events now (they're all heading off to the Thrudbowl soon and they're looking for more events!)

Good points - will adjust above, its supposed to be Fame and Apoth should be as Per LRB5 this is what happens when editing from previous rules.

Cannot help dates as dictated by the even, However it means theres an event on on home turf for those who dont want to spend money travelling abroad.

Game 07 was great, so count me in for this one too!

Just a couple of questions

Are the experimental rule updates and star players being used? In other words in a Necro Flesh Golem 110,000 (L.V.5 rules) or 100,000 (experimental rules).

And

No bribes for Goblins seems unfair if Halflings can have a masterchef
