Winterbowl, Stockport, 28 Jan 2017
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2017 9:20 pm
Tim from Element Games is running a one day tournament there on Saturday 28th January. It's looking like it won't be NAF ranked at the moment, but it should be a fun day at the NWGC.
Welcome to the Winterbowl - Element Games first Blood Bowl Tournament
Saturday 28th January 2017
This event is perfect for new and experienced coaches alike. We'd like to thank the Waterbowl, Manchester Blood Bowl Community, for letting us use their Rulespack. This event will be the perfect warm-up for their two day event happening at the EGNWGC a month later.

Any stat increase included in an Upgrade Set MUST be taken. You cannot change skill set or skills during the tournament.
CASUALTIES
All casualties that have been inflicted on your team are wiped away at the end of each game.
