Things to take
Pitch + Dugouts. Please bring a pitch per team. Some tables are smaller than others so there is a preference for smaller boards but this is less important than there being enough.
Your team. No unpainted teams please, but just 3 colours and based is sufficient. The most important aspect is that players/positionals can be readily identified, the use of skill rings or loom bands is encouraged to identify skills added to the team. If anyone lacks a team let me know and we can help arrange a loan for the day.
Dice.
A copy of your roster Preferably a hard copy to share with your opponent but we can work with electronic copies.
Range Ruler + Scatter templates

Team / Roster building
Each pair must pick one race from the light and one from the dark side of bloodbowl to coach.
Each coach has 1,150,000gp to spend on roster creation and must hire a minimum of 11 Players prior to the hire of any star players
Any GP unspent at roster creation is lost and all teams are considered to have the same Current Team Value (CTV) for the purpose of inducements and prayers to Nuffle.
This is a resurrection tournament, no SPP is gained, and injuries or deaths do not carry on from one game to the next.
Players added to a Team roster mid game as a result of the Masters of Undeath or Plague Ridden special rule are removed from the roster at the end of the game and do not carry on to the next.
Permitted inducements are:
• Halfling Master Chef 0-1
• Bloodweiser Kegs 0-2
• Bribes 0-3
• Wandering Apothecaries 0-2
• Mortuary Assistant 0-1
• Plague Doctor 0-1
• Riotous Rookies 0-1
Star players are only allowed as per the skill packages listed below
If 2 coaches have rostered the same star player they will play for both teams.
For Skill packs which allow star Players, the following Star Players have an additional skill cost as specified below:
• Griff Oberwald, Morg’N’Thorg: 3 Primary Skills
• Deeproot Strongbranch, Hakflem Skuttlespike, Kreek Rustgouger, Wilhelm Chaney: 1 Primary Skill
If the Team does not have enough skills available in the chosen skill pack to pay the above skill cost, that star Player cannot be taken.
Grak+Crumbleberry will count as 2 star players
*Note- If riotous rookies are induced you must roll for them separately before the beginning of each game and ensure these players can be clearly identified.*

A.O.B
Illegal procedure will not be in place.
All casualties are to be included not just those giving SPP
Round times are 2 hours and 15 minutes. Time updates will be given during the round but the limit will be enforced. When time is called the coach who’s turn it is may finish the current action then the match is over.
Chess clocks and timer apps may be used at the request of either player, but these will not be supplied by the organiser,
Blood Bowl can be a particularly emotional game and Nuffle is a fickle master, however at no point should this be an excuse to abuse your opponent (verbally or otherwise), or to interrupt or impact other games. Please enjoy your games in a friendly and adult manner.
Dice cups, trays and towers are not only permitted but encouraged.
If one of the two Coaches playing requests to share dice this should be allowed.
At the start of game Coaches facing off are encouraged to define for their game how to handle cocked dice and dice which escape from dice cups.
If any disagreements arise over rules or procedures either raise this with the organiser or feel free to roll a dice to decide who’s reading of the rules to go with.
