A painted team (minimum 3 colours)
Board and dugout
Dice

2 Points for a win
1 Point for a draw
0 Points for a loss

Tie breaking system will take into account net touchdowns followed by net casualties.
In the event of a complete tie the winner will be determined by head to head record.
In the freakish event two coaches did not play each other and cannot be separated they will be forced to play each other for eternity until the extinction of mankind and a vortex swallows the earth.

Or dice off.

There will be prizes/trophies awarded for the following:

The Red Trophy Winner
Runner Up
Fair Play Award
Most Touchdowns
Most Casualties*
Stunty Cup (Ogres, Halflings, Goblins, Underworld with no Skaven)
Best Painted Award

*Any injury that goes into your opponents injury box (even if it's just passing through) counts towards the Most Casualties award. (And also for the tie breaker.)

Schedule:

The action is non-stop! Four games are obviously difficult to cram in so please be on time so that we can get going promptly and out of courtesy for your opponent. Two hour time limit for each round will be strictly adhered to and games will be called if necessary.

I take it back, I know you spoke to Rory and tried to convince him to reinstate Foulbowl. My apologies.

Glad you're doing this. I was talking to a bunch of guys in Cheltenham to maybe look at running Foul Bowl there on the same weekend. No need now. Before anyone asks, yes I would have checked with Rory first!

I'll keep the date pencilled in the calendar!
