Rules

Hornswoggle Cup 2 will be using current NAF approved rule set. Please check the NAF website for the current rules.

The Illegal Procedure will not be enforced. There is a time limit for games, so coaches are encouraged to play 4 minute turns to ensure games are completed. Any games that reach the time limit will have to be halted and the result at this point will be the final result of that game. We do have a chess clock available should one be required for fair time allocation.

We will be using the standard “Resurrection” rules; coaches will play each match with the same starting roster and do not need to record SPPs or any ongoing injuries. Undead, Necro or Nurgle teams may not keep ‘raised’ players from game to game.

Coaches may spend up to 850,000 gold crowns on their team roster. One Star Players is allowed on tier 1, 2 and 3 teams, and 2 stars are allowed on Tier Stunty teams, but only after 11 standard players have been rostered first.

WYBBL have their very own star player who may be used; Edmund Wibble is a Halfling who will play for any team. His cost to hire is 150k, and his stats are as follows:
MA = 5 ST = 2 AG = 4 AV =6
Skills = Dodge, Jump Up, Loner, Right Stuff, Sprint, and Stunty

No inducements may be taken except by goblins and ogres, who may take up to 3 bribes at 50k each, and halflings who may hire a master chef for 100k.

Each team will be offered a skills package to enhance their players; this will be done on a tier system.

TIER 1 Amazons, Bretonnians, Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Lizardmen, Norse, Orcs, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elves

TIER 2 Chaos Pact, Elf Union, High Elves, Humans, Khemri, Necromantic

TIER 3 Chaos, Khorne, Nurgle, Slann, Underworld, Vampires

TIER Stunty Goblin, Halfling, Lizardmen (No Saurus), Ogres, Underworld (No Skaven)

The packages will be as follows:

TIER 1 = 2 normal skills, or 1 double skill

TIER 2 = 1 normal skill, and 1 double skill

TIER 3 = 2 normal skills, and 1 double skill

TIER Stunty = 4 normal skills, and 2 double skills

Games and Scoring

The first round will be drawn randomly, with all further rounds using the Swiss system. The overall winner will be the coach with the most points at the end of the day – there will be no final.

Points are scored as follows:

50 points for a win.
20 points for a draw.
0 points for a loss.

+1 Bonus point per touchdown (max 3 bonus points)
+1 Bonus point per casualty (max 3 bonus points)
+1 Bonus point per interception (max 3 bonus points)

Ties (for both Swiss and final winner) will be resolved as follows:

Ties to be determined on the following (in order) Head to Head, Strength of Schedule, Combined TD and Causality difference

Casualty score in this case is casualties from BLOCKING ONLY (including “defensive” ones where the blocking player ends up injured and gives the intended victim a casualty point).

Things To Bring With You

A painted (or inked) team.
Your Blood Bowl board.
Dice.
Templates.
Three roster sheets (one for the head ref, one for yourself and one for your opponent).

Once again Hornswoggle will be running Bash, Dash, and Mish-Mash trophies for the top coach in each category (that don't win a major prize, ie. 1st, 2nd, TD or Cas)

Bash Teams = Dwarves, Orcs, Chaos, Nurgle, Khorne, Undead, Chaos Dwarves, Khemri

Dash Teams = Pro Elves, Wood Elves, High Elves, Skaven, Humans, Slann, Underworld, Amazon

Mish-Mash = Vampire, Chaos Pact, Norse, Lizardmen, Dark Elves, Bretonians, Necromantic

We will also have a Most Flash trophy (best painted participating team) - to be eligible you must have painted the team yourself, or the coach that painted it is another participating coach at Hornswoggle (in which case the painter gets the trophy, not the person using the team).

Entry closes at midnight on the 30th of June.

Who is brave enough to play with just an 850k TV team?

Expect an announcement this weekend on the new Halfling roster being used at Hornswoggle. Our head ref is just reviewing the impact on our rule set, and confirming it's within the NAF rules (which we believe it is).

Darn kids, they don't know how easy they've got it these days!

Back in the day a 'Fling coach was a true player, winning on pure skill alone, nowadays... handed to them on a plate it is!
