The Stunty Slam uses the old interpretation of Piling On. So, no reroll required.

No stat increases allowed.

Rds:
1 - Winter Weather
The icy conditions have made it treacherous underfoot, as it is extremely slippy! The ice means that players may go for it 3 times, rather than the normal 2. However, the ice makes it hard to keep control. GFIs are made using the throw in template to determine direction. If the player collides with another player, roll a d6 for both players. On a 4+ the player hits the ground (there is no armour/injury roll). If the moving player is not knocked over, they can continue going for it. If the active player is knocked down a Turnover is caused, as per the usual rules.

The direction of your GFI is decided after you make the roll. If you blitz someone and need to GFI to hit them, you still have to roll for direction, so you might miss them with a swing or two before you hit them (or you might miss them all together!)

2 - Teleporters

At the start of each half, before the players are set up, each coach gets three Teleporter tokens to place on 3 squares within their own half. Once the teams are set up, but before the kick-off is resolved, each teleporter moves d3 squares in a random direction (use a d8 and the scatter template to work this out)

Teleporters cannot scatter off the pitch, but they can scatter into the opposing half. If a teleporter scatters onto another teleporter, both scatter again.

If the ball goes into the teleporter and then lands on the same one when teleporting, the ball is ejected to a random square adjacent to the teleporter.

If the ball goes into the teleporter from kick-off and ends up in the opposition’s half this will result in a touchback.

A player may enter onto a Teleporter square using 1 square of movement as normal. They then roll a d6 to see which Teleporter they are transported to. If they roll the same number as the Teleporter they entered into, they are immediately placed in the reserves box. This only causes a Turnover if they were the ball carrier.

Players leave the Teleporter via a random direction, determined by a d8 roll using the scatter template. If another player is blocking that square, they are pushed back. Leaving a teleporter cost 1 square of MA.

You may attempt to pass the ball onto a Teleporter square. If the ball lands on it, it will pass to another Teleporter in the same way a player would. If a member of your team catches it when it comes out of the second Teleporter, there is no Turnover and you may continue playing. If the ball Teleports back to the same Teleporter it started in, it simply scatters one square.

You may block a player into a Teleporter as if it were an empty square. They then roll a d6 and follow the same rules as if they had moved into the Transporter voluntarily.

3 - Play Your Cards Right (new card effects this year...)
Each coach will get to randomly choose 3 cards from the special Stunty play cards. The details of which will be revealed on the day.

4 - Spuds check
The teams are playing their last game in the most feared stadium in the Old World - the Neue Den. The crowd are baying for the blood of both sides, the atmosphere is not for the nervous and some players will buckle under the pressure! These guys are here to see blood, not touchdowns!

A player has to show that they have the 'spuds' to score. When a ball carrying player approaches the line, they have to make a 'spuds check'. This is not rerollable On a 2+, everything is fine and they can go that final square into the endzone and score. However, if a 1 is the outcome, then the player does not have the 'spuds' to proceed. Their turn ends with them one step from touchdown glory… and possibly ripe for a mauling!

Similarly, if a player is already in the endzone and is awaiting a pass/hand-off, they have to make the 'spuds check' to see if they have the bravery to catch the ball and provoke the ire of the baying hordes around them! On a 1, the player refuses to make the catch and the ball hits the deck, scattering 1 square. A failed spuds check is not an automatic turnover. This means that there is the chance for protection to arrive for the ball carrying runner. Similarly, if the catch is refused, then the turn can continue if the ball lands in someone elses hands...If the ball carrying player is thrown, there is no need for a spuds check if you scatter into the endzone. However, if you land and then have to move to get into the endzone, a spuds check applies. A spuds check is rolled before you make a GFI, if required, to make it into the endzone, or catch roll.

Post prize giving we will be heading for a curry nearby (Mr Ali’s). I’ll book a table beforehand for whoever wants in.

Hi, what time is the tournament?

[Leipziger]

Hey Rob! Still firming up times. It’s likely to be 9:30 I’d say

[Roblematic]

Thanks I’m looking into training it

Rules questions for you Alex about the limpin' squig.

1 - If the squig is on the floor at the start of the turn, it will hop three times. Do you roll direction once and move it 3 squares that direction, or roll for direction for each square of movement.

2 - The squig is treated as a bouncing ball if it ends up in an occupied square. Does that apply only to its 3rd and final square of movement? What happens if there is a player in square 1 and/or 2? Can they try to catch it? If they fail to catch it does it then move another 3 squares?

And, before you start, no - I'm not over thinking this. This is important. One doesn't finish 8th at the biggest Waterbowl ever without taking the game this seriously.

[Leipziger]

1 - roll for each hop
2 - should the ball enter an occupied square on hop 1 or 2 then a catch may be attempted

[deeferdan]

Sooooooo...
will the new halflings all be in?

[Barney the Lurker]

From what I saw, not all the stars would be eligible

That's okay. Halfling and Ogre teams would be allowed the special homebrew inducements though?
