Now on to the details from Incom Gaming:

====================

Spring is in the air! The first of a 5 event series see’s IGBB return to its classic Haremageddon, now with even more leap!

Each player will chose one player of their starting 7 at random using a D8, this player is so overjoyed at not having to defrost their unmentionables during the halftime they cannot contain themselves and gain the LEAP & JUGGERNAUT skill for the duration of the game. Every successful leap must be tallied and there will be a prize for the most enthusiastic coach, minimum entry requirement for the prize is 9 over 3 games so get practicing and the Leap skill is below. Only Leaps by the afflicted … we mean lucky, player can count towards your tally.

LEAP - During their movement, instead of jumping over a single square that is occupied by a Prone or Stunned player, as described on page 45, a player with this skill may choose to Leap over any single adjacent square, including unoccupied squares and squares occupied by Standing players.

Additionally, this player may reduce any negative modifier applied to the Agility test when they attempt Jump over a Prone or Stunned player, or to Leap over an empty square or a square occupied by a standing player by 1, to a minimum of -1.
A player with a pogo stick cannot have this skill.

The most completed leaps will earn a prize.

Building your team:

All rules for team construction can be found on pg.91 of Death Zone 2020 edition (DZ) but below is a brief summary.

Coaches have 600k to purchase players for their team. Coaches must purchase a minimum of 7 players and can go up to a maximum of 11 players. All 27 NAF approved teams can be used.

Teams may have no more than 4 specialist players i.e. a player who is not one of the 0-12 or 0-16 options. In addition, teams may take no more than 2 of the same specialist e.g. Humans may hire 2 Blitzer, 1 Thrower and 1 Catcher for instance, but they cannot hire 4 Blitzers. Vampire, Ogres and Chaos teams are exempt from this rule.

You may purchase any of the inducements listed on pg.93 of DZ except mercenary players: We all know they are broken, let's be honest!
Star Players & legendary coaching staff are not allowed – There’s Snotlings vs Ogre wrestling on Cabalvision and it clashes.
