Really Stupid Plays
Before every game, each coach must select one of the following ‘Really Stupid’ Plays which they need to achieve to gain one additional tournament point. Each Really Stupid play can only be selected once during the event and must be selected before the start of the game. The play is to be kept secret until it is achieved, so make a note of your selection and declare it to your opponent once achieved.
C’mon Ref - Have one of your players sent off for fouling. Your player must still be sent off after any Bribes or Argue the Call rolls.
Go Long - Make a successful accurate pass. The intended target must catch an accurate pass, not a bouncing ball. This does not include Throw team-mate.
I never liked them anyway - Suffer one or more Casualties during the game. This is achieved if the player is placed in the Casualty box and remains there until the end of the game. Players sent-off do not count.
Surf’s up baby - Have one of your players pushed off the field (aka Surfed). Surfing your own players also counts.
Get on with it - Successfully complete three or more Rush’s in one of your team turns.

Painted miniatures are not required but it is strongly encouraged.

The award will be assessed by an independent judge appointed by the tournament organiser.
