normal after 1
dbl after 2
2 normal after 3
normal after 4
dbl after 5
All skills go onto RANDOM players and can be stacked
And theres some weird ball rule in round 6- you can use it to Bat other players or something.

@Thick_with_poo_on_the_end - mate try, please - for me, for once, to read the rules before asking questions that are covered in them. 
And to pre-empt your next question, there is a link to them in the first post 
@ Fire Olli. The rules for spiky balls add +1 to strength for blocking. Is this only when the player makes a block or is it all the time (effectively making it very hard to knock down ball carriers)? Also if you pass the ball to one of your players, they fail to catch and are then "blocked" by the ball, who chooses the direction of pushback? And if it's from an angle that isn't parallel or perpendicular to an end zone, or perfectly diagonal, then which direction is "straight back"?

Ok first of all The first game is going to start about 10ish so can everyone get there about 9.30-9.45am. You can park down the side of the pub or in B&Q carpark which is behind the pub. Can people bring boards and dugouts as well, i think i have enough but just incase i don't can you bring them.
@Lucifer. We used these rules in the final of the Ribble Warriors blood bowl league.
1) The player can only gain the +1 strength when he blocks.
2) the player goes down in the square he is in. This seemed to solve any punch ups between coaches.
I will confirm this on the day so everyone knows. Hope that helps. Any other question please just ask.

Cheers Olli - sounds very reasonable (*mutters something about missing the punch ups from the "good ole days"*)
On the car parking - didn't B&Q start clamping last year??

@Lucifer: Not sure. But i do remember there being Radio 1 in the park which is just around the corner so they may have been clamping because of that.
@Pippy: No worries. The one thing i am not 100% with is entering the NAF results so i may have to give you a ring when i am sitting in front of the laptop pulling my hair out.
