Titanbowl 5 - 13/07/24 NAF ranked - Sheffield, UK

[Nodgefodgekins]

East, beyond the Empire, beyond Sylvania, beyond the Black Mountains, the Plain of Zharr and the Blasted Wastes, on the far side of the Mourn Mountains, there it is: Giant country.

Since the (re)addition of Slave Giants to the beautiful game, the Ancient Giant Lands have developed into a sporting hub. Any team wanting to prove its worth is setting off far beyond the end of the Silver Road in search of glory. A team such as yours. Any team brave, cunning or stupid enough to venture this far East in search of fame aims for one tournament above all others to prove their intestinal fortitude: The Titanbowl!

This tournament uses ‘Season 2’ (2020) rules. The format is a standard 3-game resurrection tournament (with one giant difference!) with the same team roster to be used in every match with no injuries, deaths, raised players or player progression carrying over between games.

Prizes are up for grabs for the Overall Winner, 2nd place, 3rd place, Most Casualties, Most Touchdowns, Darwin Award (most casualties suffered), Best Stunty team, Most Completed Passes and Best Giant model**
**This must be painted by the participant him/herself, be fully painted and based and must be the model you are actually using in the tournament.

Note that, with the exception of painting awards, all prizes will be distributed so that no one wins more than one - we like as many prize winners as possible!

Spot prizes will also be available throughout the day, mostly giant related!

𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫
Coaches have 1.1 million gold crowns to spend on buying players, Assistant Coaches, Cheerleaders, Apothecaries, Bloodweiser Kegs, Dedicated Fans and Rerolls.

The following Special Rules are in effect:
Teams with the ‘Halfling Thimble Cup’ special rule may take Master Chefs for 100,000 gold pieces.
Teams with the ‘Bribery and Corruption’ special rule can buy 0-3 Bribes for 50,000 gold pieces. for the relevant teams.
Teams with the ‘Masters of Undeath’ special rule can gain a Zombie in a game in which they kill an opposing player (as per official rules) but the new zombie will not carry over into the next game(s); the same applies for Nurgle teams.

In addition to your 1.1m roster and skills, each team has a Sporting Giant! This player follows all the rules in Death Zone and cannot be given additional skills. The giant counts as 1 of your 16 rostered players.

No star players are allowed, but Tier 3 teams can hire a second Sporting Giant as part of their 1.1m budget for 350,000gc! (This giant can be one your starting 11 players)

𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬
Each team has a skill package to enhance their players. You may not assign more than one additional skill to any player. Coaches will have the following skills allowance for their team:

Tier 2: 5 primary skills
Tier 3: 6 primary skills

Tiers 1 and 2 may swap two primary skills for a secondary skill. Tier 3 may do this up to three times.

(Tiers are based on the 2020 rulebook unless re-assigned by an official errata)
