SCHEDULE NOTES
*If you are NOT at your table when the time starts the round, your opponent will decide who KICKS/RECEIVES - If you are 15 min late to your match, your opponent will get the auto win*

*If you feel as though your match is falling behind, it's recommended that coaches use the four-minute timer to help matches finish on time. If there are any concerns about time left in the round or using the four-minute rule, please ask for a REF or the TO to come to the table.*


*Once time is called for the round, you may finish your activation (not your turn).*


*We will once again be using bbtm.app to run this event. This is NOT an app to be installed on your smart phone or tablet, simply a website used to track the tournament. On your browser, go to the site, log in with your NAF name only and you will see your match. Both You and Your Opponent will enter the match results. If there is an error between the results, the app will let you know. If you need help entering in results, please visit the Tournament Organizer's Table. If you need assistance finding your table before a round, please see any visible Chaos Cup team member; Tournament Organizers or Referees. *

DICE & DICE ETIQUETTE

  • NAF, GW and the 2026 Baron of Dice CHAOS CUP dice sets + the 2026 Tournament Dice are the ONLY dice that can be used for this event, and as NAF tournament guidelines dictate, Dice Sharing must be adhered to when requsted by your opponent. 
  • It is NOT mandatory, but Dice Cups and Dice Towers are encouraged. It is also good dice etiquette that all dice should rest completely flat and that "cocked" dice should be re-rolled.


AVATAR of AKHORNE - Round 1 (Optional)

All coches during Round 1 will be able to invoke the AVATAR of AKHRONE Special Ability for one of their lineman positions (0-12 or 0-16)

  • For Round 1 only, this player will replace their stats/skills with that of Akhorne the Squirrel. It is HIGHLY encouraged to utilize an AKHORNE model for this round.


CHAOS ROUND - Round 6

Before Round 6, but after you know who you are playing, you may award 2 mutations to your team

  • The players gaining the mutations must be the lineman position type (0-12 or 0-16) on your team and cannot have been given an additional skill increase for the tournament already
  • You must clearly mark which players have which mutation and make sure your opponent knows what you have chosen before the game begins
  • If your team race is a CHAOS, CHAOS DWARF, CHAOS PACT, NURGLE, or KHORNE team, you are an exception to the above “Linemen only” rule for awarding mutations. You can still only award a mutation to a  player that has not yet received an upgrade, but it can be any player type, not just 0-12 / 0-16


TOURNAMENT POINTS & TIEBREAKERS

After 6 rounds, the Chaos Cup Champion (as well as Runner-Up and 3rd Place) will be determined by overall tournament points. In case of tie-breakers, the below bullet points will be used to determine the outcome.

  • Number of WIns
  • Opponent Score (Strength of Schedule)
  • Touchdowns + Touchdown Differential
  • Casualties + Casualty Differential


Stunty Cup

The #1 and #2 ranked Stunty coaches after Round 5 will be playing for the title of Chaos Cup Stunty Cup Champion. The winner of this game is the Stunty Cup Champion.

Stunty teams are:

  • Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Ogre, Snotling, Lizardmen with no Saurus, Underworld with no Skaven and Black Orcs with no Orcs.
  • Additionally, MEGA-STARS have also refused to play for any team that considers themselves "Stunty."


The Wooden Spoon

The Bottom Two Coaches will play each other for the "Honour" of being the Wooden Spoon Recipient. Rounds 1-5 reserve you the spot, but in order to EARN the wooden spoon, you have to beat your fellow bottom dweller.
