NAF Rules for Tournaments 2024

Attending Your First Tournament?

Games Workshop FAQ & Errata

• Blood Bowl Second Season (2020) Rule Set
• All Races in the Rulebook, Teams of Legend Document, & NAF additional
• Special Play Cards will not be used
• All injuries reset after each game
• Apothecaries work as described in the Rulebook
• Illegal Procedure can be shouted but will not be penalized

You are given 1,200,000 gold pieces to build your team.   You may purchase players, rerolls, fan factor, coaches, and cheerleaders as normal with this money.

Wizards, Journeymen, Special Play cards of any kind, Mercenaries (with the exception of GIANTS), the Halfling Hot Pot, and inducements from the Matched Play Guide and various White Dwarf Issues are NOT ALLOWED. You may purchase any other inducements for your team including Star Players. *If in doubt, please reach out to the Tournament Organizer for pre-approval before submitting your roster.*

Note: If you are including a Star Player OR a Giant, you must have 11 players on your team BEFORE hiring them. Having 10 players plus a Star or GIANT is not allowed. Remember:  You can not have the same Star Player as your opponent.  If both of you attempt to field the same player, then that star player has swindled you both!!  Neither of you can field them.  Also, you cannot use Igors or Apothecaries on Star Players.

**All new star players from the Second Season Edition and subsequent Spike Journals will be allowed.  Second Season Edition has given Star Players each their own "Special Rule".  If you have a Star Player on your roster, you are expected to explain the "Special Rule" to your opponent.  Please use the Chaos Cup Coin to represent when the Star Player has spent his special, once per game rule.**

Being the NAF North American Major and the move towards Tiering... we will now be tiering races and providing Star Player Points for skills based on the tier that race is in - as follows:

Tier 1 teams get 42 SPP to spend:

       Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Human, High Elf, Lizardmen, Necromantic Horror, Norse, Orcs, Shambling Undead, Skaven, Underworld Denizens, Wood Elf   

Tier 2 teams get 54 SPP to spend:

       Black Orc, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegade, Elven Union, Imperial Nobility, Khorne, Nurgle, Old World Alliance, Slann, Snotlings, Tomb Kings, Vampire   

Tier 3 teams get 66 SPP to spend:

        Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Ogre  

Primary Skills are 6 SPP / Secondary Skills are 12 SPP.  No Stat increases.  Maximum four (4) of any skill type.  You may put a second Primary skill on a player, but it counts as a Selected Primary Skill (may not put a Secondary Skill and Primary on one player - may not add skills to Star Players).  A single player with TWO Primary Skills will cost 14 SPP.  

Star Players - in addition to their hiring fee - stars will cost you an extra 12 SPP Due to popularity and market demand... Current GW MEGA STARS (see current FAQ) Bomber Dribblesnot, Cindy Piewhistle, Deeproot Strong Branch, Morg n Thorg, Griff Oberwald, Hackflem Skuttlespike, and Kreek Rustgouger cost 18 SPP (not 12) and ONLY 1 Mega Star is Allowed!!!

 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.*

• 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

TOP TABLE/TIEBREAKER

The #1-#4 ranked coaches after Round 5 will be playing for the title of Chaos Cup Champion 2nd and 3rd place. The winner of this Top Table game is the Chaos Cup Champion. In case of a tie score in this Top Table game, the below bullet points will be used to determine the winner.

Pairings will be determined by wins, then tiebreakers based on the following, in this order:

• Head to Head record
• TD Differential
• Strength of Schedule
• Tournament Organizer discretion based on Sportsmanship (let's all offer some prayers to NUFFLE that it does not come to this)

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. Pairings and tiebreakers are determined the same way as the championship match at Top Table (above).

Stunty teams are:

• Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Ogre, Snotling, Lizardmen with no Saurus, Underworld with no Skaven and Black Orcs with no Orcs.
• No star players are allowed for the above-mentioned Lizardmen, Underworld teams & Black Orc stunty teams with the exception of the CHAOS CUP STAR PLAYERS (CiCi the Lustrian Lycanthrope and the Norse Stars Lostericsson & Bjarnhildr). If these stars are taken, the aforementioned teams will get commensurate SPP based on their original Tiering and NOT Stunty Tier 3. Additionally, Morg, Griff, and Hackflem 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.
