ELIGIABLE TEAMS
All of the teams available in the Current Blood Bowl Rulebook; including relevant White Dwarf or official publications like Spike! Magazine.
TEAM BUILD
Coaches have 1,200,000 gold with which to build their teams. All teams will be required to field at least 11 players, including Stars.
If you are including a Star Player OR a Giant, you must have 11 players on your team before hiring them, making them the 12 player.
Note: 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 both teams! Neither of you can field them.
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.
We will be using 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:
Goblin, Halfling, Ogre
Note: Star players may not be given additional skills.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The tournament is played over 1 day and will use the ‘Exhibition Play’ rules (p101-103 of the official Rulebook). This means that each team remains unchanged throughout the day, no winnings, no SPP, injuries do not carry over.
Each coach will participate in 3 games, “Swiss” style. Therefore, in the first round, coaches will be randomly matched against other coaches. After that, the coaches will be allocated by win record to encourage same skill level of play. The only other rule regarding pairings is that you can never play the same opponent twice. For this reason, you may find that your opponents don’t always have a record identical to yours.
To stay on schedule, we encourage the use of chess clocks (or similar use of smartphone timers) to give each player one hour of time and while this won't be enforced it is recommended that you try to limit each turn to 3.5 minutes (210 seconds). We will also not be using the Overtime Rules in the CRP: if a game is tied at the end of two halves, it will be recorded as a tie. Each game will be two hours in length.
