TOURNAMENT RESTRICTIONS/RULES:
- 600,000pts allowed for a team, with injured players/casualties recovering for the next game
- the team MUST be an official GW or League of Legends team (see the latest errata for the list of permitted teams).
- Proxies or 3D-printed miniatures may be used
- Same team to be used throughout the tournament. Any inducements bought CANNOT be changed between games (I.e inducements are bought BEFORE the start of the tournament, and cannot be changed throughout the tournament). The only exception to this rule is the use of 'desperate measures', which is clarified in this list (I.e. it's bought BEFORE the start of the tournament, but the actual 'measure' is rolled for each game).
- SKILLS PACKAGE: This tournament operates a 'skills package', using the same 'tier' system as that used in the latest official BB FAQ/errata; for the purpose of this tournament, this simply means that:
(1) ONE primary ability can be assigned to ONE player of a Tier 1 team, and
(2) TWO primary abilities (or ONE primary ability and ONE secondary ability) can be assigned to TWO players of a Tier 2 team (i.e. each of the two players receives ONE skill each) , and
(3) FOUR primary abilities (or TWO primary abilities AND TWO secondary abilities) can be assigned to FOUR players of a Tier 3 team (i.e. each of the four players receives ONE skill each).
The above 'skill' abilities are assigned to teams BEFORE the first round of the tournament and CANNOT be changed throughout the tournament.
- With reference to the 'skills package' above, restrictions are placed on the following primary skills:
(1) The 'leader' skill is not allowed to be taken
(2) The 'pro' skill is not allowed to be taken
(3) If a 'desperate measure' is taken as an inducement, it's rolled for at the start of each game.
(4) A maximum of ONE 'desperate measure' may be purchased per team.
- No star players may be purchased.
- TIER 3 POSITIONAL PLAYERS: there are NO restrictions on the number of positional players that may be taken (i.e. the usual cap of 4 non-linesmen per team does NOT apply to Tier 3 teams in this tournament).
- Tournament scoring: 2pts for a win, 1pt for a draw, 0pts for a loss. Bonus points will also be awarded for scoring 2+ touchdowns, inflicting 2+ casualties*. In the event of tied scoring, touchdown differences, touchdown totals, and total casualties inflicted will be used to help determine coaches' positions.
* a 'casualty' is inflicted, where:
- it would normally result in SPP being awarded
- the victim becomes a casualty as a result of being pushed into the crowd
- the victim becomes a casualty as a result of being fouled
1h 30m allowed per game (4 games total).
Arrive/register: 9.45am
Game 1 Kick off: 10.30am
Break for lunch at 12pm; 'best painted' entries are judged (with winner announced at end)
Game 2 Kick off: 1pm
Game 3 Kick off: 2.45pm
Game 4 Kick off: 4.30pm (finishes at 6pm)
Tournament rankings (including 'best painted') announced just before 6.30pm
2020 edition of rules in use, with latest FAQ and the 7s rules from the 2020/21 Death Zone supplement (NOT the NAF supplement) also applying. If you're unsure what the latest 7s rules are, please send an email to [email protected] and I'll fill you in.
This is a self-policing tournament; any issues should be resolved between coaches or, if necessary, ruled on by a third player.
In the case of odd numbers, a 'bye' will be applied (first at random, then randomly to one the lowest scoring coaches in the bottom six at the start of each round). A 'bye' will count as a 2-0 win (i.e. 2pts + 1 Bpt).
Above all, this is meant to be a fun and light-hearted tournament and should not be taken too seriously (though, of course, there are some top prizes to be won!)
Please note that all profits from this event will be donated to Ecclesall Ranger Football Club (specifically, the Under 13s team for next season).
