NOVA Open 2025: Rookie Rumble

Sevens: Rookie Rumble This 5-round Blood Bowl Sevens event is home to minor league Blood Bowl players and up-and-coming Blood Bowl coaching talent. Only the best Sevens players and coaches will rise to the majors and achieve full Blood Bowl glory, but winning the Rookie Rumble is a step in the correct direction! The Rumble pits smaller, unproven teams against each other on a smaller pitch where high-risk can yield high-reward or crippling failure. Speed is king! Games are quick and the lives of these inept players even quicker. This is truly the “beer and pretzels” version of Blood Bowl, where limited re-rolls (often none!) can send all of your carefully laid plans spiraling. These games are fast, but brutal! Note: Though Rookie is in the name, this is not an event designed specifically for new coaches. There will be various experience levels, including some very experienced coaches. This is a great way to “speed-date” with Blood Bowl though.
