TEAM BUILD:
With the attempt of creating a diverse field of teams for Golden Tentacle, the thought is to create a rule set that will encourage coaches to bring different teams and also different builds. In doing so we hope to allow coaches to use their creative minds to encapsulate the very essence of what they wanted to achieve with their build but also keep it fair and competitive on the pitch. Playing your matches is only half of the sport and team building can set you up for success the day of an event or failure with a poor build. We are giving a tiered gold amount (GP) to use however you choose to build your team. If you want more skills great, a bigger bench great, stars great, you decide. We chose not to limit the number of times a skill can be taken (primary or secondary) at this event. No player may be given more than one additional skill (primary or secondary), and star players may not be given any additional skills. Coaches will use the gold they are provided to buy players, team rerolls, coaching staff, and skills.

Special Rules:
Lewdgrip Whiparm 160,00 GP MA 6 / ST 3 / AG 3+ / PA 3+ / AV10+
Skills: Dodge, Loner 4+, Pass, Cannoneer, Sure Hands, Tackle
Teams: All
Special Ability:
Once per game Lewdgrip may both throw a pass and blitz, in either order. In order to perform both actions he may continue his any additional movement he has after the first action is performed. Both actions must fall under his normal movement. This does use up both the pass and the blitz action for this turn.
There Are Tentacles Everywhere:
If a six is rolled on the Kickoff, instead of Cheering Fans as normal, do the following:
Roll a tournament provided D6, the loosing coach has D3 random players held by a ST 5 tentacle (opponent rolls tentacle skill roll when needed). In the case of a tie, both coaches are affected. Use the same D3 roll for both coaches (kicking coach rolls in this case). Once the tentacle has been successfully moved away from, or the player is blocked away, the tentacle goes away.
