We play 6 games according to the resurrection style of play.
All injuries are healed after every game, no SPPs, no changing Fan Factor, no Winnings.
The pairings of Game 1 are determined at random. After that we will continue to use the swiss system.
All coaches start each game with the same teamsheet and skills they registered before the tournament.
Coaches with Undead, Necromantic and Nurgle teams are allowed to apply the Masters of Undeath and Plague Ridden rule, but can only use resurrected players in the same game they have resurrected them.
There will be no fanfactor increase, no winnings and no gaining of starplayerpoints. Any additional skills or spend money do/does not count towards the teamvalue.
All fielded miniatures must be painted (3 different colors) and the positions of the players must be clearly recognizable. If in doubt try using colored bases for the positionals:
Red: Blitzers
Green: Blockers
Yellow: Catchers, Runners
White: Throwers
Grey: Linos
Purple: Specialist, Big Guys
We recommend to use colored or named skill bands for additional skills, using the following colors for the most common skills:
Blue: Block
Yellow: Dodge
Green: Guard
White: Wrestle
Red: Mighty Blow (+1)
Orange: Tackle
time limit
All games have a timelimit of 2 hours and 30 minutes. If a match has not progressed into the second half after 1 hour and 30 minutes, the coaches will be asked to use a chessclock with the remaining time divided evenly between both. Under these circumstances, if either coach requests a chessclock, his opponent has to agree to that.
If any coach requests a chessclock before the last hour of the current round, the use will be determined by a ruling from a referee or by both coaches agreeing to it.
All chessclocks must be approved by a referee at the table with both coaches present.
If a coache’s time is spend he is only allowed to stand up any downed players and roll over his stunned players.
The gametime ends when the time for both coaches is spend or by a referee’s ruling, regardless of how much official playtime remains for this round. After this, if any turns remain, the game is ended immediately.
Teamsheets and more
All coaches should bring two copies of their teamsheet, dices and templates.
Please send in your teamsheet (with NAF name, NAF number) after the registration as fast as possbile. This will help us in running the tournament smoothly.

Win = 2 Points
Draw = 1 Point
Loss = 0 Points

Referee
There will be a team of referees at the venue to help solve problems if they arise. Feel free to contact one of the referees if you are not able to solve a situation with your opponent by yourself. The referees will also keep track of game time and if your match is not progressing fast enough you will be asked to use a chess clock or similar. All coaches should bring a timer or app to use if necessary to keep matches on time. We will always try to find a solution for every problem that is balanced for both coaches, but any decision by a referee is final.
