Etiquette
Blood bowl is a battle of skill and luck between you and your opponent.
Quick reference guides for core rules are useful and encouraged
Play books that tell you how to set up, attempt a one turn touchdown etc. are not cool (unless you’re a junior player)
Please don’t distract other tables/players whilst they are playing the game
You may not comment or remind anyone of rules etc on a game you are not involved in
Skill markers are for your opponents benefit - make sure skills are clearly marked
Should any coach need confirmation on a rule that can’t be resolved with your opponent, please check with the tournament organiser
It’s only a game! Try to have fun, and be the opponent you’d like to play against!
