FUMBBL - Lusitanian Spring Cup '26!
THE TOURNAMENT
Following the success of the Lusobowl (Tabletop Portuguese National) ruleset, where myself and Galentio were part of the rules committee, we decided to evolve the ruleset further, first by adjusting a few teams that either underperformed or outperformed, but also changing the tier model a bit, from the "one line per team" to a more flexible grid ruleset, that doesn't feel like we were imposing there's a right/best way to build each team.
The Lusitanian Spring Cup '26 will be a 6 round, swiss tounnament. played on fumbbl under the Blood Bowl 2025 Official Rules, NAF's FAQ, GW’s FAQ’s, Fumbbl FAQ (which is the "master" FAQ for this tournament, since those are the rules applied in the client),Teams of Legends and NAF’s additional races’ rosters.
This will be an individual tournament, where coach will play against another coach each round. Each round will have the duration of 1 week.
Resurrection: Any injury or death suffered by a player will be cleared after each match, and each coach will start their matches with the registered rosters.
Rounds: The first round will be randomly sorted;
Following rounds will be sorted according to Swiss Draw.
