Because of its central position, in the middle of Umbria region and of Italy, Foligno, is also called “Lu Centru dellu Munnu”, which means the center of the world. No blood bowl pitch can escape from this “rule”, so every team will have a special Team Re-roll which can be used (once per half) only to re-roll a legal (no armour/injury rolls and so on) event occurred on the 2 central lines of the pitch. That reroll is called “Re-roll dellu Centru dellu Campu” (re-roll of the center of the pitch).
