Team Building
The latest Eurobowl 2025 beta or final rules released before the tournament will be used.
Version: Public beta, Updated in November
Starting Gold and Star Player Points (SPP)
Tier 1: 1100k & 36 SPP
Tier 2: 1110k & 42 SPP
Tier 3: 1120k & 50 SPP
Tier 4: 1130k & 56 SPP
Tier 5: 1140k & 64 SPP
Tier 6: 1150k & 70 SPP
You can spend spp according to the rulebook, but no random skills or characteristic improvements are allowed.
You are only allowed to take two extra skills on the same player.
You are only allowed to “stack” for 1 player for tier 1-2, 2 players for tier 3-4 and 3 players for tier 5-6.
Unspent gold and star player points are lost.
You can’t choose more than 4 from the same skill while spending star player points. If your team already has at least 4 from the same skill after buying your players (including star players) but before spending your skill points you CAN’T have more of that skill.
i.e.: A dark elf coach bought 4 blitzers and 2 witch elfs, thus they can only give out two more dodge before reaching the limit of 4 dodges total. Since they already have at least 4 blocks on the roster they cannot give out any more.
You are not allowed to have bribes if your team also has gained either sneaky git or dirty player skill on the roster.
Optional packs (may choose one):
A: “Quantity over quality”: You can exchange 2 spp for 10k gold up to 5 times. (Gaining you a maximum of 50k gold for 10 spp.)
B: “Training camp”: Get extra 6 spp but you lose 30k gold. If you choose this pack, you are not allowed to “stack”.
C: “Center of attention”: Your team can hire star players but lose 8 spp for star players costing up to 120k, 14 spp for star players costing 121-260k, 20 spp for star players costing more than 260k.
