TEAM CREATION:
We are going to use the same system as the Armorical Cup, with a few tweaks:
- Tier A (1,150 K gc) – Amazon, Dark Elf, Lizardman, Shambling Undead, Vampire – 5 skill points
- Tier B (1,160 K gc) – Dwarf, Norse, Orc, Skaven, Wood Elf – 6 skill points
- Tier C (1,170 K gc) – Chaos Dwarf, Human, Necromantic, Tomb Kings, underworld Denizens – 7 skill points
- Tier D (1,180 K gc) – Elven Union, High Elf, Khorne, Old World Alliance, Slann – 8 skill points
- Tier E (1,190 K gc) – Black Orc, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegades, Imperial Nobility, Nurgle – 9 skill points
- Tier F (1,200 K gc) – Gnomes, Goblin, Halfling, Ogre, Snotling - 10 skill points
Primary skills are worth 1 point; secondary skills are worth 2 points;
No more than 2 extra skills per player at team creation, and no more than 3 extra skills on any player during tourney;
No more than two instances of the same added skill on your whole roster (if you got two extra Mighty Blows, you can never get a 3rd one);
No inducements except Halfling chefs for Halflings and bribes for Goblins & Snotlings.
Star players
Star players can be added to your roster ONCE YOU SELECTED 11 ROSTER PLAYERS AND YOU STILL HAVE GC LEFT!
Blood Bowl Star players are really insecure and fragile creatures, though. Thus, to protect their oversized ego, that hides the lack of a loving father figure while growing up, the Highlander Rule will be in effect.
Two teams facing each other while having the same Star player in their roster won't be able to field them, as these players will be filled with life-meaning questions about their place in the Universe.
These players won't play the game. Coaches will receive a Bloodweiser Keg for the match for their troubles.
Also, some star players incur skill penalties. Here’s the list:
Morg’N’Throg & Griff Oberwald: 3 skills;
Cindy Piewhistle, Deeproot Strongbranch, Hakflem Skuttlespike, Kreek Rustgouger & Bomber Dribblesnot: 2 primary skills;
Wilhelm Chaney: 1 primary skill.
Roster sheets
Coaches need to use a digital roster sheet that allows the quick calculation of starting TV. Many versions exist. Find one that suits you and that allows you to send us a copy via email at freddaigle75@gmail.com.
***ROSTERS MUST BE PROVIDED ON SEPT. 14TH AT THE LATEST***
- This a resurrection tourney;
- Positively no overtime;
FOUR NATIONS CUP SPECIAL RULES:
- Popol le Bleu, estranged wizard of the Four Nations League, enjoyed so much disrupting play during the first nine editions that he will again be available to each team for a single use throughout the tourney (meaning: everybody gets one use of a Hireling Sports-Wizard, as on p.94 of the BB2020 Official Rules Book;
- After each game, coaches select a player on their team and ROLL for a skill upgrade, BB 2016 style!
(When don’t use BB2016 rules, only the skill upgrade table)
