The West Middenland Open will abide by the latest guidelines for all NAF tournaments, last published in January 2025. The event will follow Games Workshop's Designer's Commentary from May 2026 and current Teams of Legend documents. Any publications released by Games Workshop before the end of September 2026 (such as a new Spike! magazine or rules in miniature packs) are also eligible for use.
The West Middenland Open will also follow the NAF Recommendations and Clarifications for BB2025.
Rosters are purchased with a treasury of 1,200,000 gold crowns to buy players, team rerolls, and staff such as apothecaries, cheerleaders and assistant coaches.
If you have an official Percy The Troll miniature, you may count it as 1 free Assistant coach.
All teams currently approved for tournaments will be allowed to play. This includes the teams in the Blood Bowl 2025 Rule book, Spike Magazines released after the BB25 rules and the NAF-approved Slann roster.
The only inducements allowed are:
All Star Players with Games Workshop published rules for Blood Bowl 2025 will be accepted except:

Skills can be allocated as follows:
Secondary skills may be substituted with a primary skill. Only 1 skill may be taken per player. Star Players cannot take extra skills.
Each match in the tournament will be scored as follows:
† Any and every action that causes a casualty counts - including fouls, surfs and bombs as well as good old-fashioned hitting people hard.
The following prizes will be awarded:
It is only possible to win one prize per team (except Best Painted). If the overall winner also scores most Touchdowns, the latter will cascade down to the next best.
If the Cheering Fans result is rolled on the Kick Off Table the winning coach must roll on the Percy the Troll table (See Page 4) rather than gaining a free assist.
In the event of a tie, both coaches roll on the Percy the Troll table
Rounds are 2 hours and 15 minutes. Whilst some leeway can be provided you risk missing lunch (Percy is after all, Always Hungry) and causing the whole tournament to run late. If the refs ask you to put your dice down and report the match as it is, unfortunately that's it.
Respect your opponents and the coaches around you. Blood Bowl is a stressful game and tempers can fray but it's up to you to manage yourself.
Your opponent is fully entitled to ask to share your dice, and vice versa. If you're not willing to share a set of dice, don't use them.
