Concept:
This is going to be a practice tournament for the 2026 Amorical Cup. This will NOT be a team event.
We will be following the same roster building guidelines as the 2026 Amorical Cup.
This will be a one day, three round tournament.
Coaches will randomly be paired first round, with later rounds using Swiss pairings.
Individual performance is 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.
The tie-breakers are:
– Strength of schedule
– Combined CAS & TD +/-
– TD +/-
– TD Scored
Blood Bowl Tournament Manager app will be used to run this event.
