Your team roster will be checked by your opponent before each round to verify that there are no errors and that skills have been correctly assigned. In case of error, the responsible party must correct their sheet as soon as possible. In case of disagreement, an arbiter will intervene.
Rounds last 2 hours 30 minutes, from setup to final whistle, please adhere to this out of respect for your opponent, other players and the organization. During each round, an arbiter will tour the room regularly and may impose a timer with global time if you are running too late. It is also possible to set a global timer from the start of the match if either of the 2 coaches requests it. In case of disagreement with an opponent, please contact the arbiter who will decide or lead the opponents to the pillory.
Special Events
At each round you will be distributed a "Special Event" sheet through which the hounds of Orléans will interfere with your Blood Bowl matches. It is pointless to try to interrogate the organizers. We will be silent as the grave and friendly as the hounds of Orléans (but we will study all proposals!!)
Roster Composition:
11 players minimum, stars-players included. 1 maximum additional skill per player. One league to choose for teams having several choices to determine possible Champions. A recruited champion costs 1 additional elite skill on top of the PO cost (if you had the right to 4 elite skills but you use a star, you will only have 3 left!) Mega-stars will remain on the sidelines this year. We told you, we are hounds. You cannot have more than 4 times the same additional elite skill per team. Team categories are those in the rulebook.
Category 1: 1,100,000 PO 5 possible skills, of which 1 secondary max and 4 elite 1 possible champion
Category 2: 1,120,000 PO 6 possible skills, of which 2 secondary max and 5 elite 1 possible champion
