RULE HIGHLIGHTS:
THREE BALL FORMAT
The people who host the Bonehead Podcast have a lot of experience hosting Dungeon Bowl events (and our own experience). As such, I am going to follow their lead and learn from their experience and declare that we will be using the Three Ball Format.
FATHER/SON TEAMS
Stew Bowl has been attracting a lot of fathers and sons out, so I want to lean into that, there will be a house rule will be unofficial "teams" of two: Father and Son. Now, while it is not a requirement for them to actually be related, players will be encouraged to call each other "Father" (or Pa, Papa, Mon Pere) throughout the tournament. The first player on a team that is Lost in the Warp, will appear in the reserves box of their Team Member. Any future players Lost in the Warp by that team will stay lost. This can happen once each way (once from Father to Son and once from Son to Father).
ELIGIBLE TEAMS
Due to the recent release of Blood Bowl Season Three, the Stew Bowl III will only be allowing regular teams into the tournament. So please use your regular rulebooks and rosters for the creation of the teams.
TIERS
There will be a 5 tier system which is the same one being used for the Amorical Cup.
TEAM VALUE / DRAFT VALUE
Teams will get amounts to spend on team building AND skills. This will be based on their tier.

Only Bribes can be induced

No star players will be allowed
