Team Creation
Teams at Critter’s Cup will be built according to their placement in the tier system. The composition of all teams and all improvements to be taken must be submitted before the tournament begins.
Each coach must purchase 11 players before including a star or mega-star players. Highlander rule is in effect for star players in individual matchups.
Apothecaries may not be used on Star Players
Teams will receive Skill Points and can assign Primary (1pt) and Secondary (2pts) skills. Stacking of two primaries is allowed depending on Tier, with a cost of +1 Skill Point (e.g., two primary skills on one player = 3 pts). You may not include a Secondary Skill in a stack.
Only four (4) of a particular Elite Skill (i.e., Block, Dodge, Guard, Mighty Blow) may be added to a roster.
