Roster Building -
Every team will receive a free Gremlin on their roster that doesn't count towards the 11 mandatory players.
Gremlin stats:
Move 5
Str 2
Agi 3+
Arm 6+
Pass -
Jump up

Sneaky Git
Dodge
Stunty
Mischievous - Same as unchanneled fury except declaring a foul is also on a 2+

Additionally, if you roll Very Sunny on the weather table your Gremlins won't come out to play.
If you roll Pouring Rain on the weather table you and your or your opponent roll a single d3 (shared roll) and you will both gain that many Gremlins and may use the swarming rule.
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. 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.
