MMG Blood Bowl November 26

MMG Blood Bowl Resurrection Rules

Based on the Blood Bowl 2025 (Season 3) ruleset and official Games Workshop publications.

Where rules conflict, the most recent official Games Workshop FAQ or errata will apply.

Team Construction

• Budget: 1,150,000 Gold Pieces
• Team Size: Minimum 11 players before adding any Star Players
• Format: Resurrection - all injuries, deaths, and gold spend reset after every game
• Roster Reset: Teams return to their original roster after each match

Tiered Skill Allocation

Identify your team's tier using the official 2025 (Season 3) Matched Play tier list.

Tier 1

• 6 Primary Skills

Tier 2

• 9 Primary Skills

Tier 3 & 4 (Stunty)

• 10 Primary Skills
• May swap 2 Primary Skills for 2 Secondary Skills

Skill Stacking Limits

Tier 1 & 2:

• Maximum 1 additional skill per player

Tier 3 & 4:

• Maximum 2 additional skills per player

The "Elite 4" Cap

To encourage roster variety and prevent overly optimised builds, certain skills are restricted.

Elite Skills

• Block
• Dodge
• Guard
• Mighty Blow

Teams may purchase a maximum of Elite Skills from this list per tier:

• Tier 1: 4 Elite Skills
• Tier 2: 5 Elite Skills
• Tier 3: 6 Elite Skills
• Tier 4: 7 Elite Skills

Special Rule: For Underworld Denizens and Skaven, Two Heads counts as an Elite Skill toward the cap.

Note: Skills already printed on a player's profile (e.g. Dwarf Block) do not count toward this limit. No player may receive more than 2 additional skills.

Star Player Rules

Minimum Roster Requirement

Teams must have at least 11 standard players before adding any Star Players.

Non-Stunty Teams

Non-Stunty teams may hire a maximum of one (1) Star Player.

Stunty Teams (Tier 3 & 4)

Stunty teams may hire any Star Players available to their team, including Mega-Stars. This is intended to give Stunty teams a fighting chance against larger rosters.

Inducements & Discounts

Teams may purchase inducements during roster creation using their 1,150,000 GP budget. Teams do not receive additional inducements based on team value differences.

Bribes

• 50k for Goblins and Snotlings
• 100k for all other teams

Halfling Master Chef

• 100k for Halflings
• 300k for all other teams

Riotous Rookies

• 150k for Snotlings, Goblins, and Ogres

Any gold left unspent is lost and cannot be used to generate inducements before a match.

Tournament Scoring & Tiebreakers

Scoring follows the Tourplay standard configuration.

Match Points

• Win = 2 pts
• Draw = 1 pt
• Loss = 0 pts

Tiebreakers (in order)

1. Opponent Score (Buchholz / SOS)
2. Net Touchdowns (TD Difference)
3. Net Casualties (CAS Difference)
4. Total Touchdowns Scored

NAF Event Addendum (MMG One-Day Events)

If an event is advertised as an NAF-sanctioned event, the following also apply:

• Results will be submitted to the NAF rankings
• Coaches must provide a valid NAF number (one can be obtained on the day)
• The event will follow current NAF tournament guidelines
• Any additional tie-breakers or event-specific rules will be detailed on the day

Painting Requirement (NAF Events Only)

All models must have a minimum of three colours and be based.

For non-sanctioned local events, unpainted models are welcome (though we always encourage a bit of colour on the pitch).

Unless otherwise stated, these rules remain the core MMG roster format.

Event Play Guidelines

Player Responsibility

Coaches are responsible for remembering their own skills, abilities, and effects. If a rule or ability is forgotten and play has moved on, it is considered missed.

Dice and Cocked Rolls

Dice that are cocked, off the table, or unclear must be re-rolled. If both coaches cannot clearly read a result, it should be rolled again.

Sportsmanship

Blood Bowl is competitive but should always be enjoyable. Coaches are expected to play in good spirit and resolve disagreements politely. If a dispute cannot be resolved, the organiser's decision is final.
