Chaos Cup 2026
Come join us for a little Chaos in the Cape, a Blood Bowl tournament for everybody that loves the game but particularly as a chance to practice for the upcoming Chaos Cup later this year.
A three round event with rules close to the Chaos Cup rules.
Entry Fee
- $15 (plus $5 if you need to join NAF)
- All fees will be converted into store credit to be given out as prizes.
Team Creation
You are given 1,150,000 gold pieces to build your team. You may purchase players, rerolls, fan factor, asst. coaches, cheerleaders, apothecary and inducements with this money.
Chaos in the Cape No-Play List
Only inducements from the 2025 rulebook are allowed. The following inducements are NOT available:
- Mercenaries
- Wizards
- Prayers to Nuffle
Star Players
- If you are including a Star Player, you must have 11 players on your team BEFORE hiring them. Having 10 players plus a Star is not allowed.
- Remember, the HIGHLANDER Rule is in effect: You CANNOT have the same Star Player as your opponent. If both of you attempt to field the same player, then that star player has swindled you both! Neither of you can field them.
- The new editions of Blood Bowl have given Star Players each their own "Special Rule". If you have a Star Player on your roster, you are expected to explain the "Special Rule" to your opponent and make sure you keep track of its use.
