Rules

World Cup rules for Malta 2027

Scoring: 5/2/0

Timekeeping

• With a tight tournament schedule a chess clock or similar for timekeeping must be used. Players must bring their own chess clock or use a chess clock application on their mobile device.
• After you've completed the pregame introductions of your teams etc., divide the remaining hours and minutes (rounding down) by 2 and assign half of the game time to each player.
• Chess clocks can only be paused by a referee.
• Should a Coach's time run out on the chess clock during their turn, that Coach can only stand-up Players and turn stunned Players to the prone position.
• If a Coach suspects that their opponent is wasting time, they are to call a referee immediately.
• If a Coach is late from the game, the delay time is deducted from their half of the game time. Opponent divides the game time and starts the chess clock.

Games that Run Out of Time

At the end of the time allotted to each round, no more dice will be rolled. Coaches are allowed but not required to agree to what would have probably been the most likely result. If they do not, the result on the pitch at the end of the time will be final.

Pre-match Talks

Coaches are required to talk to their opponent before the start of the match explaining any play conventions they are using during the game, especially on topics like:

• How you roll dice, when a dice is cocked and how you will reroll it
• What constitutes an acceptable take back of an action
• What kind of tokens they will be using and what for (prone big guys, etc.)
• Your team's game pieces with their positions, skills and markings

Personal Conduct

We understand that Blood Bowl is a particularly emotional game and that Nuffle is a fickle master, however at no point should this be an excuse to abuse your opponent (verbally or otherwise), or to interrupt, disturb or impact other games.

We must all understand that attendees all come from different backgrounds, cultures, and have different ways of seeing things. Words and actions need to be more measured in such an environment. While swearing and a flying dice cup is acceptable where you're from, it isn't for others. We will not expect abuse from or to anyone especially referees and organising team. There will be a zero-tolerance policy and the penalties below will be enforced.

Dice cups, trays and towers are not only permitted but encouraged.

If one of the two Coaches facing off requests that one dice pool is used this must be done.

At the start of game Coaches facing off are encouraged to define for their game how to handle cocked dice and dice which escape from dice cups.

If a Coach suspects their opponent of misconduct, they are to call a referee immediately.

Penalty System

Should the above not be adhered to, referees and organisers will implement the penalty system below immediately:

• 1st Offence: A warning will be issued to the offending coach.
• 2nd Offence: 2 points will be deducted from the score of the offending coach.
• 3rd Offence: The offending coach is sent-off.

What to Bring

• Beer or equivalent (snacks)
• Models for your team. They don't have to be official GW miniatures but different positions should be clearly defined. Special skills should be marked on the models.
• Dice, templates, ball, tokens for turn, re-rolls & score, and a board. (The hosts can't supply enough boards for everyone.)
