Underdog Star Players
Floodbowl is into its second year. The organisers have booked the stars from last year again and have found some more who are interested. Each team, after rostering 11 players from their team, has access to one of the following Underdog Star Players for free. Tier 4 and 5 Teams have access to two for free. These Star Players are able to play for any team.
On Tourplay, this is represented as an extra 10k gold available to each team to purchase them. If available to play, these Underdog Star Players must be set up on the pitch-the organisers want their money's worth!

Kick-off Table Differences
2 - Thrown Pear: Fan Factor + D6 roll off. The loser has one of Worcester's famous Black Pears thrown at their team. One player on their team randomly becomes prone and stunned. In the event of a tie, both teams are affected.
12 - Flooding River: The River Severn has flooded the pitch, washing almost everything away as both the crowd and players cling on for dear life. Both players randomly select a player on the pitch on their team. That player is washed off the pitch and put into the reserves box for the remainder of the drive.
