COSH Bowl Tournament Rules
General Rules
Team Rerolls & Reroll Restrictions:
- You may NOT purchase Team Rerolls
- You may NOT take the Leader skill on any player
- You may NOT purchase a Halfling Master Chef or Team Mascot
- If you take a Star Player that has Leader or grants a team reroll, you may not use the Leader skill or a special action to gain a reroll in any of your games
- A Star Player can use a specific action reroll however, such as Griff Oberwald's Consummate Professional rule
- If you roll Brilliant Coaching on the kick off table, use the following rule: "Randomly select one player on your team playing in this drive, The selected player gains the Pro skill for the duration of this drive"
COSH Rolls:
- Instead of Team Rerolls, you get COSH rolls based on what tier teams you are taking
- COSH rolls follow all the same rules as team rerolls except that they are shared between both teams and they do NOT reset at halftime
- Formula for COSH rolls: (Team 1 Tier + Team 2 Tier) × 2
- Example: Tier 1 (Humans) + Tier 4 (Goblins) = 5 × 2 = 10 COSH rolls shared between both teams
Team Captain Rules:
- You must pick a Team Captain who has the final veto on the use of any COSH roll
- You are permitted as his team mate to ask to use a reroll and he can say yes or no - you must accept his choice
- The Team Captain rule will return a COSH roll on the roll of a six as per the rules for Team Rerolls (that's why they're tier 1)
- MOST IMPORTANTLY - Your team will receive one bonus point for every unused COSH Roll at the end of each round
