Ruleset

2025 (Season 3) rules. Resurrection-style tournament with Swiss match-making and 7/3/0 points for wins, draws and losses. D6s will be provided and MUST be used for the duration of the tournament. Previous year's Jingle dice are also allowed. GW, NAF, or FUMBBL block dice will be the only permitted block dice.

Roster Building

Budget: 1,200,000gp to build your team including players, re-rolls, dedicated fans, apothecaries, bribes, assistant coaches, and assistant cheerleaders.

Teams may hire Riotous Rookies or a Master Chef at 100k if specifically allowed by their chosen roster's special rules.

Skills: There will be no tiering because it's Jingle Time. Teams will receive an additional 120,000gp to spend on extra skills for their players. No player can receive more than two skills, and no stat upgrades may be purchased.

• Primary skills cost 20,000gp
• Secondary skills cost 40,000gp
• Elite skills cost 10,000gp more (30,000gp for primary, 50,000gp for secondary)

Star Players: Star Players will be available to everyone. ALL STARS are on Santa's Naughty List and will not be allowed. However, each team MUST hire at least one of the following three special Star Players:

• Brett "Ginger" Mann - Cost 100,000gp - Plays for any team

  • MV 7 ST 2 AG 2+ PA 5+ AV 8+
  • Skills: Dodge, Sprint, Pro, Animosity (All), Loner (4+)
  • Special Ability: As the cookie crumbles - Once per game, after rolling dice for a Dodge roll, Brett "Ginger" Mann may spend 2 squares of movement to add 2 to the Dodge roll.

• Smawta Clawz - Cost 80,000gp - Plays for any team

  • MV 4 ST 7 AG 3+ PA - AV 9+
  • Skills: No Hands, Ball & Chain, Mighty Blow (+1), Secret Weapon, Loner (4+)
  • Special Ability: Smelling Salts - Smawta Clawz may add 2 to its KO return rolls but is unaffected by Bloodweiser kegs.

• Manny "Frosty" Snow - Cost 120,000gp - Plays for any team

  • MV 4 ST 5 AG 5+ PA - AV 9+
  • Skills: Claw, Stand Firm, Frenzy, Unchannelled Fury, Loner (4+)
  • Special Ability: Channeled Savagery - Once per game, instead of rolling for Unchannelled Fury, choose one friendly player adjacent to Manny "Frosty" Snow and place them in the reserves box. Manny is considered to have passed its Unchannelled Fury roll and gains Juggernaut for this activation.

Apothecaries: Work as stated in the rulebook.

Cost

• $25 for NAF Members (includes dice, gaming treats, and awards)
• $35 for everyone else (includes dice, gaming treats, and awards)

Special Rules

• We will be using the latest NAF rules.

• All casualties you can reasonably say were caused by a choice you made as the coach will count for scoring purposes. This includes those casualties inflicted by blocks, fouls, Secret Weapons, crowd-surfs, and any of your opponents' failed Dodges PROVIDED the marked square your opponent Dodged away from was under the effect of an appropriate skill such as Tackle, Diving Tackle, or Arm Bar. Self-inflicted casualties (such as Animal Savagery or Really Hungry) will count for the coach whose team has the skill.

Notes

• The 2h15min time limits will be strictly enforced.
• There will be extra prize support specifically for stunty teams and the sportsmanship award!
