You must use the Chaos Cup 2020 D6’s you received in each of your games
You may use your own block dice provided they are from GW or the NAF.
There will be no sharing dice, sharting dice, nor sharing sharted dice.
CHAOS ROUND
Before Round 6, but after you know who you are playing, you may award 2 mutations to your team
The players gaining the mutations must be the lineman position type (0-12 or 0-16) on your team and cannot have been given an additional skill increase for the tournament already
You must clearly mark which players have which mutation and make sure your opponent knows what you have chosen before the game begins
If your team race is a CHAOS, CHAOS PACT, NURGLE, or UNDERWORLD team, you are an exception to the above “Linemen only” rule for awarding mutations. You can still only award a mutation to a player that has not yet received an upgrade, but it can be any player type, not just 0-12 / 0-16
In addition, everyone will get a chance to have a special pet on the pitch TBD (to be discussed with NAF Tournament Director in accordance with all regulations that Chaos Magic typically ignores)
