Team Creation
A coach will be provided with 1.2 million GP to spend on roster creation and must hire a minimum of 11 players. Any unspent cash at roster creation will be lost and all teams will be considered having the same Current Team Value (CTV) for the purpose of inducements and Prayers to Nuffle.
Gold may also be used to buy rerolls, assistant coaches, cheerleaders, apothecaries, fans, and approved inducements as specified later.
These are resurrection tournaments. No SPP is gained. Injuries, casualties or deaths do not carry on from one game to another.
Undead, Necromantic, Vampire and Nurgle teams may apply the Masters of Undeath and Plague Ridden special rules. Players added to a team roster because of those special rules are removed from the roster at the end of that game.
Teams will consist of a minimum of 11 players and a maximum of 16 players, including star players.
Star players can only be induced only after 11 regular players have already been rostered. See further information regarding star player restrictions, Star players cannot be given extra skills from the team’s skill budget. If both opposing teams are fielding the same star player in a game, both star players are allowed to play.
***Only one Star player may be taken on any roster***
Team Tiering
Teams are separated into four tiers, and each given different skill options to be applied after purchasing your team with gold.

MISC Rules and Guidelines
NAF Tournament Info
This is a NAF approved tournament.
More information can be found at TheNAF.net
Illegal Procedure
In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Illegal Procedures will not be called
Timing
The time limits WILL be strictly enforced. You will receive ‘Time Remaining’ updates from the Tournament Organizer to help you stay on pace.
The 4 Minute turn rule will not be used unless the Tournament organizer feels your game is in danger of not completing in the two hour time limit. He may insist on a timer being used and enforcing the 4 minute turn rule.
When time is called, you will play until each coach has had an equal number of turns.
Dice
You are required to use the D6 provided by the event. Unless your opponent agrees to allow other dice.
Overtime
There will be no overtime played. If your game ends in a draw, it's a draw.
Painting
All teams are expected to meet the minimum painted guidelines. They must have 3 colors on them and have had some attempt at making them appear finished. If this is an issue, please advise us.
Some discretion will be provided for new players or especially thematic teams.
Sportsmanship
We are here for the fun of the game, sportsmanship is not only encouraged from the coaches, it is required!
Fouling 16 turns in a row and running up the score is not poor sportsmanship, but gloating and ridiculing your opponent while doing so is.
Tournament Organizers will strictly enforce the “Don’t be a Douche” policy. Basically, it consists of not performing any acts of Douchebaggery.
Spread the Wealth
A coach may only win one award. If they are in line to win more than one award, they will be asked which one they would prefer and the next coach in line will be given the other award. Tournament organizers reserve the right to adjust the awards based on previously explained reasons or extenuating circumstances.
Awards
Champion - 1st place based on record and tie breakers
Challenger - 2nd place based on record and tie breakers
Best Offense - Most TDs scored
Best Defense - Least TDs allowed
Most Brutal - Most CAS caused
Stunty Champion - Highest placed Stunty team (Stunty teams are Goblins, Halflings, Ogre and Snotling)
Note: a stunty champion will not be awarded if there are fewer than 2 stunty teams competing.
Back of the Pack - Fewest tournament points by the coach who has finished all rounds as required.
A hosting venue may produce additional awards if they wish at their discretion. Examples: Best sportsman, Best painted, Most fouls, etc
