Team Building
Coaches have a maximum of 1,200,000 to build their team and teams must consist of a minimum of 11 players. Star players may be purchased after you have 11 players but the following are banned:
- Estelle la Veneaux
- Dribl y Druul

Star players that come as a pair (i.e Grak and Crumbleberry) are considered as one star player purchased
Coaches can select one of the following skill packs and star players
- Tier 1: 7 Primary Skills, 1 Secondary Skill, 1 star player
- Tier 2: 7 Primary Skills, 2 Secondary Skill, 1 star player
- Tier 3: 7 Primary Skills, 3 Secondary Skill, 2, star players
No stacking is allowed and all skills are chosen, not random.
As we will be using “Resurrection” rules; coaches will play each match with the same starting roster and do not need to record SPPs or any ongoing injuries. i.e as if by magic, your team is right as rain and ready to play their next match, even though half of them died in their last game.
Inducements
Meep-Bowl has the following inducements allowed:
- 0-2 Bloodweiser Kegs each for 50k available to all teams.

Tournament Scoring
Points for the games will be awarded accordingly:
- 3 points for a win

- -15 points for conceding
Models
Your team must be painted with a minimum of three colours and based. The all models must be numbered as per the roster.
All models must be WYSIWYG and proxies will be allowed, with approval prior to the tournament. Remember, this may be the first tournament for some people so having an elf team that looks like Scooby Doo isn’t very helpful.
The Players
All the players that attend the Tournament are expected to conduct themselves appropriately throughout the tournament. That includes playing the game in the right spirit, making sure they have everything they need. These will include:
- Dice (Clearly marked, no substitutes for standard block dice i.e must be line with the GW block dice, no eggs and bacon results for both down for example or anything wacky!)
- Templates and rulers
- Clear team rosters and their team!)
- A pitch
- Dugouts
Please note: We expect all players to ensure they are contributing to a friendly environment where everyone can enjoy their games and the time spent in between rounds with their peers. The tournament organisers will do their best to ensure that the tournament runs smoothly and everything is provided to enable the players to get as much enjoyment as possible from the event, and likewise the players should do their utmost to hold up their end of the bargain. Most important of all, enjoy yourself!
The Officials
The officials for the tournament are 100% committed to ensuring that your experience is the best it can possibly be. Our job is to make sure everything runs smoothly and that you can concentrate solely on your task at hand and that is to play the best you can for 2 days against likeminded people that share your love of the Blood Bowl hobby. We would like to state we are looking forward to the event as much as the players and pledge to do our best to run the event as smoothly and professionally as possible.
