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.

Undead, Necromantic and Nurgle teams are allowed to apply the Masters of Undeath and Plague Ridden special rules. Players added to a team roster through a game as a result 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 after 11 regular players have already been rostered.

Primary and Secondary skills cost one skill only, aldough the limitations for Secondary skills depending on Tier.
All skill stacks must be with Primary Skills.

Some skills stacks will have an additional cost:

If the player has one of the skills as default and you add the other mentioned on this combo list, the coach won’t need to pay the the additional cost.

TIME & CLOCK
Each round will have the duration of 2h15. The clock for each round will be shown on a big screen.
Also, it is mandatory that each game of the round will be followed by a chessclocks, either by app ou physical one owned by the coaches: each coach will divide the total and will dispose of 1h, 7m and 30s to play his turns/actions.
A coach will be unable to do any voluntary actions if he runs out of time in the pool – ex.: cannot try to intercept a pass, but still will roll armour and injury rolls if an opposing player is knocked down.
If a player runs out of time in the pool, his opponent may not share his time!
The round ends when the time on the big screen ends. After that, any roll will not be considered and the score will be the one at the moment of the end of the round.
If, by any chance, the time on the chessclock exceeds the time on the big screen, the latter will prevail: to keep the track of time faithfully, it is recommended that the chessclock never stops, even in the case of referee intervention. Thus, it is also recommended for the coaches to check the time shown on the big screen.
After the pairings are drawn, if both coaches are ready, they can make the pre-match rolls and deploys before the clock starts. Nonetheless, it’s not allowed to start the first turn – or Blitz! – before the beginning of the round.
In an eventual delay of a coach to the table, the time of the delay will be subtracted to his time pool.
FAIR PLAY
Each coach must use the dices offered at the tournament, and dices placed at each table by the tournament organization.
Coaches must share dices if required by either coach.
Dices whose base isn’t totally settled are considered “cocked” and must be re-rolled.
Any player dropping out from rounds will not be eligible for prizes.
Any player conceding a match without proper cause will be banned from this event and it’s further editions.
MINIATURES & PAINT
Painted miniatures are not mandatory (aldough we urge you to do so).
The miniatures don’t have to be original Games Workshop. However, the miniatures must have an approximate scale, representative for the roster’s race and players (ie a Norse thrower must look like a Norse thrower), not allusive to other themes other than fantasy football and it’s positional should be easily distinguishable.
If you’re struggling your converted team’s positionals we suggest you to use the following colour coded bases:
Grey / none: Lineman
Red: Blitzer
Green: Blocker
White: Thrower
Yellow: Catcher, Runner
If your opponent can’t easily recognise the different player types on your team, you must let him mark them somehow (without damaging the miniatures or paint job, of course). This could be with bottle caps or coloured rings for example.
SKILL RINGS
All miniatures with additional skills must be identified. Skill rings are a standard solution, if you can’t bring them, the event will borrow you some – please ask for them at the check in and try to arrive early!
Colour scheme bellow:
Blue – Block
Yellow – Dodge
Green – Guard
Red – Mighty Blow
Orange – Tackle
White – Wrestle
Pink – Sure Hands
Purple – Frenzy
Other – any different skill from the above, warn your opponent
