Introduction

Team Setup & General Rules

• Starting Treasury : 1,000,000

  The spiraling expenses rules in death zone season 1 will be used if a coach has a treasury over 200,000 gold after the hire and fire stage of your first game and every game thereafter.

• Re-rolls will double in price after the league starts

  This will take affect as soon as you start your first game.

• Free fan factor of 3 : Counts towards team value.

• Team names are mandatory and player names are recommended, the funnier the better (but keep it PG13…)

  If you are registering and there are at least 2 other teams already using same raceand if you have the option, please consider useing a different race. We love diversity

• To register for the League, please:

  • Register as a coach and add your team to the ‘Sebbl Open’ league on http://sebbl.bigmanstudios.co.uk.
  • Register yourself on the Forum (ideally with a similar name) https://bloodbowl.bigmanstudios.co.uk/community/

  If you need help getting set up contact a League Commissioner (Dean or Alex).

• No rostered Star Players

  Star players can however be purchased as single match inducements throughout the league, all star players included in current edition GW publications (death zone 1&2, spike magazine and the almanac). If both coaches choose the same star player, neither gets to use them and any petty cash they spent goes back in to their treasury, inducement money is wasted.

• All inducements included in Death Zone season 1 & 2 are allowed.

  You may use the rules for hiring mercenaries in Death Zone season 1.

• There are no painting requirements.

  We ask is that you use actual models (conversions and 3rd party models 100% allowed so long as they are WYSIWYG)

  No cardboard cutouts or tokens (We do have some standards!)

• All players must be numbered, either on their base or somewhere visible on the model.

• Players must bring their own dice and all the models they need to games.

  If one coach is unable to provide a board, there will be a core rulebook, templates, dugouts and mat/board at Snake Eyes Gaming Club. (To Be Confirmed.)

• Please respect the club and it's gear, make sure any mess is cleared up and anyhting used is put away safely once you are finished.

• It is your responsibility as a coach to learn your team's rules.

  It is your responsibility as a legendary coach to learn eveyone elses.

  Have a look at the forums for any help or clarifications.

• Any in game disputes should be put to a dice roll/coin flip to save time, we don't want any table flipping!

  We also want a clear set of rules to play by, please open a discussion in the forum if clarification on any rule is required.

  We are planning an FAQ section for those rules that require clarification

Skills

• Piling On:

  Piling On will be played to the DZ2 rule specification under the current rule set.

  • The player may use the skill after they have made a block as part of a Block or Blitz Action, but only if they are standing adjacent to the victim and the victim was Knocked Down.
  • You can then use a team re-roll (Loner applies) to re-roll the Armour or Injury roll.
  • If a player with the Loner skill wishes to use Piling On; roll a D6. On a roll of 1-3, the team re-roll is spent, but the player remains standing and cannot re-roll the Armour or Injury roll.
  • After Piling On, the player is placed Prone in their own square and no Armour roll is made for them.
  • This does not cause a turnover unless the Piling On player is carrying the ball.
  • Piling On cannot be used with the Stab or Chainsaw skills

• Skill bands are suggested and any skills/mutations do not need to be represented on the model (though absolutely cool if you do!).

  There will be a bag of coloured rubber bands left at the club if you need some spares.

Season Outline

• Every coach must play each other coach twice throughout the season in order to complete the league.

  You will receive 3 League points for a win, 2 for a draw and 1 for a loss.

• The winner of the league will be the coach with the highest score once all games have been played.

  In the case of a draw, the winner will be decided first on score difference (TD's for minus TD's against). If a draw persists then it will be decided on casualties!

• In the event a Coach/Team drops out of the league mid-season , referred to as the Dropee, the League Commissioners will confirm the course of action with regards to matches un-played against the coach.

  Typically this will involve a number of automatic match forfeits by the Dropee.

  For each forfeited match, the following will apply:

  1. Players affected by "Miss Next Game" or MNG status will not recover in time for the next match and retain the MNG status.
  2. Automatic "Win" by the opposition for each match against the Dropee.
  3. The opposition will gain 2D6 winnings for each match against the Dropee.
  4. The opposition will gain 2 x MVP or Most Valuable Player awards for each match against the Dropee.
     MVP's will be allocated as follows:
     • The opposition coach will choose three players from their roster (including players affected by "Miss Next Game" or MNG) and allocate number 1, 2 and 3.
     • The opposition will roll a D3 and award the MVP to the player.
     • The opposition coach will choose another three players from their roster that have not already been selected for the first MVP (including players affected by "Miss Next Game" or MNG) and allocate number 1, 2 and 3.
  5. The opposition will gain a number of TD's or Touchdowns for each match against the Dropee.
     The number of Touchdowns will typically be an average of the Touchdowns scored in previous matches played in by the Dropee.
     TD's will be allocated as follows:
     • For each allocated TD, roll a D16.
     • Journeymen and non-rostered numbers will cause a re-roll.
     • If the D16 result matches a rostered players number, that player will be awarded a single TD.
     • Players (including players affected by "Miss Next Game" or MNG) can be allocated more than one TD.

• 'Friendlies’ between teams that have already played twice are allowed.
