Information |

A brash new undead pro elf team, the Zandri Dust, took FUMBBL's Khemri Premier League by surprise and made the semifinals last season. But their ranks are a little thinned, so their priests of Nagash have set up a Sevens tournament where the fallen can serve as new recruits, their bodies jumping right out of the sand reborn anew and ready to play for the Zandri Dust.
Blood Bowl Sevens is a shorter, quicker version of the sport played on a smaller pitch by players who weren’t quite good enough to make it into the big leagues.
Purely for fluff purposes, the rather colorful history of the Zandri Dust can be found here: https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=1000984. Don't drink and drive.
We will be using the official Second Season 7s rules from the 2021 Death Zone, as well as that manual's pricing for inducements (including desperate measures if someone wants to purchase one or more of them).
IN SHORT:
- All Blood Bowl 2020 races & rosters available from the Second Season Rulebook, Teams of Legend pdf, as well as the NAF-approved rosters for Khorne and Slaan. No 2016 rosters
are available.
- No star players are allowed
- 600,000 gp to spend on your team
- You must hire 7 and up to 11 players, and only 4 non-linemen types allowed
- Re-rolls cost double (they’re amateurs)
- Inducements must be bought at team creation, at the pricing provided in the Death Zone manual. Desperate measures may also be rostered as an inducement, but a new roll on the table will be required before each game. No wizards, infamous coaching staff, or other inducements not listed in the Sevens Rules may be induced (see Death Zone p.93 for a full list of allowed inducements).
SKILLS:
- Each team is allowed to give some players additional skills within the restrictions below.
- Each team chooses 1 player to be the Team Captain - they gain the Leader skill. The Team Captain can swap the Leader skill for any primary skill if they so choose.
- Teams will have a number of additional skills based on the Team Tier ratings.
- No player can be given more than 1 additional skill as discussed below (this includes the Team Captain, who already has his or her additional skill)
- Tier 1: 1 skill, must be a primary
- Tier 2: 2 skills, up to 1 of which may be a secondary.
- Tier 3 (Includes Lizards with no Saurus, Black Orcs with no Black Orcs and Underworld with no Skaven): 3 skills, up to 2 of which may be a secondary.
Weather table: As this tournament is taking place in the hot, arid deserts of the Khemri, the following weather table will be used for all tournament games:
2-3 Sweltering Heat. It is so hot that some players collapse from heat exhaustion. Roll a d6 for each player on the field after a touchdown is scored or when a half ends. On a roll of 1, the player collapses. Place him in the reserve box of the dugout. He may not take part in the next kick-off but will be available for the drive after that.
4-5 Very Sunny - A glorious day, but the blinding sunshine causes a -1 modifier on all attempts to pass the ball.
6-10 - Nice: Perfect Blood Bowl Weather.
11 Strong Winds - Immediately roll randomly on the scatter template to determine wind direction.
the result is the direction of the strong wind.
All Kick-Offs, Inaccurate or Wildly Inaccurate Passes will scatter an additional d6 squares in this direction before the normal scatter rolsl are made.
12 Sand Storm - The shifting sands have been stirred up into a violent sandstorm and visibility is severely affected. No passes may be attempted and rushing (old GFI's) are prohibited. Further, the referee has taken sanctuary from the storm and will not send anyone off.
Zandri Dust KPL Recruitment Drive: The Zandri Dust need new recruits, so the priests of Nagash have enchanted the Sevens pitches. The first player from your team to suffer a non-regenerated casualty is raised from the dead the next turn in the square he fell in (or in your dugout if he dies at the end of the half). If the square is occupied by the ball, scatter it, if occupied by a player, scatter the skeleton. The skeleton is a "skeleton slave" from the Zandri: Nagash KPL team with the following stat line: 5227 Jump Up, Thick Skull, Regeneration (no passing stat), and can play for your team the rest of the current game before he runs off to join the Zandri Dust.
