The Holmfirth Gaming Centre in association with WYBBL presents..
Orktober Iron Cup 3
General Information
Orktober Iron Cup II will be held on Sunday 9th October 2022 at Holmfirth Gaming Centre, 1 Miry Ln, New Mill, Thongsbridge, Holmfirth HD9 7HP. The venue has free parking, food is provided as part of the ticket price and additional drinks and snacks are available to purchase on site.
Rules
In time honoured tradition of the Yorkshire One Day World Cup we will be using the ruleset from an upcoming major tournament but as a single coach rather than squad based format. For Orktober Iron Cup this year we will be using the Euros Rules set.
http://www.eurobowl.eu/2022/default.asp?p=2
Note that in line with the Euros ruleset we are NOT using any rule releases (including Team updates, new Teams, star Players, etc.) published after 12th December 2021. Regarding FAQs and errata we will likewise follow the Eurobowl lead.
Really important note. This means Teams of Legend Norse NOT spike 14 Norse. The relevant ToL is linked below.
Game timings will be as follows:
10:00 to 10:15 Registration
10:15 to 12:30 Game One
12:30 to 13:30 Lunch
13:30 to 15:45 Game Two
15:45 to 16:00 Break
16:00 to 18:15 Game Three
18:15 to 18:45 Awards and close
Please note that in order to run the event to time, we may not be able to include anyone that arrives after the registration period has closed in the initial round one draw.
Etiquette
Blood bowl is a battle of skill and luck between you and your opponent. RULES quick reference guides are useful and encouraged. Play books that tell you HOW to set up, attempt a one turn touch down etc. are not!
We may not be able to include anyone that arrives after the registration period has closed in the initial round one draw. Previously the head ref has provided emergency spare man cover but we feel we need at least one dedicated ref so we won’t do this here.
Please don’t distract the top table(s) whilst they are playing the game, especially if you have a vested interest in a particular outcome!

Rules
Orktober Iron Cup will be using current (Second Season) rules and NAF approved additions as follows.
• Blood Bowl Second Season Rulebook (SSRB)
• Teams of Legend from Warhammer Community Page. Note this is an older Teams of Legend and contains what we will refer to as ToL Norse which is the version that is permitted in this tournament. We have linked this below
• NAF Rules for Tournaments (including Slann teams)
• Star players from Spike! Magazines editions 11-13 (NOT 14 or later)
• Note that the rules for Exhibition Play are being used (Second Season Rulebook pages 101-103)
• 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.
• Undead, Necromantic and Nurgle teams may gain an additional player as per the relevant “Masters of Undeath” or “Plague Ridden” rules but any players gained this way do not carry over to subsequent matches
• The ref team will be on hand to ensure rounds run to time and will advise of time remaining periodically throughout each round.
• Each player on your roster must be represented by an appropriate painted miniature. You do not need to have miniatures for coaching staff but of course may do so if you wish.
Rosters and team building
Please see the Eurobowl rules http://www.eurobowl.eu/2022/default.asp?p=2
Note that again only certain stars are permitted as per the Euros rule pack
Scoring and tiebreakers
These will be handled as per the “Score” and “Tiebreakers” section of the Eurobowl Rules
Awards
Subject to sufficient sign ups we aim to give awards in the following categories
• Overall Winner
• Most CAS
• Most TDs
• Stunty Cup (highest placing stunty team)
• Wooden Spoon (last place)
Things To Bring With You
• A painted team.
• Your Blood Bowl board.
• Dice.
• Templates.
• Three roster sheets (one for the head ref, one for yourself and one for your opponent).
Rules clarifications.
Note some rules/interpretations are currently under active discussion, however the ref team would like to make their interpretation and intent on the following clear.
SSRB Page 27 “Falling Over” Please read "If a player Falls Over, a turnover is caused" as "If a player *on the active team* falls over, a turnover is caused". Reasoning: Under some very specific circumstances (e.g. on the ball skill) you may be able to move during your opponent’s turn. Having a player from the inactive team fall over will not cause a turnover in this way.
SSRB Page 130 & 133 "Two for One" (Grak and Crumbleberry/Swift Twins). This is not explicitly clarified but if both halves of a "Two for One" partnership become available again (e.g. recovery from KO) they will revert to their standard Loner 4+ trait. (note that you cannot use an apothecary on a star and there are currently no stars with this ability that can regenerate).
