Format
This is a resurrection Blood Bowl 7s event where any injuries in each game will be ignored for the start of the following match. Other than their starting skills (see below) players do not gain skills between rounds and cannot be lured away by the big leagues.
The competition will be over 3 matches, each one lasting an hour. After 60 minutes, games will be called so both coaches will need to be quick with their turns, we cannot wait for slow coaches! The schedule will be as follows -
• 6:00pm-6:30pm arrive and register
• 6:30pm-7:30pm Round 1
• 7:30pm-8:30pm Round 2
• 8:30pm-9:30pm Round 3
• 9:30pm-10:00pm Awards
The first round will be random draw and rounds 2 and 3 swiss.
Scoring
• 30 points - Win
• 10 points – Draw
• 0 points – Lose
• 1 point – per touchdown scored up to a maximum of 3
• 1 point – per casualty inflicted up to a maximum of 3
• 1 point – Keeping a clean sheet by conceding 0 touchdowns
If at the end of the night there is a tie then the tie breakers will be as follows –
• Strength of Schedule
• Touchdown & Casualty difference
• Lowest tier wins
Team Building
Coaches have 600k to spend on their team and they must have a minimum of 7 players and a maximum off 11. A maximum of 4 positional players may be purchased, the remainder must be linemen (the player that makes up the 0-12 or 0-16 position). As a further restriction, the maximum you can hire of the same positional is 2. So, for example, a human team may hire 2 Blitzers, not 4.
When your team is complete, you can spend money on backroom staff and inducements. Only the following are available
• 20k 0-6 Cheerleaders each *
• 20k 0-3 Assistant coaches each *
• Rerolls are double their normal cost (a human team for example would pay 100k for a reroll and not 50k) *
• 80k 0-1 Apothecary *
• 20k 0-6 Dedicated Fans *
• 50k 0-2 Bloodweiser Kegs
• 50k / 100k 0-3 Bribes
• 100k 0-1 Plague Doctor / Mortuary Assistant
• 100k / 300k Halfling Master Chef
* please note the higher than usual costs when compared to regular BB.
Skills
The skills your team get are dictated by the tier your team is in. We will use the official tiers from the latest FAQ. They don’t necessarily fit BB7s quite so well, but they are a good place to start and then we can adjust them throughout the year depending upon results.
Tier 1 – 0 skills . . . . you guys are already good!
Tier 2 – 1 primary skill
Tier 3 – 2 primary skills **
Coaches may take any skill other than Leader and Pro. Having rerolls is highly discouraged in BB7s as its an amateur game and is a lot more dependent upon the fickle dice.
** Underworld Denizens, Black Orcs or Lizardmen can count as a stunty tier 3 team if they take all stunty players and a big guy. Any strength 3 or 4 players removes their stunty and tier 3 access
Sanctuary Series
This is the 3rd in a series of 6 tournaments over a 12 month period. Your performance at each event will be added together and all attending coaches will be ranked using their best 4 results. At the end of the 6 events a winner will be announced.
However, in order to qualify for the Sanctuary Series title, you must follow a few rules. This is basically to stop someone Skaven power gaming themselves to victory tournament after tournament.
• You must play teams from at least 2 different tiers
• You cannot use the same team more than twice
For coaches without many teams, the organisers have plenty you can borrow, please get in touch before the event to borrow one.
You don’t have to take part in the Sanctuary Series. You can still play all 6 events with Skaven if you wish, but you just won’t earn any ranking points after your first 2 appearances with Skaven.
007 License to Thrill
The Blood Bowl world is one of subterfuge and espionage. Teams frequently hire spies to steal cash or secret play books from the opposition, nobble enemy players before a big game or lure match officials in a honey trap. Although there are many spies for hire out there, one man stands head and shoulders above all others . . . . James ‘the Loom’ Band.
At 007 License to Thrill, each round one of your players will take on an aspect the ‘the Loom’ and take it onto the pitch. All coaches will have a card with the 3 aspects on. At the start of each game, they must randomly select a player and an aspect of James Band, applying the effect for the game. As they apply the Band aspect, for that game only, they lose all of their own skills and traits. Their stat line remains unaffected.
Any aspect can only be used once, so in game 2 you must roll between the 2 remaining aspects. For game 3, you must use the last aspect. For each one, remember to always pick a random player on your team.
Aspect 1 – The Assassin
One aspect of James Bands shadowy employment is what’s known in the business as wet work. The quiet crippling or killing of the opposition. Death from the shadows, beware . . . .
Skills – for this game only gain the Stab, Multiple Block and Shadowing skills
Aspect 2 – The Spy
All operatives are highly skilled thieves. They may be called to sneak into the most unlikely of places and steal enemy team plans of operations to give your team an edge. Highly skilled spies go where you least expect them.
Skills – On the Ball, Side Step, Strip Ball
Aspect 3 – The Seducer
Sometimes agents are required to win influence in other ways. Pursuing a target relentlessly, playing on their emotions and once caught in their web, never letting them get away!
Skills – Tentacles, Hypnotic Gaze, Arm Bar
Looking the part
In addition, anyone who turns up dressed in a dinner jacket (or wearing a Bond girl outfit) on the night will get a single use reroll token.
Cost
The cost of each tournament is £7. Of that £5 will cover table hire at the venue and the remaining £2 will be spent on certificates and prizes for the winner. The prize pool will therefore be pretty small, don’t expect there to be boundless of piles of glittering prizes. |
