Tournament Rules

Ordo Bowl III: All Araby Derby is a two-day, resurrection style Blood Bowl tournament, swiss style. First games will be determined randomly, with the remaining games determined based on tournament points. For the first round only, we will do our best to pair players off against members that are outside of their home club. The tournament will run six total matches, with four games on Saturday, and two on Sunday.

What to bring:

  • Painted and based team with suitable models; a fully painted and based team is mandatory. Bringing an incomplete team will disqualify you from any and all awards, including the Ordo Bowl III championship. It's easy; bring a painted team! You are not required to paint your own team, just bring a painted and based team to play with.
  • Skill rings or another appropriate way to identify skills/positions (mandatory)
  • Block dice
  • D6’s, D8, D12/16/20
  • 3 copies of your team roster including skill purchases and inducements
  • Re-roll, turn and score markers

Pitch and dugouts will be provided

Tournament Rules:

  • Standard NAF Rules 2017 with the following exceptions:
    • NO Wizards
    • NO standard special play cards
    • Teams will resurrect at the end of each games; no SPPs, injuries or any roster changes carry over between games
    • Illegal Procedure will not be enforced
    • Four minute time limit can be enforced by opponent
      • NOTE: if the teams are not starting the second half by one hour and twenty minutes into the round, a four minute timer becomes mandatory for both players
    • Games will have a maximum length of two hours and thirty minutes
    • Event organizers will announce regular time checks as a courtesy to players
    • Players must agree on cocked die rules, and sharing dice at the start of the match (Ordo Bowl strongly encourages players to use one set of dice for the entire match)
    • If there are any disagreements or rules disputes, tournament directors will be standing by to assist
    • Teams with the ability to raise killed players will not be allowed to keep raised player on their roster past the game in which they are raised
    • NO OVERTIME ALLOWED

Team building:

  • Players may choose from all 26 NAF Sanctioned Teams:
    • Human & Orc (Rules found in the 2016 Blood Bowl boxed set)
    • Dark Elf, Dwarf, Elf Union, High Elf, Nurgle, Skaven & Wood Elf (Rules found in the Death Zone: Season One gaming supplement)
    • Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Chaos Renegades, Chaos Chosen, Goblin, Halfling, Khemri Tomb Kings, Lizardmen, Norse, Necromantic Horror, Ogre, Shambling Undead, Underworld Denizens & Vampire (Rules found in the Blood Bowl Teams of Legend document)

    • Daemons of Khorne, Bretonnians
  • Teams get 1,200,000 gold pieces to construct their roster
    • Star players can be purchased as part of a roster;
    • A star player can be your 11th player
    • A maximum of 2 star players may be taken (Brick Farth & Grotty count as 1 star player, but will fill 2 roster spots as per rules)
      • In the case that opposing teams hire the same star, both teams will be allowed to use the player
      • Please Note only Stars listed in the NAF document and found in any of the Spike! Journals will be allowed for the tournament
  • Teams must be built with a minimum of 11 players
  • Teams can purchase re-rolls, apothecaries (if allowed), coaches, cheerleaders & fan factor
  • Teams may also include bribes as part of the roster as per the standard inducement cost
  • The only inducements available for purchase are star players (limit two; Brikfarth & Grotty and the Hightower twins count as one star player spot for this purpose; Grak & Crumbleberry, Black Gobbo, White Dwarf, and Josef Bugman are not allowed for purchase), Bloodwessier Babes, Master Chef (Only for Halflings), and Bribes.
  • Skill Packs; choose one of the following packs for your team for the entirety of the event; you may only give a player one skill in addition to what they already are equipped with, and no skill may be acquired via skill pack more than twice (i..e., if you are playing dwarfs several players come with tackle, but you can still use your preferred skill pack to apply tackle to one or two players that do not start with that skill):
    • A) Six normal skills
    • B) Four normal & 1 double skill(s)
    • C) Two normal and Two double skills

Tournament Scoring:

  • Win: three points
  • Loss: zero points
  • Tie: one points

Tie-breakers: The first tie-breaker will be head to head record; the second tie-breaker winning percentage (victories divided by total games); the final tie-breaker will be Favorite Opponent voting, with preference given to the player with the most Favorite Opponent pins at the end of the event

Stunty Cup:

  • Stunty teams will play for their own cup while still participating in the main tournament
  • Stunty teams include Goblins, Halflings, Lizardman (only when team build is all Skinks or plus a Kroxigor), Ogres and Underworld teams (without Skaven players).
  • Star players can be added to a Stunty team without disqualifying them from the Stunty Cup.
  • The top two Stunty teams will be matched up in round six, and the winner will be the Stunty Cup champion, regardless of tournament points.

Nikk Three-horn recommends Ordo Bowl, and wants to see you at the All Araby Derby! This two-day, six game tournament takes place in August in Vancouver, Washington USA, just north of Portland, Oregon USA. The first forty participants will receive a commemorative Tut N. Khuman Star Player model, which an be used as Frank N. Stein, Ramtut...any big Undead player. Tut N. Khamun was sculpted by Stavros Zouliatis, the sculptor of the Iron Golems/Two Drunk Flings Halfling team. All players will receive custom event dice, special Ordo Bowl one-pager, special play cards, and even more!

In between rounds, players will have the ability to compete for tie-breaker points by playing Blitz Bowl, and Blood Bowl Kahoot! trivia, as always.

@Weav Is this at WOW or in Vancouver? The WOW one interests me, but I can't figure out if it's a typo or if you are talking about two events. 

PS: Do you have to be Canadian to win Best Canadian?

Weav.  Can you clarify “and no skill may be acquired via skill pack more than twice (i..e., if you are playing dwarfs several players come with tackle, but you can still use your preferred skill pack to apply tackle to one or two players that do not start with that skill):“. The first half of this seems to imply that you can’t put two tackle skills on your team via skill pack and the second half seems to imply that you cam.

Apologies for the confusion. In the example, you CAN add Tackle to two players.
