Recommended Posts

* Name: Mindtaker Mayhem
* When: 8/27/2022
* What: a four game Blood Bowl tournament
* Where: Mindtaker Miniatures, Vancouver WA
* How (Much): $15

Mindtaker Mayhem a standard Blood Bowl Second Season Edition tournament. The first 20 participants will receive a special ‘Mind Taken’ commemorative 3D printed token for use to mark Bonehead, Really Stupid and other negative traits.

The tournament pre-game sequence steps are:
1. Roll for Fan Factor
2. Roll for weather
3. Determine (Roll/Flip) who kicks-off
Differences in Team Value are not considered, so the Prayers to Nuffle table is unused.

You are given 1,120,000 gold pieces to build your team. You may purchase players, rerolls, fan factor, coaches, and cheerleaders as normal with this money. Wizards, Journeymen, Special Play cards of any kind, Mercenaries, and the Halfling Hot Pot are not allowed. You may purchase any other inducements for your team, including Star Players (if you are including a Star Player, you must have 11 players on your team BEFORE hiring them; having 10 players plus a Star is not allowed). You can not have the same Star Player as your opponent. If both of you attempt to field the same player, then that star player has swindled you both! Neither coach may field them. Also, you cannot use Igors or Apothecaries on Star Players per the rule book.

All new star players from the Second Season Edition and subsequent Spike Journals will be allowed.  Second Season Edition has given Star Players each their own “Special Rule”.  If you have a Star Player on your roster, you are expected to explain the “Special Rule” to your opponent.

Tier 1 teams get 42 SPP to spend:
Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Human, High Elf, Lizardmen, Necromantic Horror, Norse, Orcs, Shambling Undead, Underworld Denizens, Wood Elf

Tier 2 teams get 54 SPP to spend:
Black Orc, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegade, Elven Union, Imperial Nobility, Khorne, Nurgle, Old World Alliance, Skaven, Slann, Snotlings, Tomb Kings, Vampire

Tier 3 teams get 66 SPP to spend:
Goblin, Halfling, Ogre

Primary Skills are 6 SPP / Secondary Skills are 12 SPP.  No Stat increases.  Maximum four (4) of any skill type.  You may put a second Primary skill on a player, but it counts as a Selected Primary Skill (may not put a Secondary Skill and Primary on one player – may not add skills to Star Players).  A single player with TWO Primary Skills will cost 14 SPP.

Star Players – in addition to their hiring fee – cost you an extra 12 SPP  Due to popularity and market demand… Morg, Griff and Hackflem cost 18 SPP (not 12)

Awards:
* Mindtaker Mayhem Champion (most tournament points)
* Best Defense (fewest TD’s allowed)

So I figured out how I'm getting extra money. If you give a player a skill and then fire him, it reimburses you the value with the skill, rather than the base value. Whoops.

Darn. Well, how about I delete your team and you start over?
