Weav Posted November 4 Report Posted November 4 Join the PacNW Blood Bowl community on 12/28/2024 at the SIXTH New Year's Blitz! Ordo Bowl is returning to NYB's roots, with a five-round Blitz Bowl tournament at W.O.W. (717 SE Main Portland, OR). New Year's Blitz is a CULT sanctioned minor tournament and will count towards the 2025 tournament series circuit. New Year's Blitz is $10 per coach, with proceeds going to awards and Ordo Fanaticus. Coaches will have 60 minutes for each game. It wouldn't be New Year's Blitz without some shenanigans, and this year we are adding a Blood Bowl twist (see House Rules below). New Year's Blitz will be using the full Ultimate Second Edition rules, which were released in 2024. These rules are fairly similar to the Ultimate edition released in 2022. There are a few changes, most notably the rules for Marking and the addition of new teams. See the Rules section and Teams section below for more information. Rules For the 2025 New Year's Blitz, we are adopting these rules: Coaches will use any released Blitz Bowl game board from any edition; we are not using only the Ultimate Second Edition board Coaches will use the Challenge Card deck from the same edition as the game board they are playing on Table one will always play on an Ultimate Second Edition game board and use the Ultimate Second Edition Challenge Card deck Ultimate Second Edition Marking: New rule: players must end their movement the moment they become adjacent to a standing opposing player (in previous editions a player would be able to move their full Mark allowing them to move when adjacent to an opposing player). House Rules: Players without a PA value (for example: - ) cannot take possession of the ball No Sudden Death end of match No use of End Game Challenge Cards No use of Random Events No use of Special Game Balls Pushes: when pushing a player, use Blood Bowl-style push direction. Assisting Blocks: when calculating assists as part of a Block action, use the Blood Bowl assist rules to determine the number of dice rolled, and which coach chooses the result. Teams Most released Blood Bowl teams from the Blood Bowl rulebook, Almanacs, and Spike journals up to and including Gnomes are eligible to be played in Blitz Bowl. These teams do not have official Blitz Bowl rules: Chaos Dwarfs, Chaos Renegades, High Elves, Old World Alliance, Tomb Kings, and Underworld Denizens. Coaches do not create teams; instead, Blitz Bowl has stock teams that are usually built with a single-Blood Bowl sprue, and in some cases, an additional Big Guy. So for example, a Human Blitz Bowl team has one Blitzer, one Catcher, one Thrower, and three Linemen. A Goblin Blitz Bowl team has eight Goblin Linemen and one Trained Troll.
