The ICON Blood Bowl tournament is intended to be a little bit different to other tournaments. As is befitting of an event at ICON, there is a higher degree of randomness thrown in with Star Players and Special Play cards being available. So be prepared for some unusual and crazy events to happen in your games.
ENTRY FEES
Entry fee will be R50
TOURNAMENT RULES:
Team creation:
Coaches have 1300000gp with which to create their teams. Teams must have at least 11 players.
Star Players may be purchased – but if 2 teams face one another with the same SP then that SP does not play for either team in that game.
General:
Teams reset after each game so injuries and deaths do not cary over between games.
Special Play Cards:
Before each game both coaches must draw 1 random card from the Miscellaneous Mayhem deck and 1 random card from the Random Events deck. Both coaches use the same deck and the player who won Fame picks first.
Skills:
Skills can be bought for players on your team before the start of the tournament at the following costs below. Players can only get 1 skill upgrade each. Any number of players are allowed to be upgraded.
+20,000 New Skill
+40,000 Skills that can only be taken on a double

TOURNAMENT SCORING:
The tournament will be scored using the Swiss system, with coaches being matched according to their ranking in the tournament. Teams are ranked first by tournament points, then by TD difference, then by Casualty difference.
Points are earned for each game played as follows:
Points: Win = 5 / Draw = 3 / Lost = 1
Bonus points: 3 TDs = +1 OR 3 Cas = +1 (can't claim both)
Tournament bonus point: Printed roster +1 / Painted team +1
MATCH TIMING:
Games must be played within 2 hours, no play will be allowed after the cut-off time. After an hour of play a general notice will be given that you should be starting your second half. If you have not started the second half yet please speed up your play. It is recommended that all players use the 4 minute per turn rule - there are several apps that can time this, I recommend Game Time on the iPhone.
