Rules version:
The tournament will use the Games Workshop Blood Bowl Competition Rules Pack, available here for free: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m780049a_Blood_Bowl_Competition_Rules.pdf

Teams:
All teams in the rulebook, and the three extra teams (Underworld, Chaos Pact, and Slann) will be permitted. Rules for the extra teams can be found http://www.thenaf.net/files/NewTeams_LRB6.pdf
Teams will have 1,100,000 gold crowns to spend in the beginning of the event. Any gold not spent will be saved in the treasury for later use.
Please have two copies of your roster available. One is to be left with the organiser prior to the first game.

Team Advancement:
This tournament will be run just like a league. With two days of ‘league’ games and Sunday left over for playoffs (or just more games if we don’t get enough entrants). Therefore all the normal league rules from the rulebook, including star player points, match winnings, fan factor rolls, player death and inducement money, will be in effect.
Any winnings, and player improvement rolls, must be rolled after your game, and any skill improvements to be decided BEFORE your next game is announced.

Inducements:
All inducements in the rulebook will be permitted, including the optional card inducements (decks of cards for inducements will be available from the organiser on the day).

Players Should Bring:
Please not that all players should bring along their own pitches, dugouts, block dice, and templates along with their teams.
PLAYERS MUST BE WILLING TO SHARE THEIR DICE IF THEIR OPPONENT REQUESTS IT

Tournament Points:
Points are awarded as follows:
3 points for a win
1 point for a draw
0 points for a loss
Touchdowns and casualty points will be recorded, and used as a tie breaker if some teams are on level points.
