Hey there Chris,
Why the hate on OWA?
Are Snotlings allowed?
Hey Will, I have decided to retract this part of the rules and allow OWA. My initial thought to having them in the tournie was that they are an abomination that should be destroyed with fire. Then I realized that my disgust was only a manifestation of my own pathetic insecurities and after a good cry I decided to reverse course. Feel free to take them if you would like 🙂
And yes, we’ll allow snots. Wouldn’t it be crazy if they won it all? LOL
That’s amazing response. Can’t wait to see everyone there!
Regarding the “Disposable” skill … https://www.thenaf.net/2019/12/the-ogre-spike-and-naf-tournaments/
Riotous Rookies can be found here … https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/XVAuwdNjSRLEEf6A.jpg
Thanks, but according to the first one Inducement phase isn’t used which means Riotous Rookies then ALSO does not occur then doesn’t it?
It would be up to the TO but certain inducements are allowed as part of your team building such as Halfling Master Chef, Bribes and Wizards. It would be up to the TO to allow Riotous Rookies for Ogre and Snotling teams (if I were the TO, I would allow it, LOL as it makes these teams more fun and more competitive). I hope this helps …
I’m inclined to allow it. It’s all about getting together, having fun, and donating to a good cause anyway. As long as the rule is endorsed by the NAF then I am fine with it. I say this as someone who has basically zero experience with all the new Spike Magazines and such though, so I will also be relying on the advice of James and Jason on these calls.
Woot woot Snots’ll be swarming the field!
So for purchasing, the extra 250 can be used on any spike inducements too like the famous coaches and the wizards specific to the races?
Great question! Yes, as long as the rule in question has been adopted by the NAF I am all for it.
To clarify, I can only spend up to 250k on skills? If, say, a fling team didn’t spend the 1100k on the team I can’t use the rest on skill ups?
Thanks for the question Andrew. Yes, one can only spend up to 250k on skills. the 1100k is for players, rerolls, cheerleaders, apothecary, etc. The 250k can be used on skills in addition to all the previously listed staff and such.
Trophies have been ordered. There will be 6 available to win: Tournament Champion, Stunty Cup Champion, Most TDs, Most CAS, Best Defense & Most Charitable Donor. Each trophy sports a golden turkey, but the Charitable Donor trophy will have a golden cornucopia!
AWESOME!!!
As well as the normal inducements, will the fling chef be available?
MOST DEFINITELY!!!
Just a quick question on making a team: 1.1 to build the team and then “an additional 250k on skills, extra players, coaches, etc. (NO STAT UPGRADES)”. Normally a team is not “built” with star players (like if I was making one for a league).
Do I use the 1.1 to buy star players?
Or can I use both 1.1 and the 250 for star players?
Or can I ONLY purchase star players with the 250?
Hello Josh, thank you for the opportunity to clarify this. I have received many questions like this one and I will try my best to answer them here.
The 1.1 can only be used on the initial team build. The 250k can be used on skills in addition to the initial team build. So as an example: if you wanted to purchase a star player worth 350k and you had already spent 1mil from your initial team build money, you would use the remaining 100k from the initial build and could then use the 250k to cover the remaining cost. Of course in this scenario there is no money left over to purchase skills.
If you had already spent the 1.1mil exactly on your initial team and then wished to purchase a star player worth 160k, you could do this as well. This would leave 90k of that additional money left for skills or the like.
Basically 1.1 million gold is apportioned for players, rerolls, apothecaries, cheerleaders, coaches and Stars…250k is then added that can be used for more of these things, or to purchase skills.
I hope these make sense, if you would like me to clarify further I would be happy to do so. Just let me know 🙂
-Chris
Florida man?!!? Whyyyyyy do big guys have to pay double on skills???
You are objectively better at this game and have been playing longer. I dont mean to imply I know more or whatever BUT..
With amount of skills taken limited, and with limits of skills taken limited AAAAND with doubles already costing more than normals (as it should be).
What do you believe would happen if skills did not cost double on big guys?
-openly biased khemri player
Hello Biscotti, thank you for your candor.
Khemri is without a doubt the most overpowered and over utilized team in the game. Their speed, access to a wide variety of player types, and their ability handle the ball particularly in the passing game make them the #1 team overall. I only wish I could nerf them more. Playing as Khemri against any other team is akin to Mike Tyson punching a toddler. Is it any wonder that GW is unwilling to print rules for such a ridiculously powerful team? It is a fact that this review of Khemri is objective and shared by the vast majority of coaches. I thank you for your quick conversion to this prescribed way of thinking and the inevitable change that will occur in you when you play a more balanced team than Khemri.
Good day
😉
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Haha its all true
Ok so I’m throwing a roster together.
Can you clarify how much normal skills cost and how much double skill cost on big guys?
Thank you florida man for putting this on
Thank you for coming. In all seriousness, it is unfortunate that Tomb Guardians count as big guys. That goes equally for Undead and Chaos Pact. The rules for this event are essentially a copy of the rules from the first Florida Man tournament, and have already submitted the rules to the NAF for approval.
To clarify exact costs for Big Guy skills:
Stunty Team Normal: 20k
Stunty Team Double: 30k
Non-Stunty Normal: 40k
Non-Stunty Double: 60k
Stunty teams are Ogres, Goblins, Halflings, Lizardmen No Saurus, Underworld No Rats, and Snotlings.
Hope this helps.
Trophies have arrived and they are glorious!

-Chris
*Leader Hobgoblin is actually 70k…
And I know donation bonuses will come up so I should clarify here:
Each new level of donation will negate the previous level, so…
If someone brings 5 items to donate they receive +1 FF.
If someone brings 10 items they receive +2 FF, not 2 +1 from the previous donation level. +2 TOTAL
If someone brings 20 items they receive +1 FAME, but their +FF from the previous levels disappears.
Yes, this technically gives someone with a lower donation total a better chance to match your FAME, but you already have FAME so, meh. It’s going to be a fun time playing Blood Bowl, having a beer and donating to a good cause anyway. Looking forward to it everyone!
Whats the definition of big guy for the tournament? We’re including mummies. How about bull centaurs. They look pretty big to me. I mean heck its a tier 1 team. They probably SHOULD be.
Yeah! Let’s have 2 firsts..
First 11s to nerf big guys and first time making bull centaurs big guys
In answer to your question about what constitutes a big guy for the tournament rules, I will be defining it as any player STR 5 or above. If you have any more questions please feel free to write me at cnelson37@liberty.edu
Remember, Big Guys on Stunty teams are not subject to the double cost that the ones on Non-Stunty teams are. I think Ogres in particular could be particularly competitive in this tournie.
Thank you for the question,
Chris
Do any attendees in the JAX/St. Augustine area have folding tables?
We are expecting a pretty significant turnout and would like to make sure we are covered under any possible circumstances.
Right me back here or at cnelson37@liberty.edu if you have access to any additional portable playing surfaces.
Thanks
Update: We are NAF approved 🙂
Fantastic!!!
PayPal for the tournament is plutos-a-planet@hotmail.com.
I have had two people send me entry already but to my other email which is not set up for PayPal. Please share this as I am not on Facebook to let people know.
I will contact those two people to make sure their entry is counted.
Thank you,
Chris
Will the Piling On skill require re-roll to use?
Piling On will not require a re-roll to use. Let the Elbow Drops commence!
Chris,
One last question: This says Bribes at 50K only for Goblins. Snotlings have the ability too (Sneaky Gits). Do they get their 50K bribes as well?
Hey there, thanks for the question. I am not educated on snotlings at all, so my inclination is to agree. I will say this, if they have this ability then I don’t see why not. James can you weigh in on this?
I have reached out to Phil over at the NAF to get clarification and I will let you know what I find.
Are slave giants allowed for this tournament?
