Event Rules

Team Draft:
Draft your team as per the rules in Spike issue 22

Skill Selection:
As per the Matched Play section of Spike 22, all teams will be allocated a number of Skill Points equal to their tier

• – Tier 1: 1 Skill point
• – Tier 2: 2 Skill points
• – Tier 3: 3 Skill points
• – Tier 4: 4 Skill Points

Notes:

Purchasing a Primary Skill for a player will cost 1 Skill Point. There is no limit to the number of Primary Skills a team can purchase, so long as they have Skill Points remaining, of course.

Purchasing a Secondary Skill for a player will cost 2 Skill Points. However, a team can only ever purchase a single Secondary Skill for their team, regardless of if they have enough Skill Points remaining. Such Skills are rare enough in proper Blood Bowl, let alone in Blood Bowl Sevens!

Each player can only be given a maximum of one additional Skill, though there is no limit to the number of times a particular Skill can be chosen. The only exception to this is when it comes to Elite Skills, where only a maximum of two extra Elite Skills (of any combination) can be taken in a Matched Play roster.

It's important to note that, unlike in League Play, Skills purchased for players in Matched Play do not add to a player's Current Value and as a result, the team's value will not increase.

Scoring:
Coaches are ranked according to the number of Tournament Points they have. Tiebreakers are as followed:

• Bonus Points > TD Difference > TD’s > Casualties

Coaches will earn 3 Tournament Points for a win, 1 Tournament Point for a draw,  0 Tournament Points for a loss, and the following bonus points (used as first tiebreaker):

• Scoring 3 or more touchdowns – 1 Bonus Point
• Conceding 0 touchdowns – 1 Bonus Point
• Inflicting 3 or more Casualties (all casualties count regardless of the source, if its in your Dead and Injured box your opponent scores it!) – 1 Bonus Point

Halloween Twist!

The stadiums of the EYBBL have seen much violence, and once a year it is said the crowd from previous matches rise from the pitch...eager to join in the fun!

Each table will have a cauldron of pumpkins, each of which either gives you a trick, or a treat!
