The local Goblins have decided to host a tournament. As with anything organized by the little goobers, things will turn out a little haphazard. The tournament will be played wherever they can find space, and with whatever equipment they can scrounge up. The better you do, the more likely you’ll be playing on a proper pitch with proper gear. If you’re one of the lower seeds? Heh. Not so much.

http://bbtm.app) for recording match results and viewing rosters. Please bring your smartphone and a charger (if needed). Wifi is available at the store.
All coaches are expected to use the tournament d6s provided throughout the tournament. Other dice (block, d8, d16, etc) can be from other manufacturers. If there are any concerns about any dice used, either coach can request that dice be shared as per the NAF Ethics Guidelines.
Dice cups, dice towers, and dice trays are encouraged to prevent dice-related miniature mishaps.
We encourage coaches to discuss before the game how they will handle cocked dice or dice that escape cups/towers/trays when rolling.
All teams should be painted to a minimum three-color standard. There may be penalties at the TO’s discretion for unpainted teams or figures.

Hobby Awards:

We will be “sharing the wealth” so if the Stunty Cup, Most TDs, or Most Casualties winner has already won another competition award, Stunty/TDs/Cas will be awarded to the next highest-ranking coach.
Special Rules:
Since Goblins aren’t known to be the most organized or reliable of creatures, any tournament they run will reflect this. Makeshift stadiums have been cobbled together and equipment has been improvised for the tourney. The better stuff has been put aside for the marquee matchups, but games lower in the rankings will have to make do with whatever they get.
Starting in round two, before any other pre-game rolls, have one coach roll a d16 to determine the quality of the stadium, rerolling any results higher than the total number of tables. If the result is higher than your table number, you will play on a standard pitch. If it is equal or lower, roll a d8 and consult the Stadium Table to determine what special rules apply to your match.
After determining the stadium quality, have the other coach roll a d16 to determine the quality of the ball, rerolling any results higher than the total number of tables. If the result is higher than your table number, you will play with a standard ball. If it is equal or lower, roll a d8 and consult the Ball Table to determine what special rules apply to your match.
