Rules
Each Team has a sum of GP based on their tier (see below) to spend on roster creation and must hire a minimum of 11 Players.
Any GP unspent at roster creation is lost and all Teams are considered to have the same Current Team Value (CTV) for the purpose of inducements.
This is a resurrection tournament, no SPP is gained, and injuries or deaths do not carry on from one game to the next.
Players added to a Team roster mid game as a result of the Masters of Undeath or Plague Ridden special rule are removed from the roster at the end of the game and do not carry on to the next.

The weegie
Each coach should pick three players from their roster that are not star players and have not been given any additional skills, and number them 1-3. Then roll a D3 and the result of that roll is the chosen player.
That lucky model will become the weegie for your team. This homegrown hero is excited to take his first outing onto a Glasgow field.
Game 1 : Give this player the "Stab" Skill, hes showing the visiting players how its done in the backstreet bowls of Glasgow
Game 2 : Give this player the "Taunt" Skill, the famous "glesga patter" has riled his opponents right up
Game 3 : Give this player "Unchanneled Fury" one too many Bloodfasts have gone to his head by this stage and he can barely be controlled.
Note: Each skill added stacks, so by round 3 he will have stab, taunt AND Unchanneled Fury.

Skill stacking
Coaches can stack skills on a number of players dependent on their team tier. Stacking does not cost any extra skills but is limited to primary skills only.
1 Skill Stack for Tier 1-2
2 Skill Stacks for Tier 3-4
3 Skill Stacks for Tier 5-6
Star Players
11 players must be rostered before stars are added
One (1) Star Player can be rostered for Tier 3-4 teams, up to two (2) Star Players can be rostered for Tier 5-6 teams.
Star Players in couples count as two Star Players for the roster.
Every Star Player acquired costs additional Skill Points as follows:
Star player cost: 000-099k, lose 1 Skill point.
Star player cost: 100-199k, lose 2 Skill points.
Star player cost: 200-299k, lose 3 Skill points.
Star player cost: 300k-399k, lose 4 skill points.
Note: A skill point just means either a primary or secondary skill, however foregoing a secondary skill will still only count as using one point towards the star player.
Banned Star Players
Bomber Dribblesnot, Cindy Piewhislte, Count Luthor Von Drakenburg, Dribl & Drull, Estelle La Veneaux, Grak & Crumbleberry, Griff Oberwald, Hakflem Skuttlespike, H’Thark the Unstoppable, Ivan the Animal Deathshroud, Jordell Freshbreeze, Kreek Rustgouger, Maple Highgrove, Morg N Thorg, Roxanna Darknail, Skitter Stab Stab, Swift Twins, Varag Ghoulchewer, Wilhelm Chaney
If both coaches roster the same star player they can still play for both teams
All other inducements are not permitted.
All skills must be chosen and cannot be random.
A secondary skill can be replaced with a primary skill as many times as the coach wishes. For example a tier 5 team could take 9 primary skills and 1 secondary skill and this would be fine.
There is no limit or extra cost on elite skills.
Extras
BB2025 rules will be used with the following exceptions/additions
Skills package based on team tier (see above)
