Rules
We will be using the NAF Tournament Rules for 2024. Teams will have 1,250,000 gp to buy players, team goods, star players, and inducements. If both teams have the same star player, the player will play for both teams. The inducements available are star players (including those in the most recent Spike! Journal), Halfling Master Chef, bribes, Bloodweiser kegs, and riotous rookies. Wizards, special play cards, (in)famous coaches, and other inducements are not available for purchase. Teams must have 11 players before hiring any star players.
Good sportsmanship is expected from all participants. While the tournament is a competitive setting, everyone is there to have fun and that includes your opponents.
