Stunty Cup*

* The Stunty Cup will take a coach’s top 3 scores with any of the stunty teams. For clarification, these are Goblins, Gnomes, Halflings, Ogres and Snotlings. Any new team released by GW and officially placed in Tier 3 will likely count as Stunty, although this is at the TSO’s discretion.

All series will run from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026. 

A series will be either:

Open, i.e. TOs can apply to put an event in the series any time up until 8 weeks prior to the event, with all events needing to be submitted within 3 months of the end of the series.

Structured i.e. all events will be declared in advance of the tournament series starting, although not all details need to be finalised.

This will be at the TSOs discretion. No event can be added retrospectively. 

Note: where anything is indicated below as at the discretion of a TSO, there may be guidance on the website as to the stance of each series on these issues. 

Any TOs are welcome to put forward events to run as part of the series. Each series will have its own deadlines for submitting events to be part of the series. 

The exact date does not need to be confirmed when requesting an event to run in the series, although obviously it will assist in the series admin if dates are finalised as early as possible. 

Each individual tournament series will decide whether to include a minimum capacity for events that are applying. 

If an event is on the borders of 2 tournament series, then the relevant TSOs may discuss between themselves which series the event best fits into. 

Note: NAF rules only allow each event to be in one Regional Tournament Series. 

Some series may have limited on how many events a TO/venue may enter into the Tournament Series.

No series may have 2 events on the same day. It is at the TSO’s discretion about whether a series will have 2 events on the same weekend (i.e. one event on Saturday and one event on Sunday), although the default position is that this will not be permitted. 

All series will allow BloodBowl 2020/Season 2 (or Season 3 if/when it is released)  events to be part of the series. Variant events may be allowed but this is at the discretion of each TSO.

We expect Tournament Organisers to:

• To have each event submitted for NAF approval ASAP.

• Advise the TSO as and when the date and venue is finalised so that the website and other locations can be updated. .

• To provide the TSO with full details of final standings as well as either races used or at a minimum identifying which coaches played a stunty race within 1 week of the event concluding. The TSO will be able to discuss the format of this information with you. 

• To include that the event is part of the relevant series when advertising it

• To be awesome to each other (eg promote other events, encourage attendance at other events etc).

• To upload results to the NAF in a timely manner. 

• To let the TSO know asap if there are any issues.

If a TO has not met all of these expectations, the TSO has the right to exclude their events from the tournament series in future years.

- Stunty cup

* The stunty cup will take a coach’s top 3 scores with any of the stunty teams. For clarification, these are goblins, gnomes, halflings, ogres and snotlings. Any new team released by GW and officially placed in tier 3 will likely count, although this is at the TSO’s discretion.

In order to be eligible for any of the awards, a coach must have competed in a minimum of three events in the series. The scores used to form a coaches series score will be their three best scores. To win the stunty cup, a coach doesn’t need to have 3 qualifying stunty scores. 

Points will be awarded with the 1st placed coach receiving 16 points or the number of entrants plus 1, whichever is lower. Each place below this gets 1 point less (e.g. 2nd place 14 points, 3rd place 13 points) down to 15th place which receives 2 points. All coaches thereafter receive 1 point. 

There is an additional point for every 10 coaches below you (i.e. in larger tournaments you will get additional points for a top 10 finish, and lower placings will also receive points). These additional points are capped at 5, making the maximum score achievable in any one event 21 points prior to modifiers. 

Note: Whatever tiebreakers are used in each event will determine the final finishing position used to calculate points awarded.

For all BloodBowl 11s events, after the points have been calculated a multiplier of 1.x will be applied to scores where x is the number of games in the tournament. A 3 game tournament will have a multiple of 1.3, a 6 game tournament will have a multiplier of 1.6 and so on.

As an example, someone finishes 3rd out of 26 in a 3 game tournament. Their score would be 13 points for the third place finish, with an additional 2 points for there being 23 coaches below them. These 15 points are then multiplied by 1.3, giving a score of 19.5 points. 

No multiplier will apply for variant events (e.g. Sevens, Dungeonbowl). 

Whilst a team event is exactly that, a team event - the Tournament Series is an individual event. Therefore, only individual scores from team events will be taken towards the Tournament Series points and not the team finishing position. 

It is at the discretion of each TSO as to whether Team Tournaments will be included in the series or not. 

To differentiate between coaches on the same number of points, the following tiebreakers will be used:

1. Number of tournaments won

2. Best score

3. Second best score

4. Third best score

5. Total tournaments attended

6. Coin toss
