Organisation

1) The tournament must be open to:
 
- All 21 rosters from Games Workshop’s Competition Rules Pack Blood Bowl rules
- The 3 additional teams (Slann, Chaos Pact, Underworld) as endorsed by the formerly active ‘Blood Bowl Rules Committee’ in 2009.
 
Games involving rosters outside of this set of 24 will not be approved at present. In future we will be led by CRP (the official rules for tabletop Blood Bowl) regarding any changes to the rules of the game, including any new rosters.

Although you may want to include unofficial races in your tournament rules, coaches who pick one of these races will not gain any NAF points since the NAF rankings only include the official 24 races. That means that if a NAF member plays against a NAF member who picked an unofficial race, neither of them are eligible for NAF Coach Rating points. Any TO wishing to permit house-ruled or unofficial rosters at their tournament must be explicit in their
intentions at the point of submission, otherwise the tournament may not be granted approval.

4) Tournaments where teams are selected to represent nations are eligible for approval, even when the selection aspect of the tournament restricts participation. This is only if two conditions are met. First – the national selection procedure must be discussed and a broad consensus reached amongst the community within each nation (via e.g. NAF or other forums). Second – the tournament must fundamentally be open to all e.g. via the inclusion
of a fully open individual tournament alongside the selection-based event. Team tournaments where states or provinces are selected representatively are also permitted, provided the same conditions are met.
