EurOpen Squad Creation: Each Squad consists of 4 coaches, each coach playing a different race. Each Squad can spend up to 4 Squad Points on Blessings, each Blessing can be used maximum 1 time in each Squad.
* CENSORED
A coach can only use 1 Blessing for their team. Squad point costs are:
Blessing of Hermes: 1 Squad Point Blessing of Artemis: 1 Squad Point Blessing of Ares: 2 Squad Points Blessing of Athena: 2 Squad Points
Spartan Roster *: No blessings. The roster is created with the above rules.
* Spartans,known for their brevity.
Blessing of Hermes *: (Extra gold) One or more Skill Points can be exchanged for gold at a ratio of 30k per 1SP. Gold earned this way MUST NOT take team value above 1200K before added skills.
* God of boundaries, roads and travelers, thieves, athletes, shepherds, commerce, speed, cunning, wit, magic, and sleep. Psychopomp and divine messenger.
Blessing of Artemis *: (Skill stacking) By sacrificing ONE Skill Point from their Gift of Apollo total, the coach can add a second skill to players on their roster. The number of players with stacked skills is limited as follows:
1 Skill Stack for Zeus/Hera (Tier 1-2), 2 Skill Stacks for Poseidon/Demeter (Tier 3-4) 3 Skill Stacks for Hades/Hestia (Tier 5-6)
A Primary Skill costs 1 SP , a Secondary Skill 2 SP.
Example: A High Elf team (Poseidon/Tier 3) would lose 1 skill point to put 2 skill stacks on the roster, and would now have 7 SP to spend on skills. If the coach gives two of their catchers both the block and dodge skill (both Primary skills costing 1 SP each), this would leave 3 SP to spend on the rest of the team.
* Goddess of nature, childbirth, wildlife, the Moon, the hunt, sudden death, animals, virginity, young women, and archery.
Blessing of Ares *: (Star Players) One (1) Star Player can be rostered for Tier 1-4 teams, up to two (2) Star Players can be rostered for Tier 5-6 teams.

Blessing of Athena *: (Extra skill point) The coach may spend 1 Skill Point more than their Gifts of Apollo total, as long as the usage of the Skill Points from the coach does not exceed in total 3 times that skill in the roster (including built-in skills).
Example: A dark elf team with 4 blitzers, 2 witches and 5 LineElves can have this extra skill as long as the Skill Points from the tier and the extra Skill Point from the blessing do not add the Block skill because there are already more than 3 but not from the skill point usage, and can add maximum 1 more Dodge skill because there are already 2 in the roster and by spending 1 Skill Point the total number reaches 3.

Draconian Laws The Tournament uses the Bloodbowl 2020 edition Exhibition play rules. The English version will be used to settle any discrepancies in the rules or rulespack between versions in different languages.
Vampires are the latest addition to the game and have been included fully. We retain the right to use or discard any and all rules published after 6th of November 2023.

RULESET UPDATE
|
The GW FAQ-Errata document of 28th May 2024 has caused the following two changes to the Tournament Ruleset:
(a) rules and rosters will comply with the rules as altered by the 28th May FAQ.
(b) the "Riotous Rookies" Inducement is added to the Gifts of Hephaestus list. |
RULES ON TIME MANAGEMENT
|
Each round will last 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Players are not expected to waste time during the match.
If any of the players should request that a chess clock should be implemented for time keeping during the match, it must be implemented immediately. Players are expected to have their own chess clock, physical/digital or app.
We recommend that a chess clock be implemented immediately if there are only 60 minutes or less left in the round, and none of the coaches have played Turn 2 of the second half.
Once a chess clock has been implemented, it can only be stopped by a referee.
If one of the coaches uses up all the time alloted to them by the chess clock, during their turn they can only pick up knocked down players and turn over stunned players. |
CODE OF CONDUCT
|
Pre- match talks
Coaches are required to talk to their opponent before the start of the match explaining any play conventions they are using during the game, especially on topics like: -how you roll dice, when a dice is cocked and how you will reroll it; -what constitutes an acceptable takeback of an action; -what kind of tokens they will be using and what for (prone big guys, etc).
Games that run out of time
At the end of the time alloted to each round, no more dice will be rolled. Coaches are allowed but not required to agree to what would have probably been the most likely result. If they do not, the result on the pitch at the end of the time will be final.
Dice Sharing
Dice sharing is mandatory if one of the coaches requests it.
Rules conflicts and Referee intervention
Due to the limited numbers of referees and the large number of coaches attending, the following requirements will be in place:
All Eurobowl teams are required to have with them two copies of the rulebook and two copies of the printed FAQs.
All Europen teams are required have with them one copy of the rulebook and one copy of the printed FAQs.
Coaches playing a team that is not included in the rulebook are required to have the relevant rules with them (Spike, Almanac or Team of Legends printout). Coaches playing a specific Star Player not included in the rulebook are required to have the rules for that star player.
If a rule conflict arises Coaches should read the rules first to find a solution, with the help of their captains, if needed. If there is still no agreement the captains must call a referee. Referees can also intervene on their own initiative. The referee's first responsibility is towards the smooth progress of the tournament. Once a referee is called or intervenes, their ruling is final and cannot be questioned. The time lost will not be recovered, so please try to play fast enough to give yourself enough time to deal with such incidents. |
