CREATING YOUR TEAM
• Each team has a total of 1,150,000 gp to spend on roster creation and must hire a
minimum of 11 players. Any unspent cash at roster creation will be lost and all teams
will be considered having the same Current Team Value (CTV) for the purpose of
inducements and prayers to Nuffle.
• Cash given is also used to buy rerolls, assistant coaches, cheerleaders, apothecary
and so on.
• The World Cup is a resurrection tournament, so no SPP are gained, and injuries,
casualties or deaths do not carry on from one game to other.
• Undead, Necromantic and Nurgle teams are allowed to apply the Masters of
Undeath and Plague Ridden special rules. Players added to a team roster through a
game as a result of those special rules are removed from the roster at the end of that
game.
• Teams will consist of a minimum of 11 players and a maximum of 16 players, including star players.
• Star players can only be induced after 11 regular players have already been rostered.
• Star players can’t be given extra skills from the team’s skill budget.
• If both opposing teams are fielding the same star player in a game, both star players are allowed to play

STARPLAYERS
In case you’re considering adding a star player to your team, you
will have to follow this rules:
• You can’t hire the same star player twice in a squad. So just one Griff Oberwald, one Roxanna Darknail and so on through the teams that form a squad.
• As stated before, star players can’t be given extra skills from the team’s skill set.
• New amazon star players published in Spike 15 are not allowed in the World Cup, as there is not enough input about them right now. Amazon teams are allowed to use the same star players they had before Spike 15 was published.

EXTRA CHARGE FOR CERTAIN STARPLAYERS
Certain starplayers are so famous, glamorous or infamous that their team mates pay all their attention to them, forgetting to properly train and improve their own skills. So in case you want to hire one of them for your team, you will have to “pay” some of the skills you got on your skillset to picture this situation. If you hire one of the following starplayers, you’ll have to reduce the mentioned skills from your skillsets.

STARPLAYER SKILL COST
Morg’N’Thorg 3 Primary Skills
Griff Oberwald 3 Primary Skills
Deeproot Strongbranch 2 Primary Skills
Hakflem Skuttlespike 2 Primary Skills
Kreek Rustgouger 2 Primary Skills
Bomber Dribblesnot 2 Primary Skills
Wilhem Chaney 1 Primary Skills

Examples:
• A Dwarf coach wants to hire Griff Oberwald. Being Tier 1, he chooses the C skill set and reduces 3 skills from it, getting 0 skills for his team (and paying Griff’s fee too, it doesn’t mean he doesn´t have to pay gp for him)

• A Goblin coach wants to hire Bomber Dribblesnot for his team. He chooses the C skill set and reduces 1 skill from it, getting 5 Primary Skills.

• A Halfling coach wants to hire Morg’N’Thorg and Griff
Oberwald for his team. He chooses the D skill set, that
allows him to have 2 star players on the team. But as that
skill set just gives him 4 primary skills, and he would have to
reduce it by 6, it’s not allowed to hire both star players
