CREATING AND APPLYING A TEAM ROSTER |
Before you create your team on Fumbbl, we highly suggest that you use an Excel sheet or one of the online helpers to create your team and make sure it adds up to the total amount. Find roster making tools on the NAF site. Once you have decided on your setup, generate a new team following all of the subsequent steps (do not reuse an existing team!): 1. Create a new team using this link and choose your race and team name. • Please add [TEAM NAME], in brackets, at the start of your own teams name. E.g. [Marauders] Reikland Rovers. • This allows us to group the teams for each event & really alleviates alot of headaches for us on the admin side so, if you could, please remember to do this correctly. If you have any questions, please just ask! 2. On the team page, there is no need to change ‘Progression’ from ‘Standard’ to ‘None’. 3. Buy all of your players, re-rolls, etc., make sure you have 11 rostered players before adding star players & click ‘submit for approval’. 4. After submission, click on 'Team Options', then 'Select Skills'. Then select your skills per your teams tier. 5. When ‘Save’ is pressed to confirm your skill choices, there is no pop-up or conformation screen. You can check if your skills have saved correctly by navigating away from the screen and then checking ‘Team Options’ on your team page. You must select all skills before the start of the tournament and may not change them later. 6. NAF coaches must record their NAF nick and NAF number in the team bio section following team creation. This will help us in the future recording and ranking of online games. Non NAF coaches need to add "Non NAF coach" in their bio. 7. Inducement(s) you wish to use should be left out of your team creation process and listed in the team bio. Inducements have to be announced before start of the tournament and may not be changed in-between matches! e.g.: at the beginning of a tournament match, select only your announced inducements, as you would normally by spending your remaining treasury as petty cash. 8. Navigate to the Tournament Team Site and use the button at the bottom at the page to apply your team. Please view Strider’s youtube video if you need more details how to create a team. |
TEAM/SQUAD BUILDING |
Each coach may choose to use one of the following: A: “Quantity over quality”: you can exchange 2 spp for 10k gold up to 5 times (gaining you a maximum of 50k gold for 10 spp) B: “Training camp”: get extra 6 spp but you lose 30k gold. If you choose this pack, you are only allowed to “stack” on 1 less player (e.g. High Elves only allowed to stack on 1 of their players). C: “Center of attention”: your team can hire star players but lose 8 spp for star players costing up to 120k, 14 spp for star players costing 121-260k, 20 spp for star players costing more than 260k. TIERS Tier1: Lizardmen, Shambling Undead, Dark Elves, Skaven, Amazons, Wood Elves Tier2: Orc, Norse, Underworld Denizens, Vampire, Dwarves Tier3: High Elves, Tomb Kings, Slann, Necromantic Horror, Humans Tier4: Elven Union, Khorne, Old World Alliance, Imperial Nobility, Chaos Dwarves Tier5: Black Orcs, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegades, Nurgle Tier6: Goblins, Ogres, Halflings, Snotlings, Gnomes Each squad member must take a different team. STARTING GOLD AND START PLAYER POINT (SPP) Tier 1: 1100k & 36 SPP Tier 2: 1110k & 42 SPP Tier 3: 1120k & 50 SPP Tier 4: 1130k & 56 SPP Tier 5: 1140k & 64 SPP Tier 6: 1150k & 70 SPP •You can spend spp according to the rulebook, but no random skills or characteristic improvements are allowed. •You are only allowed to take two extra skills on the same player. •You are only allowed to “stack” on 1 player for tier 1-2, 2 players for tier 3-4 and 3 players for tier 5-6. •Unspent gold and star player points are lost. •You can’t choose more than 4 from the same skill while spending star player points. If your team already has at least 4 from the same skill after buying your players (including star players) but before spending your skill points you CAN’T have more of that skill. i.e.: A dark elf coach bought 4 blitzers and 2 witch elfs, thus they can only give out two more dodge before reaching the limit of 4 dodges total. Since they already have at least 4 blocks on the roster they cannot give out any more. •You are not allowed to purchase bribes if your team adds either sneaky git or dirty player (or a star player with one of those skills) to the roster. LIST OF ELIGIBLE INDUCEMENTS - Bloodweiser keg - Mortuary assistant - Plague doctor - Wandering apothecary - Josef Bugman - Bribe - Master chef - Riotous rookies Team mascot will not be available on the Fumbbl event, but will be available at the actual event |

OTHER RULES |
• Games will be forfeited promptly to begin new rounds. This is essential as the next round can not be drawn until all games have been played. • If one player benefits from inducements not listed on the team’s “bio” or irregular use of Timeout with direct influence on the score, a concession might be applied. • Games will count towards NAF ranking as Online NAF games on thenaf.net. Forfeits and games against non NAF members are not recorded. |
FAIRPLAY |
• Be cordial on the chat and pm towards your opponent and audience. Any use of offensive laguage towards your opponent regarding racial, political or religious content might result in exclusion from the tournament and 1 year ban from NAF events. • We recommend avoiding Timeouts. However, if you use it, you are not allowed to do it without a first “transgression” and consequent first warning on the chat. Example: my opponent exceeds the time in one turn, I warn him that I will timeout next time. You can only use a timeout if the other opponent is playing their turn, if they give an indication that they need 5 minutes or similar to deal with a real life event then they can’t be timed out for this. |
