ROSTER BUILDING
• You will be given 1,100,000 GP to build your roster.
o You may purchase players, rerolls, dedicated fans, coaches, cheerleaders as normal with this money
o Wizards, Journeymen, Special Play cards of any kind, and Mercenaries are not allowed
o Blood Bowl Star Players may be purchased as normal, but you must have purchased 11 team players first
before you can add a Blood Bowl Star Player
o Scares Star Players may be purchased as normal, but you must have purchased 10 team players first before
you can add a Scares Star Player (i.e., the Scare becomes your 11th player)
o Highlander Rule: If two opponents have purchased the same Blood Bowl Star Player, they will not play for
either team and they keep the money spent to purchase them. However, it two opponents have purchased
the same Scares Star Player, they will play for both teams.

In addition to the above Scares Star Players, all teams may hire ONE of the following special coach packs:
o Shift all your players one square in any direction. This is a free move and dodges do not have to be
made. Players may move across the line of scrimmage. Also, nega-skills such as bonehead and
bloodlust do not have to be made. A ball and chain player can only move, not throw a block.
o One open player may make a blitz action. Team rerolls may not be used during this blitz action.
• Coach Bloody Ryan cannot be sent off due to a failed Argue the Call roll.
