These are the OLD rules for the former Cripple Cup.
Please read through them and post any thoughts or ideas you might have in this thread. So that we all can agree on a good set of rules before we begin.
Some thoughts I have are for example: should there be a maximum number of players with AV 9 allowed, and whether or not we shall restrict the number of same races allowed or not? Don't want it all to end with EVERYONE playing chaos-teams only...
Maybe it is easier to ban some races totally?
What say you?

NO Re-rolls. NO Apothecary. NO Cheerleaders/Coaches/Purchased FF.
The only re-rolls allowed are via the auto-chance skills (Sure Hands, Catch etc), or being awarded one from a kickoff event. PRO or Leader may NOT be selected.
Abandonning a game in Cripple Cup is against the rules. Punishment will be strict & may include forced sacking of healthy players, loss of points or even expulsion from the competition. Punishment will be decided by the admins on a case by case basis.
Inducements
You may only spend gold you are awarded as part of Inducements in a match. You are not allowed to add to that gold from your own money.
You are allowed the following inducements only -
* Star Players
* Mercenaries - If there are postional restirictions for your team build, Merc can not be used to go above these.
* Wizards
* Bribes
* Bloodweiser Babes
Levelling Players
You may give them any skill except LEADER or PRO.
Hiring Players
No New players may be hired during the regular season. Stunty teams may hire replacements during a special Transfer Window, see below. Between seasons all teams may get fresh players subject to limitations listed below and must have a minimum of 11 players.
Nurgle teams - if during a match a nurgle team gains a player by killing one of the opposition then this extra player may be used for that match only (if it appears in your dugout). They may not be retained in the post match sequence.
Releasing Players
You may not release players under any circumstances not matter how battered they become. A bodybag is the only way off the teamsheet!
Stunty Transfer Window
Stunty based teams are allowed to hire new players between Week 5 and Week 6 of the group stages. New goblins/halfings/skinks may be purchased to bring total team numbers up to 13 Max.
Please note: New Trolls, Secret Weapons, Treemen, Krox or Saurii may not be purchased at this time.
New Teams
If you can take a big guy for your race, you must take one.
Races available for selection will be posted pre-season in a sign-up thread. These are normally allocated on a first come first served basis and may include restictions on the type of player that can be taken for each race.
Existing Teams for another season
No player may be fired from the team, no matter how rubbish they have become. The ONLY way out is DEATH.
New players may be hired (pre-season only) as long as the number of players does not exceed the following race limits:
High Elf, Dark Elf - 12 players max
Pro Elf, Wood Elf, Norse, Human, Khorne, Amazon - 13 players max
Skaven, Nurgle - 14 players max
Underworld, Vampire - 15 Players Max
All Others - 16 players
If your team may take a big guy and it was killed in the previous season, you must buy a new one before any other players are purchased.
Additionally, all teams must start a season with at least 11 rostered players.
Absences
You are expected to post in the absences thread when you are going to be away from bloodbowl access for a significant period of time on top of the main league.
Admin decisions
To be avoided if at all possible as they can have a large effect due to the format of the cup. We will mostly be following the standard UKBBL rules for the result awarded, however the admin team reserves the right to deviate from this if it is felt appropriate. More than 1 adminned match each Season as a resut of an individual Coach is frowned upon and may result in that Coach being replaced.
Replacement Teams
In the rare circumstances that a team needs to be replaced mid season, then the admin team (RTSD & Charlie) will attempt to be as fair as possible to find a suitable team to slot into the vacant spot.
3rd Place Cup Entries
The top 2 placed teams in each group go to the cripple cup, the bottom 2 placed teams go to the cripple bucket. The team with the least point in third place does not go to the cripple cup. The two fifth place teams with the least points go to the cripple bucket. And everyone in between goes to the cripple saucer. Any situation where points are level goes to the tie breaker rules.
Tie Breakers
Occasionally teams will finish on the same points as each other. To decide who finished higher we will use the following in order from 1 to 10. If it ever gets to stage 5 or lower then something isnt right in the world!
1. Unblemished Players
2. Head-to-head result
3. Most kills inflicted this season
4. Most Casualties inflicted this season
5. Most KO's inflicted this season
6. TD Difference
7. TD's scored
8. Fewest on your regular roster
9. Fewest adminned results for this season
