“Ah captain! You seek new pastures on which to unleash your team you say? Well I’m not sure I know of… ah thank you, most kind. Yes, yes, hmmm. Why don’t you try The Maelstrom Cup? It is the ultimate Blood Bowl challenge, said to be the playing ground of the Chaos Gods themselves. They say Papa Nurgle blesses and curses with fearsome mutations, Lord Tzeentch sends ice and oppressive heat to drive players to desperation, Slaanesh spreads even more corruption and Khorne drives his minions to surround the pitch, stamping and eagerly awaiting the first slip. But the rewards are great, and I can get you there. For a small fee of course. Well, I say small…”
Wee Mad Drongo the Halfling – Last known conversation
The tournament follows the NAF Championship Rules 2019 with the following amendments.
Nurgle’s Nudge
Papa Nurgle is busy at work among the fresh crops. Mutations spread throughout the gathering teams. A lone Witch Hunter mutters of a pattern.
In addition to the extra skills obtainable under the NAF 2019 rules, each team may assign a number of mutations depending on its tier level. These are Assigned on Day 1 before Game 1 and retained throughout the tournament. These mutations cannot be stacked with other additional skills/mutations.
1 tier – 1 mutation
2 tier – 2 mutations
3 tier – 3 mutations
Tzeentch’s Touch
The best explanations for the fickler weather are all whispered ones, and all mention the dread Tzeentch.
This is the Weather Table used in the tournament.
2 Sweltering Heat
3-4 Very Sunny
5-9 Nice: Perfect Blood Bowl weather.
10-11 Pouring Rain
12 Blizzard
Slaanesh’s Slip
Slaanesh wouldn’t miss this opportunity to subtly edge the players to greater violence. Referees find themselves distracted by fleeting shadows, or their eyes drooping with an inexplicable fatigue.
When a foul is spotted by a referee, the fouling player rolls a D6. On a 5+ the foul is ignored. The player can still use a bribe in the normal manner if the bribe does not succeed.
Khorne’s Killers
Followers of Khorne swamp to these events. They eagerly await some luckless player falling into their hands, and few of those hands are unarmed.
A+1 modifier is added to injury rolls on crowd pushes.

Despite the several successes of many a Skaven team, many Grey Seers have grown more and more paranoid about their lack of control over many a Blood Bowl Tournament. Grey Seer Stabnsteal has commented that this is a situation that must be remedied “now now quick-fast”. After several debates and a few assassinations 13 Grey Seers agreed to convene their own tournament. Unfortunately for them they have attracted the attention of a Vermin Lord which has also added its own unique twists.
The tournament follows the NAF Championship Rules 2019 with the following amendments.
FAVOURS OF THE RAT
In addition to the extra skills obtainable under the NAF 2019 rules, each team may assign a number of Favours of the Rat depending on its tier level. ONLY ONE TYPE OF THE SAME FAVOUR MAY BE ASSIGNED TO EACH TEAM (no duplicates). These are assigned before Game 1 and retained throughout the tournament. These Favours cannot be stacked with other additional skills/favours.
1st tier – 1 Favour
2nd tier – 2 Favours
3rd tier – 3 Favours
FAVOURS
Gaze of the Rat: The player gains the Hypnotic Gaze Skill. The player ALSO gains the Blood Lust skill.
Stealth of the Rat: The player gains the Stab Skill.
Endurance of the Rat: The player gains the Regeneration Skill.
RULE BY THIRTEEN
Any team which has exactly 13 players on its roster gains the Ianic Dagger skill, which is assigned to any player but cannot be stacked with other skills/favours. ONCE PER GAME if this player inflicts a casualty during a block and the result of the casualty is 11-38 after any rerolls, roll a D6. On a result of 4 or more the opposing player must miss the rest of the game.

Team Creation:
Danish ATV rules will be used.
https://www.bloodbowl.dk/atv19/
A modified kick-off table for Carnage Bowl will be used.
2: Where’s the Ref?: The ref is no where to be seen! Probably too scared to go into the pitch! For the rest of the drive, gain a bribe which works automatically.
3: Coach brawl: The trash talking of both coaches got nasty and resulted into a bloody Coach on Coach fist fight! Each coach roll a
d6+FAME(To see if any fans help!). The losing coach leaves the pitch this drive,being unable to argue the call, and loses a team re-roll. If the fight’s a tie, both coaches waste the rest
of the drive arguing with each other. Apply the same effect above to both coaches.
4: Strength of a Troll
The kicking team has just kicked off and looks at one of their players.. they have sneaked in a troll’s blood potion. A random player from the kicking’s team gets Strength 5 and Really Stupid for d3 + fame turns. If player is already strength 5 then roll for random player again.
5: Popped ball: BOOM!..What was that?…the ball just popped in mid air! The receiving team starts their first turn with no ball on the pitch! The ref throws in a ball at the receiving team at start
of the kicking team’s turn!(Scatter from center)
6: Cheering Fans – Unchanged
7: Changing Weather – Unchanged
8: Brilliant Coaching – Unchanged
9:Flying Chainsaw! : Some loony fan throws a chainsaw into the reviving team’s side of the pitch! Roll 1d6 and 1d8 from the center of the
pitch to see where the chainsaw lands. Do not scatter the chainsaw(Chainsaws don’t bounce). Place a token to mark where the chainsaw landed. If the chainsaw lands on a
player roll an armor roll +3 for that player.
10: Blood lust: One player from the receiving team is a little bit too bloodthirsty then the rest of his time! The receiving team’s coach picks any player, that player gets a free activation
before the ball hits the ground! During the activation, that player gains horns, claw and might blow!
11 Bombs Away!: An enraged fan hurls a large bomb at one of the players on the opposing team. Each coach rolls a D6 and adds their
FAME (see page 18) to the roll. The fans of the team that rolls higher are the ones that threw the bomb. In the case of a tie a bomb is thrown at each team! Decide randomly which player in the other team this was targeted at (only players on the pitch are eligible) and roll for that player and any players around him. On a 4+ roll an injury roll.
12: LET THE CARNAGE BEGIN
The fans are growing tired of this fancy pansy game, and want to see blood! The fans start throwing all sorts of weaponry into the pitch, from spikes, to baseball bats! To represent this, all players for the rest of the game have -1 AV value. (Yes, this effect stacks every-time it triggers!)
