Event Essentials
HABBL-MAS is back for another year, bringing you another day of festive Blood Bowl action!
This year, we’re using the same ruleset as UKTC, giving you the perfect opportunity to test out your rosters, fine-tune your builds and perhaps have a rethink before committing!
There are just a few differences to be aware of:
- This is an individual tournament, so there’s no need to bring the rest of your team. However, you’re more than welcome to bring them along!
- It’s a one-day tournament, featuring three games.
- Tie-breakers will be decided in the following order:
- Roster submitted on time
- Most Touchdowns (TD)
- Net Touchdowns
- Most Casualties (Cas)
- Net Casualties
Everything else follows the UKTC ruleset. We’ve included a reminder of the team-building rules and permitted inducements below.
