BEST PAINTED TEAM AWARD
+1 Based: All the bases in the team (including coaching staff) are painted and textured in some manner. The baseline for texture is flock as a minimum. Just being painted green is not enough!

+1 Painted: The team is painted, all models have at least 3 colors on them. Different colors should be used for different areas. Undercoats must not be visible.

+1 Detailed: All models have had the details of the model painted in a variety of colors or with noticeable effects. This can be shading or highlighting, or 'black-lining' etc. This discriminates between the merely painted team and the team that has had attention paid to it.

+3 Representative: All models on the team are representative of the race and position that they are meant to portray. Extra weapons that are not part of a finished and painted figure should be removed. This does not mean that you must use official Blood Bowl miniatures. Only that an Ogre should look like an Ogre, a Dwarf should look like a Dwarf and so on.

Important: For all 4 of the above ... In order to get the full points for a category all the models in the team must fulfill the criteria. If even one fails, the points can't be scored.

The team voted best overall painted team by the coaches playing in the tournament will receive an extra 2 Painting points. The head referee and his assistants will choose the teams eligible for this voting during registration without ability to appeal their decisions. You must have painted your own team to be eligible for the best painted voting (however, teams painted by another person can still earn the full 15 normal painting points). It’s not uncommon for players to use teams that include miniatures which they haven’t painted themselves. There isn’t a problem with this. However, we do want to make sure that the Best Painted Team award goes to the player who painted their models themselves - the reward for the extra personal effort required to create and win with gorgeous miniatures. For this reason you’ll be asked to indicate on the form that comes with this pack whether you painted your team yourself, or if you got someone else to do it for you. The way in which we have decided to address this is to instruct the Painting Judges that they may not select the player’s team for Best Team voting if a player has declared that they did not personally paint all the models. It has no affect on your Tournament scores. This means that we can issue the accolade to the people who actually painted their miniatures. We ask all of the contestants to remain honest in their declaration.

The way the Best Painted Team award will be given works in three steps:
1. The judges mark each player’s team for Tournament points as listed above.
2. Each judge picks three teams for the Best Team vote. These forces are chosen for purely aesthetic and subjective reasons.
3. You will all be invited to vote for the Best Team during the Tournament. The most votes will win that player the award.

REFEREES
Rules questions arise in most games of Blood Bowl, both because the huge number of variables involved in the game make it just about impossible for the rulebook to cover every situation that might occur, and because different people interpret the rules in different ways. In order to avoid arguments we recommend that you refer to the appropriate rulebook as soon as a question arises. If the rules do not cover the situation, then roll a dice to decide what happens. In other words, a friendly dice roll should decide any question that cannot be answered by referring to the rules. Please note that there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking an opponent if they can show you the appropriate rule or set of characteristics so that you can check for yourself that everything is being done correctly. All we require is that you ask nicely and politely, and that you do your best to sort out any problems yourselves!

TIMERS
As you can see the timetable is quite tight so we ask that you play at a brisk pace. Timers can be supplied, but it is recommended that you bring your own. Timers are not enforced BUT, if you find that your opponent is taking to much time per team turn, you can request a timer to be used. Or the Event Organizer might ask to have a timer used if the game is in danger of exceeding the time limit. We ask everyone to be their own timer.
