RULES
This Jolt cup event will run with a simplified ruleset taken from the Eucalyptus Bowl being held in Sydney in June 2023.
The intent is to allow local coaches to get a taste of wider variety of rulesets, while also allowing those coaches that are attending the Eucalyptus Bowl to practice with their teams against a wider variety of opponents.
Jolt Cup 2024 events will use the rules as outlined in Blood Bowl Second Season Edition - The Official Rules, plus teams and inducements included in GW rules released 1 month prior to the event date.

TEAM BUILDS
Coaches can select any team from the Bloodbowl rulebook, GW Spike Magazines, Teams of Legend document or Slann.
All teams have a value of 1,250,000, except Stunty which will be 1,350,000.
Stunty teams are Goblins, Ogres, Snotlings, Halflings, and Gnomes.
The gold can be spent on any combination of players, inducements and skills allowed by the Ruleset.
All teams must start with at least 11 players (including star players)
You must spend all your cash, or discard unspent funds. You cannot keep unspent funds in your treasury and spend it later, not can you use a lower TV to claim a roll on the Prayers to Nuffle table.
Each rostered player can be given at most one Normal skill, increasing their team value by 20k.
Teams are limited to selecting at most 2 of each non-General skill. Stunty teams are exempt from this restriction.
Star players will incur an additional 50k cost on top of their hiring value.
Teams can only have 1 star player (or rostered pair) on their team, except Stunty teams which can have 2 star players.
If both teams have the same star player rostered then they will not take the field. Instead a journeyman will play in their place.
Star Players cannot be given additional skills.

This tournament will be a resurrection tournament. After each round, teams will reset to their original roster. No injuries will carry over, and no SPP’s will be rec.
SWISS MATCH UP
