Welcome back to Tashbash people!!! 😁 We are going to be running our 5th Tournament for Movember. We have gone from strength to strengthen with this even and you people have just been AMAZING!!!!! Due to the UK Masters beating us to the post date wise, we will now be kicking off the month of Movember instead of closing the month as normal (I'm gonna have to paint a Mo on my face for the weekend  ).This is a charity Blood Bowl tournament held to raise money for the https://uk.movember.com/ foundation and help raise awareness for mens physical health, mental health and suicide prevention. Even though the Covid pandemic and Lockdown are both in the rear view mirror, the impact on people's mental health still remains. This ranges from increased anxiety and depression, through to suicidal ideation and suicide itself. Movember funds over 1250 projects for mens health across 20 countries! Together we can help raise awareness of these issues and help fellow Mo Bro.
The tournament will be held in the lovely (cough) city of Lancaster in the NW just off the M6 (So easy to get to). There are plenty of hotels in and on the edge of the city. Some great real ale pub (as well as not so great pubs) and a variety of nightlife. There am will be 50 places available.
North West Tournament Series:
Yes, 2025 sees the NW join the UK tournament series! Tashbash is 1 of the last tournaments of the year, and the 2nd biggest in the NW. Tashbash offers MAXIMUM tournament series point for the winner, and thus the potential to clutch the title. For more information visit the topic on TFF

The GW Bloodbowl Season 2 exhibition rules and some of those from Death Zone (see below) will be used. Spike! magazine rules will be reviewed before any decision is made on there use.
There will be 6 games over the course of two days using the Swiss format - Random draw for round 1, then each round thereafter 1st and 2nd place play each other, 3rd and 4th place play each other, 5th and 6th place play each other...
We will be using Tourplay for creating & submitting rosters, inputting results, generating the rounds... Please remember to add your official NAF details that are UP-TO-DATE! We have had incorrect NAF names used in the past and it stops results being uploaded to the NAF site. Then register for Tashbash 5 in the tournament section. You can create your roster here and it does all the hard work for you.

Loss 0pts
*Bonuse points will be awarded for casualties (Blocking AND fouling) and TDs to a maximum or 2 in each category.
It is YOUR responsibility to input the game information in to Tourplay. Anything not inputted correctly falls to the players, not the TO.
TEAM BUILDING:
over the last 4 years there have been a number of coaches who have gone and abused the rule sets and been labelled as 'Dirty Beardy Gitz!'. Due to these disgraceful people, rules have evolved. There are currently 3 rules that are in effect for Tashbash.
The Rule of NoNumber - 200k cap on Stars/Mercs for non-stunties
The Rule of Widram - No DP/MB +2 on Mercs
The Rule of Valen - Teams now Tiered and skills capped at 4 repeats (o more 8 spam guard Dwarf's!)
Each coach will have 1,200,000gps to spend on their team. Teams available for use are those from Season 2, Teams of legend and Khorne teams (29in total). Any gold not used will be lost. All players will be resurrected before each game and SPP will not be used. All players must be represented by an appropriate painted model, but this does not have to be a GW model (There are plenty of amazing fantasy football models out there to use).
This year teams will be in tiers for the purpose of the Stars/Mercenary part of the inducements.

Mercenary's are only available for tier 2 (200,000gp Cap) and tier 3 (No price Cap).If you take a Mercenary then it must be represented by an appropriate model, not just a model from the original team (E.G.

For the purpose of the tournament when creating a Mercenary you CAN'T reduce/increase stats or pick the skill packages that include Dirty Player (+2) or Mighty Blow (+2). All Mercenary's created are added to the 'Merc pool' on Tourplay. This means that everyone can see Mercenary's that have been made, and may also use them.
