The Scotts Valley Blood Bowl League uses the following modifications:

Star Players

Outside of crush results, Star players may never be retired.

Allies

Appearance Fees

At the start of every tournament, any non allied player with 51 or more SPPs will not play in that tournament until the Hold Out Fee is paid.  Once the Hold Out Fee is paid, they player will play the remainder of the tournament.  Non allied star players are subject to this same rule (SPPs = Cost / 1000 gps).  Non allied star players will charge a hold out fee if they are hired during a tournament.
 

SPPs	Hold Out Fee
51-100	25,000 GPs
101-150	50,000 GPs
151+	100,000 GPs

Allied players charge appearnce fees.  The SVBBL uses the following Appearance Fee rate:
 

SPPs	Appearance Fee
51-100	15,000 GPs
101-150	25,000 GPs
151+	50,000 GPs

Unicorn Star players are treated as non allied players (for the purposes of Apperance Fees ONLY) and thus charge Hold Out Fees, not Appearance Fees.

Special Positions

Star Player Corrections

Diving Tackle

Flash

The player is so "distracting" that any opposing player within 3 squares of her must subtract -1 from any pass or catch roll.
Additionally any opposing player that attempts to block the "Flasher" must first roll 2-6 on a singe die.  If a 1 is rolled, that player's action ends, but a turnover does NOT occur.
Additionally once during the "Flasher's" action she may Flash one opposing player who is an adjacent square.  Roll 1 die: if the score is greater than the victim's Agility, then the victim is "distracted" and loses his tackle zone.

Flash may only be used if:

1. The head coach of the Cotton Tails is wearing the appropriate head gear (bunny ears).

1. The head coach of the Cotton Tails is wearing the appropriate head gear (bunny ears).
2. The skill upgrade roll is 10, 11, or doubles

If a player with the Flash skill is transferred to another team, that player loses the flashing skill.  The player immediately gains another skill or trait that would normally be available to that position on a doubles roll.
 

Piling On

Stunty Players

• All stunty players have +1 on injury rolls and -1 when throwing in the same manner as Halfling and Goblins.
• Stunty can only be taken by players with ST 2 or lower, but if they gain a strength increase they do not lose Stunty.
• Stunty players only ignore dodge modifiers for Tackle Zones, not other modifiers such as Prehensile Tail.
• From the description of the skill Stunty [DZ p13] it is clear that a Stunty player who takes Very Long Legs must lose the skill Stunty.

The Crush

1) Each coach must roll a d6 for each player on his team who has 25 or more SPPs (or is a Star Player):

1d6	Result
1-3:	Retire or Leaving the Team
4-6:	Stay with team

If a player wants to "Retire or Leave Team" roll a d6.  If the result is greater than the number of Niggling Injuries the player is thinking about Leaving the Team.  If the results is less than or equal to the number of Niggling Injuries, the player is Retiring.

Retiring: Remove the player from the roster.  You may add him (for free) as an assistant coach.
Leaving the Team: You may pay 1d6 * 10,000 gps to keep the player on your roster.  If you do not, remove the player from the roster.

A player who has retired/left the team may replaced (for free) if that player's Race and Position exists on the teams standard list.

2) Players who have left the team now participate in the Crush.  All coaches may bid on players participated in the Crush.  However teams will only allow certain
races to play on their teams.  Any money spent on players that are not allowed on the play on the team is lost, along with the player.

Players are bid on 1 at a time.  The starting bid value for a player is 1d6 * 10,000 gps.  The order of players to be bid on in the Crush is:

1. Players who have left a Team
2. Random Star Player

Nurgle Teams

The following rules were originally created by James C. Jamieson.  They have been modified to fit the SVBBL environment.

One player on the Rotters declared the Champion.  The Champion has the Foul Appearance skill (in addition to his other normal skills) as listed in Death Zone.

All non champion rookie Nurgle players start at FA (Foul Appearance) 0.

Beastmen at FA 0 do not have horns.

Daemons are treated as the same as the Champion (they do not advance in the rot), however, they are not considered the team's Champion.

If the Champion is killed, another active non daemon player becomes the Champion.  Their rot progression immediately stops.  However, any effects of the rot acquired before becoming the Champion remain.

FA 0 are treated as if they did not have the Foul Appearance skill.

FA 1+ are treated as if they ahd the Foul Appearance skill with the following modification:  Opposing players wishing to block a player with Nurgle's Rot must first roll greater than or equal to the Rotter's Foul Appearance level.  A roll of a 1 always fails.  On a failure, that player's action ends.

During the post match sequence before the allocating SPPs roll 1d6 for every non champion player on the team.  If the result is less than or equal to the FA level of that player, the players FA level is increased by 1.  A roll of 1 always results in a FA level increase.  If the player has the Regeneration ability he may attempt to make a regeneration roll.  If it is successful, he loses a FA level.  The regeneration roll takes places AFTER the FA increase roll.  Any effects of the previous FA increase are still kept.

Foul Appearance Table

FA Level	Effects on Player
0	Skin discolors.  No effect
1	Pustules break out all over skin.  -1 AV
2	Skin rots.  Additional -1 AV
3	Gains Horns
4	Eyes grows together.  -1 AG
5	Feet grow claws.  -1 MA & gain Claw
6	Plays only one more match, -1 MA, -2 ST, and -1 AG

No stat may go below 1.

If a Rotter Badly Hurts or Seriously Injures an opponent and it is not Regenerated or Apothed roll 1d6.  On a 1, the victim is infected with Nurgle's Rot, becomes FA level 1, and immediately loses one point of AV.  At the end of the match the player joins the Rotters.

The following players are immune to Nurgle's Rott:

• Mummies
• Wights
• Skeletons
• Tomb Guardians
• Daemons
