Sportsmanship & fair play

Proxies & Unpainted teams:
Proxies are not allowed. Your miniatures should resemble what they are supposed to be. If it looks like a goblin, it should be one. Positionals should be easily recognizable.
If in doubt about what you are planning to bring, please contact us beforehand.

Dice:
Please use dice that can be easily read from a distance. You must always let your opponent roll with your dice if he wishes to do so.
Agree on what is a cocked dice with your opponent before the game starts - or use a dice cup/tower to avoid this problem alltogether.
Probability calculators:
Coaches are not allowed any apps or devices to calculate chances during their games.

The latest NAF tournament rules and BB2020 Errata and FAQ are in use.
Skills need to be allocated right after the game. They should be added to the roster, and registered on the result sheet. It’s a joined responsibility for both coaches to make sure this result sheet is complete.
