THis is the full draft for your reference, scroll down to the bottom of the page for another draft wherein I attempt to cut out the bulky/unused/disruptive bits and keep the simple good stuff.
Season 5[/u] draft in progress
CHanges from season 4 are highlighted in Yellow
New rules to checkout:
1.3, WYSIWYG
1.5, more star player points
1.6, winnings table
2.3, draft (replaces holdouts)
3.1, Free agents have changed alot.
3.3, team Captains
4.2, referees
5,6 and 7, shitloads of rules for players with the STUNTY, RIGHT STUFF and TITCHY skills respectively.
Tied Games
If the score is tied at the end of turn 16, the game results is a draw.
In tied playoff games the second half will continue until either team scores or one team is cleared from the pitch entirely, the turn limit of 8 per half can therefore be exceeded if the score is tied at the end of 16 game turns. If alloted time for a playoff time passes, with the game still tied, a repeat matchup will be scheduled for the following week.
ANy coach is perfectly within his rights (and indeed encouraged) to introduce the use of 4 minute timers at any point in the game if that game may run long, or if either coach appears to be taking fairly long turns. Finishing games properly is in the best interest of both coaches and the league, so that rosters can be updated, results compiled, players skilled up and so forth.
1.0. Building your team roster
1.1. 1,250,000gp team build, no skill package. Initial team rating will be 125
Coaches can purchase the following options from their treasury or starting cash to be a PERMANENT part of the roster, though they can be sold off during the postmatch sequence, and the cost is added to the team treasury.
??1.2. Permanent team staff available for inclusion in the team include
1. 0-2 Budweiser Babes
2. 0+ assistant coaches
3. 0+ cheerleaders
4. 0-1 Halfling master chef (300,000gp, or 100,000gp for an all-stunty team).
5. 0-1 Apothecary
6. 0-2 star player (max 150,000gp total for star players, ie mostly secret weapon star players).
{note no more wizards on your team}
1.3. WYSIWYG Bonuses.
If a miniature is appropriately painted the player gets its first SPP for free.
1.4. Inducements for game Handicap
In addition to inducements listed in the rulebook the following options are available for inducement during pregame to balance team values.
a. 0-2 Bribes (Personel)-A player can spend cash from his inducement pool to bribe an opposing player or staff member to not show up on game day. On a roll of 2-5 the player gets lost on the way to the game and can only play in the second half, on the roll of a 6 the player may not play in the game at all. On a roll of a 1 the player pockets the money but plays anyway. The cost is equal to the value of the player or staff member (e.g. 150,000gp for a wizard, 50,000 for a human lineman).
1.5. Star Player Points
In addition to the actions listed in the rulebook any player can claim

2.3. Player Draft
At the start of each season each continuing team is visited by a scout from one of the big teams. The commish rolls D100 for each player on a continuing team. If the roll is less than or equal to the player's SPP total he is removed from the roster with gp compensation equal to his rookie cost.
The purpose is to help bridge the gap between monstrous returning teams and rookie teams.
When a player is drafted the team can either let the player go, and recieve the compensation, or pay a new contract for the player to stay. The team must pay the player's full current value. To pay this contract the coach may use the compensation payout for the player (ie he only need to pay the difference between rookie cost and value). He may use gps from the team treasury. If the coach wants to keep the player but does not have enough cash he may cut players and recieve half the rookie value in cash for each player he cuts. However, a team can not start a season with fewer than 11 players.
3.1. Free Agent Acquisition
A free agent list is available for players to bid on.
click here for free agent list and more details
Each player on the list represents a player suitable for your team who has pre-existing experience points and skill upgrades. You are bidding on a new player with the described upgrade.
The cost of the player will be the bid amount PLUS the cost of the rookie player. ie you are bidding on the upgrade cost, which must be added to a brand new player, not purchased as an extra for a player already on your roster.
3.2. Hostile Bid
Each coach may make one hostile bid per week if he has sufficient gps on hand. The bid may be made after sunday night and before tuesday midnight's trade deadline. Choose a player from one of the rosters posted on the forum. To be eligible the coach must also have his own roster posted online.
3.3. Team Captain
Each coach must nominate one team captain, this player can not be from a 0-1 position or be a star player. This must be noted on the team list and pointed out to the opposing coach at the start of each match.
The following rules apply to a team captain:
a) If the captain dies his team immediately looses 1 fan factor and the opposing team immediately gains 2 fan factor.
if a suitable token is created to commemorate this achievement (e.g. a headstone with the player's name or a decaying corpse) it can be used as a free additional reroll each time the same two teams play). This reroll does not add to team value.
B) If the captain is clearly identifiable* he may claim the following bonuses:
(The Captain's bonuses do not cost gps, require or add to SPPs or create any additional player or team value.)
*to classify as clearly identifiable the captain must be either, a more detailed model than the rest of the team or be marked with "Captain" on the base.
C) The Captain gains
D) When the team Captain is fouled his team immediately gains a free reroll.
4.0. Dirty Play:
4.1. Bloody Minded Fans
In a game where a team has killed an opposing player the team will automatically go up by one fan factor, no roll is made.
4.2. Amataur Referees
At the start of each match roll 2d6 to determine which type of referee will be officiating in your match.
AFOUL Referees. 2D6 at the begining of the game and instead of the ‘get the ref’ kickoff table result.
2 Cowardly, the Ref fears for his life if he angers the wrong fans.
will not send off players for fouling
3 sadistic, the Ref has an appetite for blood.
secret weapon players are only sent off on a 4+ after each drive.
4 Slack, the Ref doesn't really want to get involved.
fouling players are only sent off if doubles are rolled on injury roll
5 Impressionable, the Ref plays it safe with the crowd by taking it easy on the favourite.
‘slack’ against team with FAME (no effect if even)
6 Greedy, the Ref is easily corruptable and unlikely to turn down your 'gifts'.
bribes automatically work, rather than needing a 2+ roll.
7 Normal
8 straight, the Ref is not as easily swayed as some.
bribes fail on a D6 roll of 1 or 2.
9 Gambler, the Ref has put a wager on the underdog and plans to help their chances.
‘strict’ against team with FAME (no effect if even)
10 strict, the Ref is a bit of a stickler for fair play.
fouling player also sent off on any injury roll of 7
11 Compassionate, the Ref has a softspot for the little chaps.
‘slack’ against fouls by stunties, ‘strict’ against fouls of stunties
12 violent, when opportunity arises the Ref likes to deal out his own brand of justice.
when a fouling player is sent off also make an injury roll for the player
4.3. Bribes
A coach may spend a bribe to get a red-carded player or secret weapon player back onto the pitch.
4.4. Canceling a bribe
A coach may spend a bribe to cancel an opponent's bribe (works on a 2+)[/i]
5.0. Stunties
The following rules apply to any player with the STUNTY skill.
5.1. Cheeky Little Bugger
Referees have been known to let the little guys get away with dirty play, to make up for their other weaknesses. If a STUNTY player is caught fouling roll a D6, on a 2+ the ref lets him off with a stern talking to, much to the delight of the raucous crowd, if a 1 is rolled the ref makes an example of the poor little guy, make an immediate injury roll and apply the result.
5.2. Crowds Love the little underdogs
Any team composed mostly of stunty players always adds 1 fame to whatever fame they have as a result of the prematch rolls. (team must have less than 7 non-stunty players).
5.3. Any bodger will do!
When a team finds itself short the necessary 11 players for a kickoff, the coach can access any number of journeymen to bring the team up to 11 players. The journeymen must be from a 0-16 position that has the STUNTY skill.
When journeymen are used in this way, every player on the field is considered to have the LONER skill, due to the disruption this tactic has on their teamwork.
This represents the fact that the umpires can't tell the little blighters apart anyway, so the coaches just grab a drunk spectator from the stands, stuff him in a team jersey and give him a shove towards the nearest opposing player!
6.0 More rules for right stuff stunties.
The following rules apply to any player with the RIGHT STUFF skill.
6.1. Stuffing a Big Guy's Codpiece
Teams often find sneaky ways to get an extra player onto the pitch, when setting up, each big guy (ogre, troll, krox) may sneak on a RIGHT STUFF player. Put the sneaky little blighter aside. Immediately after kickoff make a roll for the poor suffocating stunty, on a 2+ he may be deployed in an adjacent square. On a roll of a 1 something has gone wrong, make a casualty roll for the stunty player (D6D8).
6.2. Not far to fall
When a player with the RIGHT STUFF skill is taken down by an opposition player's use of the TACKLE skill, do not make an armour roll on the RIGHT STUFF player.
ie this applies to
A) a block resulting in defender stumbles and
B) failed dodge rolls (with DODGE reroll cancelled by TACKLE skill).
When this occurs place the RIGHT STUFF player prone but do not roll armour.
6.3. Up up and away!
A player with the THROW TEAMMATE skill may throw any adjacent player who has the RIGHT STUFF skill. If the player to be thrown is on the opposing team and is not stunned he must first make a dodge roll to avoid being picked up. If passed he remains in his current square, if failed continue with the throw. When throwing an opposing player who is not stunned a -1 modifer is applied to the throw.
6.4. Put him back in!
When a RIGHT STUFF player is knocked out of bounds the crowd throw him back onto the pitch (1D6 squares), choose direction randomly. Player will land as per the rules for throw team mate skill.
7.0 Rules for titchies
7.1. Beneath the Ref's attention
Extra players with the TITCHY skill can sneak onto the pitch hoping that the ref won't notice them. Two players can sneak on together, piggy-backing under an extra large uniform.
Roll a D6 for each pair, on a 1 they are both sent off for the duration of this drive and no replacements for them can be brought in. On a 2+ they can both be legally setup. This can be repeated with up to 5 pairs of players.
7.2. Entertainment happens
Titchy players are too small to easily grip a chainsaw, as a result kickback will occur on a 1 or a 2.
