Rules Pack
Special event rule (‘Halfling Streaker’)
At the start of each team’s turn, when there is no streaker on the pitch, roll a d6. On a 1-5 continue with your turn as normal. On a roll of a 6, a streaker will enter the field.
Streaker
- MA: (s)
- ST: 2
- AG: 3+
- PA: 5+
- AV: 6+
- Stunty, Sure hands.
- Special: Greased! – The streaker ignores tackle zones when moving and cannot be held by tentacles. Nor can he be “chomped”
Rosters submissions
Rosters must be finalised on TourPlay by 15th November.
