From Cyanide pre-release publicity for Blood Bowl 2 it is apparent that they are making some rule changes to the game. So far we are aware of a new race (Bretonnians) and at least one positional change (Human Catchers becoming AV8).
The rules for NAF Sanctioning of a tournament remain the same. It is assumed that the Competition Rules Pack (CRP) plus the three new races will be used. Any deviation from this basic standard needs to be stated in the rules pack that is submitted to the Tournament Director before the tournament is sanctioned. If the changes to the basic standard are deemed to take the tournament too far away from CRP then the tournament will not be sanctioned.
Tournaments may be sanctioned if the rules pack includes a new race (Khorne, Brettonians, Apes) or any changes to the rosters (inc new Star Players), but this is at the Tournament Director’s discretion.
Matches against non-official races are not currently included in the database, so do not count for rankings. The rankings will be ported to the new website, which is currently in development, and at this point a decision will be made about the inclusion of any new races.

The AV8 may be a mistake though. Darkson and myself are questioning them on it repeatedly on twitter atm.
It is unlikely to be a mistake, from what we understand.
well that’s just bunkum then.
Maybe they have taken a look at Plasmoid´s CRP+ http://www.plasmoids.dk/bbowl/NTBB.htm. AV 8 for human catchers is one of his proposed rule changes
Yes, that is pretty much definite.
Oh well, my minimal interest in BB2 has just decreased. Suppose it’s time to get into FUMBBL.
Av8???
Have the at least asked to someone who actually plays the game?
realistically, I think av8 catchers could help boost humans to be a more viable team
If a team is altered, (Humans for example)…. Counts it as a official race???? are they included in the database?
Thanks for the question. At the moment no, as per the previous NAF statement altered teams are not allowed in NAF tournaments.
