This page presents all required rules and guidelines to successfully organize a NAF-approved tournament.
Rules for NAF Tournaments 2024
Annually, the NAF release rules for tournaments that will take place during the following calendar year. This process is intended to reduce confusion and to provide a stable, easy reference point for Tournament Organisers (TOs) and attendees. While TOs are welcome to include house rules at their tournaments, the NAF rules serves as the baseline from which tournaments should begin in order to attain NAF sanctioning.
The Rules for NAF Tournaments 2024 are available as a web page or a downloadable PDF:

NAF Tournament Approval Guidelines
This document, also known as the Sanctioning Document, details the rules and procedures applicable to submitting a tournament to the NAF and applying for sanctioning. Once you have decided to organise a Blood Bowl tournament and have settled the specific details (namely when, where and what ruleset you will use for your tournament), you can apply to the NAF for sanctioning. We ask that TOs check the relevant forums and tournaments section for any possible clashes with previously announced tournaments.
