The Northeast Blood Bowl Network (NEBBN) Tournament Series runs from January 1st to December 31st and is intended to promote travel and greater participation in Blood Bowl Events throughout New York, New Jersey and all of the New England states. The NEBBN TS is sanctioned and sponsored by the NAF. Any disputes or clarifications will be handled by the NAF’s Tournament Series Coordinator, a position currently held by Topas.

Coaches will receive points for placements and the number of attended tournaments. To be eligible coaches must be NAF members prior to event attendance. Scores are tracked by the series organizers and the coaches can receive honors and awards based on their overall performance.

In 2026, the NEBBN TS will retain its structured format. Only specific BB2025 events in the region will be eligible to take part in the series in 2025. There will still be other NEBBN events taking place outside of the tournament series. Variant tournaments like sevens and Dungeon Bowl are automatically excluded. At the end of the year, any new events taking place in the region may request consideration to be added in 2027. There will be a review process looking at factors including event attendance, and geographic coverage. The intent of the series is to promote a greater sense of community in the Northeastern United States while encouraging travel and overall attendance. Once a tournament is completed, results should be reported to the NAF as normal and submitted to the TSO (Rob Fossey/Melifaxis) in an electronic format within 14 days.
  • An Excel file or Google Sheet with the following information is required for each event:
    • Coach Name, NAF ID and Number
    • Coach Record (W/D/L),
    • Race played with names of Stars included/or none for not included
    • TDs (For/Against) for each match
    • Casualties (For/Against) for each match
    • Scoring for all attendees using the scoring system for the event (this system must be published online prior to the event)
    • Fouls attempted by each participant
    • Passes attempted by each participant (including the ball only - no bombs - no TTM without the ball)

Note that any non-classic Stunty teams should be explicitly mentioned to the tournament organizer (e.g., Lizardmen without Saurus, Black Orcs without Orcs, and Underworld without Skaven).

Coaches are only eligible for points if they are NAF members prior to attending an event. Rankings will be created from earning points with placement during tournament events and bonus points for attending multiple events and/or organizing events. Please note that all scoring will be driven by pure NAF results. If a TO “shares the wealth” at an event, that does not happen in the tournament series standings. Most Touchdowns is the highest Mathematical number at the event even if that person was also the event champion.

There will be three main rankings which will be tracked: Main Rankings, Stunty Rankings, and Achievement Rankings. Each of these has an individual score that will be tracked by coach.

Each coach’s Main Score will be determined as the maximum point total from their best 5 tournaments plus their Organizer bonus points (maximum of 2 bonus points for the year).

For each event attended, Base+Placement+Round=Main Score

  • Should there be fewer than 10 coaches, the maximum score equals the total number of participants, and the following places decline as usual.

Achievement scoring is separate from the main and stunty scoring. They do not count towards those ranks.

The NAF will be providing prizes for the individuals that place 1st – 3rd in the main rankings and the Top Stunty coach. Additional prizes and or trophies may be awarded by NEBBN as well.
