There are a few points in the new rules that need amended for League Plan
Modifying Dice Rolls: Dice may be modified below 1, or above 6. Treat any passing roll of less than 1 as a Fumble.
Team Management: The rules say to Hire new Players then Fire Players. This prevents replacing injured players with a Rookie. As part of Hiring Players you may replace (i.e. fire and then immediately hire) any player on the team.
Star Players - Estelle la Veneaux: may only use her Baleful Hex Special Rule on an adjacent player not one who is five squares away.
For those Coaches who have been playing Season Two Rules:
Secure The Ball: This is a new Action that allows a Player to Pick Up the Ball on a 2+ and then end their activation. This roll is only modified by Weather as it is not an Agility Test.
Passing: Wildly Inaccurate and Deflections have been removed. Throw-in's no longer bounce and there is no negative modifier for catching the ball during the kick-off (unless it bounces into a players square).
Push Back: When a Chain Push happens the player pushed back is considered to have been pushed by the player moving into their square not the active player. This matters for some skill uses.
Actions: Throw Team-Mate and Pass are separate actions and you can do both in a turn. During a move action players may Jump as many times as they wish.
Skills: There is a new Devious Skill Category where some skills like Dirty Player have been moved. Also their as several new skills including Taunt, Eye Gouge and Hit and Run. Claws and Mighty Blow are back to working even if the Player is Knocked Down.
Casualty Table: Has been changed. 1-8 is now Badly Hurt.
Stalling: There are now rules for stalling (not scoring when you can do so without rolling dice). Take care or the crowd will throw a rock at the ball carrier!
Prayers: Prayers to Nuffle are now an Inducement purchased at the start of the game.
Kick Off: Cheering Fans now gives a bonus assist to your first block of the turn. Blitz has now been renamed "Charge" you can now use skill re-rolls but not Team Re-Rolls during a Charge. You have to declare all the players that will act before activating any of them.
While I do not personally agree with all the decisions the NAF have made it will be easier for people playing in the league if we just have one view of the rules and it is consistent across both League and Tournaments. As such see the NAF-FAQ-for-BB2025_v20260115_A4.pdf document for rulings.
