Executive Directive
The B7 tournament uses the official Blood Bowl 3 2025 Rulebook together with Death Zone, pages 90 to 97. All participants play under those core rules plus the tournament protocols summarized below.
Format
Injuries and deaths do not carry over. Teams reset before each game and there is no player development between rounds.
Round 1 is random. Later rounds pair coaches with similar records, with rematches avoided whenever possible.
