Resurrection tourny rules

Teams and star players from all published BB2020 Rules Supplements and the NAF 2024 Document will be allowed. Any new Supplements that are published by October 1 2024 will be available for use so long as they are in Tourplay.

Teams will resurrect at the end of each game. No SPPs, injuries or any roster changes carry over between games

The 4 minute time limit will be enforced. Each coach may use one timeout per half for an extra 4 min on those dramatic, big turns. There will be a chess clock on each table. If the timer runs out, finish the currently activated player's action and end your turn.

Games will have a maximum length of 2 hours 30 minutes. In the unlikely event that a game exceeds 2.5 hrs, time is called, the dice are down and the match is over. There will be no OT.

Players must agree on cocked die rules, the use of dice cups at the start of the match. Dice sharing is allowed and required by NAF rules if your opponent requests it.

If there are any disagreements or rules disputes, tournament directors will be standing by to assist.
