Special Rules

Jingle Balls

For the first three rounds, all tables will play with the same ball rules as directed by the TO (random draw) 

• Boozy Bake

• Too Tasty

• Ticking Time Pudding

For rounds four and five, opposing coaches vote for their favourite ball rules via secret ballot. If they both choose the same, the game is 

played with the chosen ball, if they vote differently, neither coach gets their pick and the other ball is used. See Crib Sheet for ball details

Boozy Bake – The ball emits intoxicating fumes which affects any player in possession of the ball, boosting their confidence but 

impairing their judgement. Every ball carrier automatically gains Sprint and Drunkard for the current drive (this spreads to multiple 

players if the ball changes hands) mark players with tinsel / lametta moreover all affected players must stagger in a different direction 

every third step (or change direction after each two steps). The effects of this pungent liquor does not apply to players with the Skeleton

or Mummy keyword.

Too Tasty – Every time the ball is successfully caught or picked up, roll a D6. On a 1 the ball carrier gains My Ball for the drive as they 

compulsively nibble at the ball. If they remain in possession of the ball for 3+ turns, they suffer dodgy smack for the following drive. 

Players with the Undead keyword are unaffected by this ball because they care not for sweet treats.

Ticking Time Pudding - Each turn, roll D6 each time the ball carrier activates, on a 1, the ball starts ticking and will explode in place 

when it touches the floor, is dropped by a player attempting to catch it or at the end of the team turn. If a TD is scored the ball still 

explodes, potentially injuring the scorer. A replacement bake will be placed at the site of the explosion at the end of the team turn 

(caught automatically if the player is standing). Doesn’t cause a turnover if thrown at an opponent as it is a bomb. Does cause a 

turnover if thrown (aimed) at an empty square.

Santa’s Sack

All coaches attending will receive a festive gift bag containing treats, tokens and a guest star player model which will all be useable during the tournament. Full details to be provided on the day
