After an amazing Big V 2022 that surpassed ALL my expectations, The Big V will return in 2023, bigger and better than ever.

There have been minor tweaks and improvements made to not only the ruleset, but the event in general in a bid to make The Big V even bigger and better than previous years. 
 

So, what has changed for 2023?

1. New, central venue and location. The Big V will now truly represent Melbourne and Victoria with a new - and larger - CBD venue

​

2. New date. The Big V has returned to a November timeslot (as per previous Big V's) so as to avoid a clash with the 2023 NAF World Cup in Alicante, Spain

​

3. New, earlier starting time of 9am on both days

​

4. Four games on day one, followed by two games on day two, allowing more time on day two for coaches (especially our interstate visitors) to return home after the tournament

​

5. New, dedicated website. All the rules, info, registrations and ticket purchases have been centralised in one brand new Big V website

​

6. Minor rules tweaks, including:

​

• Addition of a Tier 4 (with more SPPs), and slight tweaking of the other tiers

• Re-instatement (from earlier Big V tournaments) of additional Stunty/Tier 4 teams, including Skinks, Underworld Goblins and Goblin Bruisers
   

7. Expanded Squad Challenge, with additional awards for best themed Squad

​

8. New perpetual trophies for Stunty King and Foreign Invader

​

1. All rosters should follow the same format

3. Please include your NAF name and number

4. Please submit your roster as below.

Note, the TO will not supply any rosters on the day, the coaches MUST bring their own.

 

NAF SANCTIONED

The Big V 2023 is an officially sanctioned NAF tournament. Coaches do not need to be NAF Members to participate, but NAF Members will receive ranking points for participating.

The NAF (www.thenaf.net) is an international association of players dedicated to Blood Bowl. Coaches can become a NAF Member during the tournament at a cost of $15 AUD ($5 will go to the tournament and help fund the next event, whilst $10 will go to NAF), and will received the current year NAF gift (either a set of Block dice or a set of d6 plus coin) upon joining.
