Is there a list somewhere of Blood Bowl 7s results or tier rankings? I'm at a total loss for what to expect.

Blood Bowl 7s is where you have 600,000 to spend, can only buy up to 4 positional players, and can't buy rerolls.

The board is reduced a few squares in length and width, with the sidelines being reduced to just two wide. And the line of scrimmage is widened, so players don't begin in base contact.

In this tournament, you're allowed one normal/double skill on a player.

That makes me think that buying an Apothecary is a really good idea to keep bodies on the field.

I really want to play something like Necromantic, but I'm terrified of relying too heavily on zombies. Something like Dark Elves seems really strong, with block and high agility to reduce turnovers.

You can check out the NAF's tableau page. If you follow this link and set the "variants" filter to Sevens, it looks like there have been 1,572 games recorded.

Sounds super cool! No idea tho, never even heard of this kind of modifier to base blood bowl.

Apothecaries only work on a 4+ in 7s to represent the amateur nature of the game.

Skaven are terrifyingly good as they can use kickoff return to move 3 spaces closer to the TD line, bringing gutter runners into 1 turn touchdown range. AG4 teams dominate.

According to the NAF: "Seven players are set up per team, all behind their own Line of Scrimmage (LoS)", I take this to mean that Kick off return wouldn't allow you to cross the LOS as per usual?

Otherwise that's absolutely amazing!

Edit: Just re-read the rulebook and I agree with you. Blimey!

Never played, but I imagine woodies will be hella good. What's better than 2/11 of your team being the best player in the game? 2/7 of your team being the best player in the game.

'Zons too I imagine, because of the amount of strength access blodgers you can start with.

I imagine high TV mutation access teams could be pretty aids by just running heaps of tentacles and prehensile tail and covering the board, but I doubt there're enough games played to ever reach a point when you have all the mobility limiting skills you'd want and core bash skills.
