| The
most sought after trophy is the Bloodweiser Blood
Bowl Championship winner's trophy, commonly known as
the Blood Bowl. Originally, it was awarded to the
winners of the final match between the NFC and AFC
conference champions, but now it is awarded to the
winners of the Blood Bowl Open Tournament. Before
2461, the Blood Bowl Championship games were fairly
friendly – but competitive – affairs,
played purely to award the status of best team in the
world to the winners. With the arrival of big
business in the shape of the Bloodweiser Corporation,
however, the competition made a major stride in
popularity. The prize money and Bloodweiser
sponsorship that goes to the winners is said to be
worth over a million crowns over the course of the
following season. There is also the Blood Bowl trophy
itself, otherwise known as the Buddy Grafstein trophy
after the Bloodweiser chairman who first presented it.
It’s made from solid dwarf gold, and as such is
extremely valuable. This value has caused the
original trophy to be stolen many times, and in fact
the current one is the fourth trophy to be made! The winners of the Blood
Bowl get the trophy itself, 350,000 gp, a
complimentary Magic Helmet plus a sponsorship deal
from Bloodweiser which adds 20,000 gp to the prize
money and +1 on the Fan Factor roll for each match
that the team plays during the next season. The
runners-up receive a consolation prize of 150,000 gp
and a Magic Helmet. For the players, however, the
most important prize is the Blood Bowl player’s
medal awarded to each player (from both teams) that
participates in the final (thus, mng players are
excluded). Receiving a Blood Bowl player’s medal
is a great confidence booster, so every single player
that takes part in the Blood Bowl final counts as
have been awarded a most valuable player award and
gains 5 star player points, in addition to the most
valuable player awards that are normally handed out
for playing in the match. Some of the medals are also
magical and will help the players in gaining better
skills. Every player with a magical medal can use its
power one time in his career, to re-roll one
skill roll (like a personal Magical Playbook that can
be used anytime). 10 medals given to the winning team
are magical, but only 5 given to the finalist are,
and they are randomly given (roll randomly 10 / 5
players not mng during the game or dead at that
moment). Note that a player having a medal should
have it noted in the skills on the team sheet and
erase it once the power is used.
