IMPORTANT: You may not buy Fan Factor for your team after it is created, and it becomes harder to gain new fans as your team's popularity grows, so don't skimp on it!Ī team's coaching staff provides vital back-up to the team's players. However, there is no limit to how high a Fan Factor may rise once your team is off the ground. Your team must have a Fan Factor of 1 at the least, and 9 at the most. Each point of Fan Factor costs 10,000 gold pieces. In addition to determining the number of fans that show up for the match, it can have important effects on the Kick-off Table. Your team's Fan Factor represents the popularity of your team. It's a good idea to take at least one or two for your team, as rookies have a bad habit of putting their own sides at a disadvantage! If you've played any games of Blood Bowl, then you know the importance of Team Re-rolls.

When you create a team, you have to pay for Team Re-rolls and Fan Factor out of your Treasury - you don't get them for free! Each Team Re-roll costs the number of gold pieces shown on your team's list, and allows you to re-roll one die roll per half, as indicated in the Game section. Within these restrictions, you may have any number and type of player, so long as you have the cash. In addition, your team must have at least 11 players, and may not have more than 16. For example, an Imperial team may not have more than two Throwers, and an Orc team may employ no more than four Blitzers. The team list also shows the maximum number of each type of player you may take for your team. Each of the players on your team will cost the number of gold pieces indicated on the team list. Having decided on your team list, you must now hire players for your team. All of the players in your team must be from the same team list (unless you are using the optional Allies rules). The first step in creating the team involves studying the team lists below and deciding which race you would like to play. This represents the cash you have managed to raise from sponsors or to collect by other, more underhanded means in order to hire the players for your team.

You have a Treasury of 1,000,000 gold pieces with which to create your team. Owners of Blood Bowl are given permission to photocopy team roster sheets for their personal use only. The pad of team rosters allows you to record the playing characteristics of your team. You can either use the plastic playing pieces provided with the game to represent the players on your team, or collect the Citadel Miniatures from your local Games Workshop store, or order them through Games Workshop's mail order service.
