The North East of England Tournament Series brings together Blood Bowl tournaments from across the region into a single, season-long competition. Each event stands on its own, but performances are tracked across the year to crown the Cock o’ the North, alongside additional awards including Stunty Cup, Most Improved, and Rookie of the Year — ensuring there’s something to play for at every level.
Don Vito wins the North-East Tournament Series 2025. He went into Monster Bash in second place but managed to steal the championship from Yudlugar with a 4th place finish. Big well done to Yudugar on a deserved win for the Series' Stunty Cup.

Most Improved Score
The Most Improved award recognises coaches who have made the greatest step forward compared to where they started, across the North East of England Tournament Series. It is intended to reward genuine development and progression, not simply high absolute scores. This award measures relative growth, not dominance.
The calculation used is: ln (B/A)
Where:
A = the coach's best series score from the previous three seasons
B = the coach's current series score
This method means that improving from a low starting score is rewarded more strongly than making a similar increase from an already high score.
Most Improved Score
Rookie of the Year is awarded to the eligible rookie coach with the highest Rookie Score across the series. It celebrates new coaches who make a strong impact in their first steps on the tournament circuit.
Rookie of the Year is determined using a coach’s Rookie Score, calculated from their results across all eligible tournaments in the series.
Rookie Score is calculated as:
Rookie Score = Total Event Scores / √(Number of Events Attended)
All eligible tournament results are included in this calculation.
The coach with the highest Rookie Score is awarded Rookie of the Year.

Alongside the mighty North East, every corner of England is rallying its bruisers, blitzers, and beard-twirling benchwarmers for their own Tournament Series. And soon, they’ll all collide in one almighty showdown…
The Inter-Series Cup!
At this clash of regional powerhouses, each area will field a team of its top trophy-hunters—champions forged on tabletops across the land—ready to smash, scheme, and score their way to glory in a full team event. The carnage kicks off in Sheffield on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th March 2026.
Over the coming weeks we’ll find out whether the North East can muster a warband worthy of the challenge—or if they’ll be sent back to the dugout before the whistle even blows.
And for those who prefer to fight alone, fear not! Running alongside the main mayhem is a singles event open to all coaches from any region. Anyone can step up, roll the dice, and write their own legend.
