The Veteran Coach Tournament is another popular tournament for the teams that can’t make it into the divisional rounds. Each season, the league picks one of the veteran coaches on their staff to go and help train the new coaches on the teams. In order to find out what team deserves to get the services of such a seasoned coach, they hold a tournament with the winner getting the benefits of years of Blood Bowl experience. There is also a cash prize for the winners to help them out on the road to the top.
The winning team gets 60,000 gp, and the losing team gains 30,000 gp plus their normal winnings for the match. With the veteran coach joining the team, he also brings along a large reputation from his years coaching a team of his own. Any team with a veteran coach may add an additional point of Fan Factor, from the veterans small but loyal group of fans. They also get the benefit of his years of coaching and may also use him as an assistant coach (add +1 assistant coach). Not only can he coach, but also he has learned how to motivate the team and the fans alike (add +1 cheerleader). Because the Veteran Coach adds an assitant coach and a cheerleader, his cost his technically 20K, but he doesn't add any more TR than that. Though his greatest benefit to the team is his ability to help the team get better through his experience. The team may re-roll any post-game roll on the roll of a 4+ (exactly the same as a pro roll, but only for post game rolls). The veteran coach is getting on in his years, so he may only attempt one re-roll per game. Rolls that can be re-rolled are : Winnings, MVP awards, skill rolls and Fan Factor rolls. Note that the Veteran Coach cannot be affected by the Sorry and Sorry Sir! cards. The Veteran Coach will remain with the winning team for one season.
