Gaining Coach Traits:
After playing a league game (not a finals, semi-finals, or quarter-finals match, both coaches will gain one Coach Trait. Each coach rolls 2 eight-sided dice and compares that total score on both dice with the Coach Traits table to see what Coach Trait they have gained. If the coach already has that Coach Trait, they can choose one trait they do not have. That Coach Trait is then available to that coach until the end of the league, and should be recorded on their coach roster. Each Coach Trait a coach gains gives them a special ability that can be used once per game.

3 – # Kit: After making an Armour check, you can re-roll the dice.
4- Threatening Looks: Before an opponent makes a Block action, roll an eight-sided dice; on a 6 or better, that opponent must make a Sidestep action instead. If they cannot make a Sidestep action, that opponent cannot make anymore actions this turn.

6- Last Blast: During your last turn, if your team has fewer points than the other team, you can shuffle the Endgame Challenges that were not used to make this match’s Challenge deck, draw one and place it face up in front of you.
