Teams are built with 1,150,000 gold pieces, and you may spend that on players, rerolls, fan factor, assistant coaches, cheerleaders, an apothecary and inducements. Only inducements from the 2025 rulebook are permitted, and mercenaries, wizards and prayers to Nuffle are not allowed. If you hire a Star Player, you must first roster 11 players. The Highlander rule applies, so opponents cannot field the same star in the same game. Coaches using a star should explain that player’s Special Rule to their opponent and track its use. Teams should be fully painted, positionals clearly identifiable, all players numbered and any chosen skills visibly marked. Tiers and skill budgets are in effect: Tier 1 teams receive 36 SPP and may add one Star Player, Tier 2 receive 42 SPP and one star, Tier 3 receive 50 SPP and one star, Tier 4 receive 56 SPP and may include two stars, and Tier 5 receive 64 SPP and may include two stars. Primary skills cost 6 SPP and secondary skills cost 12 SPP, with no stat increases allowed. There is no limit on skill types except for Elite skills, which are capped at four of each type. A second Primary on the same player is allowed and counts as a selected Primary for a total of 14 SPP, but you cannot stack a Primary and a Secondary on one player, and you cannot add skills to Star Players. Stars cost an additional 12 SPP beyond their fee, while Mega Stars such as Griff Oberwald, Hakflem Skuttlespike, H’Thark the Unstoppable, Ivan Deathshroud, Morg ’n’ Thorg, Dribl and Drull, Grak and Crumbleberry, Jeremiah Kool and Jordell Freshbreeze cost 24 SPP, and only one Mega Star is allowed. A special twist labeled for Round 2 features the Avatar of Akhorne. During Round 1, coaches may select a lineman to use Akhorne the Squirrel’s profile for that round, and bringing a suitable Akhorne model is strongly encouraged. Play consists of three rounds at 2 hours and 20 minutes each, with a one hour lunch break after the first game. During lunch, teams will be displayed for a best painted review by a panel of judges, and there are several nearby spots in the plaza for food. Awards include best coach, runner up, most casualties, best painted team and additional spot prizes. To register, send the organizer a message on Facebook. Fees will be collected on the day, and more details will be shared closer to the event.

It is designed for people who feel stuck in repeating patterns, overwhelmed or burned out, often in their heads, or aware they are meant for more but unable to fully access it. Rather than offering surface-level relief, it provides a small, guided experience that blends subconscious reprogramming and hypnotherapy, yoga and breathwork, nervous system regulation, somatic release and embodiment work, and energy healing through Reiki and HypnoReiki, with intentional time for integration and reflection. Across the two days, participants move through grounding and intention setting, gentle morning movement, deep subconscious and emotional release, somatic sessions that support letting go, practical regulation tools to use in everyday life, sound healing, and space to reset and reconnect. Amenities include access to a sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, and quiet natural areas for integration. The focus is on letting go of what has been weighing people down so they can return to a clearer, calmer, more aligned version of themselves. Capacity is intentionally limited for an intimate setting. Lunch, snacks, and drinks are included both days. Travel and lodging are not included, with recommendations provided. Pricing includes an early-bird option at $1,444 and a regular option at $1,555, with a $333 deposit to secure a spot and flexible payment plans available. Hosted by Aligned & Alchemy Wellness.
