Tournaments versus headlines

By VanTramp2, in Blood Bowl: Team Manager

We played our first game tonight with two player rules, meaning we only had four rounds of tournaments, including the blood bowl. I'm clear on how to win match-ups, but couldn't dig up any clear explanation in the rule book about how the winner of the tournament is determined (including the blood bowl). After determining the match-up winners and payouts, are you meant to tally totals on each side from all highlights to determine the winner/loser? (including the cheating tokens towards each teams SP?). Thanks guys in advance!

The tournament is treated like a normal highlight (with the exception that it is not limited to 2 players fighting over the win).

This means:

To win / participate at the Tournament you actually have to place units there (and a ball at the beginning on the tournament card.)

So for 2 players you always fight at 3 highlights.

the 2 drawn ones (plus the 2 you discard) AND the tournament

You also ignore the 2nd Place payout on Tournaments.

Thanks - that makes sense now!
