Medical Insurance

Blitz! is a dangerous place (for a players), and often players find themselves in need of medical attention that goes beyond the scope of what on-field apothecaries can handle. Medical Insurance can be purchased a la carte by teams to supplement their medical needs come the end of the season by ensuring a team is healthy and ready to play in the upcoming season.

Teams will pay a premium each season when they acquire Medical Insurance (during Draft Week). Based on the premium paid, teams will have access to medical care up to the coverage amount purchased. This medical care will cover players in the upcoming season from injury.

How it works: Teams can have any combination of players who’s salary does not exceed the coverage purchased, healed of their injuries they gained during the season after paying their deductible.

Example: A team purchases $200,000 worth of coverage for $130,000 in premium. During the season the same team has three players suffer injuries. The combined salaries of those players is $250,000. The team must now choose which two players it will submit a medical claim on (since they only purchased $200,000 in coverage and the combined total of players salaries is above the coverage amount). Player 1 has a salary of $110,000 and Player 2 has a salary of $80,000 ($190,000 total). The team must now pay its deductible of 5% of the total salary: $9,500. Once this is paid, the two players are cured of their injuries and returned to full health.

Premiums / Coverage

• $50,000 / $100,000
• $65,000 / $130,000
• $100,000 / $150,000
• $130,000 / $200,000
• Additional coverage can be purchased in $10,000 increments ($300,000 max coverage) for every $10,000 in additional premium.
• $210,000 in coverage for $140,000 in premiums, etc.

Deductible

• 5% of treated players salary

Medical Insurance does not cover dead players.

Personal Trainer

Some players need personal attention to get them where their coaching staff wants them to be. Sometimes, other players just need a little extra help coming back from an injury or that little boost to get them to the next level.

How it works: Teams are able to hire one personal trainer per team for one of their players that is on the starting roster at the beginning of the season. If this player is alive at the end of the season, and did not suffer any set-backs (perm injuries or niggles) during the season, they may/will have one of their stats increased at the end of the season. This stat increased occurs prior to the coach determining if they are returning (prior to signing bonuses etc).

• Personal Trainer: $150,000 for 1 season (max 1 trainer per team)
• Designated Player: Team designates the player that will work with the personal trainer.
  • Must designate what stat the personal trainer will be focusing on.
• Gains: 
  • No Perm Injury: Player gains a stat increase that the coach specified when they hired the personal trainer. This stat increase happens immediately at the end of the regular season (or post if the team made it to the post season) and before any other actions are taken place for the player.
  • Perm Injury: The personal trainer has been working on the injury and the player has made a full recovery. They are healed of the injury they sustained, but do not get a stat increase.

Roaring Fans

Roaring Fans.

You can buy Cheerleaders to increase the amount of money you receive from season payments.

• Cost – 30k per season for a Cheerleader Dressing Room and the cost of the Cheerleaders in-game (which will count towards team tv).

For every Cheerleader bought, fan sales will increase during the regular season. This is worked out as Number of Cheerleaders x FF after Game week 7 (regular season only), and then this is multiplied by 5 to arrive a total cash of the extra sales.

Team service can be acquired during Registration Week. In each season that the Youth Team is active (INCLUDING the season it is acquired), between the Drop Phase and Draft Periods, your scouts go to work.

1. Roll a D6 for the Race in the Coalition the player belongs to (adjusting roll depending on number of races. e.g. 2 races – 1-3, 4-6 / 3 races 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 / 5 races – RR a 6).
2. Roll a D6 for which Position they play (no Linemen, these players are potential superstars!). (same process for rolls).
3. Roll a D6+1 for which Level the player comes into your team at. 
4. For each Level, roll a D6 for the Skill Area in which they’re showing potential ( 2 – General, 3 – Agility, 4 – Passing, 5- Strength, 6 – Characteristic). A roll of 1 is re-rolled.
5. The Coach then gets to pick the skills from the areas that they have rolled for. E.g. Roll – Skaven / Roll – Gutter Runner / Roll – Level 3 / Roll (twice) Passing and Strength = Coach picks one passing and one strength skill for this player.

The Youth Player MUST then join the team IN ADDITION to the 5 kept players, before the draft.
