I'm willing to try again, hopefully nothing comes up this time. Humans still available? If so I'd like to sign up with a similar team, the Wissenland Wrestlers.

Either one is fine, but I'd prefer the training tourney as it's a fresh team.

EDIT: Actually just checked the TVs of the main league and... Nope nope nope. I am 100% waiting for the Training tourney to finish lol.

Humans are good to go in the training league!

Well. After my rats got so creamed by Slaya I'm not so in love with the idea of advancing them.
I just realized that you did that to my rats with your lizards when they were in the Training League, xp.

We going to have a team limit this season?
I don't mind abolishing the team limit completely as we seem to get a decent spread of teams anyways, and playing a load of goblin v goblin matches could be fun/funny for all involved. Also, my dwarves could have so much fun in a goblin league, xD

Hey, I'm not winning it this year, and I didn't win last season, and the season before that was Ogres, and who plays them in a Tournament of Champions setting? I think it's on you to win with your Elves this year so they can have a round with my Humans, Slaya's Khemri, and Cript's Lizardmen :P

After the championship dust has settled, there are still quite a few elves left on the pitch. Unfortunately for them they are laying on it with broken hands, dead, or Badly hurt with the SVENs holding the championship trophy on the podium.

This was the most brutal first two turns I've ever experienced. The kick-off event was a pitch invasion that left EIGHT of my players stunned on the pitch and only two of Kanil's. Kanil then proceeded to Stun another of my players and foul my 4STR 4AGI berserker and BH him (luckily for me the sneaky git dirty player got ejected). I chose to apothecary as the tackle and stats were too good to go without all game. With only two guys available to move I tried to dodge away to get a decent hit on an elf and promptly rolled double ones to hit the pitch and end my first turn. This left Kanil with 10 standing players to my 1 and let him foul and KO Sven the magnificent. He managed to stall his score until turn 4 with all the norse standing back up, but no other casualties were sustained before the first TD. The rest of the half consisted of the norse poking the elves and the elves stalling the norse. As the half neared its finish the norse managed to KO two elves, hurt a blitzer, and break through the elven line for the turn 8 TD.

The second half began with a 9-11 player advantage for the SVENs and quickly increased with the yhetee killing a 0SPP linemen, the other blitzer going down to a BH, and a few more casualties on the elves. With the elves only having 5 players left on the pitch the norse waited out the remainder of the second half and scored on turn 16 for the 2-1 victory.

In other news the training league has advanced and despite my best efforts, has messed up the seeding slightly.

As it stands, the next round is

Kanil- Broad Street Broads v Aslandus- We Move for Nobody
Monk12 - Monk's Mjollnir Makers v THE_SLAYA- SLAYA's Strönghammers

If there is any way to change this so that the seeding is correct let me know, if not we'll just have to play these match-ups

33
I'm officially opening up sign-ups for the next season of both leagues. Anyone is welcome to join simply write a post stating:

1. League (Main/Training)
2. Team Race & Name (name is optional)
3. Coach Name in Bloodbowl
4 Steam username (if desired/different)

example post

Training League
Humans, SLAYA's Standards
THE_SLAYA
same as above username

A quick reminder that only new teams will be eligible for the training league and teams in the main league must either be new or have only played in official Bay12 games.

34
That means its TRAINING LEAGUE PLAYOFFS TIME!!!!!!!!!

1. Broad Street Broads - Kanil v 8. The Sickly Soldiers - Kansa

First seeded coach Kanil's Amazons will look to dispatch the nurgles as they did in the regular season. Fresh off a bye week, the nurgle will be looking to upset the broads with their infectious play. Which team will have what it takes to make it to the tournament semis?

2. Monk's Mjolner Makers - Monk12 v 7. Sandstorm Riders - TSW1999

With his norse team, veteran coach Monk12 begins his second training league title tournament against newcomer, TSW1999 and his Khemri. This will be the first meeting of these two teams this season and should be an exciting match. Will veteran experience prevail, or will the newcomer pull off the upset with his strong Khemri?

3. We Move for Nobody - Aslandus v 6. Mr Bone's Wild Ride - Dapper Apples

Aslandus's Chaos dwarves will be looking to assert their dominance over the undead as they did in the regular season with a 2-0 victory. The Undead, winless in their last 4 matches, will be looking to regain their early season form against the Chaos dwarves to advance in this tournament. Will the Chaos dwarves push through the undead to the next round, or can the undead move the team that moves for nobody?

4. SLAYA's Strönghammers - THE_SLAYA v 5. Cript's Korinch Crew - Criptfiend
After getting off to a rocky start this season, the dwarves will be looking to continue their dominant form (winners of 5 of their last 6 games) against the skaven. The rats will be looking to run around the dwarves and earn revenge for their regular season loss. Will speed prevail, or can strength win the day?

Play your matches ASAP, as it is the playoffs, there is no real time limit but hopefully all the games can be played by next monday. In other news, start thinking about what teams you want to be playing for next season in either of the leagues as sign-ups will be open soon.

35
That means.... ITS PLAYOFF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Kanil - Shimmering Dragons v 4. Fightin Fairies - Otherplayers
The Shimmering dragons are in the hunt for their first championship after two regular seasons without a loss, they believe its about time they took home the hardware at the end of the season. Their elfy opponents will look to upset them in a battle of elfish proportions! Who can elf harder?

2. THE_SLAYA - SLAYA's SVENs v Monk's Mountebanks - Monk12
This match again? really? After last weeks match both teams will be looking for vengeance, albeit with a decent amount of missing players. Can the norse bludgeon the rats to death and claim their place in the finals, or will the rats run their way straight into the championships. Either way, it should be an exciting match!

36
Good luck, and may the team with the fewest ST4 win!

How about the team with the most, ST4 wins(:

Also, I don't know how that dang 3STR GR survived my norse team. Our first match I killed him and the apothecary saved him. This last match, I broke his collar bone and the apothecary saved him (unlike SVEN the slayer who went from dead to only having 3 STR). I also spent the last SIX turns fouling him breaking armor every time only to result in two of my players getting sent off the pitch and SIX stuns.

Maybe in our next match I'll be able to kill him for real.

37
All matches played and both weeks have been advanced to the final week!

GRUDGE MATCH WEEK!!! Even though the play-off seedings are essentially set (only kanil and I can swap positions this week) a grudge match always makes for a good game!

Week Ten Main League Match-ups are:
Aslandus - TOO SPOOKY vs Kanil - Shimmering Dragons
monk12 - Monk's Mountebanks vs THE_SLAYA - SLAYA'S SVENS
Sinistar - The Jolly Waaaaagh!abonds vs i2amroy - Fightin Fairies

The Final match-ups of the training league hold slightly more play-off standings. With 5 teams between 11&13 points, playoff seeding could go any way.
Week Nine Training League Match-ups are:
MrRoboto75 - Mr Bone's Wild Team vs Criptfeind - Cript's Korinch Crew
THE_SLAYA - SLAYA'S STRÖNGHAMMERS vs Sinistar - Da Grin Party
SpottedWobbegong - Sandstorm Riders vs Kanil - Broad Street Broads
BYE - Kansa - The Sickly Soldiers
monk12 - Monk's Mjolner Makers vs Aslandus - We move for nobody

Both leagues will advance Monday. Let me know if there are any issues.

38
My game will probably be on monday or tuesday, so perhaps hold on advancing the week.

Will do, make sure to post or pm when its finished.

SLAYA's SVENs 4-1 Monk's Mountebanks

This game could have been a lot better for monk, it also could have been a lot worse. Monk suffered from a profound lack of ball handling skills in the first half when his thrower failed four consecutive pick-up rolls resulting in two turnovers and an easy defensive TD for the SVENs to head into halftime with a 2-0 lead. The +STR GR was killed but the silly apothecary saved him. Going into the second half the Mountebanks had sustained 6-ish KO's (all of which woke up), and one BH (not including the apothecaried GR). The second half was fairly average with a few more KO's on both sides while the SVENs fractured another GR's arm, killed another, and BH a lineman. The rats did manage to score in typical skaven fashion with a run and pass down the flank.

Had the dice been kinder to monk in the first half or had my KO rolls been worse, this game would've been a lot closer. However, had a few of my 15-ish stuns/KO's been actual casualties, this game could have gone a lot worse for monk. GG WP to monk, and you can have your grudge match next week, :p.

The training league advanced last night! (just posting about it since shortly after I advanced it my internet went down for the count until a few hours ago)

-I'd say starting a dark elf team in the main league is kinda risky for most of the aforementioned reasons. However, while they are still elves, they tend to have a slightly bashier play style than the other elf teams and are slightly slower.
-As far as assassins go, I played a DE team when I was playing in a RMBBL league and started with two of them. That was a mistake mostly due to the fact that all of my opponents were high armor bashy teams. They can be extremely useful against teams that are hard to knock down but have low armor (i.e. Norse, amazon, other elves with blodge, etc) because they don't have to worry about actually rolling well.
-Based on our last match, your play is pretty decent. This could be in part due to your lucky streaks though as you seem to have a high risk high reward play style. I found this pretty evident in our match as you tried numerous dodges (as khemri no less). While these risks can make the game difficult for the opponent, I find its easier to wear teams down when you're playing as a bashy team like the khemri. Rather than trying to dodge through the enemy team to completely halt their progess, slowing them down while removing their players from the pitch or waiting for them to make a mistake/get caught out by a bad roll can be much more effective. In other words, patience is needed, especially when playing slow bashy teams.
-speaking of goblins getting SPP, the hard one to level is the looney as his chainsaw does not give SPP so he's much harder to level as the only means of gaining SPP are MVP and TD's, the latter of which is dang near impossible to complete. bombardiers and DE assassins can also be hard to level for the same reason.

All matches played and the main league has advanced!!

Week Nine (and ten) Main League Match-ups:
Kanil - Shimmering Dragons vs Aslandus - TOO SPOOKY
THE_SLAYA - SLAYA'S SVENS vs monk12 - Monk's Mountebanks
i2amroy - Fightin Fairies vs Sinistar - The Jolly Waaaaagh!abonds

I'll be advancing the league next Monday as always, let me know if there are any issues.

On a side note, Monk and I have a decent chance of playing each other in the main league the next three matches. I'm not sure if I should be excited or scared about that though, lol

43
I personally always like the killer builds because player advantages can make all the difference in the world. The fact that you have two +STR GRs just gives you all the more reason as those two will be harder to stop and can be a much bigger threat on defense as well. The stormvermin can excel at finding one tough enemy and removing them from the pitch quickly once they have Claw and MB so they don't necessarily have to stay engaged with anyone to allow for counter hits.

SLAYA's SVENs 3-1 Fightin' Fairies

This game went about as expected, The SVENS used their superior strength to muscle the elves away from the ball and hurt some elves (only one MNG and a few BH's) This let the Norse pick up a player advantage after the first few drives and capitalize on it in the second half to put the game away with their third TD.

The Main Takeaways from this game

1. SVEN (the runner but not the magnificent) scored the first TD and leveled up. He then got +STR with said level up and is now my fifth 4STR player (not including my yhetee who has 5 STR)

2. I rolled a +MV on my +STR tackle berserker but decided the move wasn't really worth it and got MB instead.

3. THE YHETEE FINALLY HAS SOME SPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 17 games of nothing but KO's SVEN the Yhetee managed to Badly hurt the treeman (apothecaried to dead but Otherplayers chose the BH like a pansy)
