Pre-season open play and registration has begun and regular season play will begin on Feb 8th.

League schedule will be posted on the 8th both here and at the store

There will be probably 8-10 regular season games followed by a 2-3 game playoffs.

You will have 2 weeks to get with your scheduled opponent and play.

You can also find unofficial games every Wednesday down here at the store around 6 or 7pm.

The league will be using the Living Rule Book version 4.

I will have a store copy very soon (before reg season) and all store computers have it bookmarked!

NOTE: The only change to the rules is Advancements. Instead of the regular star player points system, we will used a FIXED advancement schedule for all teams, so that they get new skills at the same rate.
After each game you get 1 Advancement Point to spend or save (you must decide at the end of your game).

Those points can be spent in the following ways:
1 pt = One Regular Skill
2 pts = One Doubles Skill or Trait
3 pts = One Movement Increase
4 pts = One Agility Increase
5 pts = One Strength Increase
+1 pt per Increase already taken on that Player (Eg. +2 if he already has taken 2 Advancements)

Keep track of regular Star Player Points anyway as they are needed for Team Rating still (you just don't get advancement rolls as normal).

Also leave a UP-TO-DATE copy of your roster at the store at all times, in the Blood Bowl Folder.

Standings, Stats and Schedules will be posted here on the website.

Painted Miniatures! Although not required to play they help get bystanders interested easier, so if your team is not painted you will not be eligible for the Playoffs. So start finishing your team as you only have around 20 weeks to get them finished

This is meant to be fun so please enjoy yourselves, and remember that it is only a game.

Later Mike

Great, I'll stop by sometime this week and order a Lizardman team. Are we using the Handicap table before games based on the team rating then?

More questions!

Are we going to use the Aging rules? And will the league have any special rules awards for MVP? I think it be fun to give the team who employs the highest SPP player some extra cash. Maybe 5K + 1FF at the midway point and 10K + 1FF before the playoffs? Otherwise, there's an incentive to avoid SPP to keep your TR low. If you're already blowing someone out, why keep scoring if all it does is make your TR higher?

Aging Rules? Yes
MVPs? Normal

I like the idea of awarding the players or teams with Star Players!

So here it goes.

All End of the Season Stat Leaders (ties don't count) will earn their team 10k in gold and +1 Fan Factor per category that they lead. This will occur between the last regular season game and the first playoff games.

The categories are:
Completions (accurate throw caught by target player)
Casualties (block casualties only)
Touch Downs
Interceptions (interception roll only)
MVPs (still random)
Star Player Points

Guess I freed enough of my budget to get me a team! No borrowing minis for me ! Be in this week to register

Alright Scottish Jon, can't wait to be paired against an oldworlder!

Yay new people to lose against! Now I will get the new experiences from losing to you people and not jsut Ron, great.

Your post mentions pre-season, is anything going on in the pre-season or are we going to start with fresh teams come feb 8th?

Pre-season is just open play to learn or relearn how to play blood bowl
So all teams will be TR100 at the start of week 1.

********NOTE********

We have a large group of players that are possibly interested (6 or 8 more players),
but I may push the start of the league back on week if we need to to!
As most of them are pretty new and will be Ordering teams this week.

Pay attention here as I will keep everyone posted on this potential change.
