Good, with Hoax we only miss Celer and Kail. I hope you can do it in the next 22 hours as I am planning to do the group sorting by tomorrow night, and I am tempted to make a cheesy video out of it. Very cheesy. So maybe not.

Do it. It should involve all sorts of FIFA mocking with tiny plastic balls in vases and shit. Or is that UEFA? Either way world football has some fuckstupid seeding rituals.

Just played a hilarious game. Pro vs Undead. Attached is the replay. Keep an eye on two things. The Pro Elves Dodge rolls, and the Undead Injury rolls. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/193068/Undead%20v%20Elves.dbI think it highlights just how much this game can be about luck sometimes, and how being lucky in some areas isn't always enough to balance out the lack of luck in others.

Yeah, I just had a ruthless game as Skaven against a very young Chaos team that, at most, had only added block to a few beastmen. The coach made every mistake in the book: ran at the ball with low agi players lacking sure hands first thing without marking it at all, wasted blitzes against players that he could have tackled normally, and placed assists where they wouldn't add any dice to a tackle. At the end of the first half though I only had three teammates left uninjured or unKO'd after he scored a tying TD. On the first turn of the second half he badly injured three Skaven in a row and KO'd a fourth. I made all the right moves (and almost finished with a tie due to some lucky dodges), but rolled double 1s routinely while he lucked out on injury rolls. It was a bloodbath deemed necessary by Nuffle, and now I'm honestly considering whether or not this Skaven team is even worth playing anymore or if I should just start a new one from scratch because so many are beat up or injured. It's just the way things go sometimes and all you can do is throw your arms up, and watch the trainwreck. God knows I've done it to others before.

It's best when you throw you hands up and laugh. The guy whose team I destroyed decided to take it that way and in the end we were wondering what would happen if I cleared the field and he didn't have enough/any players to fill the line at kick off.
Also is necromancer not working? I got another unit I thought, but it's not in my roster afterwards?

Once this season is up and running, we should encourage people to jump onto the f13 mumble for their matches. There is nothing quite like playing Blood Bowl while hearing your opponent's sobs of despair.

What's that? Teamspeak server or something? Yeah, that could be fun. I'm up for it.
Is this the one?

I'm going to assume Falconeer fixed one particular group 1 match up because that's awesome. Hope one of you has an away strip handy for match 5.

More than half my matches are against one form of undead or another.
Actualy group 1 isn't much nicer - the draw has given us two dodgy groups and two bashy groups.

THE CALENDAR YOU ARE SEEING IN GAME IS NOT THE CORRECT ONE!
That's randomized by the computer without taking into account our seedings. So scartch that. I made the groups, and you'll see them in a couple of hours. Be patient!
Sorry for the anticlimax of having fake-grouping leaked, but I had to "start the season" to begin fiddling with the seed manager tool.

All major tournaments have a trial draw followed by breathless speculation of what would have happened if that were a real draw - we're just stepping up.

Not enough. Also what's the seeding exactly? Each group gets a playoff team. Three groups get two veteran teams and one gets one veteran team in addition. Then what happens with the three returning with new team coaches?
-randomly seeded along with new coaches? -put into 3 separate divisions? -two of them are automatically placed in the division that only has one playoff vet team plus one vet team?
I rushed home to find this stuff out!

I gather the first vase has the four semi-finalists, the second vase has the remaining 10 returning coaches (regardless of new or returning teams), the third vase has everyone else.

We could be looking at some real cakewalk versus group of death setups if that's the case. I'm not even sure that is a bad thing.

Well I must say I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out those weren't the real groups. Though it was less about being in group 3 and more about looking at group 4 and being like 'wow, if I could have guaranteed THAT draw I'd have rolled Skaven after all'.
