Here it is!

Creating it in game as we speak.

Everyone can join AS LONG AS YOU ARE JOINING WITH A BRAND NEW TEAM. Have fun. Remember, you will only be able to join Season #4 with a 1250 team.

In order for a team to be able to join the Main League coming from the Feeder it has to:

- have not more than 1250 TV
- have ZERO cash available (you can waste excess money on Assistant coaches and Cheerleaders and then fire the extra ones)
- have 11 players
- having played only and exclusively in f13 endorsed Leagues.

It is possible to demote a team from the Main League to the Feeder League, but again always remember that if any of your teams play even a single match out of the f13 circuit that team is banned for life and death. Also, a team that played in the Main League, and then got demoted in the Feeder, can only join the Main League IF its TV is 1250 or less and all that jazz. Meaning, no matter who you are, the rules to go from Feeder to Main are the usuals.


Plus, we can change the rules at any given time. So don't commit too much towards that exploit you are thinking of right now.

The name of the League in game is: f13 MatchMaking Feeder League
The league password is:



The League can be found in BBManager too, but it goes without saying it is NOT necessary to upload anything there. This League is not really competitive, and there is no prize (in game or out game) for the winning team. You can still upload your replays on BBManager if you feel like it, but it's not mandatory. The password to upload is the same you use to join. So not the same of the Main League (so you would notice in case you were uploading a replay to the wrong League).

What about more than one team?

I imagine we can pull teams in or out though?

Either way, it's a good excuse for me to start building my long-awaited Chaos team.  At least getting block on a few Beastmen will make a huge difference if I decide to play them later, and that can easily be done at 1250 or under.

I imagine we can also build our team as high as we want, TV-wise, in the matchmaking league, and just never transfer them also.  Hmmmm.

That's true. Also, you can get higher than 1250 and then fjust fire enough player to get under that score, but BEWARE! No team will be allowed in the Main League without 11 players. So basically you can't keep playing in the Feeder until you get a couple of player to Lev 7, then fire the rest of the team and play matches with jusy a bunch of Mercs + your two homegrown Star Players.

In order for a team to be able to join the Main League coming from the Feeder it has to:

- have not more than 1250 TV
- have 11 players
- having played only and exclusively in f13 endorsed Leagues.

I guess it's possible to demote a team from the Main League to the Feeder League, but again always remember that if any of your teams play even a singl match out of the f13 circuit that team is banned for life and death.

Haha, I think everybody is going to make a Chaos team.  Its the first thing that came to my mind as an alternate team to try, plus the feeder league allows you to bypass the nasty growing pains of a Chaos team.  Theres going to be a lot of Chaos come season 4.

That's true to an extent, although 1250 is still very low TV for a decent Chaos team.

Tv and not games limit is a dumb way of things, favors slow leveling teams much more.

But seeing how I'm going to put an Orc side in, I guess I'll let it slide.

My Dadaist-themed Chaos team is still hanging around in Naggaroth, but evidently there is going to be more than enough Chaos going around. I am kind of tempted to remake my R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf team for the feeder league, but given that they hit 1500 TV after only four games I am kind of skeptical about being able to whittle such a team down to qualify for a transfer longer-term.

I have a Khemri team lying around that will join up, I don't see myself ditching my precious dwarves for the Real League so it doesn't really matter to me what limits, etc., we set.

Hear hear. (See previous comment about the rather eye-bulging TV-to-games-played ratio of my Dark Elf team in Nagg. 125 TV per game, which if replicated in the feeder league would mean two games before the cap.)

I dunno, I feel weird about letting in teams from here to the main league at all but it's not my call. I figured it was mainly there just so we could randomize and play each other.

It probably cant hurt too much, given the general dominance of the established teams this season in the league, plus it can help people try a team out before they join the league with it. As long as the new teams are still a ways behind the oldest teams of the league I think I'm ok with it.

The Ex-Presidents of Doom are victorious!  Chester A. Arthur scores the first TD of the league, and I have my revenge against Falconeer.  Praise be to Nuffle!

Also, a TV limit will probably mean people will not get rerolls and apoth and extra players until they join the league, just storing their money instead. Easy to cut down on 300 or more TV that way...

I have a Necro team in the Auld World Cup that has only ever played one game (versus Hoax in a 'friendly'). Can that join the league?

Personally, I don't have any plans to transfer the Ex-Presidents.  I already have an orc team that I can bring back in, and my current Skavens.  I just wanted a matchmaking league to play against other f13ers.  It'll likely be my new Auld World league.

Just to clarify. We called it feeder cause it is "possible" to transfer a team from this League to the Main One, but the conditions are restrictive and punishing for a reason. As some of you pointed out, 1250 is a very low score and it takes nothing to surpass it. I think people should see this League as a way to get friendly games more easily, which eventually MIGHT lead to a transfer to the Major League. I suggest you people don't try to stay under 1250, just play away. And eventually, later, at some point, try to do your minmaxing to see if you can do anything good enough to stay within the 1250. You can get as high as you want with TV in the Feeder League, you only have to cut down to 1250 if you want to transfer.

And no IainC, I'd say no to your transfer, sorry. Let's make things easier by avoiding exceptions of any kind.

And I accepted all applications so far.

My Dark Elf team, Other People, has applied to join the league, though why a bunch of barely-armoured elves would want to throw in with a league entirely made up of slavering, mutated beastmen is unclear.
