You don't have time to commit a whole evening to a single game of Blood Bowl ?
You are a firm believer in swift and brutal justice on the pitch ?

I'd be interested in this.
Does 40second turns help Strength teams or Agile team more though?

You definitly won't be able to move all your players or bash all the players you want, so I am not sure. I rolled a generic High Elf team for this league. |

My gut instinct is it will favor teams with more of their power concentrated in a few positionals - ie the ones with a few good guys and a horde of crappy linemen who don't matter that much. It also will favor (relative to a regular league) turnover-prone teams, since a turnover will hurt relatively less because your opponent probably won't be able to move all his guys again anyway. Having good agility on the few good positional players will probably be important because you won't have time to knock everyone down and will thus probably have to make more dodges. In other words it is the perfect league for vampires.  |

No, it's exactly like the other league, but turns are 40 seconds instead of 2 or 4 minutes. |

40sec became A Thing back in the waning days of Dark Elf edition. I got amazingly good at finishing my turns.

No, it's exactly like the other league, but turns are 40 seconds instead of 2 or 4 minutes. It does feel a bit like playing an RTS, though.  (not ever having even started a real-time game so far) |

Wait, is this going to allow randoms? I don't want to have to schedule with randoms.  |

I don't understand how I am supposed to arrange matches each day with randoms. Randoms that have the possibility to just up and disconnect when things don't go their way...

It favours passing teams big time, IMO.
It favours teams who can punish turnovers and make risky plays (Read Elves.) But it'll be good fun |

Oh, I took his "have to" to mean "required" - stupid French, leaking into my non-work activities! |

Eh, what the hell. Maybe it'll teach me to stop running out of time every damn turn in the other leagues.

As far as I understood, you guys just have to be online at the same time to have a match. |

Err, yes. I was expecting a structured league. Makes it a lot easier to get a game going I would have thought.

Gruntle challanged me via Steam for the very first match of the season. High Elves vs Halflings.
3-0, 4 dead lings (and 3 Badly Hurt and 3 KO'ed) and 1 dead helf (and another one out for the next game).
40 seconds makes the game very fas4...45 minutes at most. A brutle game, with a halfling being killed every 3 turns or so, and one of my very expensive catchers. The other catcher got the Dodge skill, and one my Bltizers rolled +1ST, which will make him very likely to be my stuff ball carrier killer. I replaced the catcher with a thrower, and I'm down 1 player next game.
I'm available to play in US prime time, or any time Tue/Wed/Thurs.

Err, how do you FIND someone to play? There's no in game way of seeing who else is in the league that I can see.

Could be that challenges aren't enabled? |
