Yeah, I really feel the rules for this should simply be "Make an elf team and join the league." Its not like the H&H league where everybody is taking the exact same players on every team and just skilling them differently. Restricting rerolls is just going to make it less enjoyable overall given all the other balancing factors. Though I do kind of like lucktons no blocking allowed idea. Passing and elegant dodging for all!  |

On reflection, I think I'll play in this one. I really hated the Horns and Hooves, but I've been meaning to try a Dark Elf team, and what better way to do that than against other fruity elves?

Yeah, this league will be nothing like H&H (though I loved H&H). One shouldn't decide against joining based upon that experience.
All beastman Chaos teams essentially just butt heads until someone wins. All Elf competitions, I imagine, are pretty much the opposite of that...unless you play against Gruntle, apparently.

Why would anyone get shadowing?

It tends to fuck over pieces that try to dodge away often (like elves)?

Also if someone isn't paying attention and clicks for the whole move rather than one square at a time, they suddenly find that they need to make a whole lot of dodges instead of just the one.

' Blodge+SideStep+Tackle+Shadowing on a GR/Elf Catcher? You have a pretty insane marker right there which forces multiple roles from the opponent, and really the only way to make an agi team fail is to sack the thrower or force dice-rolls (or simply knock them all out). I once had a Block + 2MV (8) + Shadowing + Stand Firm Orc Blitzer, he was pretty mean and added a new dimension to the team :) |
So the kids on the internet say that you're a big noise?

When you have the same MV shadowing only works 40% of the time. Ok I guess. But best with a MV advantage, so mostly for Wood Elf catchers I would think. |

Ruvaldt made his case to me about allowing teams from this League to be imported in the main one.
I have nothing against it, but admission to the Main League will still follow the usual rules, 1300 TV, no money, NO GAMES outside of the f13 ring. WHat is gonna happen here is that the ElfBowl is becoming part of the f13 ring, so teams playing in it are eligibile for Main League consideration by the usual Feeder League rules.
Objections?

Or me, should I choose to join (still deciding). Remember, I play my elves like they're Norse. |

Highly tempted to join, mostly only if reroll rules aren't mucked with. I mean, what's the point of an elf-only league if not to maximize elf bullshit? Though I'd probably go the kill-the-fey-bastards route myself.
No blocking is a much more interesting prospect, though it means that if you're up in the second half and can pick up the ball, you have a guaranteed victory just by not moving your ball carrier and stalling out the game. Unless they have a wizard, I guess.

One of THE BLUE STEEL's linebackers getting fitted for his uniform: I'm seriously sad THE BLUE STEEL played a match versus proudft's stupid humans and are thus ineligable.  I could recycle my Gilbert & Sullivan theme idea into elves but meh. A Rodgers & Hammerstein theme could work, and I would actually be happy when my elves died, because fuck do I hate Rodgers & Hammerstein. Hmmmm. |

Just delete it and recreate it. That wouldn't take any more than five to ten minutes.

You are not too late, and it starts shortly after Bleatbowl II has been played. Which is likely to be done relatively soon.

I actually have to duck out. Too much school for me to take on another league, I'm afraid.

If you wind up with an odd number I'll join and then whine endlessly about how I suck at elves and I don't know why I even play Blood Bowl.

Rules updated.
You have until March 2nd to sign up or pull out. I'll be creating the league on that day so that folks have all weekend to get their team in.

Yeah, I kinda failed here and didn't apply with a new elf team for Feeder league but I have a premade Dark elf team if it's too late to submit a new elf team. Bring on the pansyness!  |

Wood Elf Team "I Break Easy" created and ready for submission to the league. If you guys don't manage to decimate, destroy and kill this team I will be VERY disappointed.

Yes. New teams only. I'll be creating the league within an hour or so and give information on it here.
