Season 7 Signup Thread

[Reborne]

Can we have seeded groups so the high TV can mess with the high TV etc.
It makes more sense imo.

Probably don't want my Ogres feeding already high TV teams.
I mean there is always the chance that more "star" players will kill themselves on my team, but more likely they will squish my squishies and be all the better for it.

I'm usually placed in the newb pre-division because of my amazing loss rate 

[Sir T]

I'm getting the urge to sign up and be miserable. What the hell is the matter with me.

You played Eve, need I say more? Please come back!

If the draft is the same as previous seasons, the veteran teams get spread out between the divisions anyway. Or its based on win rates or something, which is relatively synonymous with TV anyway.

[schpain]

I'm in.  When does this kick off, so i have time to get a team up to spec?  llyse will be ecstatic.

It was based on f13 rankings, which is determined by the performance of the coaches with regards to wins, championships, etc.  TV did not factor into it.

And it works fine that way.  We have always had good seeding, I think.

We do need to update the f13 rankings though.  They have not been updated for two seasons now.  I am still ranked 15th.   

An update for the History of the League sticky would also be good.

[lamaros]

If Falc is willing to share his super secret ranking formula I'll do it.

If not I can just make one up an still do it.

[Falconeer]

I would be willing to dedicate some time to updating the ranking, but I'd need a recap of last season, without having to wade through all the posts that are formatted slightly different from my own messy standards. What I need is each team's placement in the divisions, and what round of the playoff each team got to.

But yes, I could just share the formula too. Problem with sharing the formula is that it will just spring a chorus of "WHAT! THAT SYSTEM IS RIDICULOUS! IT SHOULD BE CHANGED LIKE THIS AND THAT!" and I hate not having control. Haha.

I'll share.

[ezrast]

No need, really. Not like we don't have enough of those choruses as-is.

[Sir T]

You played Eve, need I say more? Please come back!

Good point. Fine I;'ll come in. I'll play halflings I suppose. At least I get to stomp people with Ents. Or woodelves for the same reason.

[proudft]

Wow, I... did not do well the last two seasons.   Surely the Khorne Daemons will rectify this.

[Ruvaldt]

That 7th place in Horde Season 6 is misleading because you still did well enough to get a wild card berth in the playoffs.  In Season 5 I think you played Khemri so...yeah.

[proudft]

Hey, the Khemri were awesome!   They just kept dying.  My human team from last season is actually in pretty good shape now after a horrendous start, but the daemons are really fun with all the frenzying, so I can't help choosing them.

[Megrim]

By the way, if no-one steps up, I will be taking Falc's lead and offering a prize of one game off their Steam wishlist to this season's winner.

[Falconeer]

Awesome job Ruvaldt! Thanks a lot 

[Teleku]

I'm interested in playing again.  However, my PC is still somewhere between the US and Poland, and I have no idea when it will arrive.  May be next week, but might be another 2 to 3 weeks.

[IainC]

Schpain, 15th Feb is the cut off for signups. The league will start a few days after that.

Everyone who's signed up but hasn't updated their Steam, BB and team details please do so as soon as you can.

There are still a few spots left and the league management is massively easier if we get a full 32 teams. Please spread the word if you have friends who might like to join in.

[carnifex27]

I'm up if you still need people.

Names: Carnifex27 everywhere
Team:  I'm wavering between the [F13] BridgeBurners (necro 1320+40k) and bringing back Carnifex's Cripplers (lizardmen 1660+380k)

[IainC]

I missed Ezrast so that is 32 as of now.

7 new players for this season is pretty awesome, hopefully you guys will stick around and join in the general chatter too.

Because Falc will be travelling between the 14th and the 28th I'm minded to start the season slightly early to accommodate that. If we kick off on the 12th, that means the first day will end on the 21st and the second on the 2nd March, giving him two days at either end to get his matches in. If starting on the 12th is going to be a problem for anyone then please say.

I'll be doing the traditional seeding leagues and swearing at Cyanide video soon and will post it up just before we kick off.

Please remember to join the f13 Bloodbowlers Steam Group if you haven't already and if your details are listed as TBA in the list then please update with your final choices as soon as possible. You can still get in some Feeder League games as long as your TV + cash doesn't go over the limit. The season 7 league will be created very soon so please sign up in plenty of time.

Edit: The league has been started so sign up as soon as you are ready to. If you want to carry on playing Feeder League games then you can but otherwise you should put your teams into the league as soon as possible.

The league name is f13 Season 7 and the password is skullskull.

I'm going to be travelling a lot between now and next weekend so I may not always be approving entries in a very timely manner.

[Fildrigar]

In all 15 bash teams,

I'd totally be bringing my beloved Slann, IF THEY FREAKING EXISTED IN THE VIDEO GAME.

[rk47]

I'll be traveling from 10th - 17th so finishing MD-01 by 21st is do-able.
I think the PC at my parent's place did run Bloodbowl .. I dont wanna risk disconnects. 

[Ruvaldt]

I'd totally be bringing my beloved Slann

The Slann are actually beloved by someone?

Though I agree...they should

Though I agree...they should have been included.  Cyanide will release them in eight months in another edition to milk the license though.
