  represents a point
  represents zero points so far
 +1 represents a game not yet played

Games not yet played give you zero points for ranking, but one point for the purposes of determining the group you're in for fixtures, so +1 , would mean the team will be in the 2 point score group and will play a 2 point team in the next round.

Ranking is Points > Points scored by opponents you have played > f13 ranking.

Play these matches.

(note : prior unplayed matches have been carried forward - it wasn't the orginal plan for this round - but it turned out it didn't really affect anything to leave them open)

The first 3 matches listed will directly affect the winner - so, play them. The others - at your discretion. Like all of these low intensity tournaments I don't expect every match will get played, so long as you had fun its nbd.

Coaches:

[eldaec]

Megrim is your PC operational?

[Ruvaldt]

Teleku!!  Your days are numbered.  What is a good time for you?  I generally don't have much time on weekdays, but weekends are easy.

[drogg]

prepare yourself for battle ingmar 

[IainC]

I'm pretty sure I don't have an outstanding game from previous rounds.

Megrim, make your time. We will do this thing. The weekend is best for me.

[eldaec]

You don't. Your +1 refers to the round 5 match.

[swiftblade]

Proudft, you free on Saturday?

[proudft]

I'll see what I can do - you're GMT+0 right?  How early in the morning are you up for Blood Bowl?  My Friday late might also work.

[swiftblade]

I'll see what I can do - you're GMT+0 right?  How early in the morning are you up for Blood Bowl?  My Friday late might also work.

Technically GMT+1 at the moment. I'm usually up pretty early, the joys of having a baby... What time were you thinking?

[proudft]

The Syners defeated the Coldfingers 3-0.   But Red Grant the werewolf now has Block!

[swiftblade]

The Syners defeated the Coldfingers 3-0.   But Red Grant the werewolf now has Block!

Some dark elf bullshit combined with nuffle hating the undead in the first half won the day, good game though. Was very shocked that during the second half his flesh golem got the ball, caged up well and yet I managed to beat the crap out of his team. No idea how that happened!

[Teleku]

Ok, needless to say I haven't really taken part in this.  It's due to a mix of apathy, busyness at work, a few vacations, the very inconvenient time zone I'm in, a ton of other games distracting me in my limited spare time, and my team being completely decimated by death and injuries the very first game.  Just give a win to anybody who is suppose to play me.  I'm never going to catch up with the games, and my way undeveloped team would get curb stomped against most of you at this point anyways.

Apologies for this, I didn't think I'd fall off the wagon so bad when I singed up....

[eldaec]

It's no big deal - the aim of this is to keep BB turning over in a low stress situation without the iron clad ~serious business~ committment of the main league.

That said - if you able to get one or two games done to help fill out the rankings that would also be cool.

[Megrim]

Megrim is your PC operational?

It is, but this weekend and week have been taken up with visiting relatives and work. However, I will try to make something happen. What GMT time-zone are you in?

[eldaec]

UK time which is +1 until daylight savings ends.

[satael]

UK time which is +1 until daylight savings ends.

I'm on vacation this week so available to play pretty much any time (except really late EU time)

[eldaec]

Should be online for most of tomorrow for either/both games.

[eldaec]

Magrathea - 2
Theorists - 0

Elves proved too elusive for the Chaos Theorists, Satael's team couldn't get enough of my guys off the pitch. First TD arose from a strip ball aided turnover plus a lucky bounce, then in the second half the elves just kept dancing.

Well done to Satael and Swiftblade for finishing off all 5 matches.

[Megrim]

Would you believe it or not, a game actually got played!

The Centaurs of Attention went hat to elf with Illusions of Grandeur over the weekend. Many a block were thrown, and some elves were knocked over, but in the end, Illusions stalled out a Centaurs drive in the first half, ending 0 - 0 at the interval. A fizzled Wizard from the Centaurs gave the elves a few turns of running up and down the endzone before a Bull Centaur defensive blitz nearly cost them the TD. With only three or so turns left to play and 1 - 0 up, Illusions kicked deep, getting a Blitz! result on the dice, and committing three players to the deep kick. Not to be outdone, a Centaurs Hobgoblin escaped the trap and pitched a short pass to a Centaur, who broke his way deep into the elf backfield. Glory was denied to him however, as enough elves managed to catch up and knock the ball loose.

In the end, it was Illusions of Grandeur 1 - 0 Centaurs of Attention

[stabby the mime]

... wait, is this still a thing that's not finished and everything? 

Err, any chance I can still get one of my games in?

[eldaec]

Yes. Never stop playing blood bowl.

[satael]

 

[swiftblade]

I'd forgotten about this... so, where's this at?

[eldaec]

If you have a fixture listed above, you should play it.

If you do not have a fixture listed above, you should find another blood bowl player and play some feeder league blood bowl anyway.

What I am saying, is never stop playing blood bowl.

Any further questions?

[stabby the mime]

Hmm, good point, and I'm going to guess that Luckton's Fine Ladies are out of reach due to the current season (as well as the rules for afterwards), so it seems there is but one option:

HaemishM! Cupcakes & Turds, when can we organize a meeting between the two? 

[Megrim]

Preeeeetty sure that if you update the rankings, I'm winning.
