WH Bloodbowl League

RULES AND REGULATIONS

This season will be similar to last season in the following ways:

Teams will start at 1,000,000 gold pieces. This is used to purchase your players, coaching staff and re-rolls. Any remaining gold will go into your team treasury to be spent later on inducements, more players, or other tricks.
Your starting team must have at least 11 players, and follow the guidelines listed for each team in the appropriate book.
Only the teams found in the base rule book, Death Zone Season One!, Death Zone Season Two!, Blood Bowl Almanac supplements and from the Teams of Legend PDF located on the official Blood Bowl website may be used.
Proxy models may be used. Proxy models must be legal size to use on the Blood Bowl pitch (Cannot have a base larger than one square). Appropriate accommodations need to be made so that each proxy can be easily distinguished from the other players on your team (such as writing the role on the base, using the same model pose for each of that role, etc.)

December is Pre-Season and Team Registration!

There will be a $5 fee to register your team into the league. This will go straight into prizes at the end of the season!

Initial team rosters and registration fees are both due by Thursday, January 4, 2018. Late sign ups risk not being able to play, or suffering a 'Late Team' Penalty.

The earlier you sign up the better! Due to the nature and complexity of league tracking, we are going to be setting up a localized drive via google-sheets to track team players, money, improvements and any injuries or casualties. Each manager (that's you) is responsible for keeping track of their players (that's the models), current treasury amount, star player points, and any other relevant stats necessary for your team. After you register, we will send a packet to your email inviting you to our google-sheets page and giving you any more specific details necessary.

During the preseason month you can meet up with the other players to practice playing, as well as leveling up and managing your team. Be aware that none of the level ups will carry over into the regular season.

Christian "The Juice-man" will be down most Mondays during the month to help with teaching how to play as well as how to conduct a season game!

The Season starts Monday, January 8th!

"Hey look Jim, it looks like our sponsors at Other Realms is hosting a second season of Blood Bowl! Guess they didn't see enough in the first one! To be fair, neither did I!"

Here's some details for your games:

There will be a schedule, and each team will have 2 weeks to complete their scheduled match up.
Match results must be reported to Juice by 6PM the Sunday of the second week.
It will be round robin, meaning each team will play each other once
During each game, each player is responsible for having their team, dice, markers and a way to keep track of score and re-rolls, a printed out team roster, and a copy of Death Zone Season One! to conduct the procedure for season play and leveling up. Having a rules reference on hand also helps.
You must also have a way to update your team, whether it's online or offline, you must be able to keep track of what changed.
Teams are allowed to sign star players as detailed in Death Zone! Season Two rule book. But if they do, it must be reported to Juice and announced, as the player will become unavailable to be signed or paid for using inducements to the rest of the teams.
If a team signs a sponsor (As detailed in Death Zone! Season Two rule book), they must represent the sponsor somehow during their games, whether it's wearing a sticker with the name written down on it, up to whatever the coach can come up with.
Teams must use the Random Stadium table for their games, in the case of a team wanting to make it their Home Stadium, as described in Death Zone! Season Two rule book. If a team has a Home stadium, they must have the name of the stadium somewhere near the board when playing on it.
Teams are allowed one "Friendly" Skirmish every two weeks to earn gold and to level up players. However, it won't affect their win/loss/draw record, and any casualties they sustain during these game will apply as normal.

"Indeed it appears so, and it also seems like they have a new league commissioner- the Luchadwarves Team Owner Christian 'The Juice-man'! He's calling out to coaches and owners everywhere, experienced or otherwise to join in! But what does this mean for the future of the league? The way things are shaping up, we may see a very different season than the last one!"

"It's almost time, Bob, just be patient for a little bit longer! I can hear it now, the teams are getting blood-thirsty, and so are the crowds! I can't wait to see what this season has in store for us! Until the season starts in January, I'm Jim Johnson..."

"Ahhh, Jim that is too much technical talk for me! Can we get to the action already? I wanna see a filthy rat get punched!"

Every Team will make it into the play-offs! Seeding will be based off of W/L/D Record, then tie breakers will be based off team value. Here's how the playoffs will work:

The top teams may have byes, depending on the number of teams in the league.
Play-offs will consist of one game, single elimination rounds.
Games that end in draws will go into a third half and play to sudden death, first team to score wins!
Prizes will go to the top teams in the form of Other Realms gift cards!
There will also be awards to Teams that meet certain criteria...
