RT BBL S5 - The Chanelf Receivers Cup + Tourist Advice

[Raveen]

There is a new league in Blood Bowl. Search for RTBBL Chanelf Receivers Cup and sign up. Password is Palmtree as ever.

Gandalf and identity are commissioners so can accept applications too.

Don't forget you need to quit the existing league first.

Shitting hell.

Percy's lads can catch?

[Gandalf]

Nice cup name.

Yup the goblins are next up the chart on 5. Some of those are probably from throwing bombs back and forth...!

What will happen if there's a tie?

[Raveen]

It'll go with league position in the event of a tie.

[notjarvis]

In fitting with this ridiculous season, Skinks with no passing skills and a -1 stunty modifier have had far more success with passing than my Norse team that was set up to pass did all last season (We're next up the table the receivers table though with 6, and only 1 to play - so not entirely safe)..

Just absurd.

[DaigaroOgami]

But, we never throw the ball, unless there's a goblin attached to it.

And I've only played bomb volleyball once. Does catching bouncing balls count? That's probably where Nuffle's blessing has gone this year.

Still, imagine if The Plan actually qualified for something... under the new leadership of Percy's Wife...

[Gandalf]

notj I feel your pain, those Norse were so terrible with the ball. You & I do seem to have been blessed by Nuffle this season.

Daigaro - If you catch a kickoff, that counts as a reception too. I believe catching a bouncing ball doesn't count.

[Raveen]

Intercepting a bomb also apparently counts. Although I think I intercepted the ball once and it didn't. Maybe I got those the wrong way round.

Bouncing balls do not count.

[Raveen]

The games are played, the catches have been counted and here are the qualifiers for the Chanelf Receivers Cup!

From first seed to last:

The Sons of the Silver Sword
The Cheeseosophers
The Brewers Brawlers
Astrogranite Apocalypse
Saur'd of Justice
Fables!
Percy's Persistent Plan
The Pinewood Carrions

I'll get the cup setup in Blood Bowl this week.

So are we seeded on our ability to farm catches, or our standing in the league?

[Gandalf]

The rankings are based on the qualification criteria - ie catches.

I thought the fixtures were posted somewhere, but hey you can figure them out.

[id3nt1ty]

Oh, that means it's Fables vs The Brewers Brawlers. Again. I feel like I've played against the Dwarves a lot.

[notjarvis]

Urrggh.

Apologies, but I can't play this weekend.

We've took the decision to go away for the weekend on short notice, as we need the break.
will try to rearrange for in the week,.

[Raveen]

This week's matches are:

The Sons of the Silver Sword vs The Pinewood Carrions

Astrogranite Apocalypse vs Saur'd of Justice - POSTPONED PENDING INVESTIGATION

The Cheeseosophers vs Percy's Persistent Plan

The Brewers Brawlers vs Fables!

I'll get a League up tonight and make someone else a commissioner just in case. I'll endeavour to set the seeds up properly this time.

The Cheeseosophers vs Percy's Persistent Plan

We’ve declared this one an official grudge match because DO claims I don’t love my underworld goblins enough (which is true, under 16SPP). I have accepted this grudge as I like to grudge and haven’t grudged very hard yet with the vamps, if at all – they’re just not very grudgy, really.
