Congratulations for making it through to the playoffs for the Bronze Shield (season 9). Make sure you know how playoff rules work before you start (tied games at turn 16 roll on).
Please move your teams across to: IP Bronze Shield Playoffs (Password is ‘Bronze’ – note the capital ‘B’) and organise your games below. Winner uploads to: IP Bronze Playoffs S9. Password 123.
2 coaches are yet to apply in-game. We'll start as soon as everyone's in.
Here are the match ups:
#1 Legchewer vs #16 Wingsteel
Stat boosts abound in this first fixture of the playoffs. The top dogs face off against the runts, but the runts aren’t looking too scrappy… the str6 block mummy is bloody terrifying if you ask me… Orcs have plenty of strength all ‘round, but can they hold the living dead at bay long enough for their fast and agile ones to make a break for it? The inducements might just tip the odds in the favour of the wildcard entrant who’s looking to rock the boat by topping the number 1 seed from the get go.
#2 Hudd vs #15 Coach Jester
Evil dorfs and evil elves try to out-evil each other in this battle of the titans. These experienced coaches have been long acquainted with each other, and know better than to give their opposite number even an inch; cos he’ll take a mile. Can Jester’s delfs put an end to Hudd’s undefeated run in Bronze this season? Or will those bulls run amuck and stomp little evil elfies into the turf? Even with all that tackle, there’s no guarantee you can pin down the ball cos of the famous delf running game dump off shenanigans.
#3 Knockoff vs #14 Parrigan Niall
I can’t believe the Yoricks are here in the playoffs! In the flesh... rotting and smelling of formaldehyde, as usual, but THEY’RE ACTUALLY HERE! The dream is just 3 games away – an all zombie team in the finals; IF they can drag Knockoff’s speedsters down into the turf. The runners will be dancing circles around the shambling stiffs, but if what I’ve learnt from all those hours spent watching zombie films is true – well, there’s always a straggler for zombie hands to grab onto and maul. The mob might be slow, but their will is strong and their hunger insatiable!
#4 Goodpass vs #13 trs74
The Firebirds dash into the playoffs still undefeated! True, they don’t boast as many wins as their star player, Saelron might have liked, but the team is coming along nicely and the rookies are getting the hang of things. TRS74 will be looking to rectify the account, having lost early in the regular season to this infamous elf side. His Chaos side can certainly bring the biff, and with both sides having no players on the bench to speak of, any injury is gonna hurt the side bad. Is this gonna be another classic Saelron scorefest? Will any elves survive to leave the pitch on their feet? Only time will tell.
#5 Cerumol vs # 12 Ecnalav
Cerumol’s riding a wave of good form coming into this important debut in the bronze playoffs. The claws are sharpened, the dodgers are extra stunty, and that troll is looking stronger than ever! Val’s no slouch either – with enough tackle spread throughout the ranks, and some serious ball handling capabilities, the living dead should be well prepared to fend off the little weasel-ly warpstone addicts. I wonder who’s armour will break first? And whether Cerumol’s deep bench will be the deciding factor in surviving the playoff rules if the game is tied at t16.
#6 Oni_Goku vs #11 FatZomby
The trash talk has already begun between these coaches, and looking at their teams, this could be a real grind either way. On paper, the chorfs have a slight skills advantage, and should be the favourites for this game. The horde of coaches and cheerleaders that have been employed to form Fatzomby’s entourage may have something to write home about after this one – IF they can lock down those surprisingly agile blitzers who’ll be looking to slip through any gaps they can find in the defence.
#7 HAVOL vs #10 Comfort_Eagle
The gobbos started celebrating a bit early… as far as they’re concerned, even getting to the playoffs is nothing short of a small miracle. Lets hope enough of them sober up enough to walk in a straight line come match-day; the chainsaw is dangerous enough without added alcohol. But maybe they shouldn’t sober up entirely, else they’d realise they’re up against an incredibly strong lizard side who can do it all… they can bash, they can run, they can handle the ball as well as any elf side. The only chance the gobs have is if they can make fertiliser out of enough players while their weapons are on the pitch, so – business as usual I suppose. Apologies in advance, Hav – not that I’m expecting to win, but chances are, scales will fly this game regardless, and I hate to hurt such beautiful reptiles.
#8 Smakapotomus vs #9 Threeclubs
It’s probably apt that the two least developed sides contending for the shield this season face off against each other in the first round of playoffs. Both have overcome numerous giants to even get here, and the fact that they’ve made it this far is a testament to their coaches’ abilities. With a slim/non-existent bench, neither side can afford to take any casualties – which will prove to be a challenge since Smak and Threeclubs have built their teams to put the hurt on! The usual dangers abound… norse armour is basically paper, and those chaos warriors STILL have no block, and so could very easily burn rerolls if not turnovers. Still, you’ve made it this far already on guts and talent – time to take things up a notch. Game on!
