Its time for another gut wrenching season of Blood Bowl! So to set the tone for the new season, your commissioner has a stone-cold inspirational speech to motivate you. It's often said this is a game for pessimists, and frankly I'm inclined to agree. I often catch myself muttering about grand conspiracies by the dice gods, and I bet you aren't any different! So for just one week of Blood Bowl, resolve to look on the bright side, no matter how stupid it makes you feel!
Did you just roll snake eyes on a dodge? Well now the universe owes you a couple 6's!!! Is your best player dead? If he were really so good, he wouldn't have gone and died now would he?! The dice are your friends, so get out there and roll 'em! What's the worst that could possibly happen? (Parrigan) Heller Highwaters vs. (Havol) Sin City Sinners
(Wenteros) Bouncy Bouncers vs. (Squiggy) The Discworld Dozen
(Smakapotomus) Make Mine Moo!! vs. (Hirumazeo) Patascortas
Play your matches by Monday the 22nd. Post the results HERE IN THIS THREAD. If both coaches confirm the score I'm happy to validate your match. Other admins are welcome to validate their own matches of course. Get to it!

I'd say there's a fair chance I'll be annoyed :-) but it won't stop me playing! 2300 tomorrow works just fine for me sir let the humans vs um...breasty humans...commence, last one to die is a coward! 2200 the next day as a backup just in case?

2-1 to the Discworld Dozen in battle of the blodgesteppers vs Wenteros's Boob brigade.
GREAT match, and I'm not just saying that because of the result. Really tense, really close, all hinged on 3 or 4 key dice rolls, all of which but one went my way. Wenteros had a chance to tie it up at 1-1 after I did the standard human thing of a half-assed cage combined with a ton of rr skills to score T7, but a snake eyes on the necessary gfi to reach the ball killed it for him. During the first half I managed 4 kos, no cas, thanks to a very lenient referee (5 fouls, no red cards) and rolling WAY more pows than I had any right to in the first couple turns, which left Wenteros unable to bring the numbers in to stop my drive, although he made one hell of an effort and it was close. Had to rely on a pass to score, which is never guaranteed, but with a strong arm thrower short pass and 2 catchers next to one another it wasnt TOO risky. Right before the half Wenteros decided it was his turn to hit, and that KOs were for sissies, and with 3 punches took out three of my players, including poor rookie lineman All Johnson, whose funeral will be held whenever we stop laughing at him. Second half wenteros made a fantastic drive down the pitch, only to again be stopped by a snake eyes, which gave me a chance to grab the ball...sadly I then decided he was being greedy with the ones and rolled a couple of my own, which left a tricky block/dodge/dodge/pickup/pass/catch play for him to score, which he pulled off brilliantly with 90% great offensive coverage play and 10% lucky dice (and frankly after the first half he was due!) So, 1-1, 4 turns left, me receiving, once again standard human drive, although it was now 9v8 in my favour after Wenteros' one and only foul had a blodger ejected, which made it a lot safer and relatively comfortable, though not enough to stall the extra turn, and I had to run it in turn 15 after some excellent defensive pressure. 2-1, 2 turns left, wenteros' KOs all wake up bar one, leaving it 9v8 in his favour, he sets up for a drive down the side (no rr, gfis needed,w as always going to be risky even if all went well...) and Nuffle promptly decided that all wasn't well and gave me a perfect defence kickoff, which pretty much spelled the end, although he did try a clever play which came close to clearing a path, but it wasnt to be.
2-2 would have been a more than fair result, I rolled more pows than I had any right to, although the armour/injury rolls let me down (usually its the other way round...)and thanks to Hudd's Humbug Hitting (cheers pal) I had no tackle players at ALL vs zons, but fortunately guard spam and a VERY nice ogre (block, guard, grab, and 15/16 bonehead passes as well as only falling down once!) gave me just enough 2 dice blocks to make up for it.
Once again a great game Wenteros, once again I get just lucky enough to bring in the result. I've never had a dull match against you, and regardless of results, long may that continue. GG sir.
The only real fly in the ointment was All Johnson decided he was going to take the posthumous MVP award. Git. Maybe we won't bother with a funeral and we'll just dump him back in The Shades once the DD find their way home again.

For god. Please. Return 2 minutes for turn. Is exasperate see how your opponent burn all seconds all turns. I play matchs in the board game more fast.

Make Mine Moo!! 1 - 0 PatascortasDidn't seem to bother you when you were moving the ball. Sorry if I had to play smart to deal with your Guard Chorfs, but no; I managed the win so I guess speed isn't always the best. Ggame Sir, good luck with the team

I have never been especially fond of 4 minute turns, but it's how we do things here. Hiru, try to take your opponent taking all 4 minutes as a compliment to you. He needs all the time available to defeat your team. It's a compliment!

He needs all the time available to defeat your team. It's a compliment! It's not as if every turn took 4-mins but the average was easily above 3:00, never try to rush my play. Of course, in game there was nothing mentioned; (just to be clear). It was only his comment in the forum that prompted my response.
