Elf games in the Box only, with BB2020 ruleset:

- 229 DE games;
- 209 EU games;
- 166 HE games;
- 219 WE games.

Total: 823 games

I would have played them all only in the Box but it had not been working for 11 months.
Box started to work again on 2022-08-03.

Bumping, still looking for elves on gamefinder Very Happy


Play in blackbox, where plenty of elfs live (and die) because of the BBT.

I mostly play during night hours server time (starting from 22.30), so probably I don't have a complete vision of all the games played; but still, it seems almost impossible to find elf teams on gamefinder...

I reiterate, play in box if you want to face elves. Because of the BBT all races get played there, and this season on the stats page you can see that High Elves were literally the race with the most games played in the BBT

Gamefinder isnt kind to elves. The eternal TV matching game environment without redrafts is about a bad of a custom ruleset as you can cook up for elves. Even if you get a stretch where you don't die, you end up overdogging a wizard to a murder dorf squad that has been farming goblin players. No bueno.
You'll find a lot more in black box or in resurrection tournaments where the trophy teams are sort of a redraft system and in resurrection they can play BB without worrying about losing their whole team every game.

In the Box you can find Elves at low and mid TV, while it's hard to find them at high TV.
As long as you play at low-mid you should find some Elves, sooner or later, especially if your teams are not older than 15 games.

I think that if the main goal is to play elfball (elf vs elf) games is not worth activating elves in Box. And I don't think the scheduler make racial preference in the games associations,

If main goal is to maximize number of elves vs elves games probably the best strategy is to attend specific tournaments and leagues elves-dedicated (maybe more so you can play often).

I think Gridironman is trying to restart an elf draft league. Can't get much elfballer than that.

It is currently active, expanding into a division 2 next season. It will be running for 3 seasons by then.
