If I haven't seen someone play, my first step to seeing if they are good is the same step I use if I spin into someone in BBT I don't recognise, I check their box winrate. It's the only stat on Fumbbl I'd even vaguely trust as a measure of competence. |
Yeah, Box is the true Competitive division! 
I do the same, I check only the Box win rate.
If you can pick/avoid opponents the win rate is not reliable. |

A day may come when the season is shortened to 12 games, when teams get recycled faster, and your legend players retire more often, but it is not this day.

 doh.
So it's official:
or I a am not a nerd...
or my English (or comprehension) level is really veeeeery low.
But for the rest of your reply I would say :
+1

I mean I just watch them.
Lots of things go into winrate. I largely think the difference between plenty of 60%ish winrate coaches and plenty of 75%ers in an open-MM system is nothing more than statistical noise or within margin of error difference. So much is about who you play, when you play them and what you're both playing. You can even see this in bbt if you bother to check through matches.
So all in all, bloodbowl greatness makes me think of a certain indefinable item: "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description... but I know it when I see it".

It's a quote from Aragorn's speech at Black Gate in the Lord of the Rings. |

The most competitive format ever would likely be something like a res BBT, online to allow more skills and slightly higher TV, and all invite to make sure everyone in it is of a certain level of play or above.
That's never happening |
Set it Up yourself!  I really like the idea of a resurrection environment with a little bit more skills and budget than Eurobowl and blind pairing. And maybe even Matt would like it: No freaks! :-p
The question would be: Who sets the cornerstones (Budget, Skills, how many games with how many teams should be played etc.), will the current tier system be applicable for the slightly bigger teams, who will be invited and is the group big enough to allow variance while still maintaining a high overall coaching level.
Even if I am not part of that top coach group I would love to play in such an environment. |
If either of you want to give me some parameters to work w/, this is something that can be done as a FUMBBL NAF Online! event. I've been wanting to do something w/ more gold & more skills. But I'm not sure how far to go w/ either gold or skills or how to set the tiers/gold/skills to make things work. Feel free to PM me on FUMBBL w/ ideas or suggestions & we can have a discussion. There is an opening for mid June 2025 on our calendar atm. |
