Blood Bowl Target 2025
The change of the year traditionally marks a time of resolutions. So I decided to do that for Blood Bowl as well. After more or less one year playing this great game it also seems to be the right time to think about the next steps I could or should take. But before that I - inspired by Jogrenaught - try to reflect about the things I am grateful for:
* I am grateful for Fumbbl in general. It's free and has all the rules and we get these neat leagues and tournaments.
* I am grateful to all my opponents that take the time to play a game with me. Every minute we spend, we can't get back. And you chose to spend some of those with me.
* I am grateful for the leagues I currently participating in. All the work you admins do is your free time and you do not get anything for running them. And I highly appreciate your effort. (This is especially true for the 145 group)
* I am grateful for the Fumbbl and Blood Bowl community in general, where the majority of people is supportive and understanding.
After this little review, let us try to plan the next steps / the goals for 2025:
Play more Blackbox
The main goal here is to increase the variance of coaches and rosters to play against, while reducing the 'matching time'. And force myself out of the comfort zone. No picking, no rejecting... Starting with 4 practice squads in BBT13 and maybe trying to complete the full set of 60 games with one squad later in the year.
Participate in RRR and BRAWLS after I get some practice in Blackbox
It ist also a somehow postponed target and should force me to play very good coaches. But it also adds the psychological aspect of a tournament and the need to fit scheduled matches into RL circumstances.
Focus in 145 group
145 is a superb environment with helping hands all around, but the Graduate league lacks the activity it deserves and finding games there with different coaches and rosters is difficult and time consuming, if you really try to complete the sprint. Even more if you try it with multiple teams. Therefore I will try to focus on the 145 Graduate KO cup instead and play league games more selective for learning or offering other coaches the opportunity to play.
Get the Elven Kingdom league running
I still believe in the concept and try to advertise the league a bit more in 2025 to reach the needed minimum number of eight coaches.
(still recruiting)
Further improve as a good Blood Bowl coach on and off the pitch
This includes learning to play better, but for me it also and foremost includes to learn handling 'bad luck' or 'felt injustice' from a emotional perspective better.
Additional / secondary target for the fun of it
Complete a Kondor Kluster with teams in [C] division
This is a postponed target of 2024, but maybe not the most important one. I was not able to achieve it during the 145 Graduate league sprints, but I still like the way elfs act on the pitch and want to improve as an elf coach. So why not try this to pull me out of my comfort zone with this challenge as well.
Develop an Elven Union Team in C Division that attains the following Fumbbl badges
This target is more or less for the fun of it. But razmus put so much work into the maintenance of the old and even creation of new badges, that I just cannot ignore them.
* Quarterback (5 completions in one match for a single player)
* OTS (5 TD in one match for a single player)
* Frenzy (5 CAS in one match for a single player)
* End-to-End (score a TD in the same turn the ball was in your own Endzone)
* Complex (score with 2 dodges, 2 blocks a pass and a handover)
* Fandabydosie (dedicated fans of 7 or more)
Plus one (slightly adjusted) race specific badge for each Elven Kingdom roster:
* Brutal Elves (High Elf badge, 9 CAS in one game)
* Hard and Fast (Wood Elf badge, 50 CAS on a Catcher)
* Star Player (Elven Union badge, Legendary Catcher)
* Cauldron of Blood (Dark Elf badge, Kill two or more opp. Players in one Match with Witchelves/Blitzers)
Earn the Stunty development badge
As of today I played 60 stunty games. So 40 more to earn the badge.
So now it is up to you. Let me know what you think of the Fumbbl targets I set myself and what your Fumbbl / Blood Bowl resultions are.
Cheers Chris

Hello friend. Those are some wonderful goals. I played a ton of blackbox for the first time this season, and while I don't plan to play AS much as I did next season, I do plan to actually make a squad with a winning strategy instead of just trying to mash the numbers together to maximize the amount of games I can play. I'll see you around :)

Here here! I like the idea of setting badge goals for a team. Seems like a fun way to keep it interesting
