When legendary figures dream - amazing things happen!

The History?

In 2019 the blood bowl legend that is KFoged dreamed of a League run on a resurrection basis using NAF style rules. The dream was also shared by commentator, website designer and occasional player - Wulfyn. They didn't know if there would be any interest - but much like Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams - they built it and people came!

It is now in its 3rd season and already there are many who would say that Tacklezone Star Divisions is the highest quality Blood Bowl league anywhere in the world!

But if gods achieve huge things when they dream - they can also be guilty of making huge mistakes!! And of course KFoged made a huge mistake when he set up TSD.... because he set it up in the dark lands of Blood Bowl 2!!

Now even the mighty can only achieve so much - whilst KFoged is distracted by Blood Bowl projects far and wide there is little or no chance of TSD being expanded to FUMBBL - even though many of us have begged and begged and begged!


The Plan?

Much like in the myths of ancient Greece when gods and legends stumble - it is up to us mortals to pick up the slack. So with permission from KFoged and Wulfyn, with the promise of some support from PC (and others) - I am proposing to start a franchise of TSD here on FUMBBL.

The version on BB2 is currently capped at 64 players (with a waiting list - 1 in/ 1 out), it uses the Eurobowl ruleset and they play 1 game every two weeks. The competition is split into 8 groups of 8. With the top 2 from each group progressing to the play offs.

However season 1 - was capped at a lower number and used a simpler ruleset in order to test the concept. I think I would follow this and cap the first season at 24 or (if there was enough interest) 36 coaches. A smaller number should allow us to squeeze it in before the new addition.

I'd like Snotlings and OWA to be playable so again season 1 I'd probably use a rule set more similar to NAFC. Makes it easy to slot OWA in as tier 2 and Snotlings as tier 3.


So to clarify?

I am proposing to start a new competition in League.

It is a resurrection style league open to all - but with a capped number of players.

Teams will be given 1.1 million gold to spend and some starting skills based on which Tier they fall into.

The competition will be split into groups - with the top team from each qualifying for the play offs.

Each game week will last 2 weeks.

Once the league finishes - coaches who leave will be replaced.. everyone submits new teams ... and we go again.


Who the hell am I?

For those that dont know me - I've been involved in the creation and running of a large table top league - Wargamers of Wolverhampton League of Fear (WOWLOF), the initial running of Tournament of Fear (ToF) and I created the Online League of Fear (OLOF) on BB2 - You'll notice a theme!!

I also played in the first 2 seasons of TSD! I only left because I developed a serious distaste of BB2 (I kept getting heavily beaten :-))

Anyway I'm a reasonably nice guy - with genuine enthusiasm for the game who has experience of running things. This is my first journey into running something on FUMBBL but they seems to be loads of people willing to help (more always welcome) so I'm confident that we can make this work.

Oh and of course because I'm running it - it shall be called TackleZone Star Divisions of Fear - TSDOF - which Wulfyn and KFoged also havent objected to.


So Why am I blogging?

Are people interested?
Will people play?
Could you do it better?
Is it even needed?

Please comment or PM me or whatever.
