I have just finished the most recent 145 tournament. Congratualtions to MechMage and their skaven for taking top spot.

A new league will be starting in one week.

Now is a great time to jump in and here's how to do it:

1. Make a new league team or select a league team with no greater than 1200k tournament weight

2. Apply your team here

3. Sit back, relax and enjoy some chat on the 145 discord server

You'll receive a PM next weekend annoucing the start of the tournament, which will run for 4 weeks

What is the 145 League?
The 145 League is a league designed primarily for coaches who are new to Blood Bowl, who are struggling with the basics of blocking and caging and wish to learn the game amongst coaches of a similar level. If you are not sure about your eligibility, or aren't a new coach but have a particular area you wish to improve in jump on our discord channel and ask (see links below). More established coaches are welcome on the condition that they abide by our central tenet and are playing games designed to teach.

We strive to be a welcoming, friendly and encouraging environment, focussing on mastering the basics and enjoying the game as opposed to cut throat win-at-all-costs (you can easily find this in the more competitive divisions if this is your jam).

A staple of the League is the open round-robin tournament which runs for 28 days where coaches can arrange the matches casually. These matches are usually arranged in a PM thread or on our discord channel.

The 145 League will also intermittently run tournaments that mimic some of FUMBBL's main tournaments such as Royal Rookie Rumbles and KO tournaments - these help adjust coaches to the intricacies of scheduled matches.

We also provide general advice on team building and development as well as match reviews as needed. Check out our pinned links on the discord channel for articles about how to improve your coaching!

What is the 145 League not?

The 145 league is NOT a place for more established coaches to bring predatory teams to prey on our less experienced coaches. Teams have to be manually approved (by our league staff) and your 4x claw mb team will not escape our attention. Do not waste your time.

The 145 league is NOT competitive. Although we do declare a winner, the main focus should be improving play and supporting each other. We encourage our coaches to discuss their matches after the game and highlight areas of weakness/poor play to each other in a friendly fashion.
