Rookie Coach Open Leagues & Tournaments
145 Rookie & Open League season XXVIII kicks off Thursday 16th January.
The season ends at midnight Sunday 9th February.
For those that don't already know, the 145 Open and Rookie Leagues are aimed at newer coaches or those whose records are maybe not the greatest.
This is a laid back open round robin league. Play any opponent in any order at any time. Schedule games in advance if you find that easier.
No fixed number of games. Play as many as you wish. Though you may only play against the same team once.
Newer coaches may use ANY CRP team. Experienced or highly rated coaches are limited to halfling or goblin teams only.
Your best 10 results count.
The top 4 teams in each league make the playoffs for the Grand Championship.
Get those teams ready and sign them up.
The Rookie League accepts only one team per coach. The Open League accepts TWO teams per coach.
All teams MUST be in the [L]eague division.
Teams must be equal to or under the Tournament Weight TW limit for the tournament that they are applying for.
Rookie League = 1150TW or less. Need as many teams as possible.
Open League = No TV/TW limit. Need as many teams as possible.
Please check that you have signed up for the correct tournament with the correct TW. Be sure to add at least one team to the Home Group
Please add your team name to the recuitment thread when you have signed up.
Also add your [L]eague division teams to the O[L]C group to gain Open [L]eague Sprint points when you play against other O[L]C teams.
Good luck and have fun.

I can not recommend this league enough to any new starter or strugler. It is a really friendly environment where the main aim is to help other coaches get better whatever their level. So if you're brand new or just in need of guidance like me this is a great place to play, there is a real community feel to it with active spectating taking place and the fluff is starting to build making it all the more enjoyable for everyone. Finally a note to all those great coaches out there why not sign up a Gobbo team and give a little back, who knows maybe you'll help a player one day to compete on your level or are you scared of the competition!

Great league for anyone new to the site or perhaps struggling to find their feet in the ranked or blackbox environment, plenty of really supportive coaches who want to learn and have fun more than they want to win (well mostly anyway)! Create your favorite team (or two) and join, what are you waiting for!?

so, if your thinking about joining this league. then this is the league to help players new and old get used to the ruleset and to help them get into league/tournament environment first we got to cover some ground rules
1. Fun comes BEFORE winning. this is a league about learning the game and supporting everybody. New and Old
2. Don't be shy, we are here to share our knowledge and get to know you even if its about your personal life, hobbys, questions or even your game experience.
3. Stay Positive. if you been having a run of bad games or just feel you need help then you can ask people to ask for some help. there are a lot of good coaches that can share some of the their knowledge. i would recommend talking to coaches abinv, Mike467, Myself ,Cipherous, Koadah and Atari. there are lots of us that are willing to share and help you just don't be afraid to ask.
if your happy with those rules then welcome aboard the 145 train XD

I played a bunch in the 145 rookie leagues back when I was new to FUMBBL, and (as well as providing a learning environment) it helped to reassure me that I wasn't the worst player onsite, and let me play close, fun, exciting games against people around my own level, instead of constantly being the cherry for others to pick.
koadah really deserves huge credit for his work running the whole 145 Club; it provides an extremely valuable service to the site, and is one of the best run leagues I've played in, thanks to his regular and helpful communications. I'm pretty sure I said it back then, but thanks again koadah.
(Just before anyone asks, I have a self-imposed rule of only playing chaos-y teams except in random race leagues, which is why I've not got a gob or fling team in the 145 Club. I may put some more effort into coming up with some good fluff for a chaotic fling team at some point soon though...)

When I first joined fumbbl I played mainly Ranked games and in the Black Box :O ..I quickly got frustrated because the competative level in those divisions was so high =O ..I read about the League/s division but shy'd away from it for fear of not being taken seriously -=> because I was !SO! bad.
Joining 145 was definatley the best thing I done in my career on fumbbl to-date. Getting regular games with other coaches of a similar level of experiance is a BIG enjoyment improver, it is nice when a game ends and you still have a few players able bodied afterward! Not only that but the folks in the club are a great bunch who are more than willing to welcome any and all new comers!
If you have recently joined fumbbl and any of the above applies to you - I highly recommend you come along!
