All the league news fit to print and then some! Compiled from across FUMBBL, this is all the league news that's come to my little furry ears. If you know more that is going on, please let razmus know so he can add it to the next edition, which should be at the end of the month. There are several leagues actively recruiting (NWBL in the Americas, MBBL in France, and WIL in the UK), and several other groups either currently between season or soon to be. If you were considering trying out league play then this is one of those good times to jump in. |
Timezone/Region | World, but focused on Coaches new to Bloodbowl or new to Fumbbl | ✶ |
Rules | BB2020 | |
Current status | Summer tournament is underway. There are only a small handful of available slots, and stratification has occurred, but there are still a lot of other coaches who have yet to play their fist game. The season is still viable and fun. There's also a 145 Sprint available for 145 teams so inclined. | |
Next steps | If you're new to Blood Bowl or new to FUMBBL, this is the group to help you get oriented! Join the discord, join the tournament. | |
