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 the end of September. This month, Metagroups have been added to the list. The following leagues should have space/recruiting right now: WIL (two UK coaches), Le Laboratoire (French), Cyberpunk Draft League, XXXL, NWBL (Americas), SIoMT, and Secret Resurrection 2020. |
Timezone/Region | World, but focused on Coaches new to Bloodbowl or new to Fumbbl | ✶ |
Rules | BB2020 | |
Current status | A new Autumn tournament has started, but appropriate folks south of the equator where it's headed into Spring are welcome too! Only a handful of games have been played, and the environment is active. 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. | |

To contact | New teams either enter a Youngbloods tournament or the general mix depending on timing, and with a league this large they're almost always recruiting. Contact C0ddlefish and/or join them on the SL Discord in their own section. (Be aware that starting a team in when CIBBL is heading into Spring regionals is hard-mode. If one is considering joining CIBBL, one might be well advised to wait until the Spring regionals have begun and the team can start in a Youngbloods tournament to start and then into a more balanced special Summer Tournament. YMMV.) |

Borg Invasion | |
Environment | Any/All |
Synopsis | Chaos Renegades teams as Borg collective. Start vanilla and play against other teams... and as you kill your opponent's players, you add their unique biological signature to the Borg. It was challenging under the BB2016 rules, and I suspect it's even harder now. |
