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 in a couple weeks. (Seriously... got a quip/update about your league -- forward it on over.) The census says that there are 811 distinct coaches on FUMBBL who play in leagues. Two numbers are given which the range of the league size, because there isn't a single good indicator of the league size. When the numbers are very different - the league may be in flux, have some deadwood teams/coaches in their locker rooms, or at the start or end of a cycle. Numbers very close together should be pretty close to the actual census for the group. Reorganized again, sorting roughly by size by region, starting with the global leagues. The following leagues should have space/recruiting now or really soon: Super Leagues (Global), Secret Resurrection (Global, SL20), Jupiler & Budweiser Ligue (French), Major Blood Bowl League (French, Many slots free!), Classic Bowl (Invitational, Europe), Liga Woli Nuffla (Polish), and the Cyberpunk Draft League (Europe). Of course, the open environments are always looking for more coaches as well, because they're... you know... open environments. See ya on the pitch. |

Rules | BB2020 | |
Current status | Special Snowflakes Season will end on Monday, 30 January, and membership is already frozen. | |
Next steps | The [u]Season of the Angry Squirrel[/u] will begin on 2 February. 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. A new season begins when we've squeezed the fun and the learning from the current tournament, but before all the coaches end up setting in a virtual room staring at each other. | |
