Summary
Meta-game for snotlings, ogres, halflings, and goblins (including underworld teams that have never played a game with a rostered Skaven player and saurus-less lizard teams) in League and Competitive (also for those few who are still playing 2016 rules in Ranked). Earn points by leaving a trail of dead opponent players behind you. Bonus points for winning games, dwarfs count double!

Background
We all come to the game with our own goals, our own dreams, and our own aspirations. For some it’s the friendly banter of a tight-knit league, and for others the knife’s edge of competitive play in the Blackbox Trophy or the majors.

And then there’s the coaches who prefer stunties. Life for the stunty coach flows at a different pace than for those who run with elves or bash with the Undead. We relish in the simple pleasures of landing a thrown team-mate for a game-changing touchdown as much as we cheer when our big guys smash a hapless lineman into a pool of gore on the line of scrimmage.

Death is ever present for the stunty coach. We smell it when we take to the pitch, see it in the gleaming eyes of a charging opponent blitzer, and hear the sickening crunch of stunty bones breaking. It is our curse, but also our blessing.

But if Nuffle gave the stunty players paper-thin armor to protect them on the field, he also gave them the determination to fight back, the ferocity to punch above their weight, and the mobility to swarm around immobilized opponents for vicious, head-splitting gang fouls. Many a coach has seen their fully grown players taken off the field one by one by a determined stunty team—in body bags or on stretchers—and walked away in abject horror, having won the game but lost their team.

For some, the trophy hunting takes on a life of its own. We seek out the strongest, most experienced players facing us and target them for elimination. On good days we bring a cadre of dedicated foulers who know every dirty trick in the book. Our big guys hone their blocking skills to perfection to lay waste to the line of scrimmage after the obligatory touchdowns scored by our opponents, and the crowd cheers as they water the grass with bright red blood.


The Competition
TOB is a meta-group open to the traditional stunty teams (Ogres, Goblins, and Halflings) as well as stunty underworld (never rostered a rat) and stunty lizardmen (never rostered a saurus) from Competitive, Ranked, and League. Each season runs for a calendar month, and teams collect points for every opponent player that is dead at the end of the game. The fans don’t care if it’s a wardancer leaping to his death, a mummy failing a dodge, or even a thrown rock from an enraged audience member, they all count. At the end of the season, prizes will be given to the highest scoring teams, and the greatest of them all will ascend the fabled Throne of Blood.


Scoring
Every opponent death during the season is scored as follows: Score = ST * ST + SppCategory * SppCategory + Bonus.

SppCategory follows the progression from Rookie to Legend as (0,1,2,4,6,8,10).

Bonus points are given for Draws (+1) and Wins (+2).

The season score is the sum of the highest scoring opponent deaths during the season, but only counting one death per opponent roster. For example, if you've killed a Star Wardancer (9+36 points) and a rookie Wood Elf Treeman (36+0 points), only the Wardancer counts towards the season total.

Dwarfs count double.

Also, to compensate for them all being 0 spp and nominally rookies, star players all count double. For the Dwarf and Chaos Dwarf star players, that means quadruple!

Side bets for having the highest score in your race or division. Awards for the most kills in a single game, for the most kills during the season, for the longest kill streak (consecutive games with at least a single kill), and for the most valuable kill of the season.

During the season the leaderboard for the metagroup will be updated through PM's. Contestants are encouraged to chat about their stunty feats of brutality in the metagame Discord channel.

Scoring is automated by a Java program. If you find something that doesn’t look right, please alert the group administrator.
