Can you survive the Survivalists League?

The Hatchet Man gazed out across the blasted landscape.

Soon they would come. They would battle their way across the landscape, bruised and bloodied, with those that were weak left to try as they might to survive another night. The blood would flow and the crowds would roar as the snap of bone and the thud of wet flesh rang out through dusty and ramshackle stadia.

The Hatchet Man knew this.

And was pleased...

Wheel of Misfortune

The Wheel of Misfortune has been introduced for some more added chaos. Teams get the opportunity depending on their season results:
1st place in pool, suck it up.
2nd and 3rd place, try harder.
4th and 5th, one spin max.
6th, two spins max.

Teams nominate 3 players and roll D3, then roll wheel for player
1 - Miraculous Recovery (player fully heals from all perms)
2-5 - Minor surgery (lose ONE perm randomly from available perms)
6-7 - Sorry Bro cant help ya (nothing Happens)
8 - Huh What were you in for? (Niggle added to player)
9 - UHOHH (roll on injury table)
10 - DEAD
11 - Warpstone shard (apothecary misplaces lucky warpstone shard-player gains random mutation)
12 - Possession (your player died on the operating table...but not before one of your deceased players managed to take over their body
nominate 3 players from your previous players list a D3 is rolled and one of these players re animates with the same skills as before except -2MA)

Introduction
The SSL is a one representative per race League, with a few spares about to leave room for folks to park. Five rounds played on an easy 10-day turnaround (due dates all 11th, 21st, 1st, 11th, and 21st), followed by a 3-week knockout. This is a league where players play until death for our unending amusement and distraction.

If you're interested in joining us, rebooted as of S15, bit of rookie protection for newer teams, we'd love to hear from you.

Forum
The SSL eternal forum thread is a home for predictions, taunts, and slaging off the weaklings you must suffer. We also try to keep the odd relevant peice of information in there.

There is a well active channel in the southern wastes discord server also. Feel free to drop in to #ssl and say hi, that's where most of the chat (my poor pixels) happens these days.

Casualty Cup
The Casualty Cup is awarded to the grand champion of each season, top two in each division play knockout rounds for the biggest prize and eternal bragging rights.

The_Demon goes back to back, Season 16 and 17 with the dominant Order of the Merciless Sisters.

There's also a Middling Mug for 3rds and 4ths to fight over and a Bottom Bowl for 5ths and 6ths, and good luck to all those teams too.

Past champions can be found in this here.
Detailed League Rules
Time ZoneOur default for the league is Sydney time, at server +10 hours in southern winter, northern summer time. By default, games are organised in Sydney time unless coaches agree otherwise ("@bobborc time swl" in discord to check). If you can play Sydney evenings regularly enough (roughly server 8:00 to 13:00 starts through the year, or Sydney 6pm to 9pm) you're welcome to come along, we have coaches in from all around the world, though US coaches often find it a bit tricky.
ExtensionsExtensions are granted at the capricious whim of the almighty BigBullies. The HatchetMan decrees that he is brought in to any PMs organising late matches. Please have a time to play already organised if possible, and please include the axeman early if he seems needed.
Custom LeagueTeams must be created through this page, link near the top right. Assigned teams are recruited with 1250k to spend, and have a few minor adjustments to help their life in the blasted Southern Wastes.
Two Free CardsTeams in the Southern Wastes are nothing if not resourceful, smuggling in ancient artifacts or planning heinous dirty tricks to gain any edge they can on their opponents. The fans love the unpredictability of it all. +100k for Cards only, use it or lose it to a maximum of eight cards may be taken including the two free ones.
Cash MoneyTeam winnings is effected by Spiralling Expenses on teams of 1750 and over, and also Expensive Mistakes can happen when trying to hold onto 100+ savings.
Spend your money on fun inducements like goblin bribes and halfling chefs, eh, plus always room for more Dirty Players!
Custom Star PlayersThe Southern Wastes has a few old stars around from the days of yore, looking to earn their keep by playing invitationals to lop-sided match ups, These magnificent speciments won't grace the pitch every game, but should make a difference when they do.
Wizards everywhereThe regulation and common peace among Wizards is long gone in the Southern Wastes, they'll drop a Fireball on anyone's tight cage for a sufficient sum of money up front. Sometimes they even knock players over with it! Rumors of enfroggenating foes have proven true, roll ST+ on target and then squish it!
NO TimeoutsThe HatchetMan desires matches be played at a good pace but such skulduggery such as timeouts will not be tolerated. it would be expected that if an opponent is taking too long, a player would kindly ask them to hurry it up. any further issues may be taken to the admins.
NO ConcessionsConcessions disgust the HatchetMan. In fact, as the fans desire blood and the heaping on of misery, there will be grave punishments for the weak of heart. Concede and your best non-permed player will leave the team, you are ineligible for any awards, and you get -3 pts to start next season. Conceding twice is a permanent ban from the SSL.
Spiked Ball (madness)A failed pickup or catch roll at any time results in the such failing players being stabbed, and it'll keep stabbing and stabbing and stabbing and stabbing if it can.
This will result in a turnover if the stab breaks armour on any player on the moving team.
Right Stuff (boost)Right Stuff cancels Tackle when a Right Stuff player is blocked by a Tackle player, too small to keep hold of.
Sneaky Git (change)Sneaky Gits are banned for fouling like a normal player but then sit in the KO box might and sneak back on later!
Sneaky Git also functions like Guard for assisting fouls, sneaking in some extra help.
Fouling (boost)Players get +1 to break armour when fouling, so please remember to foul, especially the good players, extra especially if they have niggles.
Skill Rolls (forced)*Players must take all stat gains (choose +MA or +AV, take +AG, take +ST), even if you rolled doubles (e.g. 5+5).
*Stunty teams (Goblin, Halfling, Ogre, Underworld) ignore this rule, nuffle also takes pity on such lowly teams.
NO player retirementsRetirement?? RETIREMENT??!??! The very mention of the word fills the HatchetMan with rage. ST3 Minotaurs... Blockers so maimed they struggle to get up... All this fills the crowd with joy. Always remember kids, the only way out... is DEATH.
DivisionsThe Red Mountains are our stunty home, the place for the weakest and most damaged, the least able new squads, and any stunties who want to pick on them all.
The Blasted Plains, the Paintree Rainforest, and the Whipsundays are home to the rest, with the first place team holding their division from season to season and everyone else being reassigned to minimise repeat games in our small league.
League Points4 win (or forfeit win); 2 draw; 1 loss; 0 forfeit.
Tie BreakersIf two or more teams end on the same points total at the end of a season, the tie is settled accordingly.
1. Head to Head results
2. TD diff average
3. TD for average
4. Cas diff average
5. Cas for average
6. Coin Toss
Post SeasonAfter their last game, and taking on the Wheel of Misfortune as appropriate, any team short of a full roster of 13 full time players and no money to fix that, should let league admin know they need a helping hand. Sufficient funds will be provided to buy all the positions you want, and then your remaining treasury will be stripped. Stunty teams may ask for as many players as they like.
