In an effort to bridge the Sea of Claws, the nobility of Bretonnia financed a new blood bowl tournament. Teams from across the Old World were invited to come and represent either Albion or Bretonnia in their quest for the Old World Challenge Cup.
For more information, please see the group page.
Kislev Conference Opens for Season IV
The Old World Challenge Cup is looking for a few new coaches to replace out-going teams before the start of our fourth season.
We're a small-ish league (28 coaches) with an unusual format - a short swiss-style league followed by knock-out tournaments - that guarantees a fast and furious season, with everything to play for even at the end of the season!
New teams will start in the new second-tier Kislev Conference, and will have the chance to work their way up to the top over the next couple of seasons. Can you build your team up, and eventually challenge the dominance of current champions, the Barak Varr Goldlords?
If you can play in European-friendly times, and either have past league experience or have been around on FUMBBL for a while, you're exactly who we are looking for! Send me a PM to apply. |

I forgot to mention, if we get enough interest to get it going, anyone with graphical skills to make a logo, cups, etc. would be very welcome! |

Which races are allowed? Any? |
Yes, all races allowed, but only 2 of each in the league, allocated by draft before the start. Any only one of each in each conference.
So, at the beginning, all coaches pm their top 5 choices in order. We'll go through them in a random order, allocating each coach to their top available race. It may turn out that everyone gets their number one choice; I suspect a few might have to settle for their second or third. |

Great, that's 3 so far - just 13 to go!
When you get a chance, send me a PM with your top 5 preferred races. |

Hmmmm, I've wanted a good league to play in for a while. I'm in an American time zone, but I don't have any classes on Fridays or Weekends, and I think I probably have enough breaks in between classes to fit in games on the other days. If there's no problem with that, I'd like to join. |

Well I have applied.
It suits me as my time zones are almsot exclusively between 2000-0000 Server time due to work and children.
I have played over 1000 [L] games and much prefer to play in a league as opposed to casual games. |

Hey, I've been looking for a UK time zone league, I've not played many games on here but I've always played my league games. 7pm - 12pm bbt is pretty much perfect for me as I'm in the UK and if I'm in work I usually always get home 7pm bbt. I'll PM you with my teams when I've had a think about them |

@Drrek - That should be fine. As long as you are flexible to European timezones, you're welcome.
@bghandras - Yes, we could also include the rule that modifiers don't affect Piling On, if the group are keen.
@Russo - I'd love to have you on board; since we're limiting races to max two of the same in the league (for diversity), we're running a draft at the beginning of the season. The hope is that everyone gets their first choice, but they might have to settle for second or third. If you're still interested, would you mind PM'ing me your list of top five preferred races (in order), rather than applying a team to the group yet? Thanks! |

We are currently at 8 coaches: myself, Chainsaw, JanekT, Vesikannu, murgabot, Drrek, uzkulak, and moonrally. Plus Russo hopefully.
Just need 7/8 more, and we can get going! |
