Black Box Brawl & Carnage Cup!
Another week - more black box brawls...apply HERE if you want to join the fun.
The 5 ARR brawls are drawing to a close - another update, starting with the highest TV brawl and working our way down:
Black Box Brawl CCXLVI featured two Ogre teams and a Vampire team competing against several Khemri teams and a few others. A Khemri team has been waiting in the finals, but in an upset, Ogres has smashed past dwarves to push their way into the finals - demanding some respect...but nope!. The Khemri comes out on top this time!
Black Box Brawl CCXLVII featured a lone Ogre team against a wide field: Necro, DE, Chaos, Human and 2 Khemri teams. We will not rehash what happened to the Ogre team...down to the finals...Chaos vs Necro in this one.
Black Box Brawl CCXLVIII features six ARR teams (Goblins, Halflings, Elf, Elf, Vampire, High Elf) and two spoilers - Dwarf and Wood Elf. The Wood Elf team was disposed of in the first round by the High Elves, while an Elf team took out the Dwarves in the second round. The finals were between Elf and High Elf - with a back and forth game decided in OT with the High Elves coming out on top.
Black Box Brawl CCXLIX features six ARR teams (2 Goblins, Halflings, Slann, Vampire, High Elf) and two spoilers - Humans and CDs. The Halflings took care of the Humans, but came up short in round two against the CDs. The Slann easily dispatched the Vampires - so it is down to the finals: CDs vs Slann!
Black Box Brawl CCL has several rookie or close to rookie teams and features six ARR teams (Underworld, Vampire, Halfling, Elf, Goblins, Slann) and two spoilers - Humans and Norse. Halflings took care of the humans in round 1 and the Elves took out the Norse in round 2...then proceeded to just decimate the Underworld to the tune of 8 CAS on their way to the championship - well done! There is a lesson there...dwarves struggle against Underworld...but Elves just chew them up!
That is all good and stuff...but sooo much talk about ARR teams, stunty, elves - FUBAR. Very gentle and loving this blackbox has become. Even the Wheel of Chaos - the once proud Chaos teams have all but vanished...is there no more bash left in the box?
Well...time to find out! On March 16th applications will be accepted for the Carnage Cup...which will start on the 23rd. This is not any normal brawl...not at all. Instead, the prize for this Cup will go to the team that inflicts the most blood and broken bones during the tournament. Yup! No pansy elves are going to win this one. This Cup will be for all the bash teams that can inflict CAS and still win the games. Unlike other tournaments - this one is going to reward teams for pushing other into OT just to get a few more CAS - yes...this is only for the most brutal and most terrorizing of teams! More details below:
- Standard KO tournament
- Prize is awarded to team that ends the tournament with the most CAS inflicted (as shown on the match summary) - so *probably* a team that makes it to the finals, but not necessarily.
- Prize would be dependent on number of entering teams - need at least 32 teams for there to be a prize - which would be fan favorite given to the player that inflicted the most CAS on the team that inflicted the most CAS. If more than 64 teams, then Fan Favorite + Foul Appearance to that player.
- Since prize is given for inflicting injury, fouling often and certainly fouling on T16 is encouraged. In addition, taking a game to OT just to inflict more CAS is also a viable option.
- No stunty teams are allowed to enter.
- Any coach that concedes a game will be banned from all tournaments for no less than 6 months.
- No forfeits will be given during the tournament, all games must be played.

If the Chaos teams fail to turn up to the Carnage Cup I believe this would be a clear signal that they are no longer capable of representing their gods in a tournament, let alone host a tournament. The only sensible course of action would be to revoke the Major status of the Wheel of Chaos, downgrading it to a Minor.
The Human League have it on good authority that Altdorf would be more than capable of hosting a second major every year. As the spiritual home of both Bloodbowl and Humanity there would be no place more suitable to host a new Box Major.

Does No Stunties Allowed include Ogres and Underworld?
I'd have loved to have taken gobbos too :'(

Pretty sure he means no goblin or halfling teams, though all snot or all underworld goblin teams (purposely built that way) would likely be illegal as well.
