TLDR: Secret League Dorf tournament PM RicardoGrande if you're interested.

The Belegar Ironhammer Invitational (aka GRUDGE FEST): A Dorf-Only Secret League Blood Bowl Tournament.

We remember every slight. Every defeat. Every missed tackle. Every mildly impolite comment on Cabal Vision. — Coach Grogni Grumblebelt, before incinerating his own apothecary for sneezing during kickoff.

Cutlery! Coaches! Compulsive scorekeepers! Do you find yourself irritated by elves? Does the idea of agility upset you on a spiritual level? Do you believe the proper way to play Blood Bowl is by forming a line and punching until everyone is dead, and then winning 1-0 on Turn 16?

Then polish your beard, count your grudges, and ready your rune-stamped bribes, because it's time for... GRUDGE FEST!!!!!! An OSBBL Off-Shoot so grumpy, even the ghosts of dead dorfs are too petty to move on.

This is a Dorf-only tournament, for those proud few who believe block dice should always be taken, that passing is for idiots, and that victory should be earned in inches of blood-soaked turf, not skittery touchdowns.

🏔️ FORMAT:

Standard OSBBL 2020 rules (ruleset 2319 )

All teams must be Dorfs from the secret league. This includes Chaos Dwarf teams and Dwarf Hold teams. No beardless imposters. No elven nonsense. No goblin trickery. No snotlings. Beards required. Helmets optional.

Grudge fest will be two rounds. The first round is a round robin for fresh dorf teams. The top three coach from the first round will then proceed to the second round where they will play-off in a knock oout round against already existing OSBBL dorf teams for the ‘Unreturned Stein’.

Each coach must arrive with a personal grudge, real or imagined. These will be publicly listed and scored by participants. This in conjunction with team fluff will be the first tie breaker for the first round.
Weekly rounds. Starting 21 July.

OSBBL is an Australian and New Zealand league, with a slight lean to NZ. Coaches should expect to play their games in AEST or NZT.

🪓 WHY JOIN GRUDGE FEST?

Because Blood Bowl should hurt.
Because some grudges are too old to forget.
Because your 0-0 draws still keeps you up at night.
Because it's time dwarfs had their own stage one where the ball is incidental, the grudges are sacred, and the beer is mandatory.

🔧 HOW TO SIGN UP:

None More Block are ready to turn The Belegar Ironhammer Invitational up to eleven. Looking down upon all the other OSBBL teams as a Dwarf towering over Stonehenge.

Our biggest grudge is against the Karaka Eight Peaks Royal Post. Those incompetent nincompoops lose thousands of fan mail letters every week, and have been doing so for years. I bet the cowards won't even turn up.

I'm not being so crass as to grudge a team. They're just professionals doing their jobs.

No, I'm going to lay the wrath of my ancestors upon one man only. I Got 99 Grudges - and The_Squigadier is most definitely one. My OSBBL white whale, turning my dice to shit with what I assume are elf bullshit magics. I had to replace both my Giant Slayers after the last match my dorfs had against this man. His entries in the Book of Grudges grow ever longer and more degenerate.

This cannot stand.
