I fail to see what cherrypicking has to do with this.
You played down 18 SR against a chaos team, you got beaten up, and you got a draw.
So, what ?

Poor chaos team, being cherrypicked by evil elves 
We all mourn for such wussiness and that's why we hate cherrypicking. |

If I was playing chaos and I had a chance to tie at T4 in second half, I'd stall to the end too. What's the point of scoring if you give an Elf player 4 turns to receive? |

I just watched the replay of the game and I gotta say I don't understand what Borgen is talking about. His opponent even tried to score in turn 6 (he couldn't score earlier) but failed a gfi. Sure, he could then score in turn 7, but there is really no point in doing that. So absolutely nothing wrong in his stalling. Though the last 2 fouls was completely unnecesary (on a stunned player when he got no more turns to stand up in) but I guess they were due to opponent whining. |

The point is to get the win, because the elves with 5 players on the field can do nothing but to let you get the ball after a turn or 2. Then you win easily. |

Once I managed to tie a game with just 4 elves against 11 dwarves in two turns. TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lucky, but elves live to do those kind of things (and most of the time then they die).
I can see the point of ensure the tie. Actually I´d have scored to try to score again, but probably I´d have lost the match. |

well I'd give it a shot too, especially if I am better than my opponent. If it's not the case or at same level, I don't know. Would depend on the teams.
According to Webbe, though, it was not what happend. |

I "re-engaged" on the foul because he had gotten the ref, this did not leave me open to more fouling.
As to being "outplayed" I'm not saying I'm the best player, but by turn 4 or 5 I decided it wasnt worth trying to stop the TD since it was likely to occur anyway, and blocked my better players in to prevent them from being surrounded and fouled. Judging the use of my blitz moves past this point is ridiculous. Though he would have lost if he didnt roll a 6 on a pick.
My opponent decided to try to kill my players simply for the sake of killing them, with no other purpose. I didnt think that was much fun. Similar to another chaos team i played a week back that DP'd my witch elf when the game was 3-0 halfway through the 2nd half.
So I'll have to avoid coaches who take DP/claw before other skills because in my experience, they arent taking those skills to win games. |

Bloodbowl is not a fair game.
You are a fari player = play fair.
But you must accept other ways to play the game. |
