I've edited the group page so for now the tr cap is 135. This is to stop a few high end teams dominating the league and also from uber bashers from retiring everyone before it starts. I'm considering an Underdog bonus of +1 point for games that are against an opp with a TR and TS difference of 10+. this would hopefully encourage people to play those higher tr teams and keep games flowing when someone inevitably takes a few casualties. if enough people join the cap can be raised or even removed.
Let me know your thoughts |

The group page looks great now, and it´s clear on the rules. A few things though:
For easy contact, add a link to this forum thread, and name a channel for the group.
Under 'League rules' it says 'TR 100-135 LRB Compliant Unranked Teams Allowed', and under 'Team Restrictions' it says 'Only TR100 teams are allowed'. The former is the correct one, yes?
Good job! Now lets hope the league spurs some interest and we can get started on the matches. |

What do people think of having an UNDERDOG RULE:
If playing and opp with a TS of 11 or more higher, a team gets an extra +1 point for the game. This would mean they would get 4/2/1 for the game. The idea of this would be that if people try to cherry pick those with less experienced or beat up teams, they will be under more pressure to win the game as affectively a draw would see the underdog coming out with more league points. This would also mean those flagging behind would still have all to play for as a few wins vs experienced opponents could bring them back into play.
This would generate a little extra work for me and stampy, as you guys would have to Post us a link to the game report and we'd then have to edit your score. |

Sounds like a good plan to me Jigplums. My advice would be to implement the ruling for the first couple of seasons to see how it pans out.
On a side note - we need more coaches!
Anyone with a TR 100-135 unranked team clogging up your team list should sign up, there's nothing to lose and alot of excitement to gain! |

if you want to stop cherry pickers, how about the other way aroound? instead of the underdog getting a +1 bonus how about the HIGHER ranked team getting -1 points. that seems like a more direct deterrent, especially if there are a larger number of teams involved. that way if you lose to a weakling team you cherry pick you actually lose league points from the humiliating defeat  hehe.
just my 2 cents,
C. |

Even though I'm not 100 % sure that the underdog rule is cool right now I think that communist is on the right track..
What if the teams have a lot of TR difference? Handicaps are designed to make the match more even, so what I'm suggesting is that if the other team has >= 11 TS difference AND he doesn't give away, say 2 handicaps or more, then he would get -1 for that match in league points.
I think that it would be better that way. |

that probably does make more sense actually. As we all know the handicap's rarely make the difference otherwise cherrypicking wouldn't be so virilant. The only problem i see doing in that way, is that the minus would have to be done manually[as does the +1 underdog bonus atm] Therefore coaches would have to pm a link to the match report so the change could be made. If a player is gaining +1 for a win, at least they would be motivated to pm. However it then relies on the opponent to pm and say, my opp had a higher ts.
Maybe that wouldn't be a problem as people would be more than happy to send the pm's pointing out there opponents misfortune.
Good to hear your opinions, will have to have a think about the best way of going about this. |

Hmm.. Over 50 % of the handicaps are at least good if not great..
I think that handicaps are worth 5 TS a piece in general as they are in the CR point system. |

Ok Guys, we're hoping to start the qualifying round this Monday if we can attract another 15-20 coaches this weekend.
I think its an acheiveable target.
Good luck in your promotional efforts!
This will be massive |

Excellent, at last look we had 39 teams entered for the inital qualifying round which will give coaches a massive amount of similarly ranked teams to but heads against all in the 100-135 TR range. More of course would be even sweeter.
I am going to be looking after the Underdog Scoring so PM your special concerns/game results to me.
Since you're not forced to play these games and can pick and choose, I for one am not too concerned about cherry-plucking. I like the 4/2/1 bonus for understrength team though I like 1 point for a loss regardless. A team that losses a game should be ranked higher than the team that hasn't played one, imo. |

nice break down mate, will be interesting to see how the ts break down looks at the end of the 6 weeks, and is telling that all 3 undead teams are the top 3 ts wise. Prehaps thats why zombies have increased by 10k in lrb5  |

The first day of Maximum Impact Fumbbl’s qualifying division Kicked off Today with some excellent Bloodbowl, with over 25 games being played. Already coach valen’s aptly named Maximum impact dwarves taking an early lead with 12 points on the board and 6 games under there belt. Hot on the dwarven heels are jigplums Nocturnis morbidious with 7 points and coach purpleplums and tati both lying on 6 points. As promised it has been a brutal start for the teams in the Gauntlet, with 2 teams having been retired already. only nuffle can tell what tomorrow will bring |
