As a Stunty player, I get a little jealous of all the meta-groups, leagues and tourneys the big leagues have. The Necromiser was great; I can't wait for the next major, which I seem to remember hearing will be TNT in February, right? It's good to see Stunty doing well, and although I realise this may not be the ideal time, with the ongoing revamp, well, damnit, I want more structure to my Stunty. Or at least the option for it, sometimes.

So, anyway, shamelessly stealing ideas from other people, one thing I've enjoyed has been random race leagues. I'm a fluffer at heart, and those leagues have let me play, and learn (a little) with other races, without any feeling of disloyalty to my usual default choices in anything GW-related: the many and varied shades of Chaos.

So, yeah, getting to the point: would anyone be interested in such a thing? I'm thinking one team of each race, split into probably 3 groups of 5, play everyone in your group twice; then a final play-offs, the structure of which is still a little vague in my head, with there being 3 group winners.

I realise that at the moment you can't make Stunty teams in L, so this'd be more like the meta-groups, I guess. You'd just have to make a new team, remember not play it except against your group members, etc. I'm open to discussion about the finer points of how it'd all work, if there's sufficient interest.

I'm in.

Is it true that you can't make leagues with Stunty teams? I thought I was just reading yesterday about how you could.
Must have been some old info...

EDIT:
(this is the page I was looking at-- it's been updated for recent roster changes, I think, but maybe the info at the top is wrong-

Well, I looked at making a group, but I couldn't figure out how to let it accept Stunty teams on the Group Members page. Might just be me, but I'm under the impression you can't do it any more. Although I guess it's possible somehow, the Necromiser did it. Hmm. Anyone able to clarify?

Yeah, that's right, rookie teams to start the first season.

Let's make this thing. I'm in.

Fastest way would be opening a forum thread for every group where every match result and team position is updated as the matches go on.

How about extra points for funny things like fouls and killings, and special prizes for the best players? (top scorer, top killer, top fouler etc.)

Cool, just one more and we've got the first 5 anyway.

A thread for each group makes sense. And yeah, prizes are always good; will have to include some for TTM TDs and TTM cas/RIPs too. Especially with the TNT coming up.

You could under lrb 4. However stunty and league transferred over at different times. So Stunty teams were not added to league at that time.

I don't when/or why this is still the case, however I don't think there's any particular reason outside of waiting for whatball to finish his review.

I was under the impression that Stunty teams in L was going to be replaced when the rest of the L customization stuff comes in. But unless somebody knows for sure that that will happen very soon, I'll go ahead without.

Ideally, I'd like 15 coaches, one for every race, but 6 is enough for a little version at least. So I'll wait a bit longer, give some more people a chance to see this, but it's definitely happening. Hoody hoo!

There are many great Stunty coaches that probably haven't read the thread yet. I'm sure they will jump in the carnage very soon, nobody can resist the call of a Stunty tourney.

And by the way: I hope to get Strigoyans.
