Valen Swift, one of the most venerated Pro Elves from Blood Bowl’s old NAF teams, has issued a challenge to all Pro Elf teams – prove your athletic superiority over the Dark, Wood and especially those haughty High Elves by competing in Season IX of the E.L.F!
E.L.F. League records display a high disparity between the races:
Wood Elf teams have won 5 times.
High Elf teams have won twice.
And now even a Dark Elf team has won!
But no titles belong to a ‘Pro’ Elf team…
Coach Swift has revived some ancient accolades for those Pro Elf teams that show the athletic superiority of professional elves upon the pitch:
- Golden Gloves Award (1) – awarded to the Pro Elf team with the greatest positive touchdown differential among reported games.
- ‘Pro’ Hall-of-Fame (?) – any Pro Elf team completing the cycle will have their name etched inside.
- Banner of Division (0-5) – will hang at the stadium of any Pro Elf team to win a category.
- Trophy of Lombardi (0-1) – Bestowed upon the Pro Elf team to finally win the overall E.L.F. title.
Pro Elf teams playing up to Valen’s high standards will have these special honors conferred upon them and have their names forever enshrined upon the E.L.F. group page.
Not only has no Pro Elf team taken the title, since the advent of the new scoring format in Season V only twice has a Pro Elf team even won a category. Surely there is a coach out there who can take these nerves-of-steel catchers and cheap linemen to a their rightful place among the champions of the E.L.F?
Elves of all colors/races are welcome and encouraged to join (This whole "Pro Elf thing” is just a clever marketing ploy) - be they unblemished TR100 or grizzled veterans of +250TR. Most teams play in Ranked where matches are easier to find, but teams playing in Unranked and Faction are also welcome! Each season lasts for about 2 months and coaches can play as few or as many games as they choose - you can even replay any matchup until you "get it right!"
Season IX will kick off on June 1st at 12:01am (bbtime) and ends promptly at Midnight on July 31st!
Check out the E.L.F. league page for more information and to join up (with any elf race).
New coaches are welcome! |

Mhm. Seems like I finally need to get that unnamed (well they have a "working title" ... "Pro's Ethics") Elf team done. Still need names for 16 Players though .
[And to give those unranked E.L.F. Players some fodder, there's also an orc, vampire and khemri team waiting to be named ]
