With the FFB client's official release date drawing nearer, this will be the last E.L.F. season run under LRB4!

A discussion thread about adapting the E.L.F. to FFB will be created to hash out changes that need to be made (i.e. - adding new races to the Categories and moving neutered/pimped ones around). And then I'll need to convince some programming savvy types to fix the scoring program so it doesn't have to be done by hand. Anyways...

Quote:

The E.L.F. (Elves Leaving the Forest League, founded 1 Jan 2005 by AFK_Eagle) exists to expand the horizons of elven coaches. The perception amongst most of fumbbl is that an elf coach will only play another elf, for fear of team annihilation. Unfortunately, that perception, while not global, certainly has its roots in reality.

No more! We elven coaches are tired of being labelled "pansies" simply because we're faster and more agile than other races. Their jealousies of our natural gifts leads them to laugh at us and not take our game seriously. It's high time we taught them to rethink their opinion! We of the E.L.F. are going to not only accept challenges from other races, but issue them ourselves! Let them keep laughing as we pass and score at will against them. We might not gain their admiration, but at least by playing we can regain a measure of respect as proper members of the bloodbowl community.

Season XXV: Begins at 12:01 a.m. on November 7th, 2010 and end promptly at 11:59 p.m. on December 31st, 2010.

We will accept applications from any team of the four elf races for the 1st two weeks of the season. After that time, only new elf teams (or otherwise inactive ones) will be taken into the league. Apply here! We only accept LRB4 teams in Ranked, Blackbox and League for the time being.

This season is a straight out sprint for the top spots - no side challenges in this one. Don't miss out!

Here's a version of the bio table that Mnemon made a little bit user friendly for the html challenged:

I will be bringing a team.

The Hawkheim Harlequins is taking time off after having reached 400 games... figured it was a good milestone to stop playing LRB4 at for them.

I'll re-enter the Philadelfia Flyers for another run at the cycle and to see if I can get a medal place this time.

I'll also be entering a 2nd ranked HE team in Dorne.

Ok so I'm new to E.L.F and would appreciate someone just checking my scores for this match:
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&op=view&id=3089659

By my reckoning Win=10pts, TD's=3pts, Cas=3pts, Gate=6pts & Shutout=2pts. Total=24pts.

Have I missed anything? And do most coaches record their points on their E.L.F. grid or in match reports?

25 points mate, you missed a cas caused Very Happy

other than that, I tend to use a variant of the table pizza posted above, because it's easier to see where I can still improve, and look especially hard for games in those categories, though for particularly complex matches (with several bonuses etc..) I occasionally do a match report as well.
