All the league news fit to print and then some! Compiled from across FUMBBL, this is all the league news that's come to my little furry ears. If you know more that is going on, please let razmus know so he can add it to the next edition, which should be mid-November. The following leagues should have space/recruiting right now but will be starting their season 'soon': DLE2 (Europe/Americas), NCBB (Americas), and "Spelledaren's next big thing" (Global). |
Timezone/Region | World, but focused on Coaches new to Bloodbowl or new to Fumbbl | ✶ |
Rules | BB2020 | |
Current status | Current tournament is still active, but all filler slots are taken. Games are still being played. Stratification is ongoing with only a third of the field with more than a single game, and half the field having played none. Interested coaches should still visit the 145 Discord and participate because inactive teams are still being replaced. | |
Next steps | If you're new to Blood Bowl or new to FUMBBL, this is the group to help you get oriented! Join the discord, join the tournament. | |

Borg Invasion | |
Season | Perpetual |
Environment | Any/All |
Synopsis | Chaos Renegades teams as Borg collective. Start vanilla and play against other teams... and as you kill your opponent's players, you add their unique biological signature to the Borg. It was challenging under the BB2016 rules, and I suspect it's even harder now. |
