Blitz 'Dem - GDR Edition #2; Issue #4

'Blitz 'Dem', the preeminent periodical for all things Blood Bowl, having been published by diligent grotz since 1964 IC, brings you the key facts from the opening Gameweek of the inaugural season of the Greenskins Draft Rumble.

= GAMEWEEK 4 ROUND-UP =

A fascinating week as numerous players stood up and were counted for their teams, with no less than 5 players racking up the SPPs, 9 players breaking the threshold of 10 blocks in a game, and 6 players covering 29 rushing yards or more. The Marquee Players are not the only ones who are proving their importance for GDR teams.

= STAR PLAYER POINTS =

None of last week's players managed to break into the top tier; they were replaced by a quintet of quality athletes:
6 SPP - Toe Ripper (Iron Crag Claws), Grulg Bonecleava & Jorn L. Waaagh! (both Dragonback Squigs), Grum Skullcleava (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics), Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skullsmasherz)

= CASUALTIES =

There was an increase in deaths this week, but no one player stood out as being more deadly than any other - and both most brutal players play for the same side;
2 casualties - ★ Dazkhul Beastmaw ★ & Naruba Lagramph (Nordland Skullsmasherz)

= BLOCKS =

A wealth of players appeared in this category and it seems that each team is finally identifying who is best suited to hand out some hurt;
12 blocks - Leg Snapper (Iron Crag Clawz), Grudgak Skullbasher (Middenland Ironskins)
10 blocks - Thogg Ironjaw, Wubdagog, Grash Bonechewer (all Badlands Black Feathers), Arm Snapper (Averland Bat-Squigs), Gurog Uzugarn, Dakkul Beastmaw, Grotz Eargrinda (all Karak Azgarak Fanatics)

= TOUCHDOWNS =

A more defensive shift or a desire to spread out the glory of being the points scorer? Who can say, so it may be unsurprising to see just two players racking up more than 1 touchdown this week;
2 touchdowns - Jorn L. Waaagh! (Dragonback Squigs), Grum Skullcleava (Karak Azgarak Fanatics)

= FOULS =

One fewer in the number of foulers this week. The prevalence of cagey, narrow games, meaning coaches don't risk fouling players being removed, appears to have led to coaches' benching their most pesky players;
===UPDATE=== Our goblins were alerted to an oversight... An incredible fouling masterclass from the Black Feathers little runt, Rukzit. Well done that man!
2 fouls - Slugg Bonekrakka (Dragonback Squigs); Urza Spinechoppa (Drakwald 'Ardboyz); Skabzit Mudspitta (Nordland Skullsmasherz)
3 fouls - Cut Cut Gelder (Iron Crag Claws)
6 fouls - Rukzit the Menace (Averland Bat-Squigs)

= RUSHING YARDS =

A wealth of ball-carrying talent here from six different franchises

29 yards - Indestructible (Iron Crag Claws); Zagh Slugweava (Estalia Gutrippers); Zaggruk Goreblade (Badlands Black Feathers); Hazel Nuts (Grom peak Scrappers)
35 yards - Orzog Shugdurban (Nordland Skullsmasherz)
36 yards - Grom Skullcleava (Karak Azgarak Fanatics)

= PASSING YARDS =

Only one player features and it says a lot about how coaches remain cautious in the early stages of the season that they prefer to run the ball rather than anything through the air. pHold up, didn't I write the same thing last week...?
4 yards - Groth Bonegnasha (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics)

= AWARD WINNERS =

Each Gameweek, there will be awards for some notable players and coaches:

MVP
It has to be Grom Skullcleava of the Karak Azgarak Fanatics. Skullcleava featured in the SPP, touchdowns, and rushing yards categories. A scoring threat to be reckoned with by any opponent.

Golden Clipboard
IntrepidWilson (Dragonback Squigs)

Coach Wilson may have been fortunate to see his 0-0 grindfest pick up Best Result last week but there's no chance a 3-0 win can be overlooked. Marquee Player Jorn L. Waaagh! ran in 2 touchdowns and the Squigs outblocked, out-passed, and out-classed the Piratz, who were unbeaten until that point. 2nd round pick, Grulg Bonecleava, ran rampant - in 8 turns he made 5 blocks and picked up an MVP vote for his aggression and tactical positioning.

Best Result
RobinFern (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics)

MATCH	SCORE	SCORERS
Karak Azgarak Fanatics	2	G. Skullcleava x2
Grom Peak Scrappers	1	H. Nuts

The rehabilitation of the Fanatics was completed this week. The Champions Cup finalists had been beaten in the first week, were awarded a forfeit win against the Steel Claws, fought hard for a draw last week, and finally got a fully-deserved win this week. After Skullcleava scored in just two turns, the Scrappers lived up to their name with some vital blocks and an equaliser from Hazel Nuts, who is making a name for himself this season. However, the real scrap was in the second half where the Fanatics suffered 3 KOs and 2 serious injuries but still managed to get themselves over the line. Once again, the Fanatics completed a match without committing a single foul - a truly disgraceful statistic, but one they can be unbearably smug about.

= IN MEMORIAM =

For every winner, there must be a loser and, to give them their (final) moment in the limelight, we recognise those players who left us this week:

‣ Naomi Miattraddi (Tilean Sea Piratz) - after 4 games, 2 touchdowns, and 1 MVP vote, the Blitzer appeared to have a promising career. Not any more...
‣ Split Bonechukka (Middenand Ironskins) - a handy free agent pick, but the Ironskins suffer their second fatality in two games.
‣ DaMangla Overkill & Vernon Squiggs (Drakwald 'Ardboyz) - these franchise rookies, with 11 games apiece spanning the first two season - both with 1 casualty and 1 MVP - retired to the commentary box in the sky after their defeat to the Skullsmasherz, or the 'Cursed Game', as 'Ardboyz owner Chukka Chones named it.

FUMBBL League News 18 May 2025

2025-05-18

Compiled from across FUMBBL, this is all the news that's come to my little furry ears. Separated into four sections: 'Public' Leagues, Open Play Environments, Independent Tournaments, and Meta-groups. If you know more that is going on, please let razmus know so he can add it to the next edition, which should be the second week in June. I've added a channel for conversation amongst League Commissioners on my FUMBBL Leagues Discord. If you're interested in the conversation, please jump into the general channel and ask to be elevated for the commissioner's channel.

The census says that there are still 1010 distinct, active coaches on FUMBBL who play in leagues, which is a slight slip in the number. Two numbers are given for the range of the league size, because 'active coaches in a league' is a poorly defined descriptor. When the numbers are very different - the league is likely in flux, have some deadwood teams/coaches in their locker rooms, or be at the start or end of a cycle/season (when there's usually a lot of inactive coaches watching the playoffs). Numbers very close together should be pretty close to the 'actual' active coach population (whatever that means) for the group.

I wanna play now!! Which groups should I look at?
These are the leagues closest to looking for more coaches right now. It might still be a bit before you'd play.

Open Play Environments
Open play environments are places where teams can be built to play against other teams in the same environment, usually without scheduling the game, although many open environment also offer their own activities for teams to compete against one another if the coaches wish to participate.

Competitive
Rules	BB2020 - using the latest rules available. Now with redraft/seasons. No Mega-stars.
Activity	Very high activity. This is the most active environment on FUMBBL
To play	Make a team from your Coaches page for the Competitive division and put them in Gamefinder, or activate teams in the Black Box (also now within gamefinder) or seek games on the FUMBBL Discord (the last is more popular with people seeking those last few games to fill a grid.) Be aware that the box random scheduler now separates virtual season one teams from everyone else.
Activities	Royal Rookie Rumble for new teams. (Recruiting 24/7!) Brawls for any Competitive team. Brackets break at 1350 and 1650. Minors double elimination tournament is running now, with another coming in June. XFL new season, with Chorfs running now. Dwarf, Goblin, Khemri, and Skaven starting in July. Major Tournaments spread out across the year, each with their own requirements and some with qualifier tournaments. The Grotty Little Tournament is running now, with the Crown of Sands scheduled for next in July. (CrisisChris has also put out his unoffical tournament overview.)

CIBBL Recruitment for Year 13 Autumn - Join Now!

CIBBL is recruiting again, as a new season is approaching - the last season of its 13th year.

Tired of always facing the same few races? Come and join a league with around 130 unique rosters.

Meet nearly 435 unique Star Players ready to show that you don't need the Morg 'n' Thorgs, Dribblesnots, Skuttlespikes & Piewhistles of this world to find glory.

Are you ready to create your own myths & legends?

CIBBL is one of the largest custom-roster scheduled leagues on FUMBBL and one of the largest active scheduled leagues on FUMBBL.

More importantly it is the place where stories are born!

CIBBL (CabalVision Inter-regional Blood Bowl League) is a seasonal fluff-heavy league, with regional play, cups and inter-regional ranked play, making use of CRP + SL teams and CRP+ rules, along with some modifications, edits and possible extras. CIBBL uses a unique, personal ruleset.

For more information, see the group HERE.

We are looking for committed reliable coaches to join CIBBL, but your journey is up to you. We are looking for you to join our next Autumn Season, where coaches are facing each other based on earned prestige. Games are on a 10 day cycle.

Maybe you want to create fouling history with goblins? Perhaps you want to chase the longest winning streak in the league? To us the games are important but the stories & rivalries are what make CIBBL unique.

Up for the challenge and willing to embrace the CIBBL universe? Send a PM to C0ddlefish and/or myself if you are interested!

Any questions or comments, please feel free to pop in at our Discord hideout or bring them up in private by PM.

"Top league to be a part of - really fantastic staff.
The best part; loads of spectators for all your games and if you’re new they will cheer you and boo your opponent all the way!

Great fun - join today!

When that guy pronounced that he had invented Blood Bowl, this is the sort of thing he was envisaging. CIBBL brings the game to life just that bit more with a real feeling of story and history to it, all so well put together and maintained by the CIBBL staff.
Loads of great coaches and loads of different teams make you want every FUMBBL game to be a CIBBL game." (Sweep12121)

"Best league I've ever been part of!" (Garion)

"Top admin staff and coach community, top tournament structure, top fluff and extras, top new teams and stars...top fun!" (Rbthma)

"CIBBL/BIBBL > Game of Thrones" (The_Carthaginian)

"I think the nicest thing I can say about CIBBL in terms of leagues etc is that I never ever thought I would play in a proper scheduled one. And CIBBL in terms of fumbbl-wide looks to me to have filled a void I didn't even know existed." (ArrestedDevelopment)

"As a new player with no idea what I'm doing, I have found CIBBL to be an exceptionally welcoming and friendly community, regardless of whether it's chattering in the Discord, spectating games (either in real-time or using the new Rewind functionality of the Cabalvision boxes) or losing them. Most fun you can have on FUMBBL!" (datom)
