FUMBBL, the online Blood Bowl league

Each year the Tomb lords of the Khemri meet at a charred and blackened crack in the desert. There powerful magic is called upon from ancient Tomes and Lich Lords under vow to assist, and the dusty magical conflagration sends up a flaming beacon into the sky. Teams from all over the world see the sign and flock to the desert for the chance to compete for the Crown Of Sand.

The Crown Of Sand is accepting applications here.

Apply with whatever team you wish to enter into the Qualifiers.

At the moment that applications are closed, the 8 most numerous races are each placed into their own qualifier. The other races are allocated into these groups first in reverse (race 8 gains race 9, race 7 gains race 10) and then from 17-24 in the original order(so 1, 16 and 17; 2, 15 and 18), and the draw is made.

Each Tournament must feature the highest 5 TV applicants from the lead race in that group, the 3 highest from the race numbered 9-16 and the two highest from races 17-24 and be filled to a maximum of 16 teams, with the remaining highest TV teams from all the races allocated to that group. where this is not possible, filler teams will be used.

The draw will start at 22.00pm on Wednesday 15th July.

The winner of each Crown Of Sand Qualifier will recieve +1 bonus MVP and the winner of the main draw will recieve an additional +1 MVP. They may then chose to elect one of the players who completed the final to don the 'Crown Of Sand'. The Crown Of Sand gives the chosen player +ST and Leader for 70TV.

So what are you waiting for?

Apply to take part in the Crown Of Sand X.

Let me start with an apology to those coaches who rely on news posts to be informed about XFL. It seems something went wrong with the news item, which means this announcement is royally late.

Anyway, here goes. You have one final chance to qualify for the XFL Masters, which will kick off on August 19th. If you want to take part in this event you will need to win the qualifier for Elf Union, Norse or Skaven. These tournaments are now open for applications and will start on Wednesday July 1st. Any team from these races of any TV/TW is eligible to play, provided they are from the [B]ox or [R]anked divisions.

You can APPLY! to take part on the group page.

Get ready to rumble coaches! There are only two more rounds of qualifying left to grab a spot in this year's XFL Masters and this first of those starts next week!

Nurgle and Orc offer the last chances for the "big bad basher" type of teams and for Halflings the XFL is one of the few chances to actually win a tournament in the first place (not so much referring to the Masters obviously :P)

Anyway, if you have a [B]ox or [R]anked team of any TV/TW from these races you are hereby invited to APPLY on the group page.

The tournaments will kick off next Wednesday, June 3rd and have weekly deadlines.

The Grotty Little Newspaper is proud to present the Grotty Little Tournament!

High TV, Old Teams, Forlorn Races, Specialty Qualifiers?

You can apply to one of the following 4 qualifiers

High TV

Any Ranked or Blackbox team can apply to the High TV qualifiers. (2000+TV)

Old teams

Any Ranked or Blackbox team can apply to the Old Team qualifiers. (80+ Games)

Both High TV and Old teams are welcome to any team that meets the entry criteria. If you meet both either should work as they usually end up with a similar distribution of teams

Forlorn

Any Ranked or Blackbox team can apply to the Forlorn Races qualifiers as long as they are one of the races listed below.

If you are sending any of the following types of teams it is recommended you send them to this qualifier.

Chaos Renegades
Goblins
Halflings
Khemri
Norse
Slann
Underworld
Ogres (LRB4)
Amazons (LRB4)

We are including any teams that have not won a major since LRB4 in the forlorn qualifier now.

In addition one qualifier in this group will be made up of only Goblin and Halfling teams.

Speciality Qualifiers:

Any Ranked or Blackbox team can apply for any of the following qualifiers

1 High CR qualifier (over 165 CR)

1 Ranked qualifier

1 Black Box qualifier

1 Gauntlet qualifier (open to anyone)

All 4 specialty qualifiers are in the same group so the High CR qualifier will be filled first, then Ranked/Blackbox, and finally the Gauntlet. Please have this in mind when applying.

Each specialty qualifier will attempt to be as close to the same size as possible

There is something for everyone!!

The Goblins have some special weapons for the winner. Two secret weapons from Chainsaw, Bombs, Ball and Chain and Pogo. All (except pogo) come with Secret Weapon.

So apply and have fun in the craziest major tournament of the year!

It is once again time for a new round of XFL XIV Qualifiers. This month the races that get to play are Amazon, Chaos Chosen and Vampire. A nice mix of flavours and styles for everyone to enjoy, and some races in the mix that don't get to play that many mirror matches normally. In short: we're counting on another massive turnout!

If you have a [B]lackbox or [R]anked team from one of these races you are hereby invited to APPLY on the group page. The tournaments will start on May 6th.
