Background
The Deserted Isles is a barren windswept archipelago a few days sail East of the great continent of the Southern Wastes. Blood Bowl is a religion on these lands, though it mostly exists as a disorganised series of drunken encounters. Many have tried to establish a national league but most competitions are festival events where teams from around the Isles descend upon a town for two days of Blood Bowl mania. The three majors are The Greenstone Cup, The Capital Shield, and the Mainland Bowl. These events are marathons where teams play 6 games each over the space of a weekend. Mere mortals can't possibly complete such a task unassisted, copious amounts of a magical brew appears to help, and it is rare that a player will emerge from such events with anything more severe than a massive smile on their faces.

Local leagues do exist in the main three centres, and the recently established Deserted Isles Blood Bowl Leeg (DIBBL) has led to the launch a few notable competitions including: The Big Star Cauldron, The Crazy 8s, and Stunty-go-Round. However, these competitions rarely span more than a few weeks, and the prizes never cover more than beer money. Don't get us wrong, there's nothing wrong with beer money. This is what drives most of the teams on the Isles. However, a few greedy souls have cast their eyes Westward. There lies the great Southern Wastes League. A competition bankrolled by mega rich mining companies, there's plenty of money to be made across the Tazman Sea. True, the beer over there may take a bit of getting used to, and the locals speak a little funny, but there is money to be made. Oh, so much money. Over the past two seasons, a flood of DIBBL Invaders have made the journey West. Some set-up a base there, some spend most of their weekdays on the long commute. But of this there is little doubt: We are taking over.
