FUMBBL, the online Blood Bowl league

Our 20 team league needs a coach to take over a powerful team whose coach no longer has the time.

DLE2020 is a league of human teams vs other human teams. Think America's NFL.. but with spikes.

No getting pushed around by stinky Black Orcs, or lept over by cheating Gutter Runners. Skill or Nuffle rules in this league. We're not sure which.



We are about to begin Season 7, so all teams will be on 'equal' footing, around 1700 TV. It's a great time to join! You would even have time to draft 4 new players and customize your roster.

DLE2020 is a league of 20 human teams, using the human roster and full BB2020 rules. It is set up with NFL style conferences, divisions, and play-offs, and it holds a draft before each season begins, to add some new and interesting players into the mix. All teams begin a season around 1700 TV, which is not small, but not massive.



Draft League Extraordinare (DLE2020) uses FUMBBL's custom rule-set options, meaning we have custom icons and colors for our teams, and we have several talented icon masters to get your players the colorful armor you think they deserve!



Taking over an existing team, you keep the skilled players they already have, and can keep the team name, city, logo and colors, or you can choose a new Bretonnian city, team name, logo, and icons. Your choice. Check out the cool icons we are currently using.

Humans vs. humans.
Custom icons.

GREEN DUKES OPEN SEASON WITH LAST-SECOND 2-1 WIN OVER UC



To celebrate the kick-off of season 47 of the NCBB, Duqueswood University has launched a new mage-cast Tree-V station, DSPN, the Duqueswood Sports and Plants Network. Click the image above or this link to get a recap of the Green Dukes season opener vs. the U.C. Binturongs from Sturoot Scott and Chrys Burrtree.

(Major hat-tip to Avreus for inspiring this new format with his awesome Snot League coverage)


Transcript:

Sturoot Scott: Welcome to DSPN, the Dukes Wood Sports and Plants Network, bringing you the finest athletics and horticultural coverage from the Dukes Wood Forest. I’m Sturoot Scott, and with me as always, my offshoot from another oak root, Chrys Burtree.

Chrys Burrtree: Up later on the big show, stunning footage of wisteria growing up the eastern side of a stone.

Chrys Burrtree: But first, some exciting highlights from the Duqueswood University Green Dukes NCBB Season 47 blood bowl opener vs. the UC Binturongs.

Sturoot Scott: It’s the start of a new chapter for blood bowl in the Duqueswood, with former VP of Student Safety Baerys Pondripple taking over coaching duties from Gerric Smithson, and focusing primarily on his players not dying.

Chrys Burrtree: Interesting strategy. Not sure that’s even possible, but an elf can dream.
Sturoot Scott: Let’s pick things up in the rain-soaked first half with the Bintourongs threatening deep in Green Dukes’ territory. But … looks like they leave a crack a crack here giving shifty Deathwyntyr Whitebranch the chance to take down the ball carrier, even with that injured arm from last season.

Chrys Burrtree: You love to see it! Whoop! Whoop! And ... Whooooop!

Sturoot Scott: He leaps and dodges his way in on the ball carrier here, cooler than the other side of the leaf, and then … completely fail to make the block. Not sure if this kind of not-blocking is all part of Coach Pondripple’s new safety-first approach.

Chrys Burrtree: Yeah, apparently, he is rebranding the team’s wardancers as “peace dancers” this season.

Sturoot Scott: Either way, the failed block allows junior catcher Faluvio Cyton to waltz in for the TD putting UC up 1-0.

Duqueswood would quickly threaten to tie with thrower Phaedry Featherwind hitting Sophomore Kooper Kwick with a perfect pass near midfield, but then a key caging mistake by Coach Pondripple here leaves Kwick open for a backside blitz and ooh …

Chrys Burrtree: To quote my former colleague Treeith Treeberman, “The other team’s catcher must go down and he must go down hahd.”

Sturoot Scott: Right into the mud.

Chrys Burrtree: It’s OK though, he’s a history of dirt major, so this was ... research
Sturoot Scott: With the ball loose on the wet field, the Bintourongs opted to surround it to just prevent the score, but then a block here from Featherwind opens a possibility for senior lineman Lyric Birdsong, and …

Chrys Burrtree: He … could … go … all … the … way!

Sturoot Scott: And Birdsong ties it up 1-1.

Now we pick things up in the second half, where Duqueswood is playing shorthanded because two players have been tossed from the game for some nasty fouls.

Chrys Burrtree: Wait, fouling, how does that fit in with Coach Pondripple’s safety-first approach?

Sturoot Scott: Well,actually, Pondripple’s very pro-fouling. He said after the game the safest way to hit your opponent is when they’re already on the ground. And speaking of the ground, a key dodging error here sends Whitebranch to the turf.

Chrys Burrtree: Yikes, a wardancer—I mean, peacedancer—tripping on a dodge, everyone just hates to see that.

Sturoot Scott: Well, everyone except dwarves, and orcs …

Chrys Burrtree: And humans … and any of the undead teams … beastmen, lizardmen, chaos …

Sturoot Scott: Right, basically anyone who’s not a wood elf. So, yeah, let’s take look at that again, and … again … and again.

Chrys Burrtree: Ooh, that definitely looks painful. Can we see it one more time.

Sturoot Scott: OK, well that miscue looked to seal the win for UC, as junior catcher Faluvio Cyton has the ball deep in Green Dukes territory, poised for the game-winning score. But …

Chrys Burrtree: Nobody circles the branches like the Duqueswood University Green Dukes ….

Sturoot Scott: And Birdsong, who just had a monster game, catches Cyton from behind, knocking the ball loose for sophomore thrower Gilwyn Windhand to get a hold of it and heave a prayer up field.

Chrys Burrtree: Yep, here’s where things get as wild as a patch of Loren forest crabgrass. UC’s Tytozkar Koral makes a heck of a play, batting the ball away, but it lands right at the roots of Sophomore Treeman Mirlin Weatherborn, setting up this final sequence.

Sturoot Scott: As UC opts to stay far away from the ball and Weatherborn’s banches, Duqueswoon sets up a desperation hail fairy pass, and …

Chrys Burrtree: Junior catcher Zindari Dawnwind goes back back back back back, and comes down with the catch.

Sturoot Scott: Tree-yah! The Duqueswood University Green Dukes win their first game of the season in shocking, come-from-behind fashion.

Chrys Burrtree: Great stuff from those kids, and perhaps most shocking of all … no one died

That was so much fun, shall we
DO IT AGAIN!?!

I am proud to present Season 3 of the most Chaotic League on Fumbbl... and honestly anywhere for Blood Bowl.

New and updated, I went through every single roster on the site all the way back since the beginning of its creation, filtering through over 8000 teams to gather the players for this league.

What is the Nuffle league you ask? Well it is different from anything you have ever played before on this site. Think of it as a Roguelike version of Bloodbowl. You are given a starting team of 11 players that are completely random from a list of 1766 different positionals. To get another player, you get to roll 3 of those players, and you get to choose one. It allows for unique combinations and strategies that ensure that no two games will ever be the same, even against the same opponents.

We will be using the 2016 skill rolls, and the 2020 ruleset for the games played.

The ensure the balance of the league, we are lowered the number of bombers and big guys on the list. The average player may get a big guy about once every 4 rolls, and a bomber like rolling a natural 20 on a d20.

The Nuffle League features every single player currently on any roster on Fumbbl. This includes the regular teams, the secondary teams (Brettonia, Simyin, and Slann), the Stunty Teams, the Secret League Teams, CIBBL Modified Players - including their very own Carnival of Chaos, Relic Slann, and Blood Naga teams, along with some other more obscure teams with a ton of flavor, fluff, and fancy icons. In the past, we have had 616 players, but now, there are currently 1766 different positionals that could end up on your team!


If you are interested, please let me know and we will have Nuffle work their magic and get you a team all set up and ready to go. It does test your knowledge of the game as you will see everything, and probably some things you have never seen before.


We have players from both the US and European Time Zones. We are playing bi-weekly, 14 day roll overs. Come one and come all, to the most chaotic games you will ever play on this site!

XpherAndTheAxes: It's like TrashMouse is handing out Shrooms and random Figurines and telling us to play Blood Bowl

The Demon: There isn't a league like it. I play in a lot of leagues, and every league is different. Its uniqueness makes it amazing! Bow down to TrashMouse!


Carlo Pellegattti (Luca): The league concept is so cool it's weird it was not a thing before you came!


Wintergreen13: So excited to get my Nuffle League team going again! Love this league!



Here is our Discord which is what we use for our primary mode of communication: https://discord.gg/uQfjnkK5Uh


There is just one last question... Will Nuffle favor you?

After a first half that could only be described as hilariously bad, the Terrible Terrapins staged a second half for the record books coming back to pull off the draw against the well coached and impressive BGSU Falcons. While the draw is not a win (or so the Slann priests often tell us on the sacred day of the week), given how last season started the Terrapins can only be relieved by this outcome. 

The half started with Harmony One-Love (major - underwater biodegradable container construction) again forgetting she was in the middle of a blood bowl game. Off season rumors are swirling that Harmony has developed a friendship with a wood elf wardancer, both of whom are deeply connected with nature. Harmony must have been still thinking of those times in the Lustrian forest as throughout the first half she often stopped moving to stare out at the flowers growing at the side of the field. Harmony's struggles however, were matched by the rest of her team as Darren Damascus (major - Lustrian History) failed to pick up the opening kick off. BGSU quickly took advantage, sending their hired star Varag Ghoul-Chewer up the center to make a hole for P.J. Pope to come up and mark the ball. The rookie Saurus John Stevensville (major - statistics) went to try and push P.J. off the ball only to have himself knocked off the field. It was short work for P.J. to pick up the ball and run it in for the first score.

Second drive started much as the first as the drive moved forward deep down the field. Unfortunately, Jaxson Airy (major - economics) miss set his blocks and was knocked out as a result. Vanessa Gaithers-burg (major -economics) was able to pick up the ball and run it down to the end zone. Unfortunately, P.J. again was able to track her down and arrest the ball from her. Despite some bad luck by BGSU, Alessandra Alleygainy (major - Physics) ended up forgetting how to block and P.J. was able to run for a second score.


Coach Lancelott yelling at his team in the first half, and questioning his life choices

Rumors swirled that coach Lancelott was threatening player's scholarships at halftime and many of the players were seen bolting from the dugout halftime with a new fire in their eyes. At the start of the second half Mary's Land got off to a blazing start with a blitz on the ball. Jaxson Airy was able to run dep into the backfield of BGSU, only to trip after trying to go to far. This didn't end up coming back to bite the Terrapins as Phil Villapiano ended up fumbling the pick up. Jaxson took this opportunity to jump through the arms of both centaurs to encredibly pick up the ball and run in for the score. With this shot of confidence the Terrapins again kicked the ball and played with a renewed fire. This change obviously took BGSU by surprise as the team ended up getting stymied in the center of the pitch. The Terrapins took advantage of this by surrounding the ball and after a couple of fortunate bounces and a heroic blitz by chameleon skink O. Sean City (major - Business/Logistics), Phil Villapiano was forced to try to make a run for the end zone. This was run down by Mary Bethesda (major - Mathematics) after which Darren Damasucs picked up the ball and made a successful pass to Vanessa Gaithers-burg who ran in the ball for the equalizing score.
 
Coach Lancelott, asked after the game if he was really going to cut some of the players offered only a 'no comment'. Given this initial result, there is a lot of hope for the coming season and with all to play for there is a lot of excitement at the Mary's Land campus.

"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)
