Season 2 Final Standings

After a series of playoffs that left every team battered and bruised followed by a savage, bloody final that included a turn 1 death, 5 KOs, an additional 8 casualties, and FOUR failed teammate throws, the Tromaville Terribads have managed to claw through the playoffs to claim victory for Season 2!
Congratulations to all involved, especially newcomer Mojo for posting the best overall record despite having only played like three games of Blood Bowl before starting the league. News on league awards and the beginning of Season 3 soon to come!

League Update: Season 2 Stats

The in-game Hall of Fame boards are, unfortunately, calculated off of players' lifetime stats rather than their season stats, so they're not good indicators of in-season performance. Fortunately for all of you, though, the league commissioner is a big stats nerd and did proper Hall of Fame boards by hand!

In Memoriam - Sir Pussy Arm

This season of Blood SBowl has been replete with thrills and chills appropriate for the whole family, provided that nobody in your family gets traumatized easily. We would be remiss, however, if we did not mention with a note of remorse the occasional tragedy, no matter how spectacular it may have been in the moment. It is in this spirit that we take a moment to remember a fallen fixture of the league: Pusstafar Braynard Armondson. Known for his unusually regal diction and effete manner somewhat inappropriate to a Blood Bowler, his teammates took to mockingly calling him "Sir" and "Milord" during basic training. When his accuracy and powerful throwing arm became apparent, however, the mockery turned to admiration (some of it, anyway). From then on his team and supporters referred to him mostly affectionately as "Sir Pussy Arm", we imagine because his full name was so long. Unfortunately, he was torn away from us suddenly during a regular season game against the Tromaville Terribads when the villainous skaven Knuckles pretended to be down and wounded until Pusstafar drew near, at which point he rose up and sunk his claws into the unsuspecting human's face. Of course, this act of treachery will go unpunished because it's wholly within the game rules and honestly it was pretty badass. But that does not mean that we cannot look back fondly upon our fallen friend!
