I'm gonna bounce you right up, my buoyant buccaneering brothers!

Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 21 sounds great, penciling that in for some plank walking.

Cheers,
Barm

THE LEGENDS OF BLOOD BOWL, ISSUE NUL31:6


With only two match days left in the regular season six teams still have a chance of making top 2. 3 teams have 3 victories and 3 teams have 2 victories. That is about as even as it can be at this point of the season. So without further ado, let's check out the games.


Match 1 - Radio Rangers (Lizardmen) vs Khemri Astronauts (Khemri)
Strength versus strength. Radio Rangers need a win to have a shot at top2. Will their speedy skinks be the tipping point in their advantage compared to the somewhat agility challenged Khemri team? The astronauts engine problems have plagued them the entire season but if that works they sure want to play for the win and a chance to pass the Pirates. Will their ST4 skeleton be the tipping point in their advantage?


Match 2 - Dis Thing of Ours (Underworld Denizens) vs My Little Hashut (Chaos Dwarfs)
This is definitely the most interesting game this day. The second place team versus third place team fighting it out. The winner will be in top 2 when the last day comes around. Both teams started strong but seem to have a dip in their form curve. My Little Hashut have the highest team value of all teams (shared with BBB) and their two bull centaurs, one minotaur and 5 Block+Tackle guys sure look fearsome. When it comes to Dis Thing of Ours it seems to be more a matter of what the crowd favorite Bonnie Clyde want to do. Here all bets are off.

   
Match 3 - Butchers's Bay Pirates (Goblin) vs Ball, Bounce and Beyond (Kislev)
What a strange sight, after 5 days we have two teams with not a single block skill between them. But they do have lot of other unusual skills. If you look for entertainment, this will be the game to watch. Both teams have a strong form curve. BBB have won the last two games and the Pirates have, well, not lost the last 3 games. Will it be another draw for the Pirates or will BBB continue to top the standings? Or in the word of our fortune teller: "BBB has more B's than BBP."


Match 4 - Nimble Feets (Wood Elves) vs Punk Rock Rotters (Nurgle)
The loser of this game will for sure miss top 2. The winner will have a small chance to reach top 2. A draw is not an option for either team. This will be hard fought down to the last elvish line elf. So far the Nimble Feets have relied heavily on their throwing game but that is not an option versus Nurgle so now they need to live up to their name and quickly run away, especially from the misunderstood Nurgle Beast. He just want some hugs but no one seems interested. Could it be that smell of rotten fish?

Thursday at 18.00 cet would be the optimal time for me. If needed, I can stretch the start to 20.00.

Match played, it was a rough'n'tumble affair as might be expected. Few players really left the pitch, all things considered, and dice didn't seem extreme one way or the other. There are a couple of memorable snake eyes on the last GFI before touchdown, but I guess that's the rule rather than the exception :D

Thanks for the game Napo, good luck in the last one.

Yeah, that was probably one of the worst matches I've seen a stunty player have had. Not a single one of the weapons did anything of note except causing turnovers and burning RRs. And in classic Nuffle style I had one of my luckiest matches ever to go with that.

Here's to hoping the gobbos can turn their luck around and major props to Gnaar for keeping as calm as he did.

RECORD BETTING RESULTS IN MASSIVE LOSSES FOR THE BOOKIES
One of the most legendary prop bets that bookies have given out for ages is that of a Blood Bowl match ending in under an hour. This hadn't happened ever in the history of Blood Bowl and betting before tonight. Namely because the bet terms state that the match length is considered to include the initial cheerleader shows, toin coss, team introductions and the combined singing of the team anthems and who can knock the has been artist of the day with a rock during the team anthems competition. But now, as we hinted, this bet has hit and oh boy, has it hit big. Once again, like so many times before during this season, one of the teams involved in this betting outrage is the Underworld side Dis Thing of Ours and once again, betting on this unexpected result had been big and hard which resulted in 147 bookies going bankcrupt in one night.
Reports from the DTOO match against the Chaos Dwarf side My Little Hashut state that this was one of the most lopsided matches in ages and it almost looked like the Underworld players were dileberately failing their dodges. In the end, the match ended in record braking 56 minutes.

(http://www.bb2replayer.com/report.php?renderType=PNG&theme=Default&reportType=Match&reportId=e5cd23dcad6e7eda92dead5a962a5ace)

Third Nuffling of the season doles out third loss. Don't really understand how I had positive luck there. Gobbos were failing dodges on 1 almost every turn. On first turn I got one cdwarf down pushing back on rest of the blocks. At the start of the 2nd turn I was 2 skavens down. At the start of the 4th turn I had lost the ball and there were 6 players KO'd and 2 cassed. Tried to what I could but turns out I couldn't do anything. Got the ball out on defence with a lightning bolt, even picked up the ball and got some protection. The score should tell what happened. On the two consolidation turns got the ball to scoring position, blitzed down. Ball bounced next to goal-line which gave a gobbo a chance to score. Yeah. The. Most. Frustrating. Match. This. Season. Saitani played flawlessly, taking advantage on my bad day expertly. Thanks again for the match, mate, and sorry if sounded too bitter during the match (and in this report :).

Elvish team leaps to victory, 4-0 !

This was a match when nothing could go wrong for the elves while most things went wrong for the Nurgle team. Six successful leaps out of six attempts versus a very substantial dose of skulls and double skulls on the opponent side made this match a scoring bonanza.

Sorry about this match Lazer, you played well and did what you could but nothing can stop a wood elf team in that mood. Good luck in the future.

I believe that must be a new speed record for a NUL match day! Competition forwarded, day 7 is open.
