These are the contestants:
Fraggle Block - Kvasilad
Illuminato Lizardmen - NapoleonBlown-apart
Masters Of Mischief - Hakos
Metal Orkhestras - Lars
One Piece All-Stars - Gnaarkill
So dry So hot - Saitani
Zero Effort Noisedoers - J-Reedy
Bits and Bobs - (walkover machine)
All righty, let's settle the finalists. It actually looks pretty interesting. Rats seem to be in, though they could get tied with Metal Orcs if the Metal Orks win and MoM loses. Not sure if the BB2 follows official tiebreaker rules, but if it does, the previous match result between the teams should be the primary tiebreaker and TD difference the secondary. Didn't find a confirmation on the tiebreaker rules with really quick googling, so not sure about this.
2nd finals spot is still really open. Khemri are in if they win against the bearded bards. With draw they are in if the Metal Orks tie or lose. With a loss they could get tied with either the Metal Orks if they tie or with the Lizards if they win. So to sum it up, Khemri is holding the reins and will get in with a win. But any other result could make the situation real hairy.
So, Saitany, are any of the following CET times suitable for you?
- Wednesday (the 1st) 12-16
- Saturday almost any time
- Sunday 10-17
Let me know if any of those suits you, sir. If not, I'll know more about my next week when I return to work on Thursday and catch up on my e-mails.
Shall we try to find a time on early sunday?
Hello Napoleon
Seems we have an interesting match ahead of us. I need to avoid losing and you need to win. Given our previous match history this should be a Nail biter match.
I'm still on vacation so almost any time should suit me if you just give me fair warning. So, when can you play?

I won the match versus the metal orks with 3-0 and have a +8 TD difference versus the metal orks +1 TD difference...

Breaking news! So Dry So Hot secures a finals spot by intercepting a Hail Mary pass on the final minutes of the game!

Pretty exciting game. Khemri started on the offense, took the man advantage and broke through the line early. They had the situation so well secured that they could've probably held the ball until final minutes of the half if not for a solo blitz from a Dwarven blitzer that ended up pushing the skeleton ball-carrier to the end zone and making the game 1-0 just after the half-point of the half. Dwarf bards took to the offence and annihilated the Khemri frontline giving the bearded bards tons of room to play. However, as the kick had been deep, the bearded once really had to give it their best and they needed a pass play to score the tying TD.
Second half the Dwarfs started on the offence and everything seemed to go their way with bunch of Khemri leaving the game. However, sneaky blitz by the strengthened Khemri skeleton loosened the ball but due to the bearded runner using dump-off, the ball ended up in middle of sea of players. Jockying for the pickup position ensued and Dwarfs seemed to have an upper hand until some anxious spectator in a pointy hat interfered and took down the line-Dwarf guarding the Khemri passer. With tomb guardians clearing the ball the thro-ra managed snag the ball and sprinted towards the goal. He was however caught and brought down by a Dwarf blitzer and troll-slayer. But as the thro-ra managed to stay contious and his comrade cleared away the troll-slayer guarding the ball, the pass-happy skeleton managed to pickup the ball and score 2-1 go-ahead goal. This left the Dwarfs with just two plays to score an equalizer. Bearded blitzer bothced the first play by failing at a pass attempt to midfield but there was still the second chance with a pass to midfield and sprint-handoff-sprint play. However, that was foiled by a Khemri thro-ra who intercepted the pass and ran the ball in for a TD.
Nice game where both sides had their own periods of serious armor/injury luck that left the other side fighting for their lives. Well played by Saitani, so he really deserves the finals spot. Good luck for both of the finalists!

Hi
Let's try starting today (monday) at 19:30 and keep wednesday in reserve.
/hakos
That works for me. See you then.
So, when will the green skins decide who is the greenest and meanest?
Gnaarkill when can you play? I am able to play any evening this week from 19:00.
/Lars
Cool!
How about a match on thursday @20.00?
/Gnaarkill
Match between rats and lizards were played yesterday. Lizards won 2-1 and thus the match statistics ended 3-2 to the Lizards after all three seasons.
So if the metal orkz wins we will have two teams ending on 5-0-2 in shared second place.
Still waiting for Napoleon to upload results since BB2replayer does not work for me.

The report isn't showing up for me yet, sorry. I've tried synchronising with the server, but the only one I can see from this match day is Khemri vs the Dwarfs.

Hmm, troubling. Have you tried opening the replay manually?
You should be able to find it under
C:\Users\<yourUser>\Documents\BloodBowl2\Profiles\<longHashString>\Replays
You're looking for a file that looks something like this and matches the time of your match:
Coach-1117-b7b13431e688ce26c606ae0f78e88c60_2019-12-12_18_01_06.bbrz
If you can open it in BB2Replayer (File->Open) without problems, it _should_ sync to the server afterwards. If you can't open it, please send me the log (View->Show Log, then File->Save Log As)
Also, I guess I forgot to mention it, but I've done a minor patch to BB2Replayer which may be important. The timeout for the data transfers was too short for what is now becoming a sizeable database, so if you get errors during syncing, try fetching 1.1.3 off of bb2replayer.com.
Having said all that, there's probably a bug somewhere that causes the match not to be auto-imported, I've heard others mention it, but I haven't been able to reproduce it myself yet. If anyone encounters that when opening BB2R after a match, I'd appreciate the log from that session as well.
@Kvasilad: Just a question out of curiosity, have you made BB2R available for other players? i.e. non-NUL players?

Opening it manually worked, thanks. I'll make sure to get the patch installed as well.

I have not actively told anyone else about it, no. But of course, it is publicly available on the web site, and it seems like there are quite a few people using it now. Which on the one hand is cool, but on the other hand, I am realizing that some of my design decisions are failing to scale as well as I'd hoped. I may have to make some significant changes to how data is handled at some point this year.
Final match of the season!
The decider! Who will be the best Orc-team in town? The well talented metal musicians or the less talented pirates ;D
It turned out, both of the teams were equally talented at blood bowl!
A beatuifully violent match, all according to old orc tradition, made one of the pirates sleep with the fishes, while two more pirates had to take a permanent vacation. Two of the musicians also decided to join in the fun in the "pharmacy-section" of the field ;D
All in all a great entertaining match with an absolutely beautiful play from Lars to score the equalizer in the second half.

Thanks for the match, green brother! 8)
/Gnaarkill
wow, that is a bloody finish of the season /hakos
Yeah wowza, that was a violent affair!
The doctor managed to cure one death so it was even more violent that the stat screen shows.
Thanks for the mach Gnaar was a good one and the nigg on my star thrower might have cause the scraping of the team permanently but will see what will happen in the future.
/Lars
Indeed.
It certainly felt like the magnum opus for both of our teams ;D
Im also uncertain of the future of my team but I will at least save them. Maybe I pick em up in the future, at least I have my blodge thrower alive :)
It was a fun experience playing the orcs, but there are teams closer to my heart, like nurgle and goblins ;D
Next season will be Undead though :)
