Season 5,6,7: Disorganized Dudes (Chaos)
My IRL friend Barmution invited me to try playing Blood Bowl, and invited me to join NUL. At this point, I had never played the game before, but I had played several other GW games before (WH40K and Necromunda primarily). I probably did some random online matches to learn the basics. It does appear I won my first ever NUL game against Mr. B, which is very hard to believe, but I must've had Nuffle on my side! My luck didn't continue though, most of the actual results are lost, but suffice to say I was still learning the ropes. In season 6, I did reach the semi-finals though. In Season 7 I was quickly knocked out by Luiggi's Orcs.

Season 8,9,10,11: The Partly Animals (Wood Elf)
This was a really good team for me. I reached the finals for the first time in season 8, and lost handily to Mr. B. In season 9, Mr. B knocked me out in the semi-finals, but season 10 was my first ever NUL season win! The circumstances were a bit sketchy though, as the playoffs were ditched, but I did win the regular season, so I'll take that! Season 11 saw the team pretty badly beat up, but they had a good run.

Season 12,13: Frosted Flakes of Khorne (Khorne Demons)
Frenzy on all players? That must be great, right!? No. No, it isn't. Horrible couple of seasons for me.

Season 14: The Partly Animals (Wood Elf)
Tried to bring TPA back, but was unable to bring back the glory days. From what I can remember, a mediocre season with both ups and downs.

Season 15,16,17: New Orc Gitz (Orcs)
Can't remember this team at all, really. I guess I concluded that orcs aren't for me? It does look like I was nowhere near the playoffs in any of the seasons.

Season 18,19,20: The Phin Phighters (Lizardmen)
Ah.... that brings back memories. This was when I discovered my favourite Blood Bowl faction of all time. Season 18 saw me lose to Barmution's humies in the semis, but I won season 19 _and_ 20! I think this is my only NUL team that has won more than one season, and this time it was all proper play-offs and everything. The final of season 19 was won against J-Reedy's "Da Beatmores", and the season 20 final was a grudge win against Barmution's "The Emperor's New Boots" which had knocked me out in season 18!

Blood Bowl II: Season 0: Great Bretonn (Bretonnians)
I won! We were only 6 players for this BB2 test season, but I truly learned the value of fend here. This was also the season where I realized the BB2 replay format was just a zipped XML file. And thus started the work of reverse-engineering it, which eventually became BB2Replayer.

Season 21,22: Philosophers Pack (Skaven)
Can't really remember much from this team. I think they sucked.

Season 23: The Phin Phighters (Lizardmen)
Fell into the old trap of trying to bring back a former team's glory. Didn't work this time either. This was the very last season of Blood Bowl 1 before we moved on to BB2, so I guess I figured it was the last chance to play with this beloved team.

Season 24: The Playful Dead (Undead)
Finished 3rd in the regular season, 3-1-2

Season 25: Facial Hair Enthusiasts (Dwarf)
Finished 3rd in the regular season, 3-0-2

Season 26: The Playful Dead (Undead)
Finished 5th in the regular season, 3-0-3

Season 27: Constantly High Elves (High Elf)
Finished 4th, can't remember what all these single-season shennanigans were.

Season 28: The Teamsters (Elven Union)
Finished 6th, 2-0-5

Season 29,30: Great Bretonn (Bretonnians)
Brought back my first ever Blood Bowl 2 team, and this time it did work out well.
- Finished 3rd in the season 29, 2-5-0.
- Won season season 30 final against Barmution's "Trondheim Kennel Club" (Necromantic) in what must be one of the biggest nufflings I've seen... I had +16.18 luck, Barmution had -1.66. I'm not sure BB2Replayer showed this at the time, but I can see it now.

Season 31,32,33: Radio Rangers (Lizardmen)
I had tried to play only new teams in NUL up until this point, but I really really wanted another Lizardmen team in BB2. The naming theme was loosely based on me working in radio communication at the time.
- Finished 3rd in season 31, 3-3-1
- Finished 3rd in season 32, 4-1-2
- Won season 33 by defeating Barmution's Kislevs "Ball, Bounce and Beyond" in the finals. Again, a pretty solid +11 nuffle factor helping me out.

Season 34,35,36: Fraggle Block (Ogre)
Wow, I had totally forgotten I had ever played ogre. But there it is. Finished in the bottom two in all three seasons.

Season 37,38,39: The Candidates (Necromantic)
- Finished 3rd in season 37
- Won season 38 by defeating Hakos' Lizardmen "Good Game Gauls" in the finals. Another HUGE nuffling in my favour, +15.03 to -4.92.
- Finished 4th in season 39.

Season 40,41,42: The Bloody Sharpies (Dark Elf)
Went hard for writing fluff here in the beginning, but gradually lost the energy for it after the team got mangled pretty badly.
- Finished 3rd in season 40, 4-2-3
- Finished 5th in season 41, 4-2-3
- Finished 5th in season 42, 4-2-3
(yep, that is weird, and it's not a typo. Exact same score in all three season)

Season 43,44,45: Logen's Lot (Chaos Dwarf)
- Lost to Mr. B's Norse "Kung Fury" in the semi-finals of season 43 _and_ season 44
- Finished 3rd in season 45, there was no semi-finals

Season 46,47,48: Non-Fungible Team (Norse)
Naming theme inspired by my brief dabbling in crypto. The team did better than the market, that's for sure, as I believe this is my only team that has reached the finals in all of its three seasons.
- Lost the final of season 46 to Lars' Humans "Kamprads Classic"
- Won season 47 by beating Hakos' Bretonnians "Steel of Sweden"
- Lost the final of season 48 to J-Reedy's Chaos Dwarves "s0 pR0 MAD 53rFs"
