The Waaagh Cast Cup! Season 2-Week 8 Newsletter

Hello everyone!

I have no excuses for what you'll see in this weeks newsletter.  No deaths!  Not a single one!  The Apothecaries really stepped up their games this week and put in the extra effort to bring those broken boys back from the nearly-dead.  Also, there is only 2 weeks left before the play-offs!  How exciting.  I feel there are certainly a couple of teams which clearly have shot at the top spots.

The Waaagh Cast Cup! Season 2-Week 2 Newsletter

Hey Blood Bowl Fanatics!

Week 2 has drawn to a close and boy did we see some carnage this week.  Primary amongst those players no longer with us in body, we say goodbye to a beloved Chaos Warrior who has been with us since the beginning, Yog Sothoth.  A truly brutal warrior.  We see some definitive wins this week with only two drawn games as opposed to last week where it seemed more than half the league was sluggish to the start.  You can read about it in our weekly newsletter below!

The Waaagh Cast Cup! Season 2!!!


Well folks, the time has come!

Are you ready for some BLOOD BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Announcing Season 2 of The Waaagh Cast Cup! on-line Blood Bowl League!

We are now officially taking sign-ups for Season 2 which makes us super happy!  We're not playing favorites either.  While we really appreciate everybody who participated in Season 1 this is totally a first come, first serve deal.  We are accepting 11 teams for Season 2.  (12 Counting my own)

The League will be divided into two divisions of 6 teams, with each team playing everyone in their division twice.  This will result in a minimum number of 10 games per team.  At the end of the 10 weeks the top 2 teams from each division will play for their ticket to the finals where the top team from each division will play for the overall cup.  It’s very exciting.  Each game will consist of 16, 4 minute turns with no overtime.

Participation in the League will require a few things on your part.  We play every week for 10 weeks straight and expect you to make your absolute best effort to do so.  You need to contact your opponent through e-mail and schedule your game.  I should be carbon copied on all correspondence so that if a player makes an attempt to contact for a game and is not responded to by their opponent I can give a due forfeit.  Also, players must talk amongst each other to pick one of them to write up a small article going over the games that they play.  The purpose of this is that I will be releasing a weekly newsletter just like in season 1.  The Weeks will start on Monday and run through Sunday.

Even more exciting is that according to Cyanide Studio, the Chaos Edition of the game will be entirely compatible with the Legendary Edition.  You must own at least Legendary Edition to participate in the League.  If the League is entirely setup before release of the Chaos Edition (supposed to be this month) we will roll on without the expansion.  Should it release however please know that while we are aware a lot of people may like to play some of the teams from the Chaos Edition such as the Underworld Pact or the Demons the only team we will be allowing into the League from this version of the game is the Chaos Dwarfs.  The reason for this is that we are attempting to stay equivalent to the actual tabletop which contains no Demon team and Underworld Pact is not part of the actual rules but a N.A.F. addition.

Anyone wishing to enter the league must choose one of the following two options.
A: Build a brand new team and enter into the league.
B: If you played in a previous season of the league (we know, small number as we've only ran one season) you may bring in a previously participating team.  The only restriction here is that a previous team must have a team value of no more than 1500.  If your team is above this number you must make cuts to bring it under that value before signing up.

That's it everybody!  I'm looking really forward to Season 2 and a ton of fun!

To sign-up please send e-mail to: waaagh.cast.jf@gmail.com with the Subject Line: Bloodbowl Season 2 Sign-up!  The body of the e-mail must contain your first and last real name.  After I have all 12 players a form letter will be sent out with instructions on how to get into the league.

Thanks a lot and I'll see you all on the pitch!

The Waaaghcast! Cup - Week 18 and the Season is OVER!!!


Week 18 has ended!  Season 1 of The Waaagh Cast! Cup! is officially over.  We've crowned ourselves a champion as well.  Eric M. and his Bogenafen Bell Ringers (Humans) have won through the day.  Ryan G. and the Talabheim City Chiefs (Humans) have come in 2nd place while myself and my Longbeard Brawlers wrap up 3rd.  It was a brutally long season and I want to thank everybody who participated in it. It was great fun!  Look for the announcement both here and on Twitter for season 2 which will be announced in Sept.  Thanks for participating and reading!

Check it all out in the: Week 18 Newsletter

As an afterthought I've decided to add the rankings tables to the post.  Basically the game keeps track of a number of categories of information and provides rankings in form of the top 10 players for each.  I thought it would be interesting to see where certain teams fell on rankings.  You can usually use these charts to easily see who is a passing team/running team.  It also definitely shows you the most brutal teams in the forms of kills/injuries getting named the most violent players.  Take a look at the spreadsheet below to check out some numbers.  I'll add some notes on there that may or may not make interesting reading.  Again, thanks!
