League Rules

1,000,000 GP to build each 11 player team

No star players or special plays useable as inducements. At least not for this first season, lets try to keep things simple. All other regular rules from LRB5+E are being applied.

Season Two regular league play will run from November 22nd (2009) until May 21st (2010). During that time, each coach may play a a maximum of 8 games with a team. However, coaches may manage as many teams as they want. Games are arranged between coaches, and Stephen will provide "blood bowl" travel sets, which will be set aside for people to play 'offsite'. Please make all winnings, casualty and star player advances directly after the game. Within 2 days of a match, please update your roster on the google document. Don't forget and go to play a month later, and don't remember what you earned in your last game. Nothing more frustrating than "But I'm sure I rolled a strength upgrade last game" "Sure you did, just roll that 12 again and you _really_ get one".

On the weekend of May 22nd (or as soon as can be arranged afterwards), the top 4 teams in the league will compete in a single elimination tournament for the Geekslayer Cup! The winning coach will get possession of the Cup. The posessor of the cup will be required to relinquish it to the next league champion at the completion of the next season. The cup may be decorated by the new person possessing it, but decorations can only be added. All decorations must be added before the next season begins (no playing with a reasonable sized cup all season, then gluing it to a garbage bin after game 8 when you don't qualify for the finals). Bonuses for possessing the cup are only applied if the cup is present at the game being played.

The NEW (LRB5+E) rulebook, pictures and all

My much shorter version of the gameplay rules. A mere six pages, double-sided.

Three new official races
Not included in the Living Rule Book only because Games Workshop doesn't have figures for them yet.

A quick reference chart for all the races
Now Updated to reflect LRB5+E rules.

A Java Bloodbowl Client
A Java game client. The site is in french, the client is not. Using it requires just a touch of networking know-how on the part of whoever hosts, as they need to forward a port from router to computer and know their outside IP address.
