Yes. There are currently 88 coaches with a single top-8 appearance and I'm not listing them all here. You have to get a second top-8 for the glory of being listed!  |

Oh, all right then.
FUMBBL majors’ champions (nations)
Germany 6
UK 4
Finland 2
Sweden 2
Australia 1
Austria 1
Belgium 1
Denmark 1
France 1
Italy 1
Portugal 1
Spain 1
Also added to the front page post. Enjoy!
Ze Germans definitely lead the power-gaming pack. Finland and Sweden have won their two trophies from one true power-gamer each (Alibaba and Petter), and we all know who makes up most of the UK's tally.  The American crowd must be very disappointed.  |

No one from the U.S? Thats weird , they have a lot of coaches.
And only 2 from Sweden and Petter having them both from back in the day. Thats quite an under representation as well (due to the amount of coaches). |

True, but they all suck. What have they got? Synn? Shadow? Pffft. I'm surprised they haven't invented their own game, calling it American Bloodbowl, claiming that it is the only true bloodbowl and not letting anyone else play it.
Or, taking bloodbowl, changing some of the rules to make it rubbish and starting a "World Bloodbowl Series" that only Americans are allowed to play....

Oh Lord... Let's not start on sport!
Maybe the Yanks just don't have the sort of coaches that build the sort of teams Majors commonly see doing well? Or haven't been lucky enough yet? It's not like there have been hundreds, statistically the sample must be small.
Yes, that’s a good diffusing 'fact'...
Edit: And why is it, the only time I can remember I've ever looked at a Major thread out of a passing the time, Pete's trying to wind people up? |

hmmm...
maybe because all of the major tournaments are in europe?
if every major tournament was in NA, i'd say the stats would be representative of such....
how much does it cost for the average person to travel from germany to the UK for a tourney?....and how much does it cost for an american to travel to the UK for a tourney?

*Puts aside anti-Major feeling in order to get a dig in*
No coincidence than an American shows such epic faleness in a Majors thread, is it? |

maybe he was just talking about the sheer publicity and awareness it would raise in ones country so that more people would play fumbbl in the long run |

also take into account the numbers on entry...
did you do the breakdown on how many coaches of each nationality enter?...
if only 1 american coach enters, but 100 german coaches enter, doesn't it stand to say that the germans have a much better chance of winning the cup? :-p

No no, I think he has a point Pete. With so few americans on the site its not really a suprise that they dont have any real talent.
Maybe it would be different if the NWL got more involved in the majors scene. |
