WHAT IS THE SUPER LEAGUE?

This is a competitive resurrection (non-progression) league which uses promotion and relegation.The exact structure will be decided (depending on player numbers) at the start of each season.

Season Two is using a pyramid structure as follows:
Premier League: 1 Champion - 4 relegated
Championship A+B: 2 promoted - 4 relegated
Division One A,B,C+D: 2 promoted - 4 relegated
Division Two A,B,C+D: 4 promoted - 4 relegated
Division Three A,B,C+D: 4 promoted - 4 relegated
Bottom Swiss: 16 promoted.
Bottom division will be a swiss tournament.
Relegation will depend on league expanding next season.

The league placing belongs to the coach. So you can swap teams (between seasons) and retain your ranking. Coaches who are brand new will start from the bottom and have to work their way up.

THE COMMITMENT

To organise and play 1 game of Blood Bowl every 2 weeks (14 days). Your opponent may live in a different country/ different time zone - so you may need to be flexible.

Tips on how to schedule properly: https://fumbbl.com/p/blog&c=ArrestedDevelopment&id=22745

Two weeks should be plenty of time to organise to play a game. But if there are any problems please tell group admins nice and early.

If you do not respond to your opponent or league admin during the 14 day period - you will be thrown out of the comptetion and replaced.

Conceding will get you kicked.

If a game is not played within deadline and an extension has not been requested. Admin will toss a coin and attribute the win accordingly.

Re Time Outs: remember you are adults and act accordingly.

Taking a break: If a coach rejoins the league after pausing for one or more seasons, they may play in the tier they qualified for with their placement in their last active season, provided there is a space available due to dropouts. Otherwise they get placed as high as possible (but not higher than what they qualified for). If multiple coaches are competing for the same space in a tier, the coach with the shorter break gets the space.
Placements from Season 0 and coaches who dropped out during a running season do not qualify for this rule.

THE RULES

Win = 2 points, Draw = 1 point, Loss = 0 points

Tie breaker = NET TD + NET CAS. No tie breaker is perfect but this is the default setting, so makes life easier for everyone. If this is equal we'll look at H2H and then TD scored + Cas Caused.

IMPORTANT - Please only chose the inducements listed in your Bio when starting a game.

If you get this wrong and the game must be reset you will need to contact a FUMBBL Admin! LEAGUE ADMIN DO NOT have the power to reset your game. If a game is not played inside the time limit because it has to be reset the player that chose the wrong inducements MAY have to forfeit.

The Fumbbl Discord is the best place to request a reset!
