MAJOR: Crown of Sand open for applications



Each year the Tomb lords of the Khemri meet at a charred and blackened crack in the desert. There, powerful magic is called upon from ancient Tomes and Lich Lords under vow to assist, and the dusty magical conflagration sends up a flaming beacon into the sky. Teams from all over the world see the sign and flock to the desert for the chance to compete for the Crown Of Sand.

Tournament draw starts
22.00pm server time
Wednesday 16th July 2025


Any Competitive team can apply here to the qualifiers,
but every coach may only enter one team.


At the moment that applications are closed, the 8 most numerous races are each placed into their own qualifier. The other races are allocated into these groups first in reverse (race 8 gains race 9, race 7 gains race 10) and then from 17-24 in the original order(so 1, 16 and 17; 2, 15 and 18). Since we now have 29 teams in this ruleset we will then continue the snake back around. Although races 25 through 29 could be shifted over slightly with total numbers in each qualifier in mind.

Prizes

The Crown Of Sand gives the chosen player +ST (as long as the player does not have 2 +ST already), regeneration and decay for 80TV.

Monday Night Blood Bowl: Green Dukes Vs. Puerkos
Monday Night Blood Bowl: Green Dukes Vs. Puerkos

DSPN Presents ... Monday Night Blood Bowl!

Transcript

This is Howood Coself. Welcome to Monday Night Blood Bowl. Tonight, the Duqueswood University Green Dukes fight for the wood against the Puerkos of the Instituto Politecnico Nacional.

The Green Dukes have gotten off to a 1 and 1 start, led by senior peace dancer Deathwynter Whitebranch, who despite a devastating shoulder injury last season has put this team on his back. But tonight we’ll be keeping an eye on a mysterious new edition to the team.

Freshman walk-on peace dancer Rainbow Unicorn-Love has been turning heads across campus as strongly as a wood spite turning a thorn toward a goblin’s hind quarters just before he sits on a tree stump.



Unicorn-Love stunned all of the Duqueswood when she visited campus last year, and while touring the Mirlin Spinleaf Memorial Elfletic Center became the first elf to successfully leap over the legendary wrench.



Convinced that if you can leap a wrench, you can leap anything, former Green Dukes Coach Gerric Smithson, desperately tried to recruit the colorful she-elf. However, Unicorn-Love had already committed to a gap year, during which she studied abroad in the Lustrian forests outside of the legendary lizard man kingdom of Mary’s Land. She also turned the disgraced former head coach down, vowing that she would never participate in a sport as violent as blood bowl.

Did something change during her time in Lustria? Was it Coach Pondripple’s conversion of the team’s wardancers to peace dancers that changed her mind. No one knows for sure, and no one knows why she appears to be wearing a kroxigor tooth around her neck. But either way, Unicorn-Love has joined the squad, and everyone is eager to see how her athletic skills blend with her commitment to peace, love and … unicorns on the pitch.

And here we go. The Green Dukes kick high and deep to the Puerkos. And it looks like we’re in for a treat here today, as the Puerkos have bought the services of legendary star ram rider Rumbelow Sheepskin.




Look at the little fellow there, waving to the crowd. It will be interesting to see how the Green Dukes love of woodland creatures impacts their blocking efforts against Sheepskin’s steed, the legendary Longshanks.

Ooh! And there we have our first elf removed from the pitch, as junior Ives the Crazy delivers a leaping head butt directly to the sternum of sophomore thrower Gilwin Windhand, who looks like he’ll be needing a hand—and a hand full of smelling salts—on the sidelines.

Here comes a key moment for the Pueroks, as junior runner Abtrabacus the Old goes for the pick-up—and yes, he’s done what may be the most difficult thing for him on this drive. He’s picked up the ball.

Now the Puerkos have left some space between their lines here, and let’s see … Yes, it looks like the Green Dukes are trying to split the dwarves here.

The Puerkos test one side here, but the Dukes hold, and look at treeman Mirlin Weatherborn tie up three Puerkos near midfield. Look at them under that tree, like teddybears having a picnic, only the only thing on the menu is tree bark and pain.



OK, now the Puerkos are testing the other side here, but the elves are just too quick for them.


They’ve got the little fellas going east and west here rather than north and south, and the Puerkos are going to have to get more aggressive here or the clock will surely run out on them. And, oh no, Weatherborn has taken root. This could be just the chance the dwarves needed.

Yes, look at that, junior troll slayer Alek Fierce stomps on Whitebranch’s foot, get’s the peacedancer to bend over, and ooh, he delivers a knuckleduster uppercut right to the jaw, and good night sweet peace dancer.

Now it looks like the Puerkos are going all in here, pushing forward along the sideline. Dangerous territory if the Green Dukes are willing to … Yes, it looks like sophomore line-elf Flyp Redleaf is going for the crowd surf, and holy moly with a flying knee to the chin he sends Abtrabacus into the front row, where some dwarf fans gently catch him, but it looks like the ball bounced into the Green Duke student section, and look at that throw in! This could give Duqueswood a chance to steal a touchdown here.

Junior catcher Zindari Dawnwind definitely has the speed to get there if she can get away. And yes, she makes the dodge. Dawnwind gets loose like a little fairy flitting from the stem of a dandelion.

But look at that, Sheepskin says giddy-up, and Longshanks is right on the ball. This will make the scoop and score tough for Dawnwind, unless she gets a block. Oh my, this is drama of the highest order as the only Green Duke in range here is Rainbow-Love. A lover of all of nature’s creatures, will she even want to try to make the block and there she goes and … down goes Sheepskin! Down goes Sheepskin! Down goes Sheepskin!

And just like that Dawnwind prances in for the touchdown to put the Green Dukes up 1-0 just as the half-time whistle blows.



OK, as the teams head to the locker rooms for half time, let’s check in with our sideline reporter OJ Nymph-son, who …



Oh dear it looks like OJ has left the stadium, leaving behind only his gloves. No, no, those can’t be his gloves they look too small too fit. But yes, I’m getting confirmation that Nymph-son has left the stadium riding upon the back of a white bronco. Well, I’m not sure what’s going on there, but let’s just hope everything is all right.

And now, now back to the action.

Duqueswood is solidly coachman’s seat, up 1-0 and receiving the second half kick. Let’s see how they choose to attack. Interesting choice not to Dakka here, maybe they’re going for the quick score to put it away. And oh my, look at that! A devastating spinning elbow strike from Redleaf knocks another Puerko out of the game.

I have to say, this looks like the Green Dukes’ game right now. I have not seen a group of wood elves so in control of a competition since the Great Keebler bake-off of 2459.

But wait, I’m not sure what Coach Pondripple is doing here. Only one elf in scoring distance, and standout junior thrower Phaedry Featherwind is still hanging back. This might be a bit too conservative—even for a coach who’s made his team’s motto “Safety first.”

It looks like Rainbow-Love is preparing for a dodge here to give the Green Dukes another scoring threat, and she … oh no! Apparently that old adage isn’t true. If you can leap a wrench, you cannot indeed leap anything.

And here come the dwarves. Those diminutive, pugilistic Puerkos have trundled their way into some excellent positioning, and Duqueswood into quite a pickle here. Yes, there it is. Freshman blocker Titus Sifoideico takes down Featherwind with a brutal shoulder to the solar plexus, and the ball is out.

The Green Dukes advantage has evaporated as quickly as dew on the meadow on a summer morn.

But oh my, Abtrabacus can’t pick up the ball. It must be the stubby little fingers. However, if that ball were a pint of beer, I don’t think he’d have so much trouble.

With only five elves on the pitch here, the Dukes are still in trouble. But, there’s a nice chainblock to give Featherwind a chance, and yes she’s got the ball, but there’s not much she can do with it, and she’s down again, and this time, she is out as well.

There he goes. They must have told him the ball’s filled with some Bugman’s Best, because this time he had no trouble scooping it up. Not much the Green Dukes can do here, but maybe a desperation blitz. And … what a play by Windhand, And Gildar Weedborn catches the ball in a crowd.

But what will he do here? The dwarves have him surrounded. Good gracious! What a dodge. He’s breaking away down the field. But what’s this? Coach Pondripple is shouting at him to throw the ball away. A brilliant plan. Just a few more yards down the field and the ball will be too far away for the Puerkos to have enough time to score.



But … what’s he doing. Weedborn isn’t making the throw. What’s wrong with the kid? Oh no. It looks like he’s got the yips. Not since the days of Mackweed Sassafrass have a seen a case of the yips this bad.

And now, here come the Puerkos. And ooh, after taking that fist to the jaw, Weedborn is wishing he’d let go of that ball. But still, these little fellas have a long way to go. Do they have enough time for their stubby little legs to take them all the way to paydirt. Let’s see …

They’ve got the ball. And there’s the hand off.

Iker "Tatoos" Bernal has a chance here. There’s no way the Dukes can catch him. But can he eke out that extra yard to score before the final whistle. Yes! He’s done it. Bernal has done it!



But what’s this? Coach Pondripple appears to be celebrating as well. Not sure why, given that he turned a win into a tie, but … Ah, that’s right. Another game with no dead elves, that’s three in a row now, a record for the program.

To stall or not to stall?. KO´s are the question.
Well, I´ve just played a match. Orcs vs Necros. I´m a veeeeery poor player of this game but I really enjoy it. The thing is that after finishing the match I´ve realize one thing just taking a look at the resume. The match has finished 1-1 but not because of my merits but for a bad decision of the other player in terms of stalling.

He could make his first TD in the turn 3 of the 1st half. He has chosen to delay scoring. as I´ve no chance in avoid scoring I just prepare the second half. Although no major injures were done, the truth is that several KO were suffered by my opponent. Maybe you just consider that KO´s are minor issues but you have to roll them in order to have your players back.

As he delayed the scoring, two thing were amounted. Less chances of the comeback of the players and more Ko´s suffered.

With all of this, he didn´t recover any player so he started the second half with -4 players due to the KO no recovered.

It made me the second half very suitable and I drawn the match.

Don´t get me wrong. This is not "an attack" to the other player. As I said before, I´m a poor player but sometimes we think that stalling is a good thing and maybe you are losing a chance to reroll your KO players while more of them are filling the bench in the stalling phase.

'Redraft after Major Tournament exit' rules change
Please note that we are changing the rules concerning exiting Major Tournaments and Redrafting.

Until now, exiting a Major Qualifier put a team into end-of-season state and exiting a Major main event forced immediate redrafting, regardless of how many games the team had played in their season.

From now on, teams exiting a Major (qualifier or main) will only have to redraft when they hit or exceed the 15 games of their season.

So in essence, you will always have to redraft after 15 games, unless you are in a tournament. Note that you do NOT redraft after winning a Major qualifier!
Please understand that to ensure fairness between coaches, all end-of-season/redrafting that resulted from past Majors will stand and cannot be retroactively revoked.

Final Call - Nuffle League Season 3
This is a final call for new coaches to the Nuffle League, where your team is completely randomized to begin out of 1766 different players. Some people have called this a roguelike version of blood bowl, or a gatcha version of blood bowl as every player is randomly rolled to join your team. You do have some control over what players join your team after the first 11, and starting team value is 1750k which gives you enough to purchase all the way to 14-16 players. Every coach that currently has played in the league loves it for its randomness and uniqueness as there is no other league like it and it stands on its own.

Every single roster on Fumbbl was added to the list of possible players and that includes derelict leagues, as the Nuffle League breathes life back into its unique positionals and pixels. Your team does start with an apothecary and reroll to start with to make sure you have something to work with. Some coaches use the apothecary to try and kill players because firing players is not allowed in this league until death.

Your team could include daemons, dwarves, sand elfs, elemental goblins, kobolds, 40k orks, and necrons in the current list. The league will be starting soon, so come join the chaotic fun that is the Nuffle League.

All rolls are done on Discord: https://discord.gg/uQfjnkK5Uh

White Isle League recruiting

WIL has concluded their 75th season and are looking for 7, maybe 8 new coaches

White Isle League or WIL in short, one of the oldest leagues on fumbbl, is recruiting for their season 76, 16th under bb2020 rules.

Closely following [C] (and NAF) races and ruleset, teams start in the Regionals and advance over the Conferences to fight with the best of the best in the Premier Division.

Starting last season, WIL uses seasons and redraft, with less focus on agent fees to keep players longer - it is about the long rivalry between teams, not a sprint.

There is a few places for new or returning coaches available. If you're interested and can commit to play a game every 9 days, then drop me a PM or swing by discord

To keep things diverse, there's a cap on 4 teams per race. Have a look here https://fumbbl.com/p/group?op=view&group=14949&p=teams&order=4 and decide your race. There may be movements, so shout out to hear if a 4 team race is available. Note, teams with score -200 are not active and do not take up a place.

Blitz 'Dem Special - Season II Stats Leaders Update


'Blitz 'Dem', the foremost fanzine for all things Blood Bowl presents for your consideration a special edition, updating all followers of the Greenskins Draft Rumble on the leader boards for the league's finest prizes, all of which will be awarded at the conclusion of Season II.

= LEAGUE LEADERS =
We are halfway through the regular season in the Greenskins Draft Rumble Season II. It's time to update the fans, coaches, and players of what they can win and who is currently leading the pack!


The Platinum Arm
Sponsored by Le Gob Sportif
- Your wardrobe is our concern
The award for the league's best passer is somewhat complex (for orcs at least). Each player who has made 5+ passing yards this season has their total distance divided by the number of pass completions (so long as they have made at least 3 successful passes). The player with the highest index wins this prestigious award.

1. Thugbo Skulltaker (Karak Norn Chargerz) - 16 yards / 3 passes

2. Karson Barbo (Karak Norn Crusherz) - 10 / 3
3. Grunk Gorefang (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - 9 / 4

There are other contenders who need one more completion to qualify;
1. Valeria Wargo (Bretonnian Brutes) - 5 / 2
=2. Groth Bonegnasha (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics), Grogg Skullrippa (Middenlands Ironskins) - 2 / 2


The Ruby Runner
Sponsored by Rutter Gunners Special Delivery Service
- We'll get it there-there
The award for the league's best ball carrier is a more simple calculation; how many yards - or paces in old money - did each player progress up the field with the ball in hand. The maths are certainly easier than the task itself!

1. ★ Dazlug Mudshredda ★ (Altdorf Bloodhounds) - 203 yards

2. ★ Zuggrak "Splatta" Gorblat ★ (Badlands Black Feathers) - 153 yards
3. Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skullsmasherz) - 146 yards
4. Indestructible (Iron Crag Clawz) - 112 yards
5. Hazel Nuts (Grom Peak Scrappers) - 111 yards


The Iron Gauntlet
Sponsored by Steelhelm's Sporting Emporium
- Jus' crunk it!
A real fans' favourite, the Iron Gauntlet is a sign of all that is associated with the greenskin game - brutal, physical force exerted on others without a second thought. The one who wields this has made the most blocks and is, therefore, not to be trifled with!

1. Arm Snapper (Averland Bat-Squigs) - 76

2. Grash Bonechewer (Badlands Black Feathers) - 71
3. Dakkul Beastmaw (Nordland Skullsmasherz) - 67
4. Kroll Stonecrusha (Altdorf Bloodhounds) - 60
5. ★ Head Stompa the Fourth ★ (Iron Crag Clawz) - 59


The Brass Boot
Sponsored by Star Insurance Guild
- They were on borrowed time anyway
Yes, they may be unloved, even by their own mother, and undervalued by all those who coach them but many players in the league want to make their mark on the game - normally in the shape of a boot print on a prostrate player's back. The fouliest foulers of the league aspire to being given the Boot themselves.

1. Rukzit the Menace (Averland Bat-Squigs) - 24 fouls

2. Slugg "Bullock" Bonekrakka (Dragonback Squigs) - 17
=3. "Unstoppable" Urza Spinechoppa (Drakwald 'Ardboyz), Skabzit Mudspitta (Nordland Skullsmasherz) - 10
=5. Cut Cut Gelder (Iron Crag Clawz), Miranda Hortalus ☠ (Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns) - 9


Careless Coach
Sponsored by Nurgle King
- Made special!
Some of us treat our draftees like heroes, showering them with wealth, trinkets, and platitudes, Some bring rookies through with all the due maternal care of a tiny, toothless squiglet. Others toss their overworked and underpaid players into the pitch like logs into a pot-bellied stove! This award is for the coach who just can't keep his players breathing.

1. RobinFern (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - 5 dead players

2. Nietizen (Badlands Black Feathers) - 3
=3. IntrepidWilson (Drakwald 'Ardboyz), AutoAxpert (Bretonnian Brutes), Ritzi (Middenland Ironskins), Kozilek (Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns) - 2


The Stone Slayer
Sponsored by Simpson & Son's Funeral Parlours
- You snuff 'em, We stuff 'em!
Only the most heartless, ruthless, merciless, fearless, bloodthirsty, cruel savages make this list - it's for the players who keep the undertaking business ticking along. Who has injured, maimed, or killed the most opponents?

=1. Grotz Eargrinda (Nordland Skullsmasherz), "Deadly" Grulg Bonecleava (Dragonback Squigs) - 6

=3. ★ Ghazghkull Thraka ★ (Drakwald 'Ardboyz), Wrath (Iron Crag Clawz), Tharku 'Eadsmasha (Bretonnian Brutes) - 4


The Silver Spike
Sponsored by Orcidas
- Possible is sumfink!
There can only be one winner of this, the most coveted trophy any player can win - the Spike is gifted to the player with the most touchdowns. The glory boys. The peacocks. The ones who can win a game in a split second. The sharpest point on the club.

1. ★ Dazlug Mudshredda ★ (Altdorf Bloodhounds) - 8 touchdowns

2. ★ Zuggrak "Splatta" Gorblat ★ (Badlands Black Feathers) - 7
=3. Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skullsmasherz), Hazel Nuts (Grom Peak Scrappers) - 6

Most Improved Player
Sponsored by Kroxiade
- Gets to your throat fast!
Each coach may nominate a player that they feel they have developed well over the course of the season. They cannot be Marquee Players, but can be any other player whose accomplishments might be overlooked by the beady-eyed statisticians and the fair weather fans. Nominations will open after the end of the regular season and close 24 hours after the final match of the season has been decided.


Keep your eyes peeled for our next Special Edition covering the movers and shakers of the trade window!

Blitz 'Dem - GDR Edition #2; Issue #7


'Blitz 'Dem', the preeminent periodical for all things Blood Bowl, having been published by diligent grotz since 1964 IC, brings you the key facts from the opening Gameweek of the inaugural season of the Greenskins Draft Rumble.

= GAMEWEEK 7 ROUND-UP =
The mid-point of the regular season gave us some huge results and even hugerer fatalities!

= STAR PLAYER POINTS =
Perhaps proof of this periodicals growing readership is that notice is taken of the names which appear here. None of last week's peak performers featured this week; perhaps implying that coaches are more aware of the threat those particular players hold:
7 SPP - Hazel Nuts (Grom Peak Scrappers)
6 SPP - ★ Dazlug Mudshredda ★ (Altdorf Bloodhounds); ★ Zuggrak Gorblat ★ (Badlands Black Feathers)

= CASUALTIES =
Plenty of blocks thrown this week and an increased workload for the apothecaries to show for it:
2 casualties - Wubdagog (Badlands Black Feathers); Arm Gnawer (Iron Crag Clawz); Grotz Eargrinda (Nordland Skullsmasherz)

= BLOCKS =
The weekly average amongst blocking leaders continues to increase:
14 blocks - Kroll Stonecrusha (Altdorf Bloodhounds)
13 blocks - Grash Bonechewa (Badlands Black Feathers)
12 blocks - Arm Snapper (Averland Bat-Squigs); ★ Head Stompa The Fourth ★ (Iron Crag Clawz); ★ Ghazghkull Thraka ★ (Drakwald 'Ardboyz)

= TOUCHDOWNS =
New faces this week, compared to last, but two scorers who are becoming a real problem for their opponents:
2 touchdowns - ★ Dazlug Mudshredda ★ (Altdorf Bloodhounds); ★ Zuggrak Gorblat ★ (Badlands Black Feathers)

= FOULS =
An utterly incredible new gameweek record set by the Averland Bat-Squigs - Rukzit now has 24 fouls in 6 matches. To add to that, the Fanatics once angelic demeanour has well and truly been removed as they have their first mention in this category:
10 fouls - Rukzit the Menace (Averland Bat-Squigs)
4 fouls - Urza Spinechoppa (Drakwald 'Ardboyz)
3 fouls - Baggit Wartsnout (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics)

= RUSHING YARDS =
The same names continue to rack up the distance, often carrying the ball over the touchline in the process.:
36 yards - ★ Dazlug Mudshredda ★ (Altdorf Bloodhounds)
30 yards - ★ Zuggrak Gorblat ★ (Badlands Black Feathers)
23 yards - Grukgore Ironjaw (Middenland Ironskins)

= PASSING YARDS =
The specialist passers seem to prefer exploding bombs to the squigskin footballs...


= AWARD WINNERS =
Each Gameweek, there will be awards for some notable players and coaches:

MVP
Coach RobinFern may be glad it's not one of his players to be named MVP as, every time they win it, one of the Fanatics seems to get killed in the following game. Many of his opponents will hope this curse honour will be continued with the Bloodhounds' ★ Dazlug Mudshredda ★ who scored twice and led the rushing yards category, edging out ★ Zuggrak Gorblat ★ of the Black Feathers by a mere 6 yards and 2 blocks.

Golden Clipboard
Nietizen (Badlands Black Feathers)
Coach Nietizen secured the number one ranked position at the halfway point of the regular season with a solid 2-0 win over the Crusherz. Skurn Rocksmash's vital deflection was enough to give Nietizen the lead over close runner-up Coach Rijssiej, whose team got the same result against the Big 'Uns.

Best Result
Hierophant (Estalia Gutrippers)
MATCHSCORESCORERS
Estalia Gutrippers1★ Z. Slugweava ★
Averland Bat-Squigs0--
With the resurgent Bat-Squigs hosting, just a week after their first league win, the Gutrippers were 6th in the competition, behind Averland, Karak Norn, and Tilea. But their quick start - removing 3 players in the first half - helped them overcome 3 turnovers and the loss of their troll in turn 5 and score the only touchdown of the game late in the first half. The Bat-Squigs fought back back some unsuccessful blocks (including two where they were outnumbered) and a simple but failed pick-up cost them and the Gutrippers held on to leapfrog the mid-table group to finish the Mork Conference in 3rd place.

= IN MEMORIAM =
For every winner, there must be a loser and, to give them their (final) moment in the limelight, we recognise those players who left us this week:


‣ Brody Venessa (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - last week's MVP suffered the Fanatics Jinx this week. The blitzer started his career at the Carcasonne Snarlfangs, making 6 blocks in 3 games. But he excelled in one notable game - scoring once and being named MVP against the Fanatics. The Karak Azgaraz side made him their 1st round pick in the Season II Draft and he scored twice in 6 games, contrubuting 25 blocks and 2 MVPs in the process. A good player who may go down as one of the great unfulfilled blood bowl careers.
‣ Aln Shearahh (Averland Bat-Squigs) - perhaps if they had concentrated less on fouling and more on protecting their players, Shearahh would be alive today. However, the blitzer was killed by Gutrippers' Jaylo Otho after 11 games, 30 blocks, 1 casualty, 1 touchdown, 1 foul, and 2 MVPs. A key player that will surely be missed.
‣ Durgash Yamwort (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - the Fans lost another player in the same game; a 3rd round pick lineman with 1 MVP and 1 casualty to his name over 6 games. Absolutely replaceable.


Look out for our specials coming soon - Stat Leaders edition followed by Transfer Window special - all before Week 8 resumes!
