Why not ???
I am new playing tournaments and participated in the XFL Amazons, but the other 4 races I have, the XFL tournaments were already over before I knew about them... I dont like to retire teams so I will have to wait till they come around again for the ranked teams...
I am not looking for "strange tournaments", I like the idea of who has the better race team, then maybe all the winners play in an overall tournament |

I applied early, but am awaiting news of the GLT to see how hard I try in the first round (or if I withdraw).
As PeteW says, my team is very beatable by DE at the moment. A lot of aging has taken its toll and the 5 handicaps every game will give someone a fat FF 35 cherry with 1-2 tacklers. |

Have you at all concidered following any of the advice given by peteW?
30 coachs and 50,000 must be adding silly amounts to your teams TR which in turn makes all the handicaps happen .
I know its none of my business but why do you keep such funds when all itis doing is giving away handicap each game ? |

Because the point of the Blood Falcons is not to be a run of the mill Dark Elf team that is competititve in tournaments. Their point is to be the #1 team in the tables. |

Course I have considered it for months, way before PeteW suggested anything heh.
Valdrek and the 30 coaches, and the soon to be reached 1000 handicaps are part of the team fluff.
So I win less games. There will never be another player like Valdrek. Nor another team so despised by jealous peeps .
My team adds flavour to Fumbbl. Having specs boo me or cheer the opponent adds to the fun.
If I sacked Valdrek, and the 30 coaches, etc and became a TR 350/280 team, I would just be another 'high TR' DE team (no disrespect to my fellow coaches). The Blood Falcons are unique and love them or hate them, they are one of the best known and most cheered/booed teams around. Certainly worth losing extra games for that.

Contradiction. You cant both despise something and want it yourself. |
