G'day everyone,
The Qualifying Pool has now started, and the Divisions are set to go with the New Year (or earlier if possible).
Qualifiers, Season 2 will end on the 4th of February. You have until then to play up to 5 games against your fellows.
Good luck everyone, and have fun! |

Thats probly not the best idea till we know that all the new coaches are committed, it's easy to get people to join a league, getting them to stay is a hell of a lot harder |

That's exactly right, and is hopefully what the Qualifying Pool will achieve. We don't want the string of forfeits that we were left with last season... |

Indeed it does looks like the final, and quite possibly grand final game of the SWL premier season 1 will be held tonight. Stay tuned in #SWL for details as they come to the press!
In the interests of getting people to the mood I thought I'd pull up my trash-talk from page 34 of the Oceanic thread from the first time we tried to hold this mammoth game.

Hear ye! Hear ye!
The League of Exhumed Gentlemen are set to take on the Darkfall Sinners tonight in what promises to be a bloody and brutal game of bloodbowl.
Under their new captain Gray, the Gentlemen have enjoyed a string of victories and a huge boost in popularity. With an awe-inspiring fan factor of 15, the cocky team are getting a little big for their boots! Is it time for the Gentlemen to taste the dishonour of defeat so close to the end of the season?
It seems if anyone can break the Dorian Gray Miracle, Xavius Poisonbane is the elf for the job. The dark elf captain has reached something approaching cult status with longstanding fans of the team, enjoying a healthy record of casualties and touchdowns. The Darkfall Sinners are certainly no easy prey, having not lost a match in the last two rounds of the cup, and obviously holding no intention of losing one now.
"The reckoning has come." Poisonbane was reported to have shouted moments before the match. "Gray needs to be cut down a few notches. Khaine shines upon the Sinners!"
Gray's remarks were, as usual flippant. "The elves can run, pass, catch and die for all I care. Nothing changes the fact that the game of bloodbowl is a gentlemen's sport and it's Gentlemen who are going to win it."
So game on tonight! Sinners v Gentlemen - Be there for the rumble down at fumbbl!!!

Go Gents, a bunch of refined gents (though admittedly somewhat on the nose) such of yourselves deserve to win the big game after all living twice does add to the experience.
All the best from the "Leftover Bitz"
damn now I finished my qual matches I must live vicariously through others |

Always nice to see some support from a bunch of like-minded chaps. You only live twice after all.
Good luck getting into div2 next round. And remember, if bored there's always those match reports to write. |

Mr Whippy's Donut Boys Cream Them!
Tonight, the Whippy's whipped their 2 QPool opponents...
Firstly, the Bovine Biters fell 2-0 (Scorecard)
And secondly, the John Ward and the Invincibles went down amazingly 3-0! (Scorecard)
Welcome to the SWL Slassh & Neal respectively... maybe you can play the big boys soon!!
(Colourful match reports to come)
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL SWL'ers! |

I'm not sure if this is the right place on the forum or not, but anyway...
Anyone in the qualifying pool prepared to play me from 11am EST (including daylight savings) Jan 2?
If so, meet me 15 minutes before in IRC.
I have _never_ played Javabowl before. This will be my first game - and it will be slow.
If that doesn't phase you - see you there! |

Okay Troops,
I'm on holidays from the 3rd to about the 11th and so won't be around. While I'm gone, I've organised for Founder rights (editing scores, forfeiting matches etc.) to be transfered to Clayinfinity. Hopefully I'll be able to wrest power back from him on my return.
He'll be in charge of keeping the ball rolling, and he's one tough bicky, so you better get them games in or else he'll just forfeit y'all.
He might just start forfeiting anyhow, who knows? So you best show respect... |
