It's the end of the world as we know it
We made it and Lenny Bruce is not afraid! It was close with the 24th game of the streak being vs a bunch of ogres. They quickly took the elves down to having only 11 elves available for the next game. Luckily after that the rest of the injuries were badly hurts so the elves of Michigan GT were able to field eleven elves for their 25th game and earn their badge. After the game half the team quit and filed a complaint with the Elven Bloodbowl Player Union accusing the team of not providing sufficient protection and onsite medical care. Citing the fact that over the last 25 games all but three players were permanently injuried or killed. This was promptly rejected as it was pointed out that Michigan GT is a ELF team and needs to suck it up. They did say that it would have been nice to hire some Wandering Apothecaries or repair some broken armour rather than donating 830,000 to charity but that is not a requirement of the player's contracts. Warmachine, Age of Sigmar, and Underworlds promptly quit the team.

Overall the streak was much more successful than I expected. The team went 15/4/6 playing 17 different races. They narrowly failed to complete an ELF cycle being unable to find a non-Nurgle Chaos opponent. Had this been an ELF season the team would have earned a score of 264.

The most surprising part of the process was how high my team value was 12 of the 25 games were played with a team value in excess of 2400k with most of those being greater than 2500. Apparently not firing players for injuries inflates your TV more than I thought it would.

I've run the Badlands Survivalists League in the Americas(based on SSL) which does not permit firing of players in the normal manner and the Wood Elves https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=907596 have had quite a run and had as many as 18 permanent injuries at the same time.

Good times.
