Background
The original E.L.F. (Elves Leaving the Forest) League, was founded 1 Jan 2005 by AFK_Eagle, and existed to expand the horizons of elven coaches. The perception amongst most of fumbbl is that an elf coach will only play another elf, for fear of team annihilation. Unfortunately, that perception, while not global, certainly has its roots in reality.
No more! We elven coaches are tired of being labelled "pansies" simply because we're faster and more agile than other races. Their jealousies of our natural gifts leads them to laugh at us and not take our game seriously. It's high time we taught them to rethink their opinion! We of the E.L.F. are going to not only accept challenges from other races, but issue them ourselves! Let them keep laughing as we pass and score at will against them. We might not gain their admiration, but at least by playing we can regain a measure of respect as proper members of the bloodbowl community.
Blood Bowl 2020 made things WORSE for elves. The version of Blood Bowl which was suppose to promote passing has done anything but that. Elves gonna elf though. E.L.F. II is here to promote Elves in the Blood Bowl 2020 environment.

The Goal
E.L.F. II is here to encourage elf teams to play a variety of other rosters, earning points by doing so. Top teams win awards, as do top Blackbox and League teams. Other awards are available, for playing all the categories, and suffering the most casualties.

During the season, pick any two different races from each category, 10 teams in total. Total your score for those 10 games: this is your season score. If you wish to improve upon your score, replay any category and / or team you wish; only the best two games per category against two different races will count!
For example: during the season you play Dwarves twice. You can only report one of these scores (the higher of the two no matter which order you played the matches) in Category A and must get a match vs. either Chaos Dwarves or Orcs to report a 2nd score for Category A! And, even if you play all three Category A races, only two scores may be reported! - Special Category Rule
Only one game against a stunty team will count--you can't complete category E by playing halfling, snotlings, ogres, and/or goblin (or any other identified stunty team)--the game yielding the highest score will count, then play another race from category E to complete your cycle. - The Cycle
When you have a complete set of 10 reportable scores (2 matches vs. different races in each of the 5 categories), your team is said to have "Completed the Cycle." Congrats!

Automated Scoring
The E.L.F. uses NodeJS programs to collect all the scoring information for the E.L.F. II group. (The Razbot tracks and scores the games, and a separate processes regularly compile the score cards.) Each individual team's matches are reviewed and a score is tallied for each team and the overall group standings are compiled.
Several times a day, a summary score card shall be generated a link to which is in the Seasons section. A listing of all the teams in order by score will be featured, with a '*' denoting those teams which have completed the cycle. (Please be aware that the periodic score cards and final reports are on an AWS content delivery network which is 'eventually consistent', which means the version you get could fluctuate as the scorecard is updated in cache.)
Rankings for the top League Division teams (including Secret League 2020) is being added to the final report for the Nov-Dec 2022 season, with a single award for the League division team with the most points at the end of the season.
Rankings for the top Blackbox Division teams (teams which only played games matched using the Blackbox scheduler during the season) is being added to the final report for the Jan-Feb 2023, with awards for the top three teams at the end of the season.
If you ever have questions about what matches are being scored or see a discrepancy in the points, please feels free to PM razmus with your concerns.

Other Tidbits and Lore
Synnful Sprint
Coach Synn; likes to add an extra bit of difficulty to an E.L.F. season - something known as a "sprint." The challenge is to take a new TR100 team and refuse all matches vs. other elves for the first 20 games. After that time, the sprinter is free to play other elves.
Extra difficult and not for the squeamish! It's nothing official, just a sort of 'side bet' some of the coaches like to run.
Dalfort Dash
Playing 10 different races not enough of a challenge for you?
Coach Dalfort suggests you try and play all the races during the course of a season. Once you have done so you have completed a Dash!
Kondor Kluster
You know you can coach more than one team in a season, right?
Coach Kondor suggests you complete the Cycle with one of each of the four elf races in a single season. Do you have the fortitude for forty matches minimum?

Please note that games played before the team is accepted into E.L.F. won't be scored.
