IMPORTANT

PLAY NO GAMES WITH YOUR LEAGUE TEAMS BETWEEN SEASONS. ALL TEAMS SHOULD HAVE 0 or 7 GAMES PLAYED (or if you joined late, the appropriate amount).

Cut and Paste rules for first post.

The Official Rerolled.org Blood Bowl Tournament League!


Feel free to join the Steam Group for ease of communicating your matches --http://steamcommunity.com/groups/RRBB#


We are now accepting applications for teams to the Blood Bowl league. For those of you new to the game, here is how you go about this -

Go to multiplayer, make a coach name and log in (it's like an old school battle.net log in).

On the overview, go to "Create Team," and build one.

Then, go to Leagues, click on the League Finder button. Search for rerolled.org, and you'll see it pop up. (You will also see our Open League, which is where any number of matches can be played with any number of teams). You are looking for Rerolled.org Official League.

On the bottom of that window, you should be able to choose your unregistered teams, and apply for the league.

Post in this thread, say something in IRC #swampdonkey (info here --http://www.rerolled.org/showthread.p...rg-swampdonkey) or PM me or another admin if it's been longer than a few hours, and we'll get you approved for the league.


The Rules!

(disclaimer -- I shamelessly cut and paste a lot of this from the Orca Cola Cup forums, with minor tweaks for our specific situation. They are one of the premier leagues and have been doing Blood Bowl competitively for a long time, there's no reason for me to reinvent the wheel here. I do this out of respect and the lack of desire to sit down and word my own shit. Hopefully no one complains or feels offended)

This is a structured competitive league setting for playing games. Only new teams are allowed, and you may ONLY play your league matches with said team. The Rerolled.org Open League and the various public leagues are available for you to play games (with different teams) outside of the season structure for the competitive league. This rule exists to keep the playing field level with regard to matches played.

Sign up

Signing up for a season means that you are committing yourself to playing a full season. We reserve the right to ban any participant from future seasons if they don't finish their season. Seasons are 7 games long, so that means 7 weeks.

Teams


All teams starting in the league need to have a team value between 950 and 1000 while fielding a minimum of 11 players.
Stunty teams are allowed to have a team value between 500 and 1000 while fielding a minimum of 11 players.
Starting teams are required to have 0 games played and 0 SPP across the roster.
Existing teams are forbidden to play any games between seasons.
Existing teams are forbidden to play any games outside of the league structure.

Matches

Match days run from Wednesday to Tuesday midnight.
League Admins will never grant extensions of a match day.
Your league admin team will forward the match day every Wednesday.
You are responsible for scheduling your matches. You can do this by posting a date and time proposal on the boards, in the IRC #swampdonkey channel, by Private Message, E-mail, in game mail/chat, or the Steam group --http://steamcommunity.com/groups/RRBB#


Remember we have a VoIP server (Ventrilo) running as well that Obilio was nice enough to pay for. Information here -http://www.rerolled.org/showthread.p...ll=1#post41819

Name: rerolled.typefrag.com
Port: 63046
Password: nuffle

Currently it is only a 10 man server and I paid for a year up front, if we need more slots I will open up donations.

Please note there is a 30 minute Idle Kick Timer because of the limited space.

Lastly, I will make Hatorade and few others Admin just to avoid drama and abuse from asshats.


EDIT: Please use the same name in vent that you use for BB Coach/Steam/Rerolled
Keep your Admin team up to date if you're failing to grab a hold of your opponent.
If you make no effort to get in touch with your opponent and/or the League Admin team before Friday 19h CET, then you forfeit any right to a draw if game is admined.

Post Match

League Admins/Roaming Admins will validate your games as soon as possible after requesting it to be done. Note that until that point in time your earned SPP and gate earnings will NOT show up on your team management screen. This is a function of the game, and prevents disconnect abuse.

Disconnections

When you suffer a DC/crash/time-out or game breaking bug; the two affected coaches will have the option of -

1 - Coaches agree between themselves what would be the fairest outcome had the game continued. They BOTH inform that decision towards their league admin team and the result gets admined accordingly.
2 - Coaches agree upon replaying the game before the end of the match day deadline. They send out a request for reset towards their league admin team ASAP. The league admin team will reset the game as soon as possible. (DO NOT harass the league admin team in case the reset isn't instantaneously)
#3- If you cannot come to any of the agreements ruled in #1 or #2 you'll have to face whatever score set by the game at the end of the match day.

Disputes

When you have a dispute regarding a match result and the dispute is not covered by the above rules then contact your League Admin team ASAP. Make sure to explain as thoroughly as possible what your exact dispute is.

Unplayed games

When a game remains unplayed on the day the League Admin teams forwards the match day and NO information on the coaches scheduling is know by the League Admin team, a 1-1 draw will be issued.
When a game remains unplayed on the day the League Admin teams forwards the match day and information on the coaches scheduling is know by the League Admin team, a 2-0 win will be issued to the coach who did make an effort/attempt in getting it organized. Note that by doing this, the losing coach forfeits his MVP and winnings, and the coach you concede to gets double winnings, and double MVP's.
When a game remains unplayed on the day the League Admin teams forwards the match day and incidentally there was no possible way the game could be played due to personal schedules of the coaches involved, a 1-1 draw will be issued.

12 player bug


If it's on the first kick-off of the game, both players can alt-F4 out and the game wont count or need a reset.
If it's any other kick-off:
Before moving any of your players (and preferably before the kick off event) designate one player on your team as the "extra" player in the chat. Move that player out of the way, towards your end zone. Make absolutely certain he's not hindering your opponent. The player in question can't be blocked or blitzed by your opponent unless he's in the way.


League Structure

The league will be divided into 2 or more divisions for play to make the experience better for everyone. How many divisions will be decided by how many participants are involved. Upon the close of a season, the winner of division 1 shall be declared the league champion. The bottom 2 players in each division will be moved to the next lower division, and the top 2 players in each division will be moved to the next higher division for next season. For Division 1, the bottom 4 players will be moved to D2, and the top 2 players in each of the 2nd divisions will move into D1. Rankings will be determined by win/loss ratio, then head to head result, finally by coin flip, or playoff game, at the mutual consent of all participants.

Applications

Upon applying to the league, I would ask that you post on the forums and rate your ability/comfort of the game on a scale from 1-5, 1 being very comfortable with the rules and feel that you are ready for serious competition, 5 being brand new to the game and still learning the ropes. T

New BB manager leagues..."Rerolled S2 Dx" leagues 7555-7559.

BB Manager

BB Manager *ENTIRELY OPTIONAL*

So there's a program out there called BB Manager which is basically a log parser for blood bowl games. It has far more detailed stat tracking than the interface in game. All you need to do is download it, login with your coach name, and upload your matches to it. I have the league already set up for it, so you can find them easily and add your matches to it if you so desire.

I assume no responsibility for any damage caused by said program. Large leagues use it, I assume it's safe, but your mileage may vary.

Download link

http://94.23.239.117/BloodBowlManage...ce/publish.htm

Once you install it, create an account (the email address field is only there for an easy password reset), use your same coach name as in game, USE A DIFFERENT PASSWORD, and connect.

Once into the program, you can click on Leagues, filter by "in progress leagues" and it will bring up a list. You can sort and find ours. Ours are the newest ones, so they have the highest ID numbers currently. They suggested that I need a different league for each division, so Rerolled.org Official League, div 1-4 are in there, league ID's 7204 to 7207.

I have currently uploaded my 2 matches for division 1, so if you want to see what kind of data the game gives you, you can click on my matches with Moontayle and Oblio and see all kinds of interesting data ranging from normal shit like injuries/cas/possessions/rushing/etc to how many of each dice result you rolled and the deviation from normal. You can click on "Matches" and find our leagues too, and see the detailed results of every match, as well as download the replay if you so desire.

To upload -

If you have BB manager running, and YOU HAVE JUST FINISHED THE GAME YOU WISH TO UPLOAD, a notification window should pop up on your taskbar which when clicked should take you to the correct dialog. It should show team names for the match you have just finished, simply fill in the fields with Coach names (until they all get populated, then you can select from the drop down box) and select which match day it was (we are on 2 right now), and then the password for all our leagues is -

swampdonkey


And click on submit. It will upload and parse all the data.

Now, there's an important thing here -- the files that are used by BB manager are overwritten every time you play a game. So in order for you to upload a game, you have to have not played/watched another one since. The good thing is that you can recreate these files simply by going into Single Player - Load - Replays and watch your game (use the + key to fast forward) and when it finishes, all of the files will be correct, and it will be able to be uploaded to BB manager.

Only one player needs to upload the matches, so if your match is already on there, you don't need to do it again.

I'll approve the whole mess of them at once in the morning. Still need to make admins too, so one man show at the moment.

But, on vacation after this morning, so I'll have time to get them done. The sooner everyone gets in, the sooner we start S2.

I'll do a vamp team for D3. I've always wanted to play them but have never done more than a game here or there so it'll be fun plus I'll be extra sucky (pun intended). I'll make it and app later tonight.

I'll try this out. apped to D4 just now.
Hah, you sure you wanna go with Halflings?

That was for experienced coaches to help out the noobs. If you're new to the game, feel free to create a normal, competitive team to play.
