At last Newcastle has its own Blood Bowl league. Loosely organised around the The Outpost Games Bunker, the first season has kicked off. Games may be played at the Outpost shop or arranged elsewhere, with a turnaround of 1 fortnight per round. The league is using LRB5 with some very minor modifications, all seen over by the iron-fisted Commish Shannan Skehan. If you are interested in joining up in the future just drop a note in the NOBBL forum or PM me (or Shannan, once he's on here!) Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:39:27 GMT http://www.ausbowl.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=37 Friday the 13th November marks our first postseason / preseason challenge night for the Melbourne League run out of Good games in Lonsdale street. Come see our forum in the league section for more details but we are running a night of challenges and grudge matches, as well as an open 'pool' where any one can come along even if they havnt organinsed a challenge and will go in a random draw . Kickoff is at 7:30 and the 'pool' is open to anyone even non league members who want to get a taste of Blood Bowl action. We ask for people to be there by about 7:15 if they want to put their name in the random draw. There may be a small charge on the night but will be as little as we possibly can make it. $5 or less and that only if we cant cover it out of league funds. . Come all Melbournites and even if you only happen to be visiting for our first ever ... FRIDAY NIGHT FRIGHT BALL!!!! Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:13:41 GMT http://www.ausbowl.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=36 As you will see if you have a look at the trophy, the Chaos Cup is not exactly the most desirable of objects to win. The status it carries, however, is second only to the Blood Bowl. Originally known as the Whiteskull Challenge Cup, it was played for by eight top teams from the AFC while the conference winners were away competing in the Blood Bowl. With the collapse of the NAF in ’88 the Chaos Cup became the first trophy to be given away in the new style ‘Open’ tournaments. The Sydney League of Blood Bowl (SLOBB) is about to wrap up season 2, and is looking to commence season 3 playing for the Chaos Cup in October. The League runs two streams. A Fixed league setup, with pools and an 8 team finals campaign, with a 1 game a month commitment, played out over 6-8 months. As well as an Open league where a more traditional league setup takes place, and where teams line up their own opponents as they please. This is designed to give people regular Blood Bowl, while also catering to those who have the time to play a whole lot more. SLOBB is the premier league in NSW with some of the top coaches in Australia calling it home. A SLOBB team recently took out the teams competition at Eucalyptus Bowl 09' So if you are looking for a challenge or even want to learn the ropes, you will find a friendly environment amongst experienced and beginner coaches at SLOBB. For more information please peruse the SLOBB forums right here on AusBowl. Or check out our website at: http://www.slobb.doubleskulls.net/index.php Any one interested in joining for season 3 please contact myself via PM. We are looking for coaches to play atleast one game in the open league before being granted a spot in the main draw. But any late comers are more than welcome to get their feet wet first in the open league, and may find themselves offered a fixed position should there be any dropouts. Rabid_Bogscum (SLOBB Commissioner) Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:16:01 GMT http://www.ausbowl.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=35 The 29th season of the Southern Wastes League will kick off shortly on FUMBBL. For the uninitiated FUMBBL is an online client for playing Blood Bowl which uses LRB4. The SWL is a league set up specifically for people in the Oceania timezones, with its own irc chatroom and separate fluff website. Check it out at fumbbl.com and http://swl.servegame.org/swl/ and if you need a hand with anything just give me a yell.

It is based in the Penrith/Lower Blue Mountains area, but you do not have to live in this region. You do however have to commit to traveling to this area to play your games. 1 game per fortnight is all that needs to be commited to. Perpetual teams and rookie teams are used in this league. If interested head over to the FOTMBBL forum and present your expression of interest.

SLOBB is a laid back league with a 1 game a month commitment. There is also an open league for those that either cant commit to a fixed league, or those that just need more Blood Bowl. SLOBB is the premier league in NSW, with all the top coaches (including possibly the best Coach in Australia in Ian "Doubleskulls" Williams), so if you fancy yourself as a handy coach, or simply want to learn the ropes from the best. Then this is the league for you. The league plays under LRB 5.0 (including the latest Experimental ruleset), and we are more than happy to show new coaches the ropes, or refresh grizzled veterans with the latest ruleset. This upcoming seasons final will even feature the old Dungeon Bowl rules, modified where necessary to suit LRB 5.0. Feel free to check out our website at http://www.slobb.doubleskulls.net/index.php Our Forums are right here on AusBowl, so please peruse them, and if you have any questions or would like to join the league, please dont hesitate to drop me a PM. James "Rabid Bogs(edited)" Russell-Wills SLOBB Commissioner Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:59:19 GMT http://www.ausbowl.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=31 The next season of the Southern Valley League is now open for entries. An email has been sent to all coaches who have expressed interest letting them know that we have moved to a new website, so you can now find us at www.southernvalley.bloodbowlleague.com At the moment, it looks like we will have 22 coaches with 37 teams split up into three divisions based on team value. All coaches should enter their teams by the 18th of Feb so the new season can kick-off ASAP. If you live in the ACT and are interested in playing then you will need to get in touch with us ASAP. Thanks The Commissioners Four Sun, 15 Feb 2009 23:22:38 GMT http://www.ausbowl.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=30 Chaos Pact teams are a mix of evil and chaotic races. The Marauders while enthusiastic have to be coached to fill the different needs of the team while other races provide the muscle and fineness to support the Marauders. However due to the arrogance, stupidity, or animalistic nature of the team members, it is rare to see a well organized and effective Chaos Pact team. The Chaos All-Stars are the best example of how great this team can be with the right coach. If you wish to be involved in the annual AusBowl Legacy team find the appropriate posts in the Hobby Forums and let your voice be heard.
