Knock-out blood bowl. Far too much pressure! Not sure I can handle it.
Does anyone know what happens if a game is tied? Does BB2 have some sane overtime mechanic?
Haugster - apologies for mysterious free-SPP-gate shenanigans. Not really sure why I've gained a level up.
My flagrant cheating notwithstanding, when are you available to play? Next week would probably suit me best if you could play Monday or Tuesday? Otherwise I might be able to find some time this Thursday or Saturday if needed.

Hi Sybaris, we had trouble playing last time, how are you set up for the weekend? Saturday morning or preferably Sunday morning for you maybe? Or shout up if you have any suggestions.
Edit - What was i thinking, Friday night at 8pm Gmt could also be good.

Does anyone know what happens if a game is tied? Does BB2 have some sane overtime mechanic? **I may be completely wrong about all of this**My understanding is thus: A third "half" of 8 turns each will be played in the event of a tie after 32 turns. Re-rolls are NOT reset, but you will carry any remaining re-rolls forward. There will be a coin toss to determine who kicks and receives. It is sudden death (next touchdown scored will win). In the event of a tie after these 16 turns, the "penalty shoot-out" rules apply, which means each team rolls a D6 and adds remaining re-rolls. Highest wins. I think Cyanide have done a fancy bunch of cut-scenes of players taking kicks to make this feel more dramatic, but it basically boils down to a dice off.

20h00 GMT is the earliest i can play on week days. 16h00 EDT my time. I can do this today (thursday) or tomorrow (Friday), which one would be best for you? Then week-ends are usually very hard to place a match in due to family/fun stuff coming in, can't make any promise yet.

I managed to beat syb. I’d scored on D and killed two experienced blitzers forcing him to concede. He paid the price for that incredible winner against me in the regular season

Yeah with 3 key players out in the first few turns and no realistic way to counter the Wardancers from sacking/scoring, there was just no way in sight to turn this around. The 2 deaths and 1 MNG arrived back to back on the very best players of the tits, along with a defensive TD, and Wood Elves still had their wizard to Zap any kind of carry attempt. So best case scenario would have ended 2-1, realistic scenario was 4:0.
It's technically 3 deaths and one MNG because they went through the apothecary.
Conceding is a rare case in BB due to the dice/luck factor which can sometimes just allow you to come back, but in this particular one the two teams played like a chess match and at one point one has to recognize when there is no honest way to get back on track and give a credible fight. GL with the finals Beef.

Those Wardancers of Beefy's are horrible.
They are going on the Bounty List.
Both of them.

Hey. It's you and me! As mentioned in PM I'm waiting to hear from family whether I am free tomorrow evening, but should be able to make something work in the next few evenings if not.

Beefy's vicious elves beat up on my poor necros during the regular season, killing two of my players, before he even got any of his str 4 monstrosities. I haven't yet found a suitable replacement for wolf Bloody Holly (Keith Full Moon turned out to be a useless sack of shit and had to be let go; the jury is still out on whether Neil Die-Mond can play).
I could do with exacting some revenge, plus I'm not sure I'll have much of a chance if the str 4 wardancer is on the field for 16 turns.
