Fantasy football. Miniatures. Mayhem. Orcs with a grudge and Dwarves with grudgier ones. This is Blood Bowl — and we're running our first ever league this spring. Here's everything you need to know before you lace up (or, uh, nail on) your cleats.

League Format

The regular season will consist of four games. The top four teams will play in the semi-finals, with two teams advancing to the final.

Games will be scheduled during overlapping two-week periods.

Coaches will be assigned opponents, and self-schedule their matches.

Play is available in-store when the Games Room is open, or arrange a match elsewhere with your opponent. Loaner dice and pitches are available if you play in store.

Your Team

Teams are played using Blood Bowl Third Season rules. Players accumulate experience, level up, and — inevitably — suffer injuries that carry into future games.

Loaner teams are available in-store for new coaches getting started. Coaches are expected to have their own minis by end of regular season.

Communication

All league communication happens through the Arrow Wood Games Discord server (which will launch just in time for the league!)

Results are reported via the TourPlay app. A TourPlay account is required to register your team.

Prizes & Recognition

The top 4 teams advance to a single-elimination post-season.

Prizes and player awards are presented at the Season-ender Party.

There will be prizes for excellence.
