When exactly did i get the pileon-powergamer tag applied to me?

Actually in the french tournament took the skill the first time ever in my bloodbowl "career" (and i think around 20 other coaches had this skill as well).

But as we say in Germany:
"Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert,
lebt's sich bestens ungeniert!"

PILING-ON!!!!

I would be in favour of amending it so that it was declared beforehand. It then enables more variety on skill choices instead of the 'no-brainer' of taking PO.
There is sufficient time to ensure that all players of the tournament are aware of the tournament rule. In addition the tournament already is amending the rules (no apothecaries allowed) so this is not really much different to that imo.

Then again, if it's going to change in October anyway...it could be the Last Great Piling On Tourney...kinda the end of an era...turn up with Undead (while you can?) and go PO with both Mummies (while's it's worth it!).

Given that the poll is fairly even I don't think there ought to be a change. Like DW said - the last hurrah for Piling On.

Fair enough, but would you have won them all if you did?

no not really, specially the amount of times i roll combos of double skull or double both down and then the same again on the reroll ;]

won 4 drew 2

one draw was against geoffs undead that was 0-0 him getting a blitz on kickoff screwed up my offence and i stopped him scoring on his offence

the other draw was against firebreather in the last match and I was close to winning that iirc think i failed a 3+ handoff with a reroll to score
