The teams are now on the opening post for you to view . . . . . .

As a reminder, every team gets at least 1 of every positional they have and where possible a minimum of 2 rerolls.

Two of the teams have a star player - Ogres and Halflings.

Aspiring to improve on mid-table mediocrity, over in the SAWBBL.

Fancy an actual one-dayer? Check out The Coffee Cup.

Looking at attending your first tournament? Have a read of this.

And you thought WE would come up with silly team rosters :lol:

I like it- lots of sub optimal team choices, especially Tier 1. Should be fun.

Goblins suffered because of the new positionals. If there was no Doom Diver and 'Ooligan they would have had fungus most likely. They do have 2 bribes however so with careful management and a little luck 2 of the 3 weapons could put in an appearance in the 2nd half.

Woodies were really hard to get 1 of each positional and 11 players into a 1 million TV build. It means only one wardancer and 1 reroll. I don't think they will be anyones early pick at all.

Dwarfs suffer because of the Deathroller as that costs them several other positionals.

Dark Elfs are not Blitzer heavy at all.

Add to all that the 2 skill ups each round, it should make for some interesting teams. I'm looking forward to seeing how they all fare.

Some rosters are stronger than others but that's always the case

I think they look good! Many rosters aren't optimal, sure, but that's what you get with low TV. It'll be intesting to play lizards with 4 Saurus or Nurgle with two Warriors. Bring it on, I say!!

Well here we go people . . . . . we'll be doing the draw at the same rate that we get responses from those pulled out the hat. We'll draw 2 coaches, get their choices and then draw 2 more etc etc.

The first coach out the hat and one that will have the full choice of teams (along with their opponent) is . . . . . .

Well, some would say this is a fix as its my tournament wing man - you know, the chap who walks in my shadow, carries my bag, rolls my dice if I snap my fingers and generally acts as my lackey . . . . it's none other than the beard-who-walks . . . .Cornish! Now interestingly he has promised for the Chimera Cup not to play any teams he has already used at a NAF event. Personally I don't believe him. Watch him crack now and say Halflings!

His opponent is . . . . .

What a great match up . . . .well for his opponent! Some players always have a bogey man and this is one of Cornish's. To be fair, he has a blocked nose full of bogey opponents, but this one has done him a number of times at tournaments. It's the senior half of another Bloodbowl double act. It's the Brummie Bruiser himself - Gorgoroth! He's given up the Stuntie Scamble for this, lets hope he has a good one!

Gentlemen - expect a PM from me shortly. The faster you make your choices, the faster we move on to the next pair.

Suggestion, do all the draw and then the selection of race by the coaches. Because if someone is in holidays it will take long time to have all the draw :lol:
