RPS Blood Bowl League - The many, many Divisions of Death!

[Heliocentric]

Can whoever I have to play or someone walk my through what I need to do.

[Tom OBedlam]

Catcher and a thrower it is then.

Can whoever I have to play or someone walk my through what I need to do.

Apologies if this comes off as a bit basic, I'm trying to cover all bases. Assuming you're new to the video game as well as the league:

1. Create your team
Go into multiplayer mode, internet leagues, log in (sign up if this is your frist time).
On your Profile tab create a new team.

2. Apply to the division
Go to the Leagues tab, then use the League Finder button to find the right division to apply to ("rps" is a good search term and should bring up everything).
Select your new team from the "My registered teams" drop-down box, and hit the apply button. Don't worry if the league looks full, as this is usually the case between seasons. An admin will sort it out.
Add the password (chainsawed) and you're done! An admin will accept your application later.

3. Join the RPS Divisions of Death forum group
We use the discussion threads within this group as the main way to organise matches.

4. Keep an eye on this thread
If people in divisions above you drop out, you may be promoted and required to re-apply to a new division at short notice.

Hope that helps.

how do I get the Blighters out of Div F to add them to Div 5? Its almost like Cyanide want to drive me slowly mad.

Go into Div F's league screen, go to the "My registered teams" drop-down list, select your team and the option to remove them should appear. Then just go into the Div 5 league screen and apply as normal.

ta, Screwie. Appled.

5. if you are new to the game and have not played multiplayer before then make another team and play a game or two in one of the public leagues like Naggorath. This will ensure that the game works properly on your net and that you don't have the dreaded 16950 port error when you try to play multiplayer.
This error is actually quite simple to fix using port forwarding on your router, but it does require a bit of googling, a little bit of messing around with a router interface, some trial and error, and admin access to your router. The time to find out that you have this problem is ideally before your first scheduled game in the divisions.

Hope that helps.

Yeah ball-handling is your weakness there, get a catcher and a thrower in whatever order, then another catcher.

Human catchers are half decent at their jobs already, so get a couple and give them wrestle and dauntless. Suddenly enemy ball carriers are not as far away from your team as they thought they were.

Combat and I managed to play the final game from last season earlier.

(me) Fly Soup - Nurgle vs Chaos - The Death Jesters (Combat)

Bashing begot bashing for a very bashy 1st half. Equal injuries on both sides and lots of K.O.s My runner got a broken jaw and the apoc saved one of Combats men from certain death.

Neither side gave any ground and after some early round turnovers a Nurgley Pestigor managed to get close to the touchline. Nuffle beamed a grin and Combat's blitzing beastman rolled a double push vs the ball carrier. With no re-rolls left the Pestigor somehow managed to escape his mark and scored on turn 8.

Half Time 1 - 0

Second half had even more bashing than the first. Combat's Minotaur destroyed Fly Soup's right flank and kept it open for the rest of the half; Frenzily piling-on to any Nurgle players that came close. Combat edged his way along the flank with a solid block of players, but with 3 turns left and no re-rolls remaining suffered a bad block and turned over a bit too early. The rear of his cage was open and astinky Nurgle Warrior pushed the ball carrier off the pitch.

The ball came back into play deep in the Chaos team's half and offered no chance of recovery with just 3 turns left. Both teams made the most of the remaining turns for extra bashy-goodness. Unfortunately this led to the death of a Death Jester player and, subsequently, the birth of a new rotter.

Full Time 1 - 0

A tough game from start to finish and lots of fun to play. Thanks Combat.

Or make a team and join the RPS Challenge League, then ask one of us lot for a game to check whether cyanide will permit you to actually play against other humans.

[NieA7]

Hey, forget what I typed before. How come NieA7 moved across to the letters, but then up a division as well? Am confuse.

This. I mean I don't mind being in Div A (despite how much I complain, that's just part of the fun), I just don't want it to be in place of someone who's earned it.

[Gorm]

Yea i moved up to D from 5. Doesnt seem right.

[Screwie]

Yea i moved up to D from 5. Doesnt seem right.

Technically moving from D to 5 is down. :)

[Jolima]

That's why he said "to D from 5" instead of "from D to 5". :)

[Screwie]

Bah I should not be reading and writing tonight. >.>

[groovychainsaw]

Err, sorry about this everyone, but it does appear I got it wrong with NieA7's promotion. Also, as Kelron requested to return before this new season started, I decided to reinstate him back into his place whilst doing this reshuffle, which seems fair to me, at least :-). I've also knocked out windward and valiant for not responding (or not that I noticed, correct me if I'm wrong!). A handful of you may therefore need to apply elsewhere now, a few people may find they have slipped back again(!), apologies to those, but I think I've got it to a fair reflection of everyone's season ;-).

I'm going to go in and start updating how many applications we have in the right place so far too, to see how close we are to starting up again :-). Let me know if anything else seems amiss... I'm always listening, if not always at a PC to do anything about it :-D

[Gorm]

Ignore me, i cant read spreadsheets.

[groovychainsaw]

Well, I'm quite happy to have him back if he re-emerges from the beach and lets me know :-). If not, he can join us again once he gets back in season 16.

[LowKey]

thanks groovy, just applied to Div C with no problems

[duff]

Oh, I haz humans / humans / chaos next season. Could be alot of close games.

[groovychainsaw]

Ok, we're still missng.. let me see... 24 applications! :-o (/wags finger).

Get applying chaps, the sooner we get everyone in, the sooner we can start our Christmas season!

/Edit - And one of those humans is me. But you have 10 players with dodge and I only have one with tackle. I think we know what will happen...
/Double edit - Still, its the first time in about 3 seasons I've even seen an AV7 player who wasn't my own catcher :-)

[duff]

Yeh, I've been waiting all year to get hold of your tackle.
