    One more card and it's all over! It's going to be close. I reckon contract flips could be a deciding factor.

    Going to Guard that hit on the Vampire, so -1 fan.

    Also, going to play Lineman to 3 and use my passing coach.

    Heartripper gives the Blocker an "I double-dog dare you." look.

    (The Guard fails because all players at that matchup have lost Guard)

    While I hate to keep you all in suspense, I have a late-night lab and won't be at my home PC until later tonight.

    rZX4BnS.pngThis is it, Jim. It all comes down to this!
    The refs have already stated that there will be no overtime under penalty of death, so I hope the coaches have planned accordingly! aKUkr3r.png

    For ease of reading, power in bold represents possession of the ball, and power in italics is total power gained from cheating.

    1. Athelorn Avengers: 8 (5 + 3)

    The enemy team had to forfeit due to lack of health players! The Athelorn Avengers win on a technicality! The take all of the winnings, and gain +3 Fans from Offensive Firepower and Endorsement Deal!

    2. Skavenblight Scramblers: 0
    Athelorn Avengers: 3

    The Athelorn Avengers crush their enemies! They gain +3 Fans from Offensive Firepower and Endorsement Deal!

    3. Black Fangs: 3
    Skavenblight Scramblers: 4 (2 + 2)

    The Skavenblight Scramblers take the ball into the end zone!

    4. Black Fangs: 3 (1 + 2)
    Athelorn Avengers: 3

    The Black Fangs get the critical tiebreaking touchdown!

    Champions of Undeath

    5. Bone Crusher was pocketing an extra-thick bludgeon! (+2 Power)
    The Thrall Blocker spiked his opponent's water cooler! (+1 Power)
    The Thrall Blocker was hiding a second ball! (+2 Power)
    Horkon Heartripper was caught celebrating prematurely! (+1 Fan)

    Skavenblight Scramblers: 9 (1 +2 + 3 + 3)
    Black Fangs: 7 (2 + 2 + 3)
    Champions of Undeath: 13 (0 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4)
    Athelorn Avengers 4

    The Champions of Undeath take home the Blood Bowl Trophy, with the Skavenblight Scramblers coming in second!

    Well Bob, it's been a dynamite season. The competition was tough, but the Champions of Undeath proved that not even the grave itself can stop these professionals! aKUkr3r.png

    rZX4BnS.pngIt's a team with a bright future for sure, Jim. Well...maybe bright is the wrong choice of words.
    But another congratulations to our Blood Bowl winners! And on a less important note...

    That means you can all watch something else now.
    It's time for Spike to announced their coveted Manager of the Year award! Let's see who conned enough suckers into buying shoddy merchandise this season!

    Everyone is real excited. All five of them that haven't left the stadium yet.

    Athelorn Avengers

    Current Fans: 34
    Contracts: +7 Fans (5 + 2)
    Grand Total: 41 Fans

    Skavenblight Scramblers

    Current Fans: 27
    Contracts: +8 Fans (5 + 3)
    Staff: +3 Fans (1 + 1 + 1)
    Grand Total: 38 Fans

    There you have it. Jam Warrior is the Spike Manager of the Year! A round of applause for that skilled display of shameless marketeering. aKUkr3r.png

    rZX4BnS.pngI'll think of him whenever I buy a Athelorn Avengers t-shirt. Which is never.
    And that's all from us in the announcers' box! We'll see you all next season. And remember...don't play cleaner... aKUkr3r.png

    rZX4BnS.png...play meaner! Good night, sport fans!

    For the record, the only awards that made a difference were Capfalcon's. He got +1 Fan and +4 Fans from his payout, and the team upgrades/star players had no bearing on the outcome.

    Thanks for playing! The scores were all fairly close.

    Woop!

    I put it all down to prioritising Star Player rewards in the early rounds to take advantage of all my sprint, that combo of staff cards that let me ignore the Blood Bowl scrum and rake in fans from otherwise low reward matchups, and the insane luck of one Mr Spiky McSpike.

    That was excellent fun, massive thanks to Bobkins for hosting. Well keen for another round if you run one.

    Well, what can I say? My Vampires were just too distracted by their eternal lives of endless decadance to put too much effort into this temporary diversion.

    Thanks for hosting, Bobkins!

    I didn't have much of an overall strategy as it was my first time playing. Had a lot of fun though, thanks for hosting Flymo!

    Guess the Skaven will just have to take over the world the old fashioned way...

    All seemed to run pretty smoothly to me! I can't think of much you could add to make it go better that wouldn't involve vastly more work on your end.

    I'd like to try and put the card data into Adam's handtracker, as it'd be nice to not have to rely on me for sprints and hand updates.
