By the way, my coach's name is Gruff Axehead, not Darkson.

Gruff was the coach of my Norse team, the Nordland Wolves, who joined the Skaven team the Underdark Daggers before being forcibly transfered to the Black Mountain Bears after a match record of P3/L2/going to lose 1.

Question:
How do you regulate the cheating that is bound to go on in updating rosters? If I challenge coach B how do I know that he really earned 23 spp's against coach A? Also what will you do about coaches who play 2 games at once and only keep the better game?

Not the commish here, but I think that this question has a simple answer.

The same way that rostered games take place. The rosters etc are all held by the commish, who sets up the games, and uses the rosters that he keeps. So at any time, he will know who is playing who, and limit the games to 1 per team at a time. He will also be checking any logs that come back and updating the rosters off that, rather than taking people's word for it. Apart from the way the matches are organised, there's no real difference between this any any other PBeM league.

Pariah - Scott pretty much hit it on the head. I hold all the rosters and do all the updating of them. I also will be checking the game files for cheating.

A challenge is made simply by emailing the team you are challenging and copying me in. The challenged coach has 24 hours to respond; Accept, Refuse or substitute. The coach responds to both the challenger and myself. I then create the game file, or update the league points in the event of a refusal.

Bottom line: once you send me a roster...I do all the work. All you do is challenge and play. Yes it may take me a little bit to get the game file out once a challenge is accepted, but I will do my best to get it out in a timely fashion.

Of course...

There is NO LIMIT to the number of teams that may be in the challenge league.

The only limit is that you may only have 2 teams active at one time.

So, I'm in as well. Playing against the BB dwarves.....
And I must say that it goes terribly :(
Three turnovers in rapid successions even with rerolls. And although my opponent had no more rerolls after his second turn, he doesn't need them anymore either.
I hate playing dwarves. I hate them :D

Why did I accept this, I must have been filled with absinth and laudanum :roll:

C'mon Tchatter, don't keep us in suspense, when's the Skaven clan league starting? I've seen the advertising on your REBBL site, tell us now! :lol:

As soon as I...

1. Get the new REBBL league website all fixed up.

2. Try to clean up the challenge league website.

3. Figure out an easy way to track all the Fouls succeeded/Failed, Fouls attempted/Failed, etc... for the clan league.

4. Figure out how to make a clan league run smoothly and efficiently (in other words: the challenge process, or do I do something similar to the MBBL, or do I do a fixed schedule... don't know, but I don't like how the challenge league is running...too much work on my part.)
