No guest authors today, this one from me about my recent experience "Freebooting" at a couple of recent tournaments. Well, kinda, but not quite... Running a Blood Bowl tournament is fraught with perils but the big one is: "will everyone show up"? With individual tournaments the TO is often the "spare man" and will bring a team so they can both O the T and play - rather than give up a bye every round and have a player sit around without a game. Not all TO's are so keen to play

Our most recent SBBC-sanctioned tournament report is from back in June where Keithabix came top of the pile in Elgin with his Brets. We caught up with the new Mayhem champion to find out how he did it. Congrats on the win! Tell me: how long have you been playing and what are your favourite races? I started playing online with a group of school friends around May 2021. I then joined the Éire BB (Irish Blood Bowl League) online around the end of 2021. Fast forward a year I ende

In the second in a (literal) series - here's what the Scottish Blood Bowl hobby community has been up to over the past month or so. First up, Doglobro's been painting up a Giant for his upcoming tournament: Jordan's work in progress Giant Next up: Connor G - Bunneh who painted up these scary Goblins for Dundee Doubles: Connor's horror-themed Goblins Callum also painted up a team for Dundee - some lovely Bretonnians: Some very dapper Bretonnian Knights More Goblins and this ti

While we've had FUMBBL since 2002, GW official online Blood Bowl grew out of a Cyanide title called Chaos League with the release of BB1 in 2009 - with iterations released in 2015 and 2020. After Cyanide went into administration earlier this year, there was a troubling lack of information on the future of the game until it was announced that the next game, Warhammer Blood Bowl would be picked up by GW-friendly studio Slitherine. Now that the Blood Bowl has a more secure futur

Welcome to our second tournament spotlight, where each month we will be speaking to one of Scotland's TO's about their event and finding out a little bit about their history and giving you some more information about these amazing events. Up this month we have Glasbowl led by Lewis Mullan (LewishM) which is hosted in Glasgow. When was the tournament first established? 2022 What inspired the creation of the tournament? Lack of tournaments in Glasgow at the time How has the eve

June 21st is a special day in many ways: it's midsummer's day, it's my sister's birthday, but it's also MND Awareness Day. You may have spotted that the Scottish Blood Bowl Community has recently been raising money for a couple of MND charities - with funds being raised at STC for MND Scotland and the latest Team Scotland charity drive for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. MND has been in the news a lot recently after former England and British Lions rugby player Lewis Moody r

I love tournaments that Team Scotland stalwart and closet Dundonian Camelchops goes to because - due to a pre-existing agreement - I can copy his blog posts her for free content! So here's the next installment - Dundee Doubles. Enjoy! This weekend I traveled North to "visit my parents" i.e. play some Bloodbowl. Specifically, the Dundee Doubles. I’ve wanted to play this one for a while, not just because its close to home, but also because the ruleset is a bit bonkers. Tiers, b

In the first in a (putative) series - here's what the Scottish Blood Bowl hobby community has been up to over the past month or so. First up, mariotta has been working away on a Halfling for the SBBC legacy team: Awesome purple/green combo. Nest up: antholex who's about to start on "the first Warhammer models I’ve ever built and painted". You're going to have a ton of fun. Love the guy whose arm seems to have fallen off. I may steal that idea. Next up, some stunning Gnomes fr

As promised (or threatened?): the second part of Major Players focuses on the second "Major" of the calendar. This is the granddaddy of them all - the Blood Bowl! Sorry the NAF Championship! NAF Champs 2026 This year the NAFC was held in its usual spot - the scenic East Midlands Conference Centre on the outskirts of Nottingham. I've been to NAFC before (last year in fact) and it's an amazing experience with so many players and vendors packed into the hall. This year the field

Welcome to Scottish Blood Bowl's new feature, the Tournament Spotlight, where each month we will be speaking to one of Scotland's TO's about their event and finding out a little bit about their history and giving you some more information about these amazing events. First up we have Mayhem Bowl led by Andrew MacKay (Stoddieboy) which is hosted in Elgin, the North of Scotland.

The Scottish Team Championship (STC) took place last weekend in Glasgow with 20 teams facing off to determine this year's champion. Reporting on the action is Team Scotland stalwart and 208-ranked Necro coach, CamelChops. This weekend was the STC in Glasgow. 2 days, 6 games of blood bowl in teams of 4. I was in the Scottish exiles team with BB Jock, Scotland Captain, Mike Sann former NAF president and Dave Loki Stalwart of team Scotland. If you’re thinking that that’s a stron

Blood Bowl lore is full of great tournaments on and lost by the biggest teams in the sport, but four of these tournaments stand head and shoulders (and occasionally horns as well) above the rest. These are the Blood Bowl Majors: iconic tournaments steeped in the history of the sport and a coveted prize among many of the biggest coaches (and also the best coaches too - some of whom are also quite big…). Some serious (and some not so serious) Blood Bowl at 2026's first Major -

By Simon Whitehouse @CursedofNuffle So I had the pleasure of running my second tournament Doonhamer Bowl back on the 4th April 26. Whenever I run a tournament I always start off with the 2 same goals which are, make sure everyone attending has fun and secondly can I raise money for a charity. I act as the TO for Blood Bowl tournaments for my local gaming club Dumfries Gamers. Club logo of Dumfries Gamers So with planning for this tournament I waited for the 3rd Season rules t

The dust has settled on a thrilling Scottish Open tournament and - for the first time in the Open era, we have a Scottish champion! I caught up with the man of the hour to get some insights into how he managed to pull it off. Kevin "Actually_Zod" McMurdo taking the plaudits at Mulligan's Open - with TO Chris Rafferty. First up: how did you come up with your NAF name? I got my name back when we had to make a name to play online i was always in to comics and hero's and superman

So it's that time of year again where Blood Bowl coaches descend on Scotland for Mulligan's Open the Scottish National and this year it drew in 106 coaches from 12 nations which is amazing to see. This is my second Mulligan's Open and this year it moved venue from the Biscuit Factory in Edinburgh to the Glasgow University Student Union. In my opinion this was the right move as this is a venue upgrade. Glasgow University Student Union What made this tournament special for me w
