All coaches are expected to be
reasonable sportsmen.
The league recognizes that in a competitive environment,
tempers may flare and frustration at poor luck may cause
things to be said in the heat of the moment.
Though the league does not support or condone such outbursts,
it does understand them.
However, coaches must remain reasonable sportsmen.
This includes, but is not limited to, the following: | |
| |
· |
Coaches will NOT swear at their opponent… period.
There are no exceptions. |
| |
· |
Coaches will stay to finish all post-game elements
with their opponents regardless of how poorly the game went
(or whether or not the game was forfeited).
If a coach makes a deal with their opponent to do this another time,
that is fine… but otherwise it is considered part of the game
(hence post-game) and the game is not complete until
post-game is finished. |
| |
· |
Coaches are expected to consider not only their
own enjoyment, but that of their opponent as well.
The OLBBL is not a place for people to display their testosterone…
it is rather a place for coaches to gather and enjoy a game they
love to play. |

In-game deals are a part of Blood Bowl.
Whether it is buying your opponent’s apothecary so that you can
save a key player’s life, or agreeing not to play a particularly
nasty card in exchange for your opponent doing likewise… it is
expected that these kinds of deals will remain a part of the game.
However, deals that include more nefarious or underhanded dealings
will not be acceptable. Examples of such outlawed activity include,
but are not limited to: |
| |
· |
Coaches agreeing to a “retirement” game, where one
player basically agrees to get killed,
while the other agrees to kill them. |
| |
· |
Arranging to lose games (this was done once to
change a teams’ position in the post-season standings to avoid a
certain matchup). |
| |
· |
Agreeing to “bend the league rules” in order to
accomplish something both coaches wish to have happen (this has been
done in order to save players that had legitimately died). |
| |
· |
Agreeing to blatantly “run up the score” in order to
gain easy spps in a game. Teams that are ahead by a decisively lopsided
score may allow one (and only one) mercy touchdown and then, if time
permits, run one in of their own in the remaining turns of the game. No more. |
