Hello fellow North Eastern Bloodbowlers! I'm here as the general overlord of the Geordie Blood Bowl League (GBBL) to invite you to come join us! Some facts first:
- We are based in and around the Newcastle area, as far North as Northumberland and as far South as Darlington.
- We have around a dozen current coaches, of which 9 of us are involved in the league.
- Several of our coaches are familiar names on the UK tournament scene.
- If you'd like to get in contact with us then drop the league an email or PM me either here or on TFF. The league email address is geordiebowl@yahoo.co.uk.
- We've been playing together since 2008, and are entering our eleventh season now (January '14)
We organise a lot of our gaming and tournaments via instant mobile messenger, but also have a forum we try to keep up to date. You can find the link HERE. You can view our forum without signing up, but we'd love you to leave us a few posts. |

If you are interested in playing in our league, here are a couple of overviews of our current season:
- We play a slightly amended version of CRP, mainly around inducement rules.
- The current season is an open format where you schedule your own games, we have previously played fixed schedules though.
- After the regular season we use a playoff to determine the overall winner.
- Seasons typically last 6 months.
- This season is 16 games then playoffs, with all teams starting from scratch.
- Games are arranged ad hoc, but typically are at least fortnightly, usually more frequently.
- We have no venue, but have adopted a pub in Newcastle who are happy to host us and put up with our geekery! Games are played here and round peoples houses in general. |

Adding to that:
-We use STARS and QUILT to track our rosters and league table
-We allow Khorne on an experimental basis and have discussed the option of including other house-ruled experimental rosters |
