The beardiest thing i've done was playing completely drunk my last game at the RDV BB in France....and winning 3 or 4 to 0 leaving my disgusted opponent with 3 players on the pitch!
The guy never seemed to use his skills  like tackle when blitzing my gobbos and stuff. At first i told him but he was really grumpy. Before we even began he grinned at me looking at my roster thinking i'm going to beat the shit out of you! So i must say i didn't really bothered telling him what of his skills he should use after already telling him 3 times. |

In our league, you can't just transfer funds between teams like that, otherwise, I'm sure someone would be doing a lot of that by now. Instead, our coaches use the Player Fatalaty Bounties to dump their treasuries on one of their opponent's players, hoping to kill the poor slob and get their money back at the end. |

The most beardie I've ever done was making one of my throwers assist coach. Loaning my complete treasury to an other team So I had a rating differnce of exactly 99  . And to complete the scandal in the following match I'd killed 2 players and kicked one a -1 ? and one niggling.
Am I evil ?

In the ECBBL you can loan/give other players money - but it counts against both teams TR until repaid or the end of season. |

The reason I don't like that is because it means any freebooting is without penalty. If you save 50k to freeboot a wizard that adds 5 to your TR so you pay a penalty in terms of future money and handicap rolls.
A good example is what I have done with my current team. With about 4 games left it was clear I was going to make the play offs. So I started saving all my money for freebooting during the play offs. By the 1st game I was carrying 16 points of TR just in my treasury. That can make quite a big difference to the game. |

Good point - Of course the last time anyone freebooted in our league was er.... a LONG time ago
But we still allow bought star players.
However now that I've moved wizards from buyable to freeboot only I might reconsider for the reasons you have cited. |

| On the subject of 'lending' money I leant a chaos player money to buy a new greater daemon as I killed his last one and felt guilty! Does this make me beardy? |

nah, maybe just "overly charitable" 
beardy is when you exploit known loop holes or flaws in the game to your advantage. Like playing with Chaos Dwarves for example.

| You can't. You may only target an empty square with a TTM. Now if you are lucky you'll hit an opponent. |

For a while my league did not add treasury to team rating either. We simply added the value of any freebooters to the TR for working out the handicap. Rather obvious really.  |

Doubleskulls is right, you're not allowed. However, until we figured that out, we had one Gobbo team whose coach always managed to bean the guy on the other team with the ball. It was uncanny how he could peg runners left and right.
I'm glad we made him stop. |

| yeh, but if you cover the surrounding area with gobbos then they get knocked into the player right? Or is that just when the troll drops the gobbo? I just played a game 2nite and i tried this tactic against a vampire, but my goblin missed everyone and landed in the one empty square! I hadent expected him to land where I had first aimed! |

| Yeah, pretty much. As long as you aim for an empty square (and miss), then you can pack gobbos around your target to try to hit him better. No problem with that that I can see. |
