For years I have wanted to be able to run Blood Bowl leagues online with my friends in a nice friendly competition.  We have known each other for years and like Blood Bowl, but are not ultra-competitive Blood Bowl Trolls like those who frequent the forums.  Ergo, it is hard to fill the remaining slots with people we actually want to play the game with.  Finally they have added incredibly flexibility, not only in League play but also in Competitions.  Plus you can mix in AI teams to fill out any missing gaps.  This is pretty exciting.  The only thing I wish Focus Interactive would add is the ability to setup "House Rules" in the Leagues, so we can enable or disable various popular house rules in our competitions.  After all, we are playing this game for fun (i.e. the reason to play games) not because we are Blood Bowl Trolls who hate anything that is not a pure representation of the original board game.

The first competition ended with hijinks and hilarity for all.  Well and gruesome injuries, fatalities, and misery for pixel representations of many types of people.  Next round is coming up.
