Talk Fantasy Football

The whole situation is a mess. I lost my sympathy to James Porkshop, due to several circumstances. But that's off-topic and would be censored anyway...

My BB-buddies and me want to start a new league with a new ruleset. We like the BB Competition Ruleset and want to use hundred percent of it
+ 3 teams
+ Page 5 of LRB5 which defines that the range ruler is now measured by squares and not the player's base. This one is a "big deal" in my opinion so make sure you print out Page 5 from the LRB 5.0 and add it to the Competition Rules Pack.
+ The extra benefits for winning the 4 Majors are not in the document either. The mutations from the Chaos Cup (that explain Icepelt and Eldril's stats for example), the wizard for the Dungeonbowl, etc. If you liked these rules, print out these pages from LRB 5.0 as well (as they did not change for LRB 6.0). You need pages 32 and 33 to include these rules [copy+pasted from this thread
+ the usual artwork, background

As we are only 12 players in our league and are not very talented in designing pdf-documents, we can't do this project on our own in the next few months.

I know, here are several talented coaches, and i guess that some of those have already created a document with BBCRuleset, images and teams.

I hereby seek help of other league-coaches, who can support my tiny league (the NFBBL) with a little pdf-document.

Help is appreciated, thanks in advance,

edit: 4 majors, range ruler

Page 5 of LRB5 which defines that the range ruler is now measured by squares and not the player's base. This one is a "big deal" in my opinion so make sure you print out Page 5 from the LRB 5.0 and add it to the Competition Rules Pack.

you do not need to add page 5 from LRB 5/6 as all the info you need is on page 12 of CRaP (pg 8 of the pdf)

and page 5 of lrb 5/6 is no "big deal" unless you want the description of the game box contents

as far as making a cute pdf is this for ease of print?
if printing just print the separate files and bind them together like we do
and if you want a "here you go" of the rules electronically just make 3 links
as far as making one PDF the CRaP is a locked file so you cannot simply copy and paste the docs on one file

Incorrect. Without page 5 of the LRB, the "official" rules of the game would be to measure passing and interceptions based on player's bases not the squares they are in. This was quite simply just a major screw up by JJ to not include page 5 in the CRP even when the BBRC told him it was important.

Most folks understand that this was not a rules change for how it should be done and still use the rules on page 5 of the LRB 5.0.

There's free websites that will unlock a secured pdf.


And if anyone wants to help howlett, do so off board - remember, posting links to any version except the official GW one will lead to warnings and bans - we don't want to give any ammo to Grandma's lawyers.

I do't get you the wording is virtually the same

pg 5 LRB:
When you are instructed to
measure the range, place the ‘0’ at one end over the centre of
the square of the player throwing the ball and the red line that
runs up the middle of the ruler over the centre of the square of
the player the ball is being thrown to. If the line between two
passing ranges crosses any part of the receiving player’s square,
then you should use the higher range.

pg 12 (8)CRaP:
Next, the coach must measure the range using the range ruler, by placing the O at on [typo in CRaP] end over the centre [another typo] of the square of the player throwing the ball, and the red line that runs up the centre [another typo] of the ruler over the centre [another typo] of the square the ball is being thrown to. If the line between two passing ranges crosses any part of the receiving player's square, the higher range should be used.

sounds the same to me, the example uses the same rules (and the same example)

Interception talks about squares (not bases)
pg 22 CRaP
Interceptions
One player on the opposing team may attempt to intercept a
thrown ball. To be able to make an interception, the player must:
• have the plastic ruler pass over at least part of the square the
intercepting player is standing in, and …
• have a tackle zone, and …
• be closer to the thrower than the thrower is to the target
player/square of the pass, and …
• be closer to the target player/square of the pass than the
thrower is to the target player/square of the pass.

I do not see your point

That's not a typo, that's proper English - it's not our fault you Americans spell things differently.

at least we pronounce our H's

daloonieshaman ... you are correct that the problem isn't quite what I had seen ... unfortunately JJ's edit job wasn't full. I see now what JJ did. After I screamed about him deleting the material on page 5 on his first draft of the CRP, he rewrote page 12 to bring in the text for page 5. Too bad he didn't change page 22 to say to reference page 12 instead of 5 after he did that.

Okay at least he put in the correct rules for measuring distance somewhere in the rulebook ... so if you are printing a full LRB 6 .. just make sure to change page 22 to say to read page 12 instead of 5.
