Did Pauly, Drew and Tim get the rules right on the old fouling rules?

They mentioned that under the old fouling rules if you had the eye on you, you were sent off if you rolled anything but a double (can't remember if this was for armour or injury). I don't remember using any such rules in LRB4 or LRB5. Was this rule from prior to then?

In LRB4 rules the fouler was caught and sent off on a 6+. If you had the eye on you (i.e. you were the last person to have fouled in that half) then you were caught on a 4+.

If you were caught then you can argue the call. On a 1 the coach is sent off and you can't argue the call any more. On a 2-5 the ref ignores the coach. On a 6 he overturns his decision and the player is not sent off.

The rules that Pauly, drew and I were discussing were the ones used in our old 3rd edition league. I think that they were the official rules back then but that league did have several house rules.

It was kicked out on double on the armor roll (this could be rerolled with pro or a team reroll) when the eye was not on you. Kicked out on anything other than a doubles when the eye was on you.

I had forgotten about the lrb 4 fouling rules that you mentioned. I think we were using lrb 4 for the first season or two of the critical hit cup.

Episode #92 recorded last night* where we welcomed Katie Muzik, 2013 GenCon champ to talk about her Dwarven triumph, welcoming new players to the game and something she calls 'fast Dwarves'. Drew and I then recap our GenCon adventures (three guys, two trophies, no clue) and look forward to Chaos Cup where we will once again be throttling Both Down in the 2nd Annual Chaos Cup Podcast Skullbash! (or some other rhyming name, to be decided)! Also, one of us wins our local Hawkeye League championship, another local league prepares for the playoffs and, while we both made the playoffs, neither of us pick ourselves to win because we're either dumb or honest or both. Finally, Cheering Fans where we review the newest BB podcast, answer fan mail, butcher foreign names, further ponder the 'ulfwerener conundrum', ask/beg for dice and contest miniatures and much, much more!

Well, maybe not 'much', that is a pretty full description.

*Due to the late time at which we recorded and the advanced age of both hosts, show will drop either tonight or tomorrow. Enjoy!

Great episode guys. I love Katie's rule change suggestion; I may try that out in a couple of exhibition games.

I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines, I think I'm going to hop on a plane and make it to Gencon next year.

I hope to see you there!

I loved her pass deflection rule as well and I think I was pretty clear about that...'clear' as in gushing over it!

[Olaf the Stout]

As much as her suggestion sound like wacky fun, I wouldn't introduce it simply because there isn't enough passing in Blood Bowl as it is. So anything to make passing less reliable would see even less passes attempted.

Quite enjoyed the new one. Don't agree with the wood elf coach who thought the rules had gone slightly too far away from bash. Perhaps he was talking from a tourny perspective, but long term in a league I have found that even keeping an agility team on the pitch can be a struggle.
Nice to hear the plug for Xander and Juriel's Orca Cola Cast (I'm biased as a coach and admin in the OCC ).
Keep up the good work guys

Good show guys! Nice interview with Katie Muzik!

Good show guys! Nice interview with Katie Muzik!

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it! She really made it easy by bringing all the awesome. I am very excited about the interview we have lined up for the next ep...

Also, I've got some dice for your Spiky dice at Chaos Cup!

@Ally-L - Thank you as well! Online leagues are something we do not get to talk about much so I'm glad OCC if taking care of it! I'm also happy to have another BB podcast to listen to!

[SunDevil]

One week delay for next ep - we have a great interview already recorded, we just need to do the rest. Then we will have our Chaos Cup recap and after that...CRITICAL BOWL XV!!!

Man, we gotta get to work!
