Phew! After years of trying, our Belgian team finally succeeded in what we’ve been waiting for: bringing Eurobowl to our little country. First off all I would like to give a big thanks to Dries, Mats, Tim, Jurgen, Philip, Christof, Karel and captain Bram – or should I say captain Blowjob – for their great …
I’d been working myself up for the EurOpen for weeks beforehand. Actually, probably months is more accurate.

Skill rings are, as the name suggests, rings that go on players’ bases to show what skills they have. I first came across them in about 2008, when people were using beer bottle tops under the bases of those players with skills. Since then there have emerged a plethora of options for marking skills, with …
“Under blue skies they started to arrive, first in drips and drabs then a steady trickle. Locals of Woodford Green, Essex, UK stocked up on spray tan and locked their doors as they knew the RIOTS were about to kick off their second Blood Bowl Championship!” The good people at Team Romford have put together …
