I just had a free-league game vs a Chaos Dwarf... and I will never complain about luck again.
Granted, in the end he just gave up, but not before he had 4 guys injured. 2 Broken ribs, one badly hurt, and one broken collar bone.
The 2nd tackle of the game had one of my Mummies (I was using Undead) hurt one of his Arm 9 dwarves. It rather went down-hill from there. Nobody was really winning, but 1/3rd of the way through the second half he was down to his Minotaur, 2 Centaurs and 1 Dwarf and 2 Hobgoblins. 4 Of his dwarves were out with injuries and the rest where KOed.
Obviously, this was a fairly good game for me... but I feel bad, bad luck from turn 1 and it persisted.

haha this si blood bowl .. not mather how you good you play sometime your the giver sometime your on the receiving end... happy birthday btw !

So I lost 1-0 to ZP, but I think I came out ok, having done 2 or 3 permanent injuries AND a kill (which Apothecary rerolled into a kill  )
He had some atrocious dice, but I still suck :x

yeah blood bowl isn't a game, it's just a method to expose yourself to rage in a controlled environment. It was designed in a lab for that purpose, I have it on high authority.

Haha, you may have lost, but you slightly fucked up his chances for the rest of the tournament...so there's a plus!

If all I'm doing is losing, while giving my group the worst possible chance once they hit the other group, I'm not sure how much winner I'll be, but I'm sure everyone will want me around next time in case they end up in the opposite group right?

Copy and pasting from another forum which has a league I participate in (with a few small edits). Talking about BB manager which is a fantastic program for figuring out what happened in a game, and how lucky/unlucky certain things were:
BB Manager *ENTIRELY OPTIONAL*
So there's a program out there called BB Manager which is basically a log parser for blood bowl games. It has far more detailed stat tracking than the interface in game. All you need to do is download it, login with your coach name, and upload your matches to it. I have the league already set up for it, so you can find them easily and add your matches to it if you so desire.
I assume no responsibility for any damage caused by said program. Large leagues use it, I assume it's safe, but your mileage may vary.
Download link
http://94.23.239.117/BloodBowlManager.ClickOnce/publish.htm
Once you install it, create an account (the email address field is only there for an easy password reset), use your same coach name as in game, USE A DIFFERENT PASSWORD, and connect.
Once into the program, you can click on Leagues, filter by "in progress leagues" and it will bring up a list. You can sort and find ours. Ours are the newest ones, so they have the highest ID numbers currently. Liquibowl is the name there (as it is in game).
To upload -
If you have BB manager running, and YOU HAVE JUST FINISHED THE GAME YOU WISH TO UPLOAD, a notification window should pop up on your taskbar which when clicked should take you to the correct dialog. It should show team names for the match you have just finished, simply fill in the fields with Coach names (until they all get populated, then you can select from the drop down box) and select which match day it was (we are on 2 right now), and then the password for all our leagues is -
TL edit: mannerup is the password for liquibowl.
I uploaded the two games I've had so far. It's pretty useful data if anyone is at all interested

Looking through my a bunch of past games, it seems like games have the biggest chance of getting out of hand/turning badly when there's a 20+ point swing in either the D6 or 2D6 rolls.
Disproportionately bad luck on D6 rolls (dodging, passing, pick ups, etc) ends up with one team getting way more blocks in (2D6) than the other. As a result, KO/injury risk goes up, and it can snowball quickly. Dodge rolls in particular are really brutal for an agi team to fail. Anything much more than a 10% variation downward almost always ends in an agi team loss from the small bit of data I've been sifting through (unless the other team has a similar degree of bad luck).

just finished the game vs ZP. endet up in a close 1-1 with a quite messy second half.
he had a lot of ko/bh players (and one dead), but i canceled it out with a stupid missclick (fleshgolems cant really dodge :D)

My injury luck in this league so far summed up in one picture.

Jesus christ. This is why BB is the taker of souls. Stuff that you don't deserve happens ALL the time. I swear I almost feel like I should avoid re rolling 1's on go for it because they fail SO OFTEN. Like a 5/6 chance of failing even though it's supposed to be 1/6. There's no refuge to be found other than playing more games and being the lucky one yourself. What's worse is that when you are really lucky and win you can't really get any sense of accomplishment. You just got lucky. So it's lose lose haha!!!!

By the way, the BB Manager program also serves as a replay storage area. The game between me/snotling, as well as any other games people put up there can be downloaded via the replay button and watched via single player. It's pretty useful

Wait ZP... You Apothecary'd a death in our game and still got Death.... did it just happen again? o.0
