Leiden Blood Bowl League - Annual Championship schedule
The image above shows the annual Leiden Blood Bowl League championship schedule. The championship starts in February and consists of four cups. Each cup, coaches play two match days, each consisting of two rounds (matches). Thus, a cup covers four matches in total. Coaches can choose to play in one or more cups but the LBBL reccomends playing a full season of four cups. A different team/race can be chosen for each cup, however, it is preferred and recommended to play one entire championship with the same team. In November, December and January (of the following year), the championship concludes with play-offs and the Frozen Keys Bowl (Championship game). Every coach who has played (and finished) at least one of the four cups secures a place in the play offs (further rules apply, please see the LBBL Season Regulations). Places are assigned based on the coach rank, built up by the total of the cups. Season III will start on the 18th of February 2024. For all of the match dates, please check this page down below.
