The OCC is waiting for Warhammer Blood Bowl

[Borke]

If you are a regular coach of the OCC, you might already have wondered:

 

Divisions when?

New season when?

 

Well, the OCC is currently on a little break. Warhammer Blood Bowl is going to come "this spring" (as announced e.g. on Steam), and between now and then, we don't think we'd have time for a complete season. Likewise, ending a season prematurely is not something we wanted to do.

 

And therefore, because we want to start into a new season right away, as soon as Warhammer Blood Bowl launches, we are taking this time off, preparing, plotting, and prodding the clock for time to move faster.

 

So, what can you expect when Warhammer Blood Bowl drops?

 

1) The OCC will be back, baby!!

2) We will start into the new ruleset fresh, only new teams allowed.

3) We will start with a "Seeding tournament" which will probably consist of two stages: Stage 1 being played in smaller groups and then stage 2 being played in bigger groups. The results of stage 2 will determine where your team starts in the first season.

4) The "New OCC", which starts with that first season, will basically work like the OCC you know now - except with the new Blood Bowl rules and redraft.

5) We will also try to make the "New OCC" "wider" again, i.e. having more divisions per tier. In order to achieve this, we will try to recruit more coaches to the OCC when the time comes.

 

More information will follow at a later time. In particular the details of the redraft as well as any other important changes will be explained at the appropriate time.

 

If you want to discuss this announcement, head over to The Locker Room to the appropriate topic.
