The MEGA League (Mighty Eternal Grudge Alliance) is Mighty Melee's ongoing, evolving Blood Bowl league. It’s designed for long-term play, team development, and rich rivalries — all at a relaxed pace. One match per month. No hard resets. No pressure. Just the joy of league play, forever.

League Format

  • Matches: One league match per calendar month
  • Platform: Managed via Tourplay using the Challenges system
  • Scheduling: Coaches arrange matches themselves based on availability
  • Participation: Drop in, pause, or return at any time
  • Fee: £2.50/month while actively participating

Team Creation Rules

  • All official GW teams allowed
  • 1,000,000 gold starting budget
  • No star players at creation
  • Gold can be spent on rerolls, staff, apothecaries, and fan factor as per standard rules
  • No homebrew or custom teams (for now)

Match Rules

  • Blood Bowl 2020 ruleset in use (including all errata)
  • All matches must be recorded on Tourplay
  • If a match isn't played by month-end, it's scored 0–0 unless otherwise agreed
  • You may not play the same coach more than twice within a reset cycle
  • 'Farming' easier matchups is discouraged and may be addressed if it undermines league balance

Soft Rebalancing

To keep the MEGA League healthy and competitive, we will periodically apply soft resets (every 4 months or after 6 games per team).

Soft Reset #1 Cap: 1.3 million gold
Teams will be asked to rebuild to this cap. Treasury will be capped at 100k. Existing players may be retained if they fit under the limit. We may tighten to 1.2 million gold in the second cycle.

Other rebalancing tools may include:

  • New player bonuses (e.g. +50k gold or free MVP)
  • Veteran perks (e.g. one player retains a skill or +1 Dedicated Fan)
  • Tiered cups and brackets to group similar-TV teams

Team Pausing & Returning

  • Teams can be paused at any time
  • Paused teams retain all stats and records
  • Returning teams may be reviewed for rebalancing if there is significant TV disparity

Cup Events

We will run occasional optional cups to complement league play:

  • Rookie-only knockouts
  • High-TV invitationals
  • Narrative or themed cups (e.g. The Grudge Bowl)

Cup results won't affect league standings but may include prizes or fluff titles.

Spirit of Play

The MEGA League is run in line with the MMG Spirit of Play. Good sportsmanship, fair play, and fun-first gaming are essential. If something’s not working, we’ll talk it out and fix it together.

This charter is a living document and will evolve as the league grows. Suggestions, feedback, and memes are always welcome.
