So if a player can get a skill they can't normally get, can I take a mutation?

If your question is only in the context of this draft, players must have Primary or Secondary access to the skill you select (Rule 2.1 above). 

To show off the new early-pick process, here is my list: 

P4 Leader, #2 Stump Fitzhollow, +40K 
P2 On the Ball, #2 Stump Fitzhollow, +40K 
G2 Sure Hands, #4 Big Sweaty Tiny, +40K
G5 Sure Hands, #4 Big Sweaty Tiny, +40K
G3 Dauntless, #4 Big Sweaty Tiny, +40K
G1 Kick, #9 Stormy Perennials, +40K 

Fantabulous. @Burkis up. 

Leader has got to be the best skill to get in Sevens, eh?

Next up is @Maxwell Christian and based on work schedules, that probably means other coaches should go ahead and start posting.

Does your team need to be able to field an apothecary to get the free apothecary?

 

(is it a mortician’s assistant for teams with… sylvania’s legacy or whatever it’s called)

Great catch, thanks. Updated with: If the team cannot take an Apothecary, they may take a Mortuary Assistant instead. 

Thanks to all the coaches we've had a ton of awesome Blood Bowl action and carnage so far! Great job getting games in and using all this new-fangled technology to track the results. Below are the standings as of today (though it does look like there is one match result missing, based on the total games count).

We have two weeks left in the season and one more official League Night. The next theme for League Night is: 

⭐ ALL YOU CAN EAT NIGHT ⭐ 
The grills are fired up and laden with patties of ground… something, and nothing attracts wizards like a buffet! Each team gets a free Wizard inducement for each game. This may be a standard Wizard or any of the special Wizards that are available based on the team’s Regional Special Rules (DZ page 22). Additionally, if the coach brings a painted Apothecary model, the team gets a free Apothecary to use for each game! If the team cannot take an Apothecary, they may take a Mortuary Assistant instead. 

⭐ LEAGUE STANDINGS ⭐ 

Note that Step 4 has been updated. Please read carefully so you can post your selection(s) out of order and receive the highest selection you want when it's your turn in the draft order. Congrats to @Amado with the first pick in the draft! 

Following each League Night is a Skills Draft with the order based on League Points (LPs) earned during League Night.

Are we posting results here?  Or using the google form?  Or both?

The Google Form. Sorry, I should have been clear about that. Also, I forgot to add a League Night 2 option to the Date field. Pretty much going off the rails as a league commish! 

Having said that, you coaches did a great job posting results from last night despite my buffoonery, so I will have the Skills Draft post up soon. 

Don't forget to post results tonight for the rankings of the next skills draft. Check online tomorrow for new draft procedures to make it easier. 

⭐ NEXT LEAGUE NIGHT ⭐

Our next official League Night is Tuesday, July 6 at the Ordo clubhouse. The theme is listed below so you can get started on painting your mascot model. 

Mascot Night - The stitching is fresh and the outfits are zany, ready for their debut in front of the crowd. Each team gets a free Mascot Inducement (DZ page 39) for each game. Additionally, if the coach brings a painted Mascot model, the team gets two (2) Mascots for each game! 

While tomorrow night is not an official League Night, the open schedule means you can play as many games as you want. Come down to WOW and enjoy the swelter in the melter! 

Here are the results of the draft: 
 

Selections so far: 

kb10r - P4 Leader
Burk - G4 Sure Hands
savion47 - S2 Mighty Blow (+1) 
ninefinger - P5 On the Ball 
jollyork - A4 Sure Feet 
scotthartman - S5 mighty blow
Amado - A3 Diving Tackle
sbr - G5, Wrestle
Maxwell Christian - none
Weav - P3, Dump-off
Rogre - none

Please be sure to update your team rosters and Team Values for your next match. Remember the schedule to completely open, you can play any other team at any time! 

Obviously the online draft format is turning into a bit of a debacle with timing, so for the next one. will alter the way it works and publish new guidelines for selections. Feedback welcome.

@Weav and @ROGRE you can make your picks 

@Maxwell Christian you're up! 

@sbris up

Still waiting on @scotthartman!

Amado 
sbr 
Maxwell Christian
Weav
Rogre

Looks like this draft isn't going to finish today, so we'll extend it through tomorrow. 

@ninefingerup

@savion47you are up

I'd like to mask my clumsiness with cleverness, but alas, I merely pasted the complete random table instead of cropping out the Traits column. There *may* be a special event in the future for such wonderful options as selecting No Hands or Really Stupid for your players, but not today. 

@Burk is up!

@kb10r you have the first pick in this draft. 

Thanks for a great turnout last night! Eight coaches threw down for a total of 7 games (ha!) with lots of thrills and classic BB moments (scotthartman's dwarfs rolling a 1 on a goal line Rush on BOTH turn 6 and turn 12!). The results from that night are now posted in the new Skills Draft thread, along with the draft order. 

⭐ ROSTER UDPATES ⭐
Remember, you have to manually update your roster with changes to players (eg, deaths!), new skills, new money, and new Team Value (and CTV). Be sure to get that done prior to your next match - which can be at any time since we have an open schedule. 

⭐ RULES UPDATES ⭐
Some rules clarifications that came up during games. (these will also be added to the League Rules post) 

TOUCHBACKS
The Sevens rules are unclear about what counts as a Touchback. For our league, any kick-off that lands on the pitch and not behind the kicking coach's Line of Scrimmage is a fair kick, any other result is a Touchback. 

POST-GAME SEQUENCE
The Sevens rules describe the sequence for Player Advancement and The Draft correctly, but are listed in the rules in the wrong order, which is confusing. During the Post-Game, coaches roll for The Draft first, then conduct Player Advancement rolls, so that a player who earns a new skill is NOT eligible for the The Draft until after their next game.
