Kia Ora everyone Sadly Welshy and Trickey were indisposed for this episode . But luckily Toffer has been joined by Underthemoutain (Friend of the Show) and SatedOne (new Friend of the Show) to chat about the recent Mainland Bowl in Christchurch. 28 coaches attended the final MLB to be organised by Underthemountain and it was a roaring and cake ridden success. We run through a few of the games we each played at the tournament and see who managed to fight their way to the top and who was a pest on the tabletop.

Well Kia Ora everyone. Great to have you here. Episode 56! We have two guests with us to look at what is happening in terms of online Blood Bowl play here in our little southern corner of the planet. Mike is here to tell us about our BB3 leagues and tournaments and Ramchop is back with us as our FUMBBL commissioner. We have two key leagues/tournaments for BB3, Cloudy Isles and the Jandal Cup. Meanwhile for FUMBBL we have the long running Deserted Isles Blood Bowl Leagues and OSBBL.

Chur people Hot on the heels of our ASC episode we managed to gather the troops and record again! We felt it important to hear from the other event that ran parallel alongside the ASC. The Greenstone Cup! The oldest BB Tournament in Oceania, The Greenstone cup is in its 21st year and took place at the same time, in the same building so think of this episode as a continuation of the previous one. Representing the cadre of clever Kiwis who put the event together we are joined by Auckland's most enthusiastic player Mahuika. And, representing the gamers themselves, we welcome back the amazing Arlo from the Hawkes Bay. Alongside Toffer and Welshy we get a good rundown of who did what and how it all turned out. Why did people run off to hide in the bar? What is Arlo's breakfast of champions? Why has James disowned his kids? All this will be answered in our other 50th episode! Bobsol's fantastic new AUS/NZ Blood Bowl webpage can be found here - https://www.bbanz.net/ Full details of the Greenstone Cup can be found on the Discord but please hold listener, we will get back to this tournament soon.

A meeting of all our Australsian provinces for a weekend of team based gaming with one team taking out the top spot. Running concurrently with the Greenstone Cup (which will be the subject of our 51st episode) a multitude of Aussies descended on Mission Bay to try and wrestle the silverware away from us and drag it back to the West Island. There were several outcomes but on key one was that the Powtearoa Studios have been invaded by Kangaroo Plushies, Cans of VB, Posters of 80s soap opera's and Down Underworld Denizens very own Babs! Babs has long been a Friend of the Show and he returns today as one of the members of the Queensland team who took part in the ASC. Toffer and Trickey are also joined by our own Claymore.

Kia Ora Powtearoa Listeners Thanks again for the 10,000 listens!! This episode Welshy and Toffer are joined by Lord_Vortigern and Muckboot because all four of us recently attended the inaugural Powtearoa Squad Spectacular at the fantastic Cashmere Club in Christchurch. Jesse did an amazing job getting this event together and 8 squads of 3 managed to attend including a squad of coaches from Aussie! Much fun was had by all and if you didn't attend this time, make sure you get in in the diary next time. We hear from Muckboot about what it is like as a new but vitally important part of the NZ Blood Bowl community. Then, we go through our games over the weekend. Who did what? Why is Puggy the best player in the game, Did Muckboot have fun? How come Welshy cant remember any of it?
