NAF Database Work

The NAF Database contains the results of around 200,000 games of Blood Bowl over since 2003.

This is a quick summary of how the results of those games are used.

Coach Page

Every NAF Member has a coach page, with the following elements:

  • a summary of their BB record – number of games and success in total and per race.
  • a link to the Grid, which is the record of how they have done with each race against every other race.
  • a list of any tournament awards.

Variant games are separate from the main Blood Bowl rankings, and you can use the dropdown box to view the results of these.

The Ranking for each race is a result of the WDL ratio – if you beat a player with a high ranking you gain lots of points, if you beat a player with a ranking you gain a few points, and the reverse for losing to players. It is calculated with a formula based on the probability of winning.

There may be a delay of a couple of days in showing your ranking on the Coach Page – just be patient!

The Rankings

The Ranking points shown on the Coach Page are collected into a leaderboard,  This can be filtered by Race and Nation, and the leaderboards for different variants can also be chosen.

FAQ
