The KUBBL presents the fourth version of the Dog Bowl on March 19th at the Marmalade Dog convention in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The tournament has grown over the years to be the showcase for the "Underdog" races of Blood Bowl. The last two editions have been won by the mutated powers of the Frozen Flames, a powerful chaos pact team coached by the host of the Siggy Llama Show.
The Dog Bowl was born out the remnants of the Special "K" Cup. A twice held tournament where the coaches of the KUBBL were playing with ideas to create a tournament series with its own flavor. Those tournaments along with the first Dog Bowl all had different rule sets but they still saw the same races winning. A significant change was made beginning with Dog Bowl II. The tournament organizer felt that the tournament needed to set itself apart from other Blood Bowl events and the best way to try and do that was to "stack the deck" in the favor of those... less talented teams.
Here is an updated look back on the past tournaments to get some statics and records for Kalamazoo Ultimate Blood Bowl League tournaments.

Weather decided by top table - 7 on the kick-off table becomes:
Marmalade Dog - The Marmalade Dog runs onto the pitch. Each coach rolls a d6 plus fame, the team with the highest score calls the Marmalade Dog to attack the opponents, roll a d6 for EACH player on the opposing team. On a 6, that player falls. Roll on the player’s armor with the Claw modifier. If the armor breaks roll on the injury table. These casualties count! If a 1 is rolled for any player, the dog is distracted by a Big Moot Sandwich in the crowd and ends the event. On a 2, 3, 4, and 5 nothing happens
Apothecaries work as in the rulebook states (roll the d6 to see what kind of casualty it is. Reroll to see the second casualty type.) Apothecaries cannot be used on Star Players
Tournament will be a resurrection style tournament. So any injuries your team suffers will not
carry over to the next game, and any SPPs earned will also be erased.
