Blood Bowl 7s Pitch

My friends and I started with Blood Bowl when it was re-released but our little 'league' petered out pretty quickly since the games too way too long once you factored in learning new rules, and socializing. I saw someone post rules for Blood Bowl 7s and quickly saw how much better they were. I've played a few games in the last couple months under that rule set and I can say that for us, it is a vastly superior game. Less turns, less players, less spaces on the board, ultimately means the game takes 1/2 as long for us. Sure there may be less 'depth' since you can't develop long term plays, but each game I've played ranked in the most fun we've had playing the game. Because of this, I wanted a proper pitch (instead of just saying "don't use those squares" on my other board). I had this printed up by a fabric printing company on some thick neoprene and the detail looks great (image for the pitch is free online and about 4000 pixels so it scaled well). Anyway, here's some photos of the board with my teams on it. If you haven't yet, check out the simple rules for Blood Bowl 7s, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

    Is this printing company UK based? I was thinking of buying a 7's pitch to help corrupt the grandchildren into the beautiful game.

      It was https://www.bagsoflove.ca BUT they have a UK address as well https://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/ and I'm pretty sure my product shipped from the UK to Canada despite ordering from a .ca website. It was the best price I could find, and the only issue I have with it is the neoprene isn't rubber backed, but that doesn't matter if you're not playing on a ship in a storm lol.

      Do you have an order number? They would like one to use the same file.

      You should also know, that it comes with a white border that I cut off (you can see my poor cut job in the first photo along the edge). I guess that's the bleed space?

    Where would I find the rules for Blood Bowls 7's? Might be easier to get back into the game this way!

      I was using these, and then completely ignoring the kickoff table and just using the default stuff I was familiar with.
