Blood Bowl XVIII

Blood Bowl XVIII was a Championship Blood Bowl game between the Auld World Football Conference (AFC) champion The Gouged Eye and the New World Football Conference (NFC) champion Skavenblight Scramblers to decide the Blood Bowl (BB) champion for the '77/'78 season in 2478. The Scramblers defeated the Gouged Eye, 3-2, in what would be a consecutive win of the Blood Bowl Championship after the Scramblers won the previous year, Blood Bowl XVII against the Middenheim Marauders.

Game Summary
There was some controversy over the Scramblers' win, with the Gouged Eye and others calling for a NAF commission to investigate possible manipulation of the stadium and pitch. The commission ruled out the possibility that the Scramblers had spent all year st the stadium, rigging it for the game, while a team of substitutes set about qualifying, even after it was shown the pitch had a pronounced slope towards the Gouged Eye's end zone as well as a number of bottomless shafts.
