Stormwind Knights
Ironforge Warriors
Darnassus Sentinels
Exodar Diamonds
Sunstrider Nobles
Ancient Woodmen
Pandaria Brewmasters
Woodpaw Outrunners
Every year, Stormwind City holds the largest football festival in the southern part of
Eastern Kingdoms. There is celebration and the Stormwind Knights' draft at the same time.
The Knights is one of the oldest football team in Azeroth. The team emphasizes on its kick
and the defense of the kick game. Stormwind Knights is considered to have the best kicker
and to be the strongest kick game defense ever.
Behind the great gates of Ironforge, these dedicated and disciplined dwarves comply
strictly to the team's schedules and rules. Four days a week, it is the hardcore practicing
outside in the thick snow of Dun Morogh; it is said that the players have became so
accustomed to the difficulty that these players can move twice as fast without the snow.
And the other three days of the week, they drink.
Named after the army of the elite guardians of the night elves, the Sentinels' founders
were children of the Sentinel Army themselves. Mocked by other teams as the hippie of
football; the Sentinels focuses on offense, with passing being the major component, to
avoid direct contact with the opponent. The team describes that football is love not war,
the Sentinels nonetheless has a fearsome reputation in their offense plays.
Inspired by the crystals around the city of Exodar, the draeneis named their team Diamonds.
And inspired by the team's name, the draeneis focus on their stringent defense to match the
characteristic of the unbreakable gem. Though, it was not a bad approach since the Diamonds
have benefited from this intense focus only on the defense. Today, the Exodar Diamonds is
named the toughest defensive team in the league.
The Sunstrider Nobles is the united high elves team. They named the team to honor the
House of Sunstrider, the traditional royal family of the high elves. Due to the lack of
racial capital, the team is based in Theramore Isle (as Stormwind already has a local team,
and for marketing reason). The Nobles is a balance team with the Runningback as
the team's ace player. Rumor has it, he can disappear in a split second.
The Ancients play football too, but only the faster ones are recruited into the team.
The team is based in Astranaar, Ashenvale, for the same marketing reason with the
Sunstrider Nobles. Unlike most teams, these demigod-like trees don't train so hard and
they don't take proteins either, all they do is meditate, slow-talking, and photosynthesis.
The Woodmen is a pass-based team with a super long pass that could score a touch down in one play.
The Pandaren of the Tushui and the Huojin agreed to join force in the football game. This
Pandaren team is a joint-venture between the two ways of the force and it represents the
whole Pandaria. The Brewmasters used to get drunk before entering the stadium, but now with
drinking banned and legal limit is set at 0.05 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) they stopped.
The pandas invent a new way of football, which utilize trick plays and their martial arts.
The Woodpaw Outrunners is among the youngest football teams in Azeroth. As food became more
expensive in Feralas area, these team of courageous gnolls came together for the league,
aiming to bring glory and mostly money and food back to their tribe for their puppies and
bitches in Woodpaw Den. The Outrunners uses their advantages in beast-like speed and senses
in this bloody sport game.

Orgrimmar Axes
DarkSpear's Shadows
Thunderbluff Mights
Forsaken Reapers
Fel Orc Ravagers
Zul'Aman Voodoos
Stonemaul Titans
Underground Scavengers
The orcs of the city of Orgrimmar is the biggest fans of football in the whole Azeroth,
that answers why the Orgrimmar team is so dedicated to the sport. The orcs even tried to
put Football Player as a class along with other traditional classes like Warrior, Shaman,
and Rogue. Using their strength, the Greenskins are expert in lead blocking; opening the
running path for their runner.
The Darkspear's Shadows is a long time rival of the Zul'Aman Voodoos. Both teams compete
for the title of the strongest troll football team of all, funny enough, there are only the two
of them. It used to be that the forest troll is jealous of the jungle troll for having
a better life quality, but the forest troll had shown that they are better than the jungle troll
in football, which pissed the Darkspear tribe off. The Shadows is a balance team.
Thunderbluff Mights is the only football team of the entire tauren race. Every season,
each tribe sends their elites to the capital for the draft. Over three strong calves
join the draft every year. The taurens clearly don't give so much dungs about the sport.
However the taurens are wise and creative enough to use their physical superiority as their
advantage; throwing eachother and ramming into the opponents.
The Forsaken Reapers is a football team from Undercity. The team was among the best
team in Azeroth before the league reformation. Due to the new rule against magic usage
in the game, the undead was forced to turn to trickery and bluffing. Fortunately, the
tricks work as fine as the magic, thanks to the mastermind behind the team's cunning plans, the
trickster Quarterback.
Though coming from Outland, the Fel orc of Hellfire Citadel takes part in the football
league of Azeroth (because there is no football league in Outland, in fact there is hardly
any competitor in Outland). Like their cousin, the Orcs, fel orcs appreciate football. The
Ravagers have became the heroes of the fel orcs almost as much as Grom Hellscream ever was.
Using the same tactic, the fel orcs' lead blocking is as strong as of the Orgrimmar Axes'.
Deep in the woods, the forest trolls play a very similar sport called Forest Troll Football,
which is more like the Death Match in the Azeroth offical leagues. Having practiced the
Forest Troll Football in advance, the Voodoos implements the skills and tactics onto the
standard football game. The Voodoos is an all-around team with a signature trick play that
the Darkspear's Shadows has been trying to imitate.
Influenced by the first world races of the Horde like the orcs and the trolls, football
has becoming more and more popular among the ogres. Stonemaul Titans is the only official
ogre football team in Azeroth. Despite their dull and silly brain's muscles, the ogres
use their muscles to muscle with its opponent's muscle to achieve victory. And when all fails,
their dull and silly brain's muscles give them strength in rage.
These little poor bastards had hid underground from the fear of the upper world and light.
Along came a kobold who was happened to scavenge right under a football field one day.
He saw the game, and when the game ended, he shouted, "Grrr Grrr Gaarr Grr!", which
translated roughly, "Kobold plays football too!", thus the beginning of the Underground
Scavengers. The kobolds is the master of team play and they benefit from their sizes (or not?).
POSITIONS
Each team consists of 9 players (with 6 playable and 3 bots).
Quarterback (QB) <Player 1 & 7> : Control the team formation. The first to play the ball. In charge of passing.

Orcnet: fatal error, uh kinda need you to check it out.
Hell_Master Map approved with a rating of 3/5 based on SCN's review here:
StoPCampinGn00b: Though I'm not proud of my year old review, I've updated the moderator...
Gameplay: Fel Orc Ravagers vs Ironforge Warriors: Ravagers 18-12! I played against my brother and I was glad there was AI. Without it, I don't think I would have reviewed the map. It's hard to get into it, at first I just didn't want to play for more than 5 minutes. I got used to it and the game was enjoyable. The thing that bothered me while playing was that the camera was to low. It's hard to see where all of your players are, I don't want to stay still while throwing a deep pass. Also, how the hell do you kick a field goal? The game is creative and a successful attempt at implementing an American Football game in Warcraft, even though W.A.L.K already did it. The fun factor is there, and the game is balanced unless some of the teams have better stats then others. Using the special moves are hard, but keep em.
Terrain: Change the tiles order to make the white marble over the grass. There isn't much to say since it's just a shaven field, but you should also change the endzone to maybe grass trim for it to stand out better instead of it blending into the dark grass. Add some space between the football field and the black boundary, most maps should have a natural or man made border between them. I gave you 7/10 because this kind of map doesn't need nice looking terrain, but you can do better.
Scenery: This guy is just dragging your score down. It doesn't look or feel like a football game, it looks boring. I have a suggestion take out the black boundaries and the trees and replace it with an arena. Just use the city scape manmade cliffs with some chairs and villagers around and it will look cool. Make it seem like gladiator maps, it doesn't have to be fancy. Adding some NFL or sports music would make the game fantastic.
Consistency: I didn't see any bugs or fatal errors. Everything seems to work snap by snap.
Presentation: Nice customized description. It attracts attention and is organized to help people understand the map better. Credits listed.
Miscellaneous Suggestions: -Change countdown "Hut Hut Hut", it's just weird. -Consider moving the 2pt conversion a little closer -Take out the two "super safety's" in the endzone. They don't have the in football and it ruins your taste when you are about to run a long way for the touchdown -Make the yard markers shorter in length -I doubt you'll change this, but the map in proportion looks more like a CFL (Canadian Football is a lot longer) field than a standard NFL field. Making it shorter won't make a big difference
StoPCampinGn00b: Though I'm not proud of my year old review, I've updated the moderator rating to what I feel it deserves. This may be the best American football map out there.
This is the full review of a previous version that the moderator used. This gives an overview of what the map is about and what the creator should improve on. Many of these errors have been fixed. Version 0.59c is below on a separate post.
Azeroth Bowl v0.55c

-Reserved-
I'm a huge fan of American Football, so I'm going to review this tommorow. There aren't TOO many Americans on this site, so I'll give it my best shot.
-Reserved-
Edit: Ahh the definition tab in your description. Educating the hand-egg people how to play. GL on your map, I don't know why I'm so exited.
New Scores Gameplay: 18/20 Terrain: 10/10 Scenery: 10/10 Consistency: 5/5 Presentation: 5/5 Total Score: 48/50
To the creator Wow, you went over the top with your updates. All major problems have been fixed, and the scenery of the map is just awesome. While implementing the new terrain textures, you made this map seem like you aren't playing Warcraft. Especially when your playing on the offensive cam which resembles Madden way too much. The gameplay is refreshed when adding more options to your strategy in moving up the field, causing the fun factor for this game to soar. A+ for effort and improvement.
To the players This map is what a Warcraft 3 player who loves American Football has to play. It may be complicated at first and doesn't play out as smoothly as other maps and games, but this one works really well in Warcraft if you memorize the keys. The AI is tough to beat, and it's almost as fun when your playing with other players. If you've downloaded a previous version, download the newest. It looks more like a football field than ever. Please see the review above for the previous version if you want to know more about the map.
Changed from 3 to 5 stars, easily the best American Football map out there.
