The National Grifball Association (NGA) at Grifball.net is a newer, competitive Grifball league dedicated to providing a chance for everybody to participate, having few but clearly defined rules, bringing other Halo communities into the world of Grifball, and trying some new approaches and unique events so that a fun time can be had by all.

Thanks to all who competed in our ScoreFest last weekend, and congratulations to Do the Sandusky Shuffle, captained by NGA Admin Rage More Nerd and his teammates NOPLEX and Priest XYZ, our winners for the tournament!

All in all, we had a mostly positive reaction to this exciting new gametype, and as always, we are open to suggestions on how to make ScoreFest 2 even better. We had some impressive stats in this tournament, including a total of 420 bomb plants (amounting to 700 explosion deaths) and almost 7,000 kills recorded in over 34+ total hours of gameplay. There were 15 teams, 58 players, and 25 games played in the double elimination bracket, with 3 games needing an additional tie-breaker round.

All players should check out their new participation award over at grifball.net as well as Halo Unity, and we hope to see you all at our next event, NGA GrifPile on Thursday, August 2nd at 9pm Eastern (signups open a day earlier).

ATTENTION MODERATORS. My latest ban (14-day ban from Qbix89) is not legitimate, take a look for yourself. Please review this before considering me a "repeat offender". Thank you.

We will be holding an event a lot like what you describe in a few weeks actually - the Stat Padding Derby.

  • 07.29.2012 4:31 PM PDT

The National Grifball Association at Grifball.net invites you to our next BOMB - NGA GrifPile - this Thursday, August 2nd at 9pm Eastern time. Signups will open one day earlier, and close one hour before game time at 8pm.

GrifPile, created by Grifballer Dirtie Birdie, is basically four teams of two in a Battle Royale over flags, using Grifball weapons and settings plus Evade, with a little bit of a Tower Defense twist. Inspired by wanting to make a multi-team Grifball variant, DirtieBirdie decided it'd be a lot more fun to figure out a way to enable the teams to form a fragile alliance with one another, which GrifPile makes happen since when one team is carrying the flag, the game is essentially 3 teams against 1.

As always in the NGA, all players are welcome, regardless of their skill level, history in other leagues, or matchmaking behavior. Be sure to bring a friend though, you must have two players to sign up for this event, and maximum roster size is 4 players.

The Map and Game Type will be posted on Grifball.net when signups open. Hope to see you there!

Congratulations to the winners of last night's NGA GrifPile BOMB - ICECARDZ and S1lentNdeadly1! For winning, they each received a code for 1600 Microsoft Points - great job guys!

Everybody seemed to have a great time - in fact reaction was so positive we'll be sure to hold another GrifPile event sometime in the near future. We also received a number of suggestions for how to improve the gametype - if anybody else has feedback let us know.

Thank you all for your participation, we hope you all had fun! Our next event will be another BOMB - NGA's Battle of the Regions on Saturday, August 11th. Registration for our second season will also be opening in the next few weeks. And finally, keep checking Grifball.net for the latest NGA news as our first season comes to a close.

***Due to the unique setup of this tournament, signups will close 3 hours before the event at 6:00PM Eastern on 8/11

When's the last time you talked to a hardcore Grifballer without the word 'connection' coming up? From host hammering to teleportation, no one can deny that connection factors into the game we all love - especially after a night of a dozen or more host checks in preparation for a league match.

That being said, the National Grifball Association at Grifball.net is holding a round-robin style Vanilla BOMB this Saturday the 11th, but this time we're going to do things a little differently. First, instead of registering your favorite group of players to form a team, every player will sign up individually on Grifball.net. You'll be asked to provide a few details about yourself - the state you play from, the position you prefer to play, and whether or not you've got the fortitude to take on captain duties.

With this information, we will create teams of four to eight players who are geographically close to each other. Then we'll break into three groups - East Coast, Central, and West Coast - and battle it out among the different teams for regional supremacy. The winners from each group will then advance to face the other winning teams, showing once and for all who has the biggest and best fiber line running to their 360s.

The gametype will be the league default (NGA Vanilla V1) and the map will be NGA Fury (Rage More Nerd's ScoreFest map, tweaked to work with Vanilla), but captains can always mutually agree to play with different settings. Signups will be closing on Saturday at 6pm Eastern (3pm Pacific), and we will begin playing three hours later at 9pm Eastern (6pm Pacific).

Hope to see you all there! Grifball tryhards, novices, and everyone in between is invited to attend.

Grifball.net - Forum Discussion - Player Registration

[Edited on 08.10.2012 8:16 AM PDT]

On Saturday, August 11, 35 players came together from all over the United States to battle it out and determine a regional Grifball champion. Check out the distribution on our Player Map. The teams were broken up into groups based on the geographical proximity of those who signed up, and six teams were created: Manifest Destiny, a group of West Coast players extending as far east as the Rocky Mountains; Points North, a team centered around the north Midwest; Greater Lakes, where players hailed from both sides of the Great Lakes; Old Man River, which consisted of players close to the Mississippi River from the Gulf Coast to the central Midwest; Colonial America, with players spanning the Eastern states from New York to North Carolina; and Cradle of Liberty, made up of players from New England and New York state.

While some teams consisted of players who were already friends or teammates, other groupings threw players together from all corners of the Grifball world. The event featured seasoned league pros and champions, newer league players, and some players stepping into competitive Grifball for the first time. In the six team Round Robin, 14 of 15 games were played over the course of four hours, with one game sacrificed to make up week league obligations. With player registration open for several days, teams consisted of 6-7 players which became frustrating to some players when nearly everyone who signed up showed up on time and ready to play - and we thank you all for it! That's a good problem to have, and if the current amazing attendance record continues, expect to see similar tournaments set up in the future with smaller squads and more playing time.

At the end of the night, a champion was crowned, and Colonial America, captained by OVERweightGOAT and made up of KidQuantum, Ezy08, Packfan010, ghetto KoolAid9, and ColonialPie took home the regional title for the night. But other competitors were close on their heels, especially when the missed game is considered. New friendships were forged over the course of the night as well, which feels like a victory for all of us. A big thank you to NetsPride15 for suggesting the event to the NGA, and thank you to all players who participated, as well as the team captains who helped get everyone some playing time and made sure the event was enjoyed by all. Awards have been given out on Grifball.net as well as HaloUNITY, so be sure to check your player pages for new swag. And if you have any game film from last night you'd like to share and have uploaded to our YouTube channel, put the film in your file share with the tag NGA, and let RageMoreNerd know you've got a film for him.

As our league players know, the NGA Summer League 2012 Playoffs are under way, and we now have several streamers you can catch on Grifball.net throughout the bracket. If you are interested in getting your game streamed or your stream featured, please let us know, we'd love to get you on the site if possible.

Our next event will be the already infamous Stat Padding Derby on August 22 - more details coming soon. Also, check in with us over the next few weeks for signups for the final Halo Reach Grifball season as well as several planned community mixers and other fun happenings. Finally, if you've got a great Grifball event idea, please let us know - we'd love to help make it happen.
