Tier 1 – 55% to 45% win rate : Any team not in another Tier During the time of the BBRC the following win percentages were used in choosing which teams to tweak, making them more or less powerful, and this was largely guided towards league play, so the tiers were somewhat different. As well as tournament wins, there has also been statistical analysis done of the overall win percentage, with draws counting as half a win. These tiers reflect the fact that that the majority of tournaments were won by the teams in Tier 1, with more occasional wins from Tier 2, and rare tournament wins by stunty teams. Tier 3: Halflings, Goblins, Ogres (collectively known as the “stunty” teams, who often get awarded a special “stunty cup” for the highest placed in a tournament) Tier 2: Chaos, Human, Khemri, Pact, Slann, High Elves, Nurgle, Necromantic, Pro Elves, Vampires, Underworld Tier 1: Chaos Dwarf, Dwarf, Wood Elves, Skaven, Norse, Lizardmen, Orc, Undead, Amazon, Dark Elves There is debate over how many tiers there should be, and where teams should fall for a particular ruleset, but this is an example to give you a flavour of where the teams fall:

The term “Tiers” in Blood Bowl is used to refer to the different winning abilities of the different races in Blood Bowl.
