This edition differs from edition with the lessons learned from LRBs 1.0 through 4.0 and to Bowl League format (PBBL) without needing to reset the league for  \nnew members. Specialist Games has been glad to provide the LRB free of charge to download from their website and this will continue for the foreseeable future. For those of you who are familiar with version 4.0 of the rules, a complete list of changes is available as a downloadable errata file on the website. All changes and typographical corrections from version 4.0 have been highlighted in red so they are easy to spot. I'd like to extend many thanks to all the play-testers for their work and contributions over the last 2 years especially to Tom Anders who completed this project when I needed to attend to other projects.  \nMay Nuffle always bless your dice.
