Chet - have you got these written down "formally" anywhere?
I've moved this topic here to the House Rules forum.

Yes, we like them, too. Player development and attrition is good; ageing...well, it's a temporary evil, but it's not a necessary one if your rules are working in a particular fashion. Players die in this league, and players turn over, but they do so on the pitch. And they don't do it with the same frequency they did under Vanilla 3E, which was horribly busted in many respects.
Do I have them written down anywhere? Yes, I do. All of my leagues house rules are available at the following URL:
http://www22.brinkster.com/angelli/bloodbowl/
Just click the "Rules" banner in the left-hand navigation column. The rules are all available as separate PDF files. (Mind you, brinkster has a limit per day on these, so I'll be sure to post a copy to another site if you guys complain about timeouts and similar errors.)
Feel free to discuss away.

I'd just like to say having read your rules set - well done.... Not sure about capping spps so quickly - but how often do players get that far 
A nice simple set of rules revisions. I like it... |

In general, I like the rules adapations. Changing things to keep players from getting bonuses to injury should make the game more friendly to low armor and high skilled teams, and I think that's reflected in the composition of the leauge. It seems to be almost entirely made up of 7 armor, and the rules changes would worry me if I was a traditional Orc or Dwarf coach.
With the overall low armor, I'm not sure that the rules revisions would work for a more bashy league. |

In particular, what do you think wouldn't work? I think an Orc team would do just fine with these rules; ditto a Dwarf team. The largest difference on the strength side would be the lack of back-end mods for MB. But MB retains its effectiveness at removing players from the pitch, so I think the difference is minor. (It works for the Ogres, who are definitely not a "finesse" side.)
We might pick up two new coaches next season. I expect them to come in with Undead, Human, or Skaven teams, although they might surprise me. But the Dark Elf coach has the best AV in this league, and he has frequently mentioned a desire to play Dwarves in this environment. Ditto the Norse coach.
