Signups are open all the time...but at what time youll end up on the reserve list is whole other matter.
I think well start considering division setups roughly 1-2 weeks before the start of Season3 and we'll see then the exact number of players who'll get in for sure.
Ofcourse we'll try to let everyone in who wants to play, but like i said - we'll look into the division size details later. First come first serve and all that :)

In case i wont end up continuing with vamps (kinda want to try the power of 5 blodge-pro vamps..), i am pretty likely to go with either Amazons or Chaos. Or elves. you know how it goes.

ippo: are you sure that you will be ok with dying butterflies (zons)? they are wonderfull, strong, dangerous, but fragile. Nearly to the same extend as Norse team.

I did some experimenting against the AI as Chaos Dwarves and wow ...more fun than the Norse as I had an entire Norse team down to about 3 players just from the constant smashing them....
Yes, I know the AI makes for a poor choice when trying out new teams but it was late at night for me and I wasn't feeling up to snuff to play against another human being :D

Sure zones will get pound to meat paste against any dwarf/chaos dwarf team - but cant have anything?
Then again, id really like to do a proper chaos team once. ...and try the leveled up vamp team. Well, we'll see how my mood changes. I mean, any elven team might be fun to try as well - despite i have no idea whatsoever how to play with pure ST3 team. Zones would atleast have easy access to fair amount of guard.

If I do put the Dinos on the back burner, I'm considering either Chorfs or Chaos.
Chaos have the potential for non squishy ball carriers, but start with no skills so take a while to become effective.
Chorfs seem like a middle ground between that & my lizards.
Starting skills on the front liners & centaurs to do the work.
I'm just not completely sold on the hobgobs...

Cheap AV7 fodder with general skill access. Its matter of taste, whether one like more 40k undead who are better at taking hits or thralls/hobbies who actually have decent speed and decent agility.
Anyways, its nice to have some cheap players to throw at your opponent. Ive even scored and passed with them once. ...After 11 matches that doesnt sound too convincing does it?
...i must admit, that if it looks like we are getting sudden influx of chaos dwarves and dwarves, i may want to take the chaos (or something else) over amazons.

I think initially regular Dwarfs are better than Chaos Dwarfs, but as you develop your team, the Chaos will come out ahead. Ok, so I don't like the hobgoblins, but as your team grows you'll have 6 Chaos Dwarfs, 2 Bull Centaurs and 1 Minotaur. That leaves only 2 spots for hobgoblins. By that time you should have a couple with a few decent skill ups, and a few more hobgoblins in the reserve box shouldn't be that hard to have (low price) in case those 2 get pummeled.
I'm only afraid of the first few matches because picking up the ball look like it will be a complete pain in the ass. I also think the Bull Centaur can become a monster with a few lucky skill ups.
I played a Chaos Dwarf vs. Norse game and I managed to finally score in any Blood Bowl game ...only because I knocked out the opposition :D

What regular dwarves are better at is whole lot of skills -> easy to start and later on have more stand firm and what not. Alot. Also higher AV9 over the whole team.
So its really which sort of gameplay you like - more grindy or bit of bash and dash.

I'm startig to have some weird ideas, like giving khorne demons a try...
That or Goblins or Khemri...
Although I could end with orks or dwarves, if they are not too overpopulated...
Aggh, I like too many teams...
