I think it would cool to play a league where the teams were entirely, or nearly entirely Linemen. Does anyone else think this could be a fun league? Just answer 4 questions 
1. Are you interested?
2. What teams (if any) should be banned?
3. All linemen teams or allow one positional?
4. Any special rules? (Claw nerf, fouling buffs, right stuff buffs,etc.)
I'll start
1. Obviously yes
2. Zons are obvious as a potential ban. Chaos and Pact seem too strong with normal GSM access
3. I think allowing one positional makes a few otherwise super weak teams (dwarfs, chaos dwarfs, vampires) playable. It might make the elf teams (wood elves?) too strong
4. I like all the added rules |

Yeah, there were at least 2 leagues run. You may be able to take over either of them i guess, as both were closed by their comissioner.
1. Sure
2. If Zons are banned, so should be Norse too.
3. This goes against No2. Eliminating the weakness of dorfs may lead their domination, so would potentially a wardancer.
4. Anything goes.
Extra points: The way previous leagues handled was to allow special rules for stunties. As long as teams are not developed, the goblins may keep Amazons and Norse somewhat in check. I played zons a lot, and all dodge gives them fits as long as none of them has block/tcakle, and chainsaw is an absolute hoser. |

On my phone so quoting is tough.
@mj Thanks for the link! That will be useful for making rosters. Although I was picturing a league rather than a tournament.
@bg A team of exclusively ma4 is going to be really, really hard to rub on offense. Not sure adding a lone Runner really swings them that much. As for Zons v. Norse, I don't think the comparison is apt at all. Zons get Blodge on everyone at 6 spp. That's ridiculous. A team of just Zon linewomen can beat most full teams at low TV. A Norse lineman trades a point of av for a normal skill (compared to a human lineman as the baseline). I don't think they'd be OP. But obviously just an opinion.
Later I'll add a running list of tentative rosters |

Zons will all have Av7 and at the very moment they meet an *average* orc/human/helf/delf/chaos/chapt/etc etc etc willing to accpet a both down result on a rookie linewoman, they're gone.
oh, and go for the pure linos teams! 
I volounteer for vice-commissioner |

I volunteer to run amok with Norse if you insist. :p
There are matchups where amazons have the advantage, but Norse really owns some of those matchups the amazons struggle with. And i would take a norse team in a straight match against amazons. |

How do people feel about using the season 2 rosters from the link joshua posted?
In short, any roster with a "better" than 6337 lineman (including dwarfs and the 3 undead teams) gets only linemen.
6337 teams (including Nurgle and Lizardmen) get a "big guy"
Stunty teams get some options
I think it's a good compromise. Dwarfs and the Undead squads seem quite weak. Norse and Zons start strong, but their skill advantage diminishes over time. Chaos and Pact aren't any better to start but their skill access makes them strong over time. |

I was thinking a standard league with some sort of round robin season and a short tournament at the end. But I'm open. |

I am in to play Hobgoblins (formerly played in Chaos Dwarf teams).
I say ban no one. I like the Season 2 rosters. |

I think you should make it Humans only, Linemen only. The ultimate test of skill. |

I would be interested.
That Human only thing would also be interesting. Every team starting and broadly building the same. |

You could balance things a bit. For example, in 2nd ed Skeletons had an auto move from the ko box. So they could get 2 free babes for example. |
