Blackbox Goal
I am in love with the Blackbox concept. This is, for me, Blood Bowl as it should be at it's finest. No cherrypicking, just a machine to put you with the right opponent.
My goal for the Blackbox:
Get a team for every race.
Activating with all my teams will allow me to learn every aspect of the game and having all the teams will prevent me from getting bored with one race. Finally, it will make sure that the match-up will be as fair as possible.
I am still doubting whether to include a goblin and halfling team. I probably will though, even though it is just for fun.
My other, secondary, goal:
Do not retire teams, unless I absolutely have to. Killings and injuries are part of the game.

Good luck.
I too was thinking of doing this, but couldn't find the time to create that many teams. Also it would mean i would have to make an orc, khemri and dwarf team, which would make me sad

Done the same...
Looks like some of my teams are not going to play for a while, as they are baddly battered, and there isn't that many gobbos or flings in the box.
Good fun overall, and some surprising results (for me) with some of the teams....

In Blackbox sometimes teams will end up with a "virtual retirement", which means being beaten up to the point where no other activated team is a match for them (i.e. some 89/54 goblins who lost both trolls). You might someday find a match for them, but in essence they are not match-up-able anymore.
Short of that, good luck. The more box coaches the better. Maybe "Found 5 coaches" become a thing of the past.

My goal is to game in a way that makes me happy, and to try not to even imply, let alone state, that anyones elses choices of how to game are in any way lesser than mine.

@PurpleChest,
if I implied that anyone else's way of playing the game is lesser than that was not my intention at all. I hope you noted all the 'I' and 'me'.
@maysrill,
I hope to avoid that by sometimes activating only with teams that need a match instead of all teams. Still needs a bit of luck with finding an opponent of course.
@all,
Thanks for the positive notes!

Good luck! I've been playing this way in the box for a while, it definitely educates you in ways you wouldn't expect!

That's the spirit! And do make gobbos, you'll have lots of fun with them.
