While surfing through the league types we have in Blood Bowl, I came across an interesting type called the Random Oracle Fumble League that had a somewhat interesting gimmick. Instead of restricting the types of teams we can use in certain leagues, we use a number generator to determine three teams a coach can use for this league. Luck can say one coach gets choices between gobbos, halflings, and ogres while another can choose between orcs, dwarfs, and undead. This was just a dumb idea I got from looking around Blood Bowl, just wondering what people think of it. What are thoughts on this? Would it be fair to try this out, or is this just not a liked gimmick?

I like randomness. But I think 3 races are too much. Maybe slim it down to 2. But the secret to such leagues is to involve relaxed coaches. Because, the idea can seem fun at first, but when your fling team get massacred for the 3rd match in a row... some coaches will lose their gusto.

It seems like it would involve a disproportionate amount of prep-work for the commissioner, for very little effect. It might get people to coach races they otherwise wouldn't (I have no particular interst in coaching Undead for example, but I don't actively dislike them to the point where I'd be upset if I drew them in a league like this) but mostly I think coaches would just pick whichever of their 2-3 random options appealed the most to them, and you'd get a league that played just like any other.
