BloodBowl League Site - Suggestions?

Hey all,
I'm kind of web retarded. Usually, I can figure things out but need to get pointed in the right direction.

So, I'm wanting to built a little website for my upcoming league that the players can go to and see results, stats, and stuff. I really like that 'Halfling' excel league spreadsheet thing, and maybe I'll embed it in the site.

Anyway, how are y'all setting up sites? I poked around a little last night and found what I think are three options.

1) Use a free CMS like Wordpress or something. Not sure how flexible this is though, or if I'll be able to track all the league stuff.

2) Several sites seem to copy the Aros league: http://www.arosbb.dk/
check these two: http://www.anarchy.bloodbowlleague.com/
http://www.brisbane.bloodbowlleague.com/

In fact the bottom both credit the code as being copied from aros. If I wanted to go this route, i guess I'd have to contact the aros webmaster. I wonder how it's updated though.

3) Da Leeg: http://www.stuntyleeg.com/
Is this something I register for and link to it from my site?

It looks like the phoenix league (http://www.thepbbl.com/) has a link to their 'leaguetracker' which looks to be that 'Da Leeg' resource. (http://thepbbl.com/leaguetracker/)

So, anyone have any tips or suggestions?

No you host the whole league on there it is free and uses the OLBBM software. It means you don't have to keep the software on your own hosting up to date or indeed have your own hosting.

The functionality is great and if you want to use the software on your own hosting cause you want your own domain etc for the league then you can just install the OLBBM software yourself. One of these two options is the best solution in my opinion.

I don't think any other software has as many features for running a Blood Bowl league, certainly not free software.

At http://www.stuntyleeg.com, I am slowly implementing a full CMS for coach, team, and league pages as well. Just gotta work out some database things though I am very close. Also I will be converting OBBLm to be part of the CMS so it will be completely seemless eventually.

Once this CMS conversion is complete there will be a ton more functionality I can add. The first phase of the CMS will just be the forum.
