Blood Bowl is alive and well. I just went on a road trip with a buddy
for a tourney in Austin, Tx and we hope to have one here in Houston in
the near future.

Tactics and strategy are going to vary depending on your opponent.
Some teams are very bashy and you want to avoid base to base to
minimize blocks. Some teams are very fast and you need to keep more
players deep to avoid giving up fast TDs. The key is to be able to
get numbers whwere you need them, so that you're blitzing/blocking
with max advantage. I think you can find specific information
searching the talkbloodbowl.com site since it's a fairly active Blood
Bowl community.

We usually do it all in one series, block, follow-up move, armor,
injury, continue move (if a blitz). If you're still new to the game,
talk to your opponent about abandoning the clock for a few games or
working with a 5 minute limit. It can be pretty intimidating playing
with the 4 minute limit when you're unfamiliar with the rules.

You may also want to do a search for LRB 5.0 cheat sheets. These are
4 page summaries of the rules that will help you handle things faster
than flipping through the rules books.
