So we're using one scoring system for two weeks and then a different one for the rest of the season?

We all might only just use the SC+AF/2 system, if we are unable to get the right programs to run the other system...I think.

Yeah, my thinking also.

If there's already a bit of work involved in just doing one system, why invest even more time trying to get another one going?

For those that are not real excel gurus there is not a lot of work involved if the system can be tailored to ex Sportal scoring, If it can not be then we will not use but if it is easy then we have the option to continue our existing scoring system. Only real issue will not know till conclusion of Round 1 whether it will work or not hence the discussion.

It will be easy with lookups and pivots if possible.

Have we got a result as to what our scoring system is yet? :)

Voting does not close till tomorrow and 3 coaches are still to vote. As the second vote still does not have a majority will not publish at this stage.

Not sure if I completely missed it in the rules thread, but can your sub replace the score of one of your utilities, or only those actually named as a def/mid/ruck/fwd?

Ringo · March 30, 2015, 09:39:40 PM

Under the old rule which is current can replace the lowest score of any player on the field and that is still the case.

Ok cheers Ringo :)

Ok this is a bit of a strange situation...josh thomas would have been one of the highest averaging forwards based on last years scores and pending his next drug test, could face expulsion from the league. Is there any way we may get some sort of compensation for this? (as mentioned he really was one of the best forwards based on last years averages)

Sorry to be harsh here but in short no. He is suspended as oppossed to retired or injured. Season starts tonight and he is still officially on the Pies list.

Will also not allow a rookie promotion otherwise it sets a precedent should player x be suspended for more than 6 weeks i would have to allow rookie promotions for the period.

So in short you may be playing one short this year as 2 will any other clubs who have players suspended as a result.

That's a short term solution while they're suspended. There's no chance they get off and they will certainly have their contracts terminated. So then what happens? We've had Garlett also lost from our list in the past so our team is getting stunted dramatically by this compared to other teams now

JBs-Hawks · April 06, 2015, 09:53:44 AM

Just luck of the draw. Do i get compensation because Kreuzer cant stay fit?

Once the season has commenced it is the luck of the draw. we have had instances of players retiring mid season in the past and I did not allow replacement or rookie promotion.

Is it fair to other teams now that we have had virtually one complete round and you get to take your pick of Kamdyn McIntosh, Dylan Roberton, or Dale Morris who are all uncontracted players after final placements.

So basically it gets back to fairness and the fairness is teams are locked as per dates advised and if any issues after that it is luck of the draw.
