[Ringo]

Welcome to the start of the new season.

New Coach of the Giants welcome in ChuckStigg.

Teams are to be lodged in this format:

Def: xxxx  xxxx  xxxx xxxx
Mid: xxxx  xxxx  xxxx xxxx
Ruck: xxxx
Fwds: xxxx  xxxx  xxxx xxxx
Util: xxxx xxxx (can be in any position)
Emergencies: xxxx  xxxx  xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx (name in priority order and post in UF)

Captain, Vice Captain and emergency vice captain to be specified,

Teams will be locked in UF at bounce of Demons and Dockers Game on Saturday. No Loopholing.
Captains, Vice Captain and EVC will be locked at bounce of Tigers Blues game Thursday,

Teams to be lodged in UF and this thread with Emergencies in order so Admin can make the required adjustments if necessary as per this rule so you can see the importance of order: Note if Teams not lodged in this thread then UF order used which means first emergency is your defender.
7.4 Emergency Scoring[/b]
Emergencies will play should a starting member of your team not play, but with conditions.
     7.4a. If a player on the interchange is the same position as the player that pulled out, he will be moved into that position. The extra interchange spot will be filled by your FIRST preference listed emergency.
     7.4b. If a player on the interchange is NOT of the same position, then option to replace the player who pulled out moves to your emergencies.
     7.4c. Emergencies can only replace players in the SAME position for full points. If emergency used OOP than 1/2 points will apply.
     7.4d. If an emergency is a Dual Position Player, he can be called into either position (i.e. if he is a Fwd/Mid, he can play as either a forward or mid)
     7.4g. If you have more than 4 players in your starting 15 not playing, the highest value (determined by your draft
selection) squad member from the rest of your team will play, but only a QUARTER (rounded up) of the score will count. I.e if Alan Toovey is the highest remaining squad member, and he scores 53, only 1/4 points will count towards your final score.
     7.4h If a starting player has less than 20% TOG then the score from the emergency in the same position will apply.
     7.4i If none of your emergencies can cover a non starting player in the exact position, then the first available playing emergency (not used elsewhere) will be substituted into the position for 1/2points OOP.

Draw for Rd 1 which is the rivalry round with no Home Ground Advantage,
