i voted yes, but i really wouldnt hold it against anyone having more than 1 team, BUT for me 1 for SC 1 for DT, did my wifes DT team last year after she lost interest and it was too much.

To enjoy it and be really involved in your leagues you can't really have more than 1 team in each format or it is just playing for the hope of the car which i honestly am not, I wnat the highest rank possible and after that a league win ..... or 5 but i'm doing it for the love of it not the car, thats a bonus,

So 1 team for me but each to his own i guess.

i was considering using my sisters email for another team but then decided it will take the fun out of it and cbf having two teams

nearly as bad as doing nothing pre-season and poaching your players from other people on a fantasy footy
site  >:(

A guy in a league I was in had two teams in the one league. He handed in one of his team. That team came like top 100

well its str8 out cheating  to be totally honest,,
and if you have no problems with having two teams, what about 3 teams or 4, 5? where does it stop?
im sure there are people who have a couple of teams for the year and make teams thru-out the season just to win the weekly prize aswell.
  if ya make enough teams you'll be able to have almost every combination of players and structures.

so to all that dont have a problem with 2 teams,,ask yourself this:  how would you feel if a person/group had control of a couple of thousand teams?

if they even had 10 teams they would lose interest in them, besides the more teams you have the more time you have to spend on DT/SC i cant imagine anyone having any more the 10 teams

but to answer the question yes to some degree i think it is unethical to have extra teams however if someone asks you to make one for them and run it for them it should be fine.

The new email account is cheating. Don't expect to get paid any $ if you win this way.

'Assisting' your wife's team isn't so bad though.

its hard enough trying to look after one team with ins and outs, trades, byes.

Dont make it hard for yourself

Yes it's unethical.

I have enough of a stressful time as it is on a friday night, trading/subbing/Captain selection... for my dreamteam and supercoach team respectively! ;D

Off topic, but do you remember in rnd 1 of DT last year, the weekly winner was found to have 2 teams?
Not sure if he still got to keep the prize, but I do remember reading somewhere that his 2nd team was removed by VS.

So After a quick check for rnd 1 rankings last year, coach "Tim," had 2 teams,
1st) Midgets of Cydonia
11th) Massive Midgets

I then checked where they finished overall,
Midgets of Cydonia- 50,884pts, ranked 2,329
Massive Midgets- 43,411pts, ranked 0.  yep zero. So that was the ineigibe team obv.

I would have thought that both teams would have been disquaified. ???

LMFAO, if I had 2 teams I'd just make twice as many bad decisions :P :P :P

you know Tim isn't a super uncommon name Roy, could have been two different people :P

for instance, I was playing the 2020 Big Bash DT, and in my league there happened to be 5 Lukes, who were all ranked 1-5 on the league ladder.

Was a bit creepy tbh :P

ok guys it is technically cheating having a new email but it can help you so much with finding combinations/players that work/ don't work. Despite the fact I'll have two teams if one by some miracle ranks 1 then I'd tell Visual Sports but not before  :P

And if you are number one and have 2 teams and feel like being honest then i bet they will delete your higher ranked team.

wouldn't like that i bet - why!? because you would feel hard done by!

its flowering cheating however you want to spin it!

but please let me know if you do so i can put a mental black mark over your name for being a cheat of the game

Have family teams, but they have at least some control, so no guilt here

 I think it's ok to have a SC and a DT side, but when i hear someone talking about there other DT team i cringe. If you tell me you finished top 100, i would say wow this guy is a serious DT'er. If you ranked top 100 with more then one team i'd call you a fraud.
