Alright guys well we are definitely close to the end of the draft here, so just going to get a few things ready for the judging. I want everyone to make sure they completely update their teams in the teams thread clearly for the judges, and don't forget to include your team name, captain and vice captain.

You should also remember you will be allowed to write yourself a paragraph or so about your team to 'woo' the judges in your favour. The word limit (at this point) is 300 words. To look at that visually, it looks like this:

"Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least. Hawthorn is going to win the premiership in 2012 and Buddy is going to kick 10 goals in the Grand Final at the absolute least."

So that is exactly 300 words, that is your limit (the judges wont have time to read essays about your teams :P if you think this paragraph should be shorter or longer very strongly, then make it clear and we will follow a majority rules type of thing if there is enough support but at this stage 300 it is.

The judges are going to rate your team out of 10 in each of these categories: Defence, Midfield, Forward, Team Balance, Team Flexibility. They are going to pm me the rating of each team (so they don't know what the other judges have rated better/worse than them) and I am going to tally up all the ratings and determine the best 4 teams. These 4 teams will play off h2h (it will be 1v4 and 2v3) the result is determined by the judges simply voting 'Team A' or 'Team B' and as there are 5 judges, it is best out of 5 and as you can probably tell, the two winners advance to the Grand Final where again the judges will vote for the winner.

At the conclusion of the Grand Final winner being announces, I will post a complete list of all the judges ratings, votes etc. to show no cheating or rigging or anything and the judges can check to make sure what I posted was accurate. The main point of anonymity is because a) it doesn't effect the judges decision (i.e. if they see other judges rating team X really good then they will too) and b) adds excitement (people wont assume that the team with the highest initial ratings will be the winner and it wont effect the judges decision because they wont know which teams were rated higher).

There will also be some novelty awards but they will appear sporadically throughout the judging and h2h process :)

Any questions/disagreements/queries ?

Buddy is going to kick a lot of goals according to you ;D
