Suppose now's a good a time as any to sort out the rules.

8 teams obviously, I'd say either 15 or 22 players, none of this 12 player rubbish. Head to head league with finals of course, not sure about the fixture repeat and open to suggestion for which round we should start. A snake style draft seems the most fair and probably a day as the time to make your pick in the draft. Not sure about rolling lockout as it could give some an unfair advantage, obviously yes to captains not sure about the auto emergency though and i think we should have trade waivers on with a 1 day tome period not sure about the order policy though. Not so sure about trades though as it could be argued that if both coaches agree to a trade it should be fine but some might want a say in it.

Just my opinion, completely open for suggestion.

I reckon we do a vote for each option, for each league maybe? And whatever option is the most popular we do?

LEAGUE CUSTOMISATION OPTIONS

I'm putting a strike through the options we won't use, the rest can be voted by people. Simply leave a post below with your preferred option for each one that I have put 'open to voting' next to in bold, please and thanks lads.

League Type (private or public):
* Private league - This type of league has a League Commissioner who will need to invite people to play in the league
* Public league - Will be advertised on the site and open for anyone to join. You may also invite others, until the league is filled up


- League size (choose 6, 8, 10 or 12): Select the number of users.

- Head-to-head (yes/no): A fixture is generated for teams to play against each other every round. Otherwise the teams are ranked based on total points only.

- League finals series (yes/no): If activated, the final four rounds in your league will consist of a top eight finals series, as used by the actual AFL (available for leagues of 8 teams or more only).

- Fixture repeat (choose 1,2,3 or 4): In head-to-head leagues, select the number of times that your fixture repeats (i.e. how many times each team will play every other). OPEN FOR VOTING

- League start round: Select the round when you'd like to start your league competition. OPEN FOR VOTING

- Draft type (Live, Auto or Live One Computer)
* Live Draft - takes place with all members of the league selecting a player turn-by-turn
* Auto Draft - teams are automatically selected based on each users' pre-draft selections, as they stand at the set draft time. No manual player selection or draft takes place.
* Live One Computer - The live draft takes place on one computer (on the creator/commissioner login) with each user taking turns to select a player on the same computer. A draft may also be completed offline, with selections made by a single person at the set Draft Time. (available to private leagues only) OPEN FOR VOTING


- Draft order (Snake, Linear, Banzai):
* Snake Draft - the order of selections is reversed each round
* Linear Draft - the order of selections stays the same each round
* Banzai Draft - the order of selections reverses in round 2, stays the same in round 3, and then continues as per the Snake Draft.

- Draft turn time: Select the maximum amount of time that each user will have to make a selection during the live draft. Each user will be able to make their pick when the previous user has completed their selection. If the draft is not completed by the league's starting round, it will auto-complete based on each user's pre-draft priority list.
* 60 seconds
* 90 seconds
* 2 minutes
* 5 minutes
* 10 minutes
* 30 minutes
* 1 hour
* 1 day
* No limit

- Draft date and time: Set the date for your draft to take place
* Private leagues - Commissioners may change this after the league is created.
* Public leagues - The date and time is locked in, unless the league fails to fill by the required time. If the league is not completed, the league creator may reset and update the draft time.

TEAMS, TRADING & GAMEPLAY SETTINGS

- Captains (double points):
Yes/No

- Auto Emergency:
Yes/No - (With auto emergency enabled the player with the lowest score on the bench replaces a player with 0 points on the field).

- Rolling Lockout:
Yes/No - (With a rolling lockout players lockout at the start of each game. Otherwise all players lockout at the start of the first game.)

- Field Layout/Squad size:
How many players in squad, designated as DEF-MID-RUC-FWD / BENCH OPEN TO VOTING - WILL BE 15, JUST DEPENDS WHICH STRUCTURE PEOPLE WANT

2-2-1-2/5 =12 players

2-3-1-2/4 = 12

2-2-1-2/8 = 15

2-3-1-2/7 = 15

3-3-1-3/5 = 15

3-4-1-3/4 = 15

5-6-2-5/4 = 22

- Trade waivers (yes/no): With trade waivers enabled (highly recommended), dropped players from squads are entered into a waiver system (instead of becoming free agents), with a priority list as to which teams will have first choice to pick them up. OPEN TO VOTING

Waiver time period:
* 1 day
* 2 days
* 3 days
* 4 days

- Waiver order policy (Reverse Ladder, Last Pick to Bottom): SUBJECT TO ABOVE
* Reverse Ladder (recommended) - the waiver order is reset at the end of the round, with the lowest ranked team having the first priority of selecting from the waiver pool.
* Last Pick to Bottom - The order is never reset - users go to the bottom of the priority order after each successful pick.


- Inter-team trading options (League approved, Commissioner approved, free-for-all trades): OPEN TO VOTING
* League approved - Other coaches in your league have an option to 'veto' trades proposed between teams. A proposed trade will not be completed if 40% of your league's coaches vote to veto the trade.
* Commissioner approved - The league commissioner is the only person who must approve or reject any proposed trade
* Free-for-all trades - all proposed trades between teams (when accepted by the relevant coach) are completed immediately.

I would have, but by the time people vote on each option, it could be a while. Then, we also have to get the drafting done by the time SC starts which could also take a while.
