V League

[ossie85]

Looking for expressions of interest for a new Worlds fantasy competition!

If not much interest, will let it die, but have been toying with this idea.

Offering 10 New Franchises - in the World's equivalent of a t20 competition....

V
LEAGUE

10 teams. Squad size of 10. Only 5 players play each week. No positions. Total SC points from those 5 count.

Each franchise gets $10m to spend on 10 players.

The top 50 highest averaging SC players from 2013 (still playing AFL) are auctioned off individually. These are franchise players, each with a reserve price of $400,000.

Once that finishes, the other 50 players are chosen from the remaining players in an open and free market. Every player has a reserve price of $100,000.

Fixture:
11 rounds played over AFL Rounds 7, 11 to 20

The top 4 play off in finals after that.

Round 21: 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th
Round 22: Loser 1st v 2nd v Winner 3rd v 4th
Round 23: Winner 1st v 2nd v Winner Round 21

The Top 5 for the year get to coach their franchise the next year, the bottom 5 have to apply again with new applicants applying for new franchises.

Bidding starts from scratch each year (though existing clubs might get a chance to keep some current players, haven't thought that through yet).

I'll be asking for applications for each franchise if it looks like this will be popular or not...

New franchises? Cool. I like the idea.

I'm a T20 fan, so this excites me.

Is this kinda like WXVs baby brother?  :P

Do we get to choose our own franchise names?

Nope, that's Purple 77

Yep. Will be very minimal restrictions on location/names. I see that being part of the application

[JBs-Hawks]

Looks awesome!

[Nige]

I'd be keen then!  8)

I would choose an unused country across all XVs, if allowed.

Like it Oss

Maybe with the bidding for next year have the returning successful franchises nominate 3 players they wish to retain. Similar to IPL when these players come up on the market and they have the right to match offer to retain player, Will make it hard though for any new franchise to get quality players but they have the option to bid.

Thought initially only top 5 but then thought all existing franchisees to give them a chance of retaining best players,

Yes, that could be a way forward for sure :)

Thinking maybe giving current franchises a 10% discount on price or something also :/ But that's ages way

Won't be putting my hand up for this one

[BGK]

I'd be very interested. Looks an interesting idea.

Oh, praise be! One less person to beat.  :P

[T Dog]

If newbies to "worlds" isn't an issue.. I would be keen as well.. :D

[Nails]

At the risk of having too many teams (hard to keep track of what I have already) think I'll need to skip this one more out of necessity rather than actually wanting to.
