The c4 State of Origin Competition 2014

[ossie85]

Will carry on this year with the 2014 State of Origin Series - which is of course highlighted by the EurAsia v AAP Alliance match! I have named the series after c4v3m4n, who created the concept!

Representative Round (AFL Round 9 Ess, Syd, Mel, Bris, Freo, St.K + Round 10)

Home Team		Score		Score		Away Team		Location
EurAsia		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		AAP Alliance		Paterson's Stadium
Indigenous All-Stars		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Internationals		Gabba
NSW/ACT/Tas		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Qld/NT		Sydney Cricket Ground
South Australia		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Western Australia		Adelaide Oval
Vic Country		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Vic Metro		Melbourne Cricket Ground

Based on results so far this year - i.e. the most points scored so far, the coaches are...

For EurAsia..... HOLZMAN The Dublin Destroyers are one of the flag favourits, and deserves a lot of credit for getting the side from Wooden Spooners to now! He will get to choose the best of the best players from Dublin, London, Berlin, Seoul, Moscow, Tokyo, PNL, Beijing and New Delhi. Last year Ringo caused a mammoth upset with EurAsia.

And for AAP Alliance we have NAILS, who has his Armadillos on top of the ladder and is the premiership favourite. He can choose from Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Toronto, Cape Town, Cairo, New York, Pacific and Wellington.

The match will be held across half of Round 9, and all of Round 10 - while the 18 WXV teams have a bye.

In addition - we have!

WXV State of Origin!

In addition to the EurAsia v AAP Alliance representative matches, State of Origin matches will be held giving each coach in the WorldXVs a chance to continue playing during the AFL's rounds 9 - 10.

This is how c4 have envisioned it will work:

1. There will be 8 representative teams: VIC Metro, VIC Country, SA, WA, NSW/ACT/TAS, QLD/NT, Indigenous All-Stars, Internationals.
2. Coaches volunteer to coach a side!
3. Teams will be chosen in the following order: AAP, EUR then QLD/NT, NSW/ACT/TAS, ABOR, ROW, WA, SA, VICC and finally VICM. c4 felt, and I agree, that this will be the fairest as QLD/NT and NSW/ACT/TAS have very limited squad choices, whereas both Victorian teams have an abundance of players.
4. Squad lists will be made available by me soon, based on where the player was recruited from - otherwise it gets very tricky!
5. The Internationals team will be made up of players that were born in a country outside Australia OR had at least one of their parents born outside Australia.

Current WXV Rules will apply for all matches, except no home advantage will be given. Also, the out-of-position rule will be relaxed for some teams due to team numbers. UNLIMITED EMERGENCIES, no partial or rolling lock-outs.



Teams


VIC Metro - NigeyS

South Australia - JBs-Hawks
Western Australia - Master Q/Toga

So we still have a few vacant spots! Does Q/Toga or JBs-Hawks want to switch to another team?

Also opening up for the assistants who want to coach any of these teams? Daz, vinny, nrich, Memphis, anyone?

Dat bias... AAP look beastly being top loaded, but wouldn't rule out EurAsia for another upset ;).

And good to see it's opened up to assistants as well :). That and naming it after C4!
