No, we shouldn't. We have 4 subs and 2 emergencies that's 1/3 of your starting team, that's enough.

I might draw up a fixture for the mid season break Rounds 11-13 and come up with an All-Star cup to play off for every year. It seems we now have 2 obvious choices U.S.A. vs The All-Stars with 6 of us (Springfield, Arizona, Washington, Roswell, Dallas, L.A.) in mainland U.S.A. and the other 6 (Hawaii, Calgary, Asuncion, El Paso*furthest south*, Vancouver, Nicaragua) off shore, or we could have those groups or North (Vancouver, Calgary, Washington, Springfield, Arizona, L.A.) vs South (Hawaii, Roswell, Nicaragua, Asuncion, El Paso, Dallas).
I think we should do one of those rather than ladder positions so we can keep the same teams from year to year and play off for a yet to be named cup every time.

We all select which coach and assistant will manage the team for that week (no coach can coach more than one week so everyone gets a turn). We all post 5 players from any position from our own teams each week. The nominated coach and assistant for that week then chooses how to assemble their team from their list of 30 and submits it on the appropriate page in the usual format. You can discuss with your selections with your team before posting to ensure you can make a team in the correct format.
We will score in the usual system over the three rounds and the winning team will be decided by the aggregate score, so you can win 2 out of 3 rounds and still lose the cup!

Does that sound ok?
What teams should we go with and what should the cup be called?

LF · February 23, 2015, 11:58:17 PM

I like it
But I think the coach for the week should be able to pick which ever players they want from the teams but limit it to a certain amount from each team maybe 6-8.
It will make it easier to assemble a team then because someone could just nominate 5 mids from their team and the next coach could do the same so we could end up with not enough players from each position to make the team if you get my meaning.

Also are you doing an eliminator again this year?

Grannyboy · February 24, 2015, 12:09:48 AM

Yeah I get what you mean but I think it will even it out a bit more and make it more interesting if we submit only 5 per team especially with 6 AFL teams out each week. The coaches can all discuss which players to post beforehand so you don't end up with 5 rucks or 20 mids.
And yeah doing an Eliminator again not quite sure what format yet with 12 teams in.

Maybe just run it in 12 rounds lowest weekly score gets knocked out every week

Just so everyone knows Bud hasn't been able to access the internet for a while as he has been moving from house to house a bit lately. Im not sure if he will be able to post his team for round 1 ? but should be good to go for round 2.

He needs to have a team posted for round 1 so I will need someone neutral (regular member of fanfooty) to select a team for him if people do not have objections ?

No worries, thanks LF

Ill wait until tomorrow before I ask so people can speak if they're not happy about it. Also gives Bud some more time to post it himself if he does get internet access.
