TooSerious

Apologies for the lack of posts this year.

We are now into the finals, so I wanted to get a post up to remind everyone of the agreed promotion and relegation rules for this season, as well as point out the situation in each league.

Firstly, remember we all decided on a different format for next season.
This:

All leagues still with 12 teams in each.
A Premier League
A Division 1 league
Any other leagues as conference leagues, could have 1, 2, 3, 4 or any ammount of these leagues which sit at the same level of the hierarchy and all feed into the Division 1 league through promotions.

We do still need to work out how many teams move between the leagues at the end of the season, but we can work that out prior to the '16/17 season.

It was decided that the promotion and relegation setup for the '15/16 season is the following:
Keep the promotion/relegation rules between Premier and Division 1 exactly the same as last season.
5 teams move from Division 1, down into the Conference leagues (allows for the wildcard to still come into play this season)
4 teams move up from Division 2 into Division 1 (same as last season)
1 team moves up from Division 3 into Division 1 (Grand final winner)

Promotion:

The 3 teams going up from Div 1 to Premier will be:
the GF winning team;
the team with the best regular season 'Points For' (excluding GF winner of course);
And (excluding 2 already promoted teams) the team with the best rank during regular season.

The 4 teams going up from Div 2 to Div 1 will be:
the two grand final teams;
and (excluding the two GF teams) the team with the best 'points for' during regular season;
and (excluding said Points For winner) the best ranked team at end of our regular season.

The team going up from Div 3 into Div 1 will be: the grand final winner

Relegation:

The 3 teams going down from Premier to Div 1 will be:
the bottom team at the end of the regular season;
and (excluding the team with the worst reg season...

So we've had a chance to see something of each team through the first round of NAB challenge matches. Always remember to take pre-season form with grain of salt!

Will be interesting to see how it's played by the clubs.

Thinking that overall, teams will play their stars in the 1st and 3rd games, with the 3rd game more closely representing the actual gameplan.

Lotta praccy matches going on at the moment, and I'm a good 8 hours away from being able to sit down and read through the reports- so if we want to start the chatter- or post any reports in here.

Go for it!

For those who take the selection of their fantasy football team seriously, you're probably already aware how the loophole works. For those who don't there is a refresher at the bottom of this article.

Explore the interpretation of "loophole value" in this analysis of the 2016 fixture.

Remember when TS Used to allow you to upload your team?

It was a good time, a simple time, a time without AFL Fantasy, DFS all that ASAGA junk.

The TooSerious tradition that is Rate My Team (RMT) is back in 2016!

Let's set the ground rules for RMT, nice and clear.

1. In order to get feedback on your own team, you must first provide feedback on the teams that have been recently posted. This is the golden rule and is what makes this whole thing work.
2. If you just post your team without giving any feedback, your post will be deleted.
3. Please refrain from commenting on teams that have been posted by others that have not followed the golden rule.
4. Keep it civil. Constructive criticism is fine. But there is a line and please don't cross it.

To kick things off, I'll put my current SC team up for discussion.



Find that value, search hard and follow your instincts!
Or just tell me I'm dreaming and where I've gone wrong...

Okay so this is essentially a bastardisation of P_L's thread. I couldn't work out how to promote it to a featured article. And the main page is where the ORFFL belongs. Damnit, that's where 3n4nsy belongs.

Putting all that aside, here are the dates for the upcoming trade, delistments, draft, trade periods:

2016 Pre-Pre-SeasonDraft Trade Period - Now - Feb 26th 9pm AEDT
2016 Pre-Season Delistment Deadline (lists at no more than 20 player) - Feb 27th 9pm AEDT
2016 Pre-Season Draft - Feb 29th 0:00AM (or earlier the night of the 28th if you want)
2016 Post-Pre-Season Draft Trade Period - End of draft - 23rd March 9pm AEDT

Ok peeps, with SC, DT and AFLF all opening, we can now roll the site over to the latest!

Look at that projection assuming Gaz scores his A/A team scores.

Got some new graphs around the place, and a couple of bugs that I'm looking into *cough*ticker*cough*, but we're nearly there.

One more shiny feature before moving onto the ORFFs

As always, let me know if you spot any bugs.
