yep got it, and understood. honestly, i am thinking pick trading doesn't have a place in this comp. it is supposed to be a simple comp and pick trading goes against its ethos. i have updated the rules based on live picks in the case of trading picks for now, but am leaning towards killing this off....
yeh i have thought about it, and am making an exec call to kill it....trading of draft picks is no longer permitted. rules updated
all, i have been toying with the fixture and scheduling, given the AFL have gone bonkers with bye rounds this season, to try to find something that works. the challenge is there are 10 teams and 18 home and away games, keeping in mind both the OR and R24 are out. the bye rounds with 4 teams missing are 3, 12, 14, 15 & 16, and the bye rounds with 2 teams missing are 2, 4 & 13. this is a total of 8 bye rounds. the options i am toying with are: skipping all the 4 team bye rounds, abandoning the finals (so a first past the post after H&A [English Premier League] style approach), and no concessional top ups from the pool for the 2 team bye rounds - this format starts R1 and has us playing 18 H&A only skipping the first 2 rounds and playing 18 H&A games + 3 rounds of finals (same as usual) and play through all bye rounds with the same concession (1 player top up during all bye rounds) as last year - this format starts R3 and has us playing 18 H&A + finals i have put a table together for each format showing the schedule. Option 1. Option 2. - where * = top up round these 2 options are the easiest to administer, so i am opening it up to coaches on this occasion. if the league has a preference pls let me know ASAP. thumbs up for Option 1 and thumbs down for Option 2 - note i am leaning toward option 1 at this stage @snoz @Len @That KI Guy @graeme @choppers @Tylo @stripey @DamoH @dmandrews
@JoshyC I would like to propose an amendment to this rule in Player Movements: • The free agent pool opens at 7pm AEST/AEDST on the Tuesday following the completion of the round. This also applies in rounds where football is played on a Monday or Tuesday Suggest we amend the emboldened words to 9pm AEST/AEDST - am conscious that some of our members are family people and 7pm is prime family time. 9pm might make it easier for more members to participate in the recruit of a new superstar before others strike. Is that more or less convenient for you @snoz ?
Definitely helps me Graeme.....9pm EST is 5am before the clocks change & 7am post daylight savings so that's a smidge better than 3am hahahahahaha
Think that would be a better time for most....I'm not as bad off as @snoz it becomes 6pm here after March and that's beer time for me so no probs....
Not personally no.......only to speak to online.......I was about 2hrs from Bangkok at the time and now I'm about 10hrs away in Bueng Kan Province............in a small town called Phon Charoen......you know it's small when there's only 1 x 7/11 store and I can't buy tea bags here...
