    Firstly, before I get on to the new kids on the block, can I please pass on my appreciation, thanks, and regret to @jimbowan and @DaveH who are stepping down from their coaching roles at the Codpieces and Wanderers. Thanks for the efforts you put into your franchises, and you are always welcome in these parts.:thumbsu:

    And with a bit of a mashup of "the King is dead, long live the King" and Gladys' daily press conference, Please know that I am delighted to announce that we have two new coaches stepping up to the plate to manage these two teams for the 2022 season.

    @Cursing Fijian is going to take on the Wanderers and @churchboy is going to fill Jim's office at the Codpieces.

    Please make them feel welcome, and don't delay hitting them up with your ridiculously one sided trades :D

    For the current coaches, you can stop reading here, wipe your backsides, and get off the loo (don't forget to flush)... there is just some admin for the new coaches following.

    Cursing/Church to navigate to your team, please follow the menu TSLeagues > ORFFA > and look for your team in the Teams panel on the right hand side.

    You can elect to relocate your team and change their Nickname if you wish, however, given we have a balanced state of origin split at the moment, the ORFFA commission will not permit these teams to relocate to a Tasmanian or Victorian location.

    ORFFA T's & C's are here, pays to give them a quick read, particularly around trades and loopholing
    http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/orffa-participation-terms-and-conditions.90206/

    Please check this thread for any upcoming dates of interest
    http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/calendar-of-forthcoming-orffa-events.57926/

    ORFFA Team Lists, and current draft order etc is here
    http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/orffa-team-lists.89992/

    And there are a couple of sticky's at the top of the forum for the current trading period.

    Welcome, from my perspective there are some reasonable expectations (well I think they are reasonable)

    1. That you update your team each week of the home and away season in TS Leagues and in the banter thread
    2. that you are active and respond to trade requests etc
    3. and be an all around nice, friendly, active person!

    Is that saying the lord's name in vain, only to navigate to a team? :D:D

    In too seriousness, its good to have you both join the Association @Cursing Fijian and @churchboy !
    There is much fun to be had around these parts.

    and please feel free to ask any questions in the forums because the other coaches will likely be able to shed light on whatever it is you are seeking

    As usual, Commish Bandito has laid it all out for you in the opening post. That was the good news.

    The not so good news is, while you are batting back trade offers and laying plans to improve your list, remember you will have to delist 6 of your players prior to the pr-season draft.

    Welcome to our new benevolent non-overlords @churchboy and @Cursing Fijian . I'd request if you could please be nice to my struggling adopted team as it rebuilds in earnest.

    welcome to the Cursing Fijian (thought it might have happened last year) and churchboy. We are a pretty easy to get on with lot. When I doubt simply post - get stuffed @Bandit

    Hey mate, welcome aboard.
    First tip I think would be to find a home base for your team…. I don’t think they ever settled being nowhere else after leaving Darraweit Guim

    Happy to come up with a home base, how can I check out what the current league makeup is? Is there a ladder somewhere?

    Hey no worries, I was only kidding about the team location. Totally up to you if you choose a new team name or not :)

    have a read of the OP in this thread where Bandit has outlined a few things.

    Here’s a quick link to the page where the ladder and teams etc are displayed: http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagues.php?leagueId=2

    As Bandit mentioned in the OP, ORFFA Team Lists, and current draft order etc can be found here:
    http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/orffa-team-lists.89992/

    I hope that helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Oh, and one caveat on a potential move to a new location / home base... it can't be in Victoria or Tasmania, as that will throw out the state of origin ratios :) anywhere else (or Nowhere Else ;) ) is fine

    Awesome. Thanks.

    I would like to officially change my team name to the 'Dunsborough Dung Beetles'.

    I am a little unsure how to 'manage' my team. Lets start with something like uploading a new team logo. Do I just upload a file and an admin updates?

    That might need to wait until the season rolls over mate, just because of last years ladder etc

    Like the name though!

    Logo is your personal badge mate, the teams in tsleagues don't have one per se.
    I've updated your team name, the team changes are a week or 3 off :)

    And Dunsborough is in southern WA you yankee heathen :p
