    We can now announce the draft orders!

    We still need 6 more coaches to run our 3rd league! If any of you know someone who might like to join, please get them to post a comment here in this thread to let us know.

    Keep in mind that the ESPN leagues aren’t set up yet, so some coaches will be in the wrong league at present.
    We will set up the leagues and send out the league invites over the next week.

    The below draft orders are correct.

    As soon as we’ve sent all league invites and set draft orders, we’ll turn on the draft pick trading.


    Premier:

    1. Esther
    2. bgt2110
    3. nicksnow
    4. Rad_E_Cool
    5. stowie
    6. crossy
    7. karlos
    8. tasho
    9. HEAVER
    10. Bearfly
    11. dmandrews
    12. Jay Sumz


    Div 1:

    1. dudbloke
    2. InVossWeTrust
    3. uniao
    4. Sparks
    5. churchboy
    6. anthak
    7. costak
    8. Lethal
    9. Jet
    10. Jasmine
    11. The Royals
    12. KAT4MVP


    Div 2:

    1. Len
    2. Leftover_Laksa
    3. Jacob Doole
    4. Lano24
    5. Nate Raymond
    6. Danners
    7. headmandude
    8. Don_Cottagers
    9. tyze1
    10. Eggrobber
    11. Kaleb

    New coaches will take the below spots by draft order. For example, the first new coach to express interest will get pick #2, and the next will get pick #3 and so on.

    Any of the existing 6 coaches who recommit will get their own pick. If it has already been taken by a new coach then they will get the next highest available pick.

    2. @James84
    3. @Jacob Doole
    5. @Nate Raymond
    6. @Danners
    10. @Eggrobber
    12. @Stephan616

    Jacob is in now too.
    And I have heard anecdotally through others that both @Nate Raymond and @Eggrobber are both in, but I'd ideally like to hear from them directly if possible.
    So, it looks like we only have one spot left to fill, that one holding pick #2!

    Awesome, no worries mate. You’re in.

    That leaves 1 spot remaining and I was talking to someone last night who’s keen to take it. I need to confirm they’re (too) serious about it.

    All league invites have been sent.
    The draft orders are now correct and I have reversed from round 3 onwards.
    The Divisions and fixture are set up.

    All should be ok now.
    Please let me know if anyone sees a mistake.

    yes I have sent them all, including one to you. Maybe I have the wrong email address though, but check your junk etc and send me a pm of your email address if you cant find the invite.

    Hey Ant has there been a change in the scoring system? Averages for players from last years numbers have lost about a point and a half

    Yes, ESPN didnt recognise when players fouled out last season so we lost the -5 for DQs, so we've adjusted the scoring system to -0.5 for each personal foul instead of -5 for a DQ, but DQ is now -2 in case they reimplement DQs again (6 personal fouls will = -3).
