Agree. We need to have even numbers and I also reckon if we still want to start the PSD on the 11th, then the 15th and 16th Franchises need to be confirmed prior to Thursday, 7th Jan.
Getting the last pick in the PSD, you could say that Maralinga 'bombed' out........ and if we go with 14 teams, and insider has Pick 1, just like the original ORFFU PSD where he also had Pick 1, then I might suggest that there's been some 'insider trading' evident...

That goes for the draft, but more importantly finding coaches that are genuinely interested - I highly doubt too many are lurking around this time of year. </div> I do my finest work lurking in the background!
I don't really do 'veiled' tth, I'm more of a sledgehammer sort of guy. Regardless I'm happy to make up the numbers or continue to lurk. Depends on what y'all settle for as the league size and then how many that are keen.
I favour 'movement' rather than delists. My ideal is 26 in a squad, minimum 4 movements required in the off/pre season. This can be in the form of delisting OR trading; so long as there are at least 4 differences in the end.

Hi All As previously posted on the TS Blog http://tooserious.net/Blog/tabid/90/P...we are looking to kick off with a new comp in 2016. As of today we have 13 people who have expressed interest in joining up anthak Bear DamoH grav Illuminati Len PHIL port_leschenault stowie TTH thokash tyze1 ViQBoZ some of these have indicated they are happy to be involved in order to make up the numbers before handing over to someone else at a future point in time For those of you on the list please contribute to the discussion here or monitor it weekly if at all possible If you aren't on this list but wish to join up feel free to let us know below and pm me your email address as well Cheers TTH

I have a suggestion for a name for the new Competition........ORFFF....... Outer Regional Football Fantasy Federation (Sports federations, each of which serves as a non-governmental governing body for a givensportand administers itssportat a world level, most often crafting rules, promoting thesportto prospective spectators and fans, developing prospective players, ...)
Great work keeping this rolling TTH, some initial thoughts below on your topics. New comp name to be decided (asap)- Not fussed, I like the regional name concept used for league and teams. 'Rules' to be discussed - Loosely based on the current leagues makes sense, enough variation in them to create discussion All coaches to indicate what interest they have in contributing to league organisation and admin and any periods of extended unavailability so that we can form a Commisioner/Committee set up to oversee operations through to the end of the 2016 Season - Happy to help where required, prefer to assist than manage anything Approximate Drafting Format and Dates to be determined- We might want two drafts, one to partially fill teams and then another prior to season start to focus on AFL draftees, though doing both as one would be interesting and add variety. Final Number of Teams to be determined - not fussed but even number preferred to avoid weekly byes Team Names and Blogs on TS - I have had a name ready for weeks Re the keeping a team or minding it, I would be keeping the one I start.
