Discussion NAFL 2017-18 franchise bidding and discussion + one-off poll

[E92_]

Comp won't be starting till October-November*, I'm doing it this early to give everyone ample time to get their entries in.




How bidding will work this season:

• Everyone from last season has first choice.
• People from last season can use their current team or change their location, name or colours.
• People that had a team in a certain location last season will get priority for that location over people that had a different location last time.
• Teams only allowed in Australia and New Zealand.

VIC - 3 teams with at least one Melbourne based team.
WA - 2 teams
NSW - 2 teams
NZ - 2 teams
SA - 2 teams
QLD - 2 teams
TAS - 2 teams
ACT - 1 team
NT - 1 team

Second 3 Team location will be decided on popularity.






How your bids should look like:


Primary option:
South Australia
Location: Adelaide
Nickname: Heat


Secondary option:
Queensland
Location: Gold Coast
Nickname: Sharks


Tertiary option:
New Zealand
Location: Auckland
Nickname: Eels



Feel free to ask me anything about the comp.






*Possibly earlier if I get all the entries in before the cut-off date.

Cool mate, looking forward to half the entries coming on the due date anyway

 

[Dylan8]

Tossing up whether to stick with the same identity for another year running

Never done that in the nafl because I always bomb

Good luck with that bid. I'm hearing a 13 year old is the pick of the bunch.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

I'm thinking of outsourcing to a bunch of amateur graphic designers, then ignoring everything they do and getting my ten year old cousin to whip something up.

What could go wrong?

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

Bass Strait will not be returning in any way next season. New team, new colours, new opportunities

 

[Klim]

WA
Location: Perth
Nickname: Phoenix

Bid denied.

 

[Freight Train]

Perth Boomers will be back.

Possibly new colours.

 

[Gibbsy]

Bass Strait will not be returning in any way next season. New team, new colours, new opportunities

I always found it sort of amusing that a team could be represented by a body of water

Meanwhile, the Mount Isa Miners have built a strong legacy in the NAFL and will be returning yet again.

ASP will return- hopefully I can come up with a new twist to the chevrons this season otherwise you'll be seeing something very different to last season.

 

[Fizzler]

Can reserves bid here?

 

[Barrybran]

Can reserves bid here?

To piggy back on this, will the poll apply to Reserves as well? If so, what does a "location" jumper entail?

 

[E92_]

Yes.
