Dear New Players
We would love to have you on board. If you're not sure, have a look around the place. Or read through the basic information below. Please remember to check out all teams before making a decision as you will be unable to change clubs during the season (outside of trade period).
Signing up is easy.

New Player Information:
Do you want to play footy from your couch? then this is for you!
The Sweet FA is a fantasy football league running on BigFooty forums. The teams consist of players who are forum members, actual people such as You and your friend Kevin but not Steve. The league started in 2001 and - at the time of this thread - is about to finish its 22nd season and start the 23rd season early in the new year.
The matches are decided by a text simulator called Qooty (Quick Footy). The matches play out are entirely random. The simulator produces a text transcript of commentary, provides statistics, and maintains a season. Results here are determined entirely by the random number generating functions of a computer.
Example of how the sim works.
The sim generates statistics from the game so you can chat about your performance:

How does all this work
The viability/success/growth of the league is normally agreed to centre around "activity" amongst the player base. That is to say, banter, boasting, excuse-making, big calls, dares, and any form of drama that makes the environment an interesting, amusing and perhaps volatile one for participants. Approaches vary from taking one's performance very seriously to putting oneself down at every opportunity.
Each match has its own thread where pre-match banter is key. The games will be posted in there on Sundays in post-form. Each team has its own thread also for in-house discussion ranging from SFA to absolutely anything like TV shows and sports.
Just like in a real-life league, each season culminates in a finals series, a Grand Final, and a set of awards. There is no reason not to feel a sense of prestige in any of these achievements. Clubs are always looking for new talent. While on-field performance is completely random, players whose real-life personas actively participate - posting regularly, adding value to the discussion and debate - are prized members of the Sweet FA community.
So If you think you have what it takes to be a qootballer - Please apply within.
