Spoiler: How does the league function?

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.

​

Feel free to sign up and enjoy the league with all the other BigFooty posters! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them in this thread.
