In loving memory of the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman I really wanted to name my team "The Pig ****s" but then thought this may offend some, or just be wildly inappropriate. Does it offend anyone?

When do we do the draft?

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Bulldog Ray was last online June 2013 so I'll leave his 1 spot open. 100action if you want to do it again, could you please let us know?

When do we do the draft?

As soon as possible after we get the full list - it's going to be a "slow" online draft meaning effectively you get two days to take your pick.

 

[100action]

ah sorry i wont be doing it this year

 

[threenewpadlocks]

No worries, that leaves 2 spots open for anybody new who wants to play - join quick!

Giving this a crack, signed up as avengers 2.0 taking the final spot in the league.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

DRAFT WILL BEGIN AT 8 AM EDST TOMMORROW, 9/2/14. YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO MAKE YOUR PICK, BUT THE COUNTDOWN ONLY RUNS FROM 8AM-8PM, EFFECTIVELY GIVING YOU 2 DAYS TO MAKE YOUR PICK. REMEMBER, THIS IS A KEEPER LEAGUE, YOU CAN KEEP ALL BUT 3 OF YOUR PLAYERS NEXT YEAR, SO YOUNG PLAYERS HAVE HIGHER VALUE THAN PROJECTED IN-GAME FOR JUST THIS SEASON

 

[threenewpadlocks]

doggies ftw you have first pick, make sure you're roaring to go!

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

doggies ftw I reckon you should take Leroy Jetta with your first pick, set for big things this year and beyond!

Hmm yeah I'm definitely considering him, bit hard to pass up Greenwood in the first round though
Seriously though, how does the scoring work in this? Similar to supercoach? Gotta make good use of the number 1 pick! Makes it interesting how its a keeper league so you have to take age into account.

Basically you have to win on the stats sheet. All your players' stats add up (kicks, handballs, disposals, frees against, frees for, goals, behinds and a couple others) to give you a team total for each of these stats, which is compared against your opponent's totals for the respective stat. You are then given a point for each stat you win; if, for example, you have 109 total disposals to 71 or something, you get a point. There are nine stats IIRC, so you have to win more than your opponent.

Sorry, should have explained this to all the new players, it's a category based scoring system.

What there is, is 9 categories. Score, Scoring accuracy percentage or just %, Kicks, Handballs, Marks, Hitouts, Tackles, FF, FA. You total up your entire team, for each individual category, and if you win 5 or more categories you win overall.

I reckon it's a better system then just a points system - there's 9 factors to take into an account with players.

So........Whats the draft order then?

Thanks for the replies Dannnnnnnnnn and threenewpadlocks, looking forward to it!
