OK so we now have DT SC and VS comps covered in the 15's comps, worlds, euro's and english.
I play the sportsbet comp which has proven to be reliably run yearly now and certain other FF members play it as well.
I am willing to mirror the english comp and run it, happy to have a partner/s in running it.
The sportsbet comp is probably the MOST different in scoring methods making for a very different competition.
The main difference being 12 points for goals, it is likely to be the only comp that see's key forwards rated higher or at least as highly as mid/fwd types.
Also 6 points for a tackle makes certain players more valuable again in this comp.
4 points for a mark and a kick, makes the defensive link men valuable, and only 1 point for a free kick FOR.
The question is how many 15's are too many? Given only coaches with the time and will to enter a new one would I don't see an issue with having 4. Covers all the regular AFL fantasy competitions run annually.
So THOUGHTS?
Anyone interested in the creation and participation in a Sportsbet based Asian 15's.
Would look at running a similar draft schedule to the English comp with a relaxed, slow start-up with a view to accelerate the draft ONLY once the national draft draws near, to ensure the draft got completed before the national.
Nothing any different to the other 15's comps except based on Sportsbet.
Kick 4 Points
Handball 2 Points
Mark 4 Points
Tackle 6 Points
Free Kick For 1 Point
Free Kick Against -3 Points
Hitout 1 Point
Goal 12 Points
Behind 1 Point
Post if you are interested in taking part.
Post is you are seriously opposed to the comp existing at all.
May be worth advertising in the forums in the coaches section to see if "new 15's" coaches are interested if the existing coaches of existing 15's teams are already doing enough and aren't interested.
We will see what the general feeling is on the addisiton of a fourth 15's and go from there.

I might offer to pay someone to make a new one if this gets up took me ages to do mine and it's dodgey as :)
Lol!.. ill giv it a crack, i asked everyone the other day if anyone would want me to do it coz i like doin it, but it kinda got lost in the thread.
Also maybe we could consider having a smaller league? Easier to fill and more players in the draft, i reckon 8 could be good..
Reading through it again, I'll help you run it.
I recommend no co-coaches, cause I hate that.
yeah i don't mind there being co coaches and assistants but should we end up setting rules for the draft as in time for turns guys with co coaches might have to both be able to independantly pick when they are up, but as long as whatever time frame for drafting everyone agrees on is followed it doesnt really matter.
I will look into software for drafting may be able to get a live draft up for this comp, even if it just a couple of hours at a time on agreed dates it would be smoother than the slow type and if we delay the start long enough to give people time to prepare full lists of their player rankings by position then the time they need to pick would be greatly decreased.

8 might be too few as in too many players each side but guess that doesnt matter still best 15 play, but open to any modifications / changes from the existing worlds formats.
I'll be assistant if someone chooses Indonesia. Cbf running another team though.
Interested, but don't think I have the time to run a team. Happy to be an assistant though. Drafting is fun :). And i agree, we should only have 8(well less teams, i don't know how many). It'll be easier to draft and do everything, and everyone gets better players. Wouldn't have to wait so long for your turn either.
Im in, KoopKicka - Mongolia =)
Hey colli, I am against this competition. We have just started up the Euro's and people (such as whatlez) have already said that they are getting bored. Does he need another team? Sorry for using you as an example whatlez, did not mean anything personal. Then, there will be new people on the site at the end of next year who may become really active and want to take part in a 15's comp. Whatlez has had a rise in just half a year really which has been great (counter-acting with something nice :P) but if someone else does this next season, I doubt anyone will want to make another 15's comp. It will allow new coaches and new active players a chance to get a 15's team if you start this one at the end of the following year.
Just my 2 cents, but I wish you best of luck however you go about it :)
makes sense spite will give it time to see where everyone stands.
I guess "people" that lose interest can hand over teams to the new up and coming active coaches.
on a side note, i think Whatlez is just annoyed at the forum changing and the draft slowing, doubt he has totally lost interest in the thing, just experiencing a "low" coming of the back of his drafting "high" :)
This is why i want feedback tho, it can start in 2013 or not depending on how everyone see's it.
I agree with spite. Shelve this one until next season :P
Im interested in joining.
Count me in Colli. Put me down for The Filo pastries or The Manilla Buy a Bride's or maybe The Philipine Balut. Anyway it will be the Phils.
No need for a 4th comp. This is just getting out of hand!
Delay it guys. Come 2014 it will be a focus. ATM most will lose interest.
I agree with maca and spite. THe only reason these comps keep getting made is because people like to do the drafting part of it. People need to remember that is just a tiny part of the whole competition, but they don't. once they get bored of just setting teams each week with no trading or drafting they decide it's time to make a new competition

This. If you want to draft then just set up a draft game. Plus the board is getting raped with crap.
Happy for another competition myself (won't be joining it), but think you should start drafting AFTER this season starts, when the AFL clubs have finalised there lists. Think the English made a mistake starting it so early...

I have to agree with Ossie here. The draft process doesn't take as long as the English people think. There is a whole lot of nothing after the draft and trade periods.

As I said I am opposed, but if you do go ahead and make it, I agree with waiting till the season finishes before drafting
We really need different boards for each comp. it's starting to get out of hand.
I did say I lost interest in DT.
Like I'm out trades, byes are over and meh, don't really care.
I didn't say I lost interest in Euros or Englishs.
Also I have more things coming up soon, so yeah.

Why? This board has threads from 2 days ago on this page. PLayers and Trades are lucky to last 10 minutes on the first page
Well, tbh I am opposed to this.
My reasons and IMO:
1) People have had THREE opportunities to get teams in either the Worlds, Euro's and English now, and Ive seen very active assistant coaches that seem to do more work than the real coach, meaning that if people really want to be a part of it, they can be an active in an existing team. Now i am fully aware that people may not have known or are new to the forum that would love to participate, but this child board is getting ridiculously messy.
2) Maybe, if people with currently two or even three teams dont want another comp, perhaps they could share their teams. Or we could have a rule were every team, including myself, who doesn't have an assistant coach MUST get one if someone wants to be a part of it. But again, that doesnt guarentee them much say in the team, but i believe having more people involved in the current three competitions would be better than having a fourth.
OR, but i highly doubt this will happen, we could get two child boards, one ofr Worlds and Euros, one for the other two.
I'm interested in coaching a team in here.
I say rather stack up interest in 3 rather then spread it with 4.

Yeah i'm not sure on how active coaches in euro's or worlds are or are not, i am an assistant to a coach of a team but he only has asked me to pick the team twice this season which i was happy to do, other than that, the assistant coach role has basically been nothing more than my name on his team next to assistant coach.
Don't really think it is relevant what is going on in the other comps?
Agree new coaches may want to participate and see no reason why they can't.
Assistant coaches are required to do what other than choose the run on side each week once the season starts?
As for the boards getting crowded i really can't see any issue with just posting the comps in different areas if it bothers euro or worlds coaches it doesnt need to have english or any new comp in the same board.
The overwhelming majority of oppinion to this point seems to be against a new comp, mainly due to crowded boards and a possible lack of interest in continuing with the new or existing comps?
The rule for this comp and what should be the rule for ANY comp, is if the coach goes missing in action or loses interest his team is taken over by the administrator of the league and appointed to either his assistant or a new willing coach. Fixes any issues of lack of interest or work.
The main advantage to having the 2 new competitions is also got to be seen as attracting new players to the two "other" fantasy football games, spreadding FF dominance throughout the AFL Fantasy football world.
Still if the Euro and Worlds coached have enough valid and strong opposition to the new comps this is why i posted an expression of interest and discussion thread instead of just arrogantly going off and starting it straight up.
while we have 8 coaches willing to play already we also have a ton of votes against the comp existing so more time maybe to discuss...
yeah, that's basically the major issue- over crowding, and lack of interest. You're going to be hard pressed to find enough active people to take the helm of the teams (who aren't already participating in ueros, world or english). The over crowding is a big one- despite what os says about paralleling it to players and trades, he's basically wrong :P
firstly os, because players and trades is a supplement and advice forum for DT/ SC, not the actual competition itself. It'd get pretty annoying if you had to scroll 5 pages back to go find your dreamteam in order to name a team for the week. Which pretty much leads me onto my second point, for P&T, you don't flip back looking for topics, if you need to find lets say a topic about broughton, you check maybe the first one or two pages, then just make a new topic if nothings on. But it'd be ridiculous to have a similar method for euros and worlds- 'I can't find the valkyries page, so I'll just make a new one.'
I dunno why os is so opposed to new child boards :P
ftr though, I think extra competitions will just detract from the ones going atm. Let those garner interest, then launch AXV for the 2014 season or something :P
For teams what do we count as Asia? Can I take Australia? :p

Colli, Sorry i haven't asked much from you. Not much to do during season. you, Sprinkling and JB can be my trade organizers come End of Season though. might ask something from you now. Check your PMs soon.
@ Torpedo10 - It wasn't a complaint, and i feel i should help more but as i've said to you in the past just PM me anything you need and i'll help out where i can.
Certainly not unhappy you haven't asked much of me quite the opposite - point i was manking is it is your team and you made it, maintained it and compete with it, so the COACH is really the one that has to be active and "invested" in the competition.
The assistants are people willing to help but probably are not as invested in what is going on, for example i have no idea where your team is on the ladder or anything else at all to do with it :) not even sure if its euros or worlds :)
Just trust me i wan't complaining about you just making a point about assistant coaches.
Anyway certainly as per above post we won't do anything with Asians..... until the concerns of the Euro's and World's coaches are addressed to most of thier satisfaction
* Anyway certainly as per above post we won't do anything with Asians..... until the concerns of the Euro's and World's coaches are addressed to most of thier satisfaction :)
respect to the other comps is essential I don't want a bunch of angry FF Members hating us for existing, if we get it right, time it right, maybe find a seperate home for it on the boards, and don't steel thier coaches maybe we can get it up with everyone happy.

You have good points Ziplock - but you can't claim over crowding AND lack of interest. If there is lack of interest, there won't be overcrowding.
Each week, you will have:
- A team thread, where results are posted also
- A ladder thread, which are stickied.
- Random threads
- People only update there own team threads sporadically, which are linked through directories that are stickied anyway.
So basically, we're asking for separate boards for 3 active topics per week per comp :/
BUT, if everyone wants, I can move all the English threads out of the WORLD XV section if you guys are finding it tough.
@Colliwobblers, I'm all for the Asian comp. Not really sure why people are against it :/
OK Ossie, probably don't want thier existing comps diluted by the new comp, i understand that expected it and would aim to ensure that didn't happen, still the coaches in the euros and worlds should be right into it and stay into it or hand teams over and no other comp should be ABLE to take away from those existing comps.
If you are setting up a seperate boards for the english maybe the asians can go in there also to save you making double.
The more boards the more admin.....
I will continue to get feedback and look at potential new coaches and the guys already expressing interest and willTRY to make sure we have things setup to keep the existing comps coaches happy.
* The bottom line is the EURO and WORLD comps will ALWAYS be the "premium prefered" comps,
1. They were there first.
2. MAINLY - they are based on fantasy comps DT and SC with about 5000 times the participants of the fantasy competitions in VS and Sportsbet that the English and Asian comps are proposed to be based on.

Definitely, but i tend to agree with oz.
Anyway, doesn't matter.
I think it would be awesome if you could click on say, "15s competitions", which would be under Other AFL comps, and it would then bring up your 4 competitions on different boards
What i mean to say, is you know how when you click "AFL", which is just under General sports discussion, and it comes up with the 18 clubs all under different boards, well i think it would be cool if it was like that with the 15s competitions, just bringing up the four competitions, (not the proposed 72 clubs of course :P)
Why not hav 18 feidl man 2 bench (or something) teams and make it a maximum number for the squad?
Maybe 3 emerg and a sub, then if one of ur fielded players scores under say..... 15-20 the sub scores comes into affect?
just to but in one more time :D... why is everyone coming on here saying they don't want another competition, there's already 3 blah blah.. ur not being asked to run it, ur not being forced to be in it, so just mind your own business. And as for clogging up the boards, for this comp we should have 1 thread for teams and every teams just has 1 post each to put their teams in and not clogg it up with chat... i get i'm new on here and i'll probly get boo'd but i don't really care.
@CW: for the league why not make some changes to the format (as my previous posts said).. making it differant would be more fun and make it more interesting i think, it dosn't have to be Asia's 15's could be Asia's Best or something else.
8 teams makes it an awesome boutique comp with a cap on squad, will leave an awesome list of players for a 'un-contracted' draft and yeah everyone will get better players but EVERYONE will get better players and there's always injuries and them it comes down to depth in your squad. we could have a mid season draft or trade for the un-contracted players, i reckon you could make it pretty fun.
why have the same rules as the other leagues?

wow a massive 20 votes in total, dont see how that would influence any decision made...
Keen to be involved Colli. Do like some of Monstrum's ideas though - reckon there should be some thought on how the new comp could be different.
Reckon you are spot on though about holding on until there is agreement. You probably won't get a complete consensus, but some discussion around the best way to make it work is healthy.
It is not really up to anyone i guess whether we do this or not :)
I simply thought it best to RESPECT the guys involved in and running the existing 15's and make sure everyone was as happy as "possible"before rushing in and setting up a new comp.
Ossie is probably the oppinion I value most which is possitive so, looking good, but if it takes a seperate board or a few little things taken on board from the existing comps coaches well that can be arranged and everyone can be happy.
Looking like the best thing is to get guys into the new comp that are either new to the 15's or are doing everything they have to be doing in the other comps so can't be thought to be abandoning duties in the other comps. OAnd or assistants from the other comps looking to step up and take ownership of a team for themselves which is unlikely to happen in the other comps as they obviously already have coaches for all the teams.
And certainly seems a lot of opposition would be eliminated by seperating the competitions on seperate boards.
As a newish FF member I always feel it appropriate to consult and respect existing and longer term members before doing anything significant. Not to say we won't do it anyway if the overall response in the end is more possitive than negative, but hopefuly along the way we can address and overcome most peoples objections and concerns.

Agree once we get past all the objections :) and get enough interested people we can discuss and vote in the end on all the different options for rules teams ect. ect.
Also if this goes ahead, I could advertise it to others.
I messaged someone like Monstrum or Pickers for example.
If I didn't message them about English's I'm not sure if either of them would of found this board and would be currently participating.
I think if you actually message people who you think would be interested who don't view these boards they might and get more interested in a game like this.
Also if Sprinking didn't bring up career DT on the front bar, he would be one of those people who still woudn't even know about these boards. My point is if this compeition goes through, I could ask peopel I know from the DT boards and maybe someone who goes on the SC boards heaps, they could message and invite some of there friends to see if they are interested.
You can put me down as a maybe if it helps getting final numbers. Depends on final involvement in English at the moment.
What do ppl think about ...
having a capped squad?
Implementing some sort of sub rule?
If this competition goes ahead, which it looks like it will and thats fine by me, you sure have a good manager in Colliwobblers! Love that your suggesting and discussing this comp instead of just going ahead and doing (not accusing anyone of course).
I suppose in the end its Colliwobblers decision, because this is a forum for everybody and everyone is entitled to do pretty much what they like.
And btw, since this is a forum for everybody and people are already involved in the World 15s child board, it IS their business that a new competition is coming, and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
If ur reffering to my comments i was simply saying if people are not interested in the comp why bother coming on the thread and being negative towards it, because they have no interest does make it nothing to do with them. People should embrace expansion of what has become a popular idea. Not be opposed to it because their personal needs are already met.
because, we don't want a detrimental impact on the other comps, as its been stated, either a lack of interest, or over clogging of the forums.
I'm interested to know how many people who want to participate aren't already involved in worlds, euros or english? I really don't think that people should be coaching more than 1 team...

A lot of people already have 2 Zip, some i believe have 3. The extra comp is hardly going to change that.
@zip: i dont think many r new ppl, thats y i suggested massive rule changes
yeah, look, tbh, if they was a large amount of new people interested, I wouldn't have a problem with it (I'd still be a bit filthy about the forum clogging but I'd suck it up.). But heaps of people with multiple teams is just going to degrade competitions already running, even if there's a significant rule overhaul (which I personally dont think there should be, as it'd just be confusing).
I say shelve this idea, this time last year we didnt have people like lez, wobbles, fark (wherever the flower he went :P ) etc. I think, in a year we'll probably have another influx of new people keen to play, and then setting up a competition can be justified. If you don't currently have a team, and would like to participate, just put your hand up to the mtty, os and holz who run the other comps, and if a coach pulls out, you might get put in that way.
I agree 100% with zip.
Like he said, if there was a HEAPS of people wanting to do it, then I have no problem whatsoever. So IMO i think a 2014 start to this comp might be the order, when there would be new, passionate and very committed FF members doing this (even though there are currently a handful).
TBH, i think i've lightened to this comp a bit..... messiness doesn't matter, if your looking for a topic, just look harder :)

Poll results speak for itself :-X
wow a massive 20 votes in total, dont see how that would influence any decision made...
there is now 25 votes. Also, how many people are actually involved regularly in this board?? 50 max i reckon, probably less.
i would love to have a crack. Only discovered ff in the last few months and not a huge poster, but to have my own team whould be fantastic. i could be the the asian version of GWS. I submit my team as the yemen saints
Im happy to support the idea if a strong majority of the coaches are not head coaches of a team in one of the other 3 leagues. If that takes a few months than thats what should happen. Definately wouldnt want it to start drafting this year, as others have said at least wait till the end of the football season.
I actually like reading these drafts and banter going on, even with English which I'm just an assistant under Boomz in which I do nothing besides be the mascot...
I agree with others, getting new managers involved would be great :D. So starting it later this year is probably best like what Ossie said earlier after lists have been finalised.
I am open for an assistant spot if anybody needs :). If you guys want to start drafting this season and not enough coaches have joined, willing to take a spot. But if another coach comes along and wants a team, I can hand it over as already have a Euro's/World's :). That was can please people already in if they want it soon, while also helps somebody who misses out if they come across this later on. Just an idea.

yeah mate i'm the same, plenty of time though
@hellopplz: any suggestions on team name?.. i'm thinkin China Chop Stix
Chinese Pandas :D. I have no idea on names so your choice :P. My teams so far are the Parisian Nice Lyon Reindeers and the Iceland Poalr Bears. As you can tell, I'm a genius for sensible names :P.
we'll be the Chinese Pandas <---- we'll go with pandas
I guess I would like to give it a go. IS there plans for any different rules to the other 15 comps other than the scoring system?
Yeh there is mate, i was talkin to CW bout it i put a few ideas up i think we're just going to make some group decisions on the rules, get everyones input and see what we come up with

Sounds good, if there are a few changes I would definitely like to join up.
yeah well thats what i thought there's no point in having all the same rules..
some of my ideas were, having a sub player, so maybe if one of ur blokes on the field gets injured or if a player scores un 10 or something then u'd get ur subs score (something anyway).. a cap on the squads, possibly more than 15 on the field.. they're all just ideas though everyone should put up and suggestions they have
Can't pick team names now, cause I want a good one :P
Turkmekistan Chickens?
season should be over and lists finalized by the time we finalize coaches, teams and rules.
the longer it is left the more we can get it all right and make everyone happy.
But once enough coaches are listed as sure entrants we can start the "neogtiations" on rules dates ect. ect.
My team name will be the Turkish Goitered Gazelles or the Turkish Serotine. Haven't decided yet.
Starting after the lists are finalised and the season is finished would be much better.
So do you want me to ask around?
Like I said before, Monst and Pickers might of missed English's if I didn't ask them to play.
that would be good Whatlez coaches have to be dedicated tho as you know there will be drafts and if this waits till after the season it needs coaches to be active on FF AFTER THE SEASON.
but the general consensus seems like new blood is welcome, still I see no reason why coaches with another team in a 15's comp can't be in this, if they have 2? not sure...
hard to say no to anyone who is doing everything right inthe comps they are already in but understand the desire to bring new people in too, so we will just have to sort it all out over the next couple of months and see who we get.

on the not picking teams, ok to express interest in a particular country? at this stage? we can always work out a way to draw teams if people end up really wanting the same country closer to the start date.
so at this stage teams are just a part of expressing an interest in the comp and the team/country - not set in stone yet in case of multiple interest in the one country - then we will have to sort that out too later on ???

let me know if i have missed anyone who said they are interested, coaches listed in second post on front page, think i have them all so far.
Will fill a spot for you if needed. Would prefer to let other coaches not involved in other comps to have first bite at this one to increase exposure accross FF but as I said OK to fill if needed.
Oh yeah btw, I don't have any friends to invite lol.
I did before, but they are all either involved or part of English's
all good we got plenty of time, my concern with "new coaches" is a lack of interest once started as at least with older and existing coaches they know what is expected.
@ Ringo - Thanks Ringo. :)
Any one of you coaches want to join the Seoul-Russia-Nottingham alliance? Just a group where we help each other out if needed, but will mostly keep to ourselves.
Only criteria is you can't be heavily involved in either the Worlds, Euros or English comps

good call
It seems no one else will join. Let Ringo be the 14th and final coach and start the draft anytime.
14 sounds like a good number for the comp. On the time of the draft, would it be better to do it after English is finished or wait until the season and trade week is done so we know more about the players we are drafting?
Why such a rush? There will be delistings, retirements, sackings, positional changes.....
I think it would be best to start to draft after the teams put out there final list for the 2013 season, Before the National Draft. This includes as Ossie said "delistings, retirements, sackings, positional changes"
trying to work out positional changes for the English draft is bloody hard! half my forward line could become mids so waiting till all those things are known would be the way to go
yeah im a big fan of what NOZ and Pickers say :)

Maybe this is where we look at possibly doing a live draft then or really strict time rules.
yeah we are going to have a few decisions to make soon, on draft rules and time frame and start time as well as any game rule mods on existing comps.

nah i made up a better name now :)
If we can all follow the rules i believe we can finish this draft in 1-2 weeks, Much earlier then the other 3 drafts.
- Time limit for each round
- If you are late on a pick, Skip them and they can pick as soon as they get on
- Penalise the coaches who continue to abuse the time system
- If you know your going to be away for your next pick, PM a trusty FF member
- If you have a co-coach and they are helping you with your selections talk in advance, Not as soon as your pick is here

Both higher than the rest of the competition had predicted. (even was given a premiership threat tag in euros once)
Don't forget spoon favourite in English :p

G'day colli! Appreciate the time being taken to start up the comp! I would love to be part of it, whenever you decide on the starting date :) i have never done a '15s' comp before but I think I would really enjoy it and would love to have a team from day 1 one of the comp. Love the idea of having a team I could build up over time! Obviouslyy id have to get used to the 'sportsbet' scoring system, but it isnt to different to sc/dt right?
Pencil me in for a team mate :)
it's not massively different, you get a lot of points from goals though :P

Head Coach: Jayman
Assistant Coach: PowerBug
Keen for a 2013 start. And looking forward to entering my first '15s' comp :)
Due to my taking over the Head Coach at the London Royals and at the Swansea Breakers I feel I can not give time for a third coaching role so will not now be available for a coaching position. I will however be available as assistant to any coach who would like an assistant.
Updated with Ringo as an assistant, hopefuly mine :)
PB assigned to Jay
This gives us 13 coaches confirmed to date, any thoughts on final numbers? 14?
Any thoughts on draft format / date as we should start thinking about when now as if it is prefered to start 2013 we need to give all coaches plenty of time to prepare for a draft date and format (if we decide to attempt a live draft style where all are on at a given time with timed picks)
I am happy to wait until English draft finishes, I am also happy to wait until after the season or even after the pre-season draft, however concerns with starting draft AFTER the season ends is coaches activity on FF??
Thoughts? and 14th coach or do we hold out for 16 - 18....
I think 14 coaches sounds like a good idea. That way we can pick the better players and have a more even competition.
Yep I agree with BB. 14 will give us better quality teams, more chance of playing finals etc. Also looks like most Coaches are pretty active so we should get through the draft quickly.
I'm assistant-less so if anyone is keen to be in my stable, let me know.
Yep 14 coaches. Draft = ASAP
Quote from: Jayman on July 20, 2012, 09:17:30 AM

Start as soon as englishs finish :)
R we doing a rules discussion?
Not involved in the competition, so feel free to ignore my opinion, but if you have 14 teams AND select every single player I think it makes the games too easy. That's almost 60 players per squad, with an average of 28 players per team playing every week....
Fair point. Would having a capped squad size of say 40 solve this?
Means there would be a lot of players running around who are not owned by any club :-\
We talked about this earlier, having capped squads, maybe the leftovers we could make free agents and hav a mid yr trade window, with an order or somthing.
We should make this league much differant i think.
Maybe a top 6 for the finals if its 14 teams
Yes Mr Oswald is correct. Capping has to be used or yes the squads will be way over powered.
yeh capping the squads was probly the first thing we mentioned right at the start of this, so thatll happen for sure :)
Cw let's try and get tominator to be sat coach. You message him :)
I was thinking a capped squad and possibly a rookie list where you can elevate players if you get a long term injury?
so initial draft of a squad (say 40 as example). then a draft of remaining players (say 6 as example) which will be your rookie listed players.
as in the real game the rookie listed players can stay on your rookie list for 2 seasons, be elevated for a LTI or elevated after the season (which means you delist a senior listed player from your 40 player squad), or be delisted after the first or second season in preference for a new player you draft in the following pre-season.
The capped "senior squad" and capped "rookie squad" will mean in the following seasons draft, you must DE-LIST players you have in order to draft players into your squads.
Obviously PRIOR - to the "ROOKIE" draft all teams will have to select in advance who they are DE-LISTING, so those players go into the pool to be drafted by other players.
I would suggest that the pre-season national draft of 18 year olds must go into teams senior lists, once this draft is done this is when the TEAMS DE-LIST players from thier "senior squads".
Then we do a ROOKIE draft which is of all players that remained in the pool from the year before + DE-LISTED players + undrafted national draft 18 year olds. ( again with TEAMS needing to de-list players on thier existing 6 man ROOKIE squad in order to fit new players from this "ROOKIE" draft into thier 6 man rookie squads.
THOUGHTS? on drafts, squad sizes, list rules.... ?
Sounds good cw :)
Reckon that's an excellent idea CW and creates a nice point of difference from the other comps.
I like 40 + 6 rookies. Just need to put down some specific rules around use of LTIs etc.

yeah like 4 sub 6 scores from a premium doesn't mean he has a broken leg and you can put him on your LTI injury list.... you have to actually go and BREAK his leg :)
i think mirroring the AFL / CLUBS LTI list is the way to go. We could do veterans also but that is too complicated I think best to keep it all as simple as possible.
Realistically a club has about 40 senior and 6 rookie listed players, from that senior squad they start 22.
So if we are going to start 15 we could have smaller senior squad but I think 40 is a fair number given the number of players we will all have that don't play EVERY game we will need a fair amount of backup week to week.
We can't change it once it is done so we don't want to end up with teams not being able to field a full squad.
there will have to also be trade period rules and windows discussed also
Sounds good. Will there be a window where u can elevate a rookie without having to hav an LTI just delist someone who's not performing?

this sounds like a good idea i like it will add it to the list of options to choose between when we start to narrow down the ideas.
no, no elevating rookies for underperforming players i say. Only for LTI's and after mid-season. However the AFl does it.
Im looking for an assistant in this at the moment. Please pm me if you would like to join what will be a champion club.

Dont mind it blue, will giv it some Serious consideration once we're up and running !
In consideration of the other worlds competitions and certain things that have come up in regards to format for the comp and rules, I am going to set up a thread with all the rules and the format for the Asian League competition.
I will take feedback for a certain period and make alterations to the format and rules where a majority of coaches agree to change anyhting i lay out in the set up format and rules.
Following the feedback period and any changes made the rules and format will be considered final and we will proceed with the initial draft at the agreed time and date in the agreed format.
I will add a link to this thread once I have the RULES / FORMAT thread setup. I will run this competition and we will have no need of a rules committee or anything as once set the rules and running of the competition will all be simply outlined and there will be no need for changes.
I will look at the other worlds compettitions for ideas on what is good about them and look to make certain changes for the Asians competition based on the feedback recieved to date and also feedback following the new thread.
watch this space.
here are the rules as suggested for the asian 15's competition, we now have 2 weeks to leave feedback on changes and improvements to the competition outlay and rules.
following two weeks of feedback and discussion i will put to the vote all poular changes and we will modify the rules and lock them in.
we will then decide on a date and format of the initial draft and set that.

this is blue, you guys don't search real well :)
will have to make sure he is still around and active ofcourse but he is real ;D
EZA100 = Your IN !
Not sure how the rest of you feel but I am happy to stretch the start of this out to attract new coaches such as EZA100, that said I am not sure how many will "find" this and join up?
Also think 16 teams is enough, think no draft beginning until at least after English draft, think the rules I laid out have not had much feedback so must be generally accepted by all as they stand?
Welcoming of all feedback, want everyone to be happy and have as much input as possible in structuring the comp, but also think once the rules are set there will be no need for any changes.
I believe the more new coaches the better in a way if we get more people that hasn't/isn't a current 15s coach I will gladly step aside and help out as either a assistant coach or help out anyway I can, Letting someone else take my place.
I've just been reading through these Asian/British/English 15's etc and it looks like good fun. Im interested in joining but it appears that theres no room left..

Anyone interested in an assistant role?
guess I'm not paying enough attention to some of these threads so I miss out on a bit, but I'd like to throw my hand in the ring for an assistants role!
well i will run the comp regardless so if we get enough "new" coaches i do have a team in British so....

if you are suggesting you want to be a coach just say the word, i can be your assistant if you want a team, it is a lot of work and commitment but i have a team as i said in the british comp so would be happy to run this and let new coaches to the worlds competitions take control of a team in Asians.
i think most coaches feel this way too, let us know if you want a team of your own we will work it out one way or another.
I'd love that CW ;D love to have a go
I've just joined sportsbet just so I could play the fantasy game and have a look at all the players ;D well I may want to have a bet next year but we'll just use it for scouting now!
I really should give up my team... But me and Holz have done so much already... :-\
Tbh I would prefer this comp over Englishs.
We want to be the Lao Elephants or someone Tigers.
Both will be reserved. Georgia is up for grabs.
As others have expressed interest in it, and I'm not overly attached to it - I'm relinquishing the Hong Kong team name and will take the name:
Russian Wolves
Russia?? It's not Euros...
Only a small part of Russia is in Europe. Most is in Asia.

this is correct even though I would say its a European country, technically most of its land mass is part of the Asian continent. You should be able to pick places like Israel too.
Though Russia is in the Euros comp.... I don't think it should be in both.

Hey Colli, just wondering when the draft will be and what the order of the draft will be?
draft is yet to be advised but will not be before the british draft finishes so we have a while to wait yet.
order will be randomised on random.org, authenticity of this will be confirmed with all or several other coaches.
Overwhelming sentiment is suggesting I remain coach of a team in this comp, fear is I may lose interest otherwise...
that would not happen being old and responsible but i will however stick to coaching a team.
I have several coaches who have expressed interest that have not been active for a bit and I need to confirm them as coaches of a team and be satisfied that ALL coaches expressing interest in this comp will meet the standards of activity required before finalising the list of coaches and teams.
So I will continue to add to the list of "interested" coaches and will perform a cull if neccessairy before we get started.
This said I have added tbagrocks to the list of "interested" coaches taking the list to 17. This is not to say we will have more than 16 teams however, the final list of coaches and teams will be finalised in the coming weeks.
The fact we will be performing drafts and possible trade periods outside of the AFL season will be a significant factor and deterant when "interested" coaches have a full understanding of what is required.
more to come...

I will begin a process to cull coaches if neccessairy in the next few days so we can start to finalise the list of teams, I will also get the poll up and finalise the rules that are in question in the next few days.
I will be posting a complete list of every AFL listed player and there scores for the Sportsbet comp for season 2011 prior to the draft, to assist coaches in drafting players, both in having a complete list available to work from as well as having the scores for Sportsbet there for those unfamiliar with the rankings in this competition.

I do not agree with this... This was my advantage...
mine too :) but everyone can log onto the site and check anyway can't they?
Maybe I can list all the players and not include scores> seems more proffessional to have a complete list ahead of the draft however and will surely serve to speed the drafting process.
pretty keen on a draft order so PB and I can start planning...
Damn it British, hurry up!
I will send a PM out soon which will be for coaches "interested" to confirm thier interest. It will also request email address from any prepared to give it.
The reason for the email is so I can enter all the emails into random.org
this way when i randomly generate the draft order the site emails the draft order to all listed emails.
thus confirming the authenticity of my random draft....
otherwise i could just go - 1. me , then pick the rest of you out of my hat :)
Don't worry I'm sure LuEy will be available at whichever pick you have in the first round :P
I'm really loving the 'Yokohama Dragons'. Don't know if anyone has got a team in China or a team with Dragons

Could use names/emails of current coaches registered
Then if any pull out a new coach fills in that coach's spot and gets their picks. I'm happy to wait though, just pretty eager to find out our picks...
like pick 1 - pick Pendles/Ablett part of planning
or pick 15 - pick luey
lol
Are we going snake or not snake? I'm hoping I get pick 1 and it's not snake lol.

one of the guernsey templates you find on google will link you to a forum thread on bigfooty, it is one of those that is the proper template which has built in layers for photoshop.

Quote from: whatlez on August 09, 2012, 11:32:10 PM
Hey cw, I am just wondering.,, how are we going to draft so quickly?
so quickly?
as in how fast are we going to draft once we start?
or
how soon are we going to start the draft?
* As for how fast are we going to draft, well hopefuly a hell of a lot faster than the British.
I think it best to set a time and date to start the draft where everone thinks they can be on and we can get stuck into it. If everyone is on at a reasonable hour of the day when the draft is set to start we should be able to knock over at least 10 rounds within a couple of hours.
then we will probably have to revert to the same style of drafting as the British. But given the season is likely to be over or close to when we start drafting if we don't all get on and draft quickly it will mean we are all having to come on every day to check the draft and make a pick in the offseason.
I think if we have a pre-prepared list up of every player and scores it will make picking and crossing players off the list very easy so should speed the process up significantly.
IDEALLY
I would set 2, 3 ,4 or 5 time slots where we ALL have to be online and take picks at 2 minute intervals. this like a live draft would get the draft over and done with in 2 3 or 4 or 5 blocks of drafting and involve the least amount of time spent following up on the draft. As in the British where every day you have to log on find out where the draft is up to, then find out who has been picked, then find out who you want, then pick, or not pick because its not up to you yet......
The draft process and date will be top of the list of things to decide on before we begin

I really cannot see this happening.
Yeah that's answered my question on what I was asking... Yeah drafting in the off-season is going to be a Paine in the arse tbh... So get it done in the finals (which is when everyone should be online)
I like the 2 minute intervals idea, but how would that work? On a chat room? If something goes wrong then everything will be lost...
5 minutes maybe, but even if started now at the rate the british has taken the asian still wouldnt be finished by end of finals done that way
I am not someone who likes to be rushed, and thus i am all for the 24 hour rule to be in place from the beginning, but not a 5 minutes rule, that is ridiculous.
I would say, don't participate if you do want follow the rules.

so you are saying that you are happy to log onto the site every day after this season is over to participate in the draft?
because if we start after the British draft is finished in the same format of 24 hour picks we will still be going in October long after the season is finished.
can you count on 16 coaches to be online right accross the offseason until the draft is completed.
and as for the being rushed part, all fantasy football leagues online are done with live drafts that involve as a general rule 90 second picks all at once.
i am not saying htat is what we are going to do, WE are all going to have to DECIDE what we are going to do, but you tell me what happens when one or more coaches decides they have better things to do than log onto FF every night after the AFL season is over just to see who's pick it is in a "snail" draft ?
I'll follow the rules ;D haha, what an idiot I am for not discovering this thread a month ago ::) check my stats! joined April and on for 28 days ??? well I have no life (currently) has taken me this long ( the last few weeks) to discover the forums full potential!
I love my footy and relish a chance at taking on the FF (especially Whatlez, coming for ya) would just love to take a team on and am very very sorry I didn't get in earlier!

haha, good one. (P.S. this draft will be done by me, and we'll be taking Jordie McKenzie with our 1st pick, if anyone takes him in rd 1, i'll delete my FanFooty account and never return)
my thoughts on the randoming of the draft instead of messing around and getting emails i could just get someone responsible like Os to go to random.org once we finalise the teams for this comp and he can generate the random order and just post it for us?
saves a lot of messing around for me and also ensures everyone involved knows it is a genuine random draft order.
I am sure it is obvious but just incase the draft will snake. repeat drafting will only occur in the drafts after the first complete season (national,pre-season/rookie).
All drafts ahead of the first season will snake for the sake of fairness and evenness.
I think the VC inclusion in this comp goes a long way towards evening up the field also as pick 1 gets a swan/ablett type and pick 16 gets a player who will average significantly less.
then pick 17 gets a player who should average significantly more than pick 32 - thus evening the captain/vicecaptain points
as in 1+32 should = 16+17 when both those teams pick a captain and vicecaptain (theoretically) with the first two picks.
make sense ? ???

Once I have all coaches PM and have confirmed them all, I will confirm all team names that are not double ups (from same country)
Coaches that have requested/entered team names that are from the same country as another coach will go through a process of assigning who gets that country and so on....
* At this point some have confirmed and some have not, Blue has withdrawn to his credit as to not let down the competition in maintaining a team to the required ASIAN standard.
** So we are back to 16 (at this point)
Woo not too many coaches to go! come on boys! :)
I'll take one if you can't find another guys
Os we have 16, since tbag took Blue's spot.
I think one spot will become available though.
Sorry, I assumed 18 :) No need to worry then

interested in being an assistant Oz?
If you need any more or someone drops out then I'll be up for it. Good luck all.
anyone interested in an assistant role? I have requested some people and they may not be available, please let me know!
Hey colli, my team name is just the Kathmandu Eskimoes, no Nepal in there :)
Colli, having an auto pick if you miss out is stupid ::) It HAS to be that you get skipped and you pick whenever you are online, that's how the other drafts work and it went better, as the person picking still gets to pick someone that may fit their structure...
Yeah I agree with power spud. The next player picks and you pick you're ready.
This rule will go on the vote list.
We now have 15 confirmed just BGK to confirm or not and then we decide if we need to cut a coach to go back to 14 teams, or we FIND another to take us up to 16, (if BGK doesnt confirm).
As soon as we finalise BGK or another coach we can start the rules voting. I haven't recieved much in the way of alternatives to rule changes other than the draft rules.
I would like to have eveeryones thoughts on options or alternatives to rules ( if there are any rules or settings you prefer a different rule that what is already laid out in this first post).
there is the home ground advantage and what that should be as well as the list of points in the second post in this thread and anything else you may like changed.
As soon as we confirm 14 or 16 teams we can vote on any rule changes which should take a week approx, then we can start which works well for Jayman if we aim for the weekend after next. Saturday start.
Think Jay said he is out from this coming Saturday to the following Friday.
That Saturday after next is also the deadline I gave all coaches to confirm entry.
Can we hav a sub rule? Example
Select ur sub, if any player scores under 10 u also get ur selected sub players score?
Just something differant?
I will be absent from next saturday until the following friday. May be able to get on during those times but i doubt it. So id prefer it to start in say 3-4 weeks time??? If that doesnt suit then ringo can do my pick for me :)

We probably want as many rounds out the way as possible before the season finishes, so maybe get ringo to do it?
That said Id like the draft to start maybe late next week?

I can put a YES / NO vote for a sub rule.
In order to do so you may want t odiscuss with others not a "general" way it will work, but find out what is POPULAR and give me an exact layout for how the "sub rule" will work.
If you discuss with other coaches and can get 9 or more to agree with your idea, then you will get it in when we vote on final rules and setup which are in dispute.
All RULES and SETUP will be exactly as I have laid out in this thread - EXCEPT where an alternative has been offered up, and which when voted on gets majority support. (in a 16 team league = 9 votes).
When all the rules and setup variations have been recieved i will post all up and EVERY team coach (1 coach per team) will need to cast thier vote on each item.
I think the sub rule could apply as in.
One of your players gets subbed. Any time for an injury, not for form (which could get complicated), then the named sub could come on and score for them. So say if I have Ablett who scores 25 and gets subbed out injured. I can use the sub player to play on and get a full score.
I think it more of an option as in you get 15 of your fittest players scoring, instead of say 14 of players scoring well and one who lets the team down. That player can be made up for it, through this sub rule.
Not sure if I explained my idea well...

yeh i pretty much get what ur saying i think.
my idea is just..
Select a SUB player. If a player on the feild scores -10.5 you get that players score and the subs score.
nice and simple. pretty much the only way someone will score under 10 is if they are injured and subbed off anyway...
i just like the idea of
I will put the sub rule to the vote in any format it is suggested
as i understand it
1. WHATLEZ = A player subbed off gets replaced by the player you named sub.
"my concern with this - As administrator it is a TON of work for me to go over EVERYBODYS named teams, check if any of thier players were subbed out of the games they played before being abled to confirm results. final scores"
2. MONSTROM = A player scores less than 10.5 , they get the players score you named sub added to thier score.
" i like this better as it is nowhere near as much work for administration, i don't need to check if any players were subbed in or out of games i just check all players scores and where there is one under 10.5 i check the named sub score is added."
"my concern with this, is that it is a BONUS to have a player subbed out as you not only get the named subs full score, you get whatever the subbed out player scores as well."
I am overall not for the sub rule because it is basically just the same as an emergency replacing an unplaying player except the emergency (sub) replaces a low scoring/subbed player.
It also takes away the skill of naming a side that does not have a pleyer in it likely to be a sub on or off.
But I would be happy to have a sub rule, but I would not be happy to have to check every AFL game and find out who was subbed off and on to confirm teams in the ASIANS scoring, thats a bit much on top of everything else.
Keep the ideas coming on the sub rule, once again it is a matter of coming up with a rule that is popular as it will need 9 votes to go ahead.

I don't think so, that immediately changes the draft order from random, to partially random and partially "selected".
I think with the C and VC the draft order is more balanced wherever you are in it, and also the reverse order for the national draft which repeats adds advantage to the teams picking late in the initial draft.
All in all we should have VERY even sides come round 1 in 2013... unless you trade badly :)
It's not for captain choices. Other reasons :P

thought there was no trading till after the 2013 season :P
trading is in the voting options, there will be 1 trade window, 2 trade windows, or 0 trade windows, and we also need to vote on how many list movements will be allowed if there is trading.
there is no way on Earth the vote will be in favour of ) trade windows, people love to trade :)
me i probably can't be bothered unless trades are proposed to me, but i don't mind either way if we do or don't but it will be on the vote.
* Note to entrants - BGK has been withdrawn and Maca24 is pending acceptance for the final team #16.
I have sent a PM to my two favourite moderators and the first one who replies will randomly generate our draft order and it will be posted in the official draft thread by them, then transfered to the top of the thread by me :)
yyaaaaaaaaaa I don't want a top pick cos I don't want to wait for my second pick :P
* A NOTE ON TEAM NAMES*
While I have no intention of enforcing this , I would like it if we all had a look at the following competitions teams, and where possible chose animals / team names NOT already in use by existing teams.
It is my HOPE that we can differentiate between the other worlds competitions AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
This can be done by,
1. choosing countries not in use in the Worlds competition.
2. Choosing animals / team names not in use in ANY of the Worlds, Euro's, English competitions.
Once again while I am not about to enfore this rule I think it is
1. Respectful to existing world 15s clubs which existed first in the other competitions.
2. Better to be unique!
AND YES I HAVE LED BY EXAMPLE AND CHANGED FROM THE SUNS :( TO THE SAMURAI as there are the mexico City Suns in world 15s.
I like the Sunami, but that's probably inappropriate!

thanks mate, i will relocate :)
I will aim to have all teams in the A15's unique in country and team name / animal to all other worlds leagues. makes sense,
i feel all 4 worlds leagues should be viewed as "property of FF" coaching a team is like leasing the rights to run the team from FF.
holding a liscense so to speak.
Given we have 4 world 15 league but all in one place and all run through FF, I think they should all be differentiated as much as possible.
I am sure more will follow on structure of these leagues in the weeks / months to come.
I have relocated from Japan to Vietnam, there can be none of the following countries in the Asian 15's competion,
China
New Zealand
Japan
Korea South or North
India
Russia

Just waiting on Noz, nostradamus, Nails+PB and Tbagrocks to confirm on rules and voting options on rules and I can get everyone our the list for voting.

Quote from: tbagrocks on August 16, 2012, 09:36:11 PM
what do I need to do? I am ready ;D
I sent you a PM or i think i did :)
all you had to do was let me know you are happy with the rules as posted in the rules discussion thread (first post) and the options to vote on in regards to rule changes (second post).
if you are great then we just need to wait on the other coaches who havent got back to me yet.
IF YOUR NOT, and you want to add any variations to rules, or removal of rules, or new rules, you just need to PM them to me and I will add them to the " options/rules to be voted on list".
so once everyone has gotten back to me i'll PM you all and we can vote, then i'll post all the final rules up. then we can draft !
Yeah so everyone reply >:(
I know Noz, Nost and Powerspud and Snails have been online recently.
I'm happy to proceed!
Quote from: whatlez on August 16, 2012, 09:50:26 PM

I just PM the three of them again, no real hurry but i want to at least finalize the rules and setup and get the thread up in clear detail.
As soon as we are all confirmed happy, we can vote, then i have to do the rules post so before we draft everyone can see in black and white all the exact rules and setup.
that will take me a couple of hours :)
but following the vote and results on the rules we can pretty much set a draft date anytime suitable to all...
thanks Tbagrocks , your now in
bold :)

I am a big one for correct grammar too but as if anyone gives a toss in a footy forum, and if he "the grammar cop" posts as much as i do and does it all with the correct pronunciation marks i'll follow suit and do the same.
but i doubt anyone who writes as muc has i am lately adds a ' everywhere there is supposed to be one.
i reserve the right to say tho and yor and maybe even sup :o

I should probably be rivals with the Eskimos :o go the Everest rivalry!
i need a rival in this comp 2.....
I don't have a rival.
Well I think the KL Crocs have a few haters. :-X
I dont have a rival :-\
I will "suggest" rival teams based on the past and present rivalries between countries, however if any of the coaches in this competition feel they are suited to be rivals feel free to suggest who your rival should be.
I will need to finalize all team rivals prior to preparing the draw which won't be until after the 2013 season AFL draw is released.
So that I can try to work in a rivalry round for Asians competition

Just waiting on nostradamus, Nails+PB, to confirm on rules and voting options on rules and I can get everyone our the list for voting.
Only two teams remaining..... come on how long does it take to review the rules and voting options and decide whether your happy or wish to add something :)
I need to finalize this list before we can vote on the options, and until we vote on the options I can't begin the rules book post, and until i complete the rules book thread we can't begin the draft :)
there on regurly too ::)
I actually messaged nost and he said "Not yet Lez, l thought l had a bit more time yet"
PB is sick at the moment, so hasn't really come on. He and I need to chat about it quickly, just need PB to become healthy lol.
its rules ::) you can vote you dont like the rule anyway ::)

PB and I only get 1 vote combined, so we have to discuss what we like as a team.

PB been sick the whole time, I haven't spoke to him properly for like 2-3 days.
Does it really matter? Not going to make a huge difference.
If they complain anymore kick em I say ;D
Nah its fair enough with PB being sick and making 22 posts in the last 2 days. Clearly he wouldnt of had time to reply to colli's PM or Nails if he had a problem with any rule.....
* no sarcasim, get well soon PB.
No problem guys :)
best to have everyone happy with the setup and rules before we start happy to wait until PB is well and nostradamus has had a chance to think it all over
the overwhelming desire is to draft as son as possible so as not to go to deep into the offseason, but probabl only need a week to get all the votes done once everyone confirms, another day maybe two to get all the finalized (voted on ) rules posted up, then we can spend a few more days agreeing when to start drafting.
that sounds good colli :)
so once they've agreed to the rules we're prolly looking around 2 weeks till draft time?? assuming Jayman is back by then??
yeah well jayman needs to be back to VOTE on the rules for a start... unless he has authorized one of his two assistants to do it for him.
But it could be longer or shorter once the last two teams confirm we vote instantly ( if one or both of the last two teams have options to add to the vote ) then i just need to add them then we vote.
It will only take as long as it takes everyone to vote once i ask everyone to, then a day for me to post the full completed rules/setup - then we are good to go at an agreed date.
I will he back and ready to draft on the 31st of August. If this holds anyone up then Ringo is more than happy to take my first couple of picks (we have worked out a pririoty list). I may be able to get on periodically but we will see.
FYI ringo is my assistant while Tabs is my Scout and tor01doc is my selector :D
A bit of a coaching Panel, no comparison to mine though ;D
it is a nice coaching panel, and i'd easily rate whatlez's the best out of any, in any comp :o but watch out for me and Hawka in a few years haha ;D
