So I've had 8 responses to the reserves competition idea, with a resounding 6 coaches voting in favour of it, with just the one rejection (and one maybe), meaning I will decide to institute a reserves competition for AXVIII SC. As opposed to the WXV system of having all of your non-XV players represent your reserves, I will make it 10-player teams with a reserves captain, with no position-specificity necessary (meaning you can play 10 mids if you want). Prior to Round 1 2017, I will have each team make their list preferences, where they list their team from best player to worst. If no specific reserves team is listed for a week, their reserves team will be made up from their list preferences, with the highest-listed non-XVIII+EMG player being given the captaincy. Or you can just list your 10 reserves players and captain each week and have them respresent your reserves (if one of these players does not play I will take a player from your list preferences). Note that your listed emergencies CANNOT represent your reserves for the week. An example of this format:
San Francisco Grizzllies
D: H. Shaw, Z. Williams, L. Montagna, J. Pittard
M: J. Steven (evc), L. Hunter, K. Jack, O. Wines, S. Coniglio, J. Viney
R: S. Martin (vc)
F: B. Deledio, E. Betts, J. Jenkins, J. Watts
U: A. Miles, B. Stanton (c), P. Wright
Emg: M. Leuenberger, T. Hawkins, J. Smith, A. Swallow (sub)
Stanford Cardinal: A. Young (c), B. Maynard, O. McDonald, S. Wellingham, D. Pearce, B. Hill, T. Papley, M. Shaw, R. Harwood, S.D. Thompson
So now we're getting to the first fun part: naming our reserves sides! Reply to this thread your new reserves team name (and any other comments/ideas/whatever about reserves) and I'll add it to the list:
Anaheim Mighty Ducks: Birmingham Dragons
Boston Terriers: Suffolk Terriers
Carolina Panthers: North Carolina Tar Heels
Chicago Sharks: Rockford Bears
Colorado Avalanche: Colorado Bootleggers
Houston Bombers: Rio Grande Valley Rockets
Las Vegas Sinners: Nevada Desert Coyotes
New Brooklyn Hawks: Harlem Naggers
Ottawa Otters: Montreal Moose
Quito Quetzals: Galápagos Tortoise
San Francisco Grizzlies: Stanford Cardinal
Wisconsin Cockerels: Milwaukee Roosters
Might go boring and stick with Terriers (top name Jay!)
Suffolk Terriers sounds sweet to me. Shouts to Boston's County!
Colorado Bootleggers
(everybody knows they make moonshine)

Good to see another coach going back to their college roots with their reserves side!
