Basic Rules
- Name 15 players a week 4-4-1-4-2 structure.
- You may name any players that your local comp allows you to name (E.g. if there's rookie listed players you CAN'T use them).
- Teams are to name a C, VC and EVC if they wish. WXV, EXV, BXV get Captain x2, AXV also get VC x1.5.
- Out of position players get a flat 0.5x rate.
- There's no other multipliers (like resting, HGA)
- 3 Emergencies in order of preference. Anyone that names more than 3 Emergencies will forfeit their entire emergency line for the week.
- Rolling lockout, loopholing encouraged.
- If no team is named before the Friday lockout (Unless I say the deadline is later), team will forfeit their team for the week and only score 750 points. No exceptions, find an assistant or name your team on the previous Monday for all I care.
- Name the same player in your team more than once, you will forfeit the line(s) at which the breach occurred for the week.
- Name more players than the 4-4-1-4-2 structure allows, you will forfeit the line at which the breach occurred.

Should've won the final last year then you'd be an automatic entrant into 2017 ;)

*posting for replies to press face against cold outside window*

Buenos Aires are in this, and I'm not. I hate you iZander.

I really enjoyed reading about the multiplier, so long as Euro doesn't go 15-1 again this year I'm satisfied  ;)

Is Iceland the only euros team?

Also, how is the multipler being run?

Could someone please post the top 8 teams from EXVs last season in finishing order post-finals and including the manager(s) names. When two teams got knocked out in the same week the one higher on the ladder goes first. Cheers :)

Russian Roulettes - Rids/Nostra
Hungarian Hulks - Holz
Greek Titans - Spite
Serbian Eagles - Nrich
Iceland Polar Bears - HP
Svalbard Valkyries - Zippy
Belgian Bashers - Ele/Rico
Macedonian Wolves - Scrads

Alright cheers. EXV thread says Hulks above Roulettes, I assume the rest is in order?

Will add it to the opening post then we can get started on creating some groups!

PMs are sent out to all managers. READ THE RULES CAREFULLY! (Note: I'm still finalising them I'll let everyone know on here when it's all sorted)

Thanks to GoLions for pointing out that I didn't change the word "worlds" for any any of the other PMs I sent to the managers of euros, british and asian comps :P

Competition has no meaning without a team from Blackpool :)

Can you make up some more rules that result in forfeiting your team for the week and only getting 500 points :P

*cough* wildcard entries *cough*

Laos are gonna be a real threat I reckon!

Maybe if I think hard enough. These are just all the things I've seen Torp do at various stages through different competitions, that's why I listed them down ;D

*cough* wildcard entries *cough*

If teams don't wish to participate I'll start going down the ladder and grabbing whoever is next :) Had one team declining entry, from Euros :(

Just waiting on one manager to get back to me, as some teams have pulled out. Then I can set a date for the Group Draw. Probably looking at Sunday of Round 1 at this stage, not sure exactly. It'll be at night though, that's what I do know.

Save the Date: Monday 20th March 8:00pm ACDST

The Live Group Draw will be happening at this time!!

#tonight

Champions League Draw
How it will work
- There will be 8 groups of 4 teams drawn
- Each group will contain 1 team from each of the 4 competitions.
- The teams are seeded from 1 to 8 based on their finishing positions in their respective comps last season (bar the CL winners Iceland who are first).
- Each group will contain a 1-2 seed, 3-4 seed, 5-6 seed, 7-8 seed.

The Teams

	World XVs	Euro XVs
1.	Rio de Janeiro Jaguars	Iceland Polar Bears
2.	New Delhi Tigers	Hungarian Hulks
3.	Dublin Destroyers	Russian Roulettes
4.	Mexico City Suns	Serbian Eagles
5.	Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers	Svalbard Valkyries
6.	New York Revolution	Belgian Bashers
7.	Pacific Islanders	Swiss Storm
8.	Buenos Aires Armadillos	Croatian Crushers
	British XVs	Asian XVs
1.	Oxford Owls	Australia Ales
2.	Winchester Werewolves	Kuala Lumpar Crocodiles
3.	Hastings Hurricanes	Bengkok Crabs
4.	Bradford Badgers	Tibet Llamas
5.	Huddersfield Hawks	Sri Lanka Strikers
6.	Hebdenbridge Hedgehogs	UAE Tigers
7.	Leeds Leeches	Mongolian Lambs
8.	Swansea Breakers	Laos Elephants

I'll be naming the side for the Mexico City Suns in the CL this season.

The Proposed Multiplier
Worlds: 1.00
Euros: 1.00
British: 0.61
Asians: 0.74

Last season we had: 1, 1.024, 0.6284 and 0.7460. When looking at the total points scored across the CL group stages, everything with those multipliers worked out to be pretty even (Euros outscored Worlds without the multiplier amazingly). So just a few tweaks to those numbers is the plan. Any major objections do speak up soon.

So the first bit is relatively straight forward. All of the 8 top seeded sides chucked into random.org, and the order which they appear is the order of the groups they are in.

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H
Winchester Werewolves	Hungarian Hulks	Australia Ales	Rio de Janeiro Jaguars	Iceland Polar Bears	Kuala Lumpar Crocodiles	Oxford Owls	New Delhi Tigers
.				.
	.				.
		.				.

Now we get onto the slow part. Again the teams available to into random.org, and the top named side is the one that joins the group :)

Group A has already got a British side in it, so the other 6 teams with 3 or 4 seeds go in the pot

Mexico City Suns join Group A.

Group B: Hastings Hurricanes
Group C: Serbian Eagles
Group D: Bradford Badgers

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H
Winchester Werewolves	Hungarian Hulks	Australia Ales	Rio de Janeiro Jaguars	Iceland Polar Bears	Kuala Lumpar Crocodiles	Oxford Owls	New Delhi Tigers
Mexico City Suns	Hastings Hurricanes	Serbian Eagles	Bradford Badgers	.
	.				.
		.				.

Group E: Dublin Destroyers

Which in turn forces...

Group F: Russian Roulettes

Group G: Tibet Llamas
Group H: Bangkok Crabs

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H
Winchester Werewolves	Hungarian Hulks	Australia Ales	Rio de Janeiro Jaguars	Iceland Polar Bears	Kuala Lumpar Crocodiles	Oxford Owls	New Delhi Tigers
Mexico City Suns	Hastings Hurricanes	Serbian Eagles	Bradford Badgers	Dublin Destroyers	Russian Roulettes	Tibet Llamas	Bangkok Crabs
	.				.
		.				.

Going back to Group A. They have a Worlds and British side, so looking at 5th and 6th seeds, 4 teams enter the pot.

Group A now have the Belgian Bashers as company.

Group B is between the Worlds and Asians sides...
Sri Lanka Strikers congratulations!

Someone else is allowed to post you know ;)

Group C needs some Red or Blue. It's Red and the Huddersfield Hawks are the ones.

Stop talking to yourself PB  8)

Go team

Group D now have the UAE Tigers as company

Group E is forced as the Hebdenbridge Hedgehogs

Group F: New York Revolution
Group G: Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers
Group H: Svalbard Valkyries

So who am I playing first up?

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H
Winchester Werewolves	Hungarian Hulks	Australia Ales	Rio de Janeiro Jaguars	Iceland Polar Bears	Kuala Lumpar Crocodiles	Oxford Owls	New Delhi Tigers
Mexico City Suns	Hastings Hurricanes	Serbian Eagles	Bradford Badgers	Dublin Destroyers	Russian Roulettes	Tibet Llamas	Bangkok Crabs
Belgian Bashers	Sri Lanka Strikers	Huddersfield Hawks	UAE Tigers	Hebdenbridge Hedgehogs	New York Revolution	Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers	Svalbard Valkyries
		.				.

Now the run home:

Group A: Mongolian Lambs
Group E: Laos Elephants

Group B: Pacific Islanders
Group C: Buenos Aires Armadillos

Group D: Croatian Crushers
Group G: Swiss Storm

Group F: Swansea Breakers
Group H: Leeds Leeches

Can't wait to knock off Rio de Japoopo

Group A looks to be the hardest.

Breakers will love to send the Revolution revolving out, having the Roulettes backfire and breaking crocodiles.

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H
Winchester Werewolves	Hungarian Hulks	Australia Ales	Rio de Janeiro Jaguars	Iceland Polar Bears	Kuala Lumpar Crocodiles	Oxford Owls	New Delhi Tigers
Mexico City Suns	Hastings Hurricanes	Serbian Eagles	Bradford Badgers	Dublin Destroyers	Russian Roulettes	Tibet Llamas	Bangkok Crabs
Belgian Bashers	Sri Lanka Strikers	Huddersfield Hawks	UAE Tigers	Hebdenbridge Hedgehogs	New York Revolution	Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers	Svalbard Valkyries
Mongolian Lambs	Pacific Islanders	Buenos Aires Armadillos	Croatian Crushers	Laos Elephants	Swansea Breakers	Swiss Storm	Leeds Leeches

This is very much last minute, but was the multiplier calculated from the top 8 teams participating, or from all the teams in the comp? I can't remember if it was last year or the year before, but the competition was just flowered because (worlds?) had such a massive scoring discrepancy between first and last that it skewed it so the top 2 worlds teams were juggernauts with the multiplier having being calculated taking the terrible scores of the bottom of their ladder.

If not, it might be too late to tweak it. I should have mentioned this sooner but I've been so under the pump recently.

Also- with naming more than 3 emergencies, it seems savage the whole team is forfeited, wouldn't the emergency line being forfeited make more sense (that being said, your comp, I know the other comps are a bit more strict than euros :P )

Game on guys!!!

A couple of Euros teams declined the invite. And then as I started asking down the ladder guys didn't reply to my PMs. So I think the 12th ranked Euros side made it in.

I looked at all the scores from the Champions League Group Stages last year. And when you added up all the scores (using the respective comp scoring) to make them all even the multipliers we needed is pretty much what we had last season. There were one or two teams that were outliers in the scoring, which is why I tweaked it slightly, but otherwise I think these numbers work quite well.

As for the last point, follow the rules and you'll have no problems! Everyone here should be competent enough to follow simple rules :) (And there's nothing wrong with asking me a question if you want clarification either!)

Hi PB, Just wondering mate ........ as l didn't post my teams here does that mean the Russian Roulettes and Bangkok Crabs have for forfeited their positions?

Forfeited the round. Still 5 rounds in the group stage to go :)

In hindsight, I think I should've had some week one leniency in there. But I am not going to go changing that now, so unless your opponent(s) are happy for you to have your team as per the local comp, you'll score 500 for this round.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention it, I thought I had written it down somewhere in here. But the Euros multiplier is 1.01, not the even 1.00. I was fairly sure I had posted it, obviously didn't.

Hey Champs League coaches,


As you've all probably noticed, I've been super slack with the CL scores this season. Unfortunately I don't think the time allows me to put in the effort required to make this function. I'm really disappointed that I've had to do this because I really enjoy running it and wanted to make it bigger than it was last season with extra games, in hindsight that was probably a bad idea. Time just hasn't been kind to me with uni and my other work, and then when I get around to looking at fantasy football obviously the salary cap games take priority.

Moving forward I don't know what you guys want to do, whether someone wants to take over and catch up on the last two weeks and continue on, or whether someone wants to run something else completely starting post byes (or whether nothing happens at all). I have the stuff I did do on an excel spreadsheet. Just send me a message if you do and I'll give you what I have, I am prompt on responding to PMs.

So yeah, I'm sorry again. There isn't really an excuse for it and I'm angry at myself for resorting to this, but I don't have the time to put in the effort that it deserves.

 :'(

i have the time but think i have to many kb moments to run a comp

This comp would require a lot of administration, so an understandable decision PB.

I'd love to take over, but there would no way I could find the time  :(

I definitely don't have the time otherwise I would :(
