Make sure your club board is putting together a strong Division 1 SuperCoach league!
Please pass on the message to name that league BigFooty [Mascot] 1. Thank you.
Welcome to the 2014 SuperCoach Club Board Championships!
This competition is entering its third full season with all 18 club boards participating. Last year, the Geelong Board (BigFooty Cats SC) were premiers, defeating the Richmond Board (BigFooty Tigers SC) 12-6 in the grand final. All 18 club boards should be well into the process of preparing and submitting their Division 1 leagues to compete for the title of Club Board Champion league for 2014.
Information and rules
Leagues and teams
A SuperCoach guernsey has been created for each Club Board, in the same vein as on the SuperCoach website but using the club's current design. These guernseys will accompany team lists. Feel free to use them as avatars to promote your league.
All participating leagues must be named BigFooty [Mascot] 1, for example BigFooty Cats 1 or with an abbreviated mascot like BigFooty Roos 1. There is a chance some of these leagues will be in the top 20 and we want the BigFooty name to be loud and proud on the rankings page.
The league organiser needs to post in this thread with confirmation of their league name, and the following details of all 18 teams:
BigFooty name ~ SuperCoach team name ~ 2014 team ID (need to wait until Round 1)
For example:
1. SJ ~ Upside SCE ~ 4321
2.
3.
Please use the ~ symbol in between your entries as it makes my job very easy.
This year, team IDs will only be able to be collected after Round 1. Please keep in touch on this matter, they are vital to the running of this competition.
Matches
In 2014 all 18 club boards will be represented by their top SuperCoach league in the Club Board Championships.
Each week, nine matches will take place with each club board up against another club board. The home and away season runs from Rounds 3 to 19 (as per SuperCoach season). Likewise, the top eight leagues will enter play finals from Rounds 20 to 23.
The draw has been allocated and will follow in the second post. Club Boards will 'play' out of their traditional home grounds. The draws for SuperCoach and Dream Team leagues are identical.
Scoring
The match scoring system is as follows:
- All 18 teams from both leagues in a match are sorted into seeds in order from the highest rank after the previous round to the lowest.
- Then 18 'mini matches' are played, with team going up against team.
- The club board with the most 'mini matches' won that round wins the match and records a win for their board.
Scores and ladders will be updated in this thread weekly. Feel free to use this thread for banter between club boards and discussion over results and upcoming games. Results will also be updated on club boards and so make sure your board knows that your league is competing in the championships!
Prizes
All 18 BigFooty players from the champion league will win themselves the title of BigFooty Club Board Championship League player and winners tag (
Each home and away season match will see votes handed out to the top three individual teams from the 18 'mini matches' on a 3-2-1 basis. The winning player with the most votes at the end of the season is crowned the BigFooty SuperCoach MVP. the_messy_man won this award in 2013 with 16 votes.
Final thoughts
I'm really excited to get to run this competition for 2014! All I need is some help from the captains pre-Round 3 (but the earlier the better) and some enthusiasm from players during the season to let me know that it is all worth it!
Cheers
SJ
