I think, just wait until both leagues of the NAFL is kicked of and running for a few weeks, then introduce this, just so that people are willing to keep an eye on that as well
Workshop if competition does not have permission to move forward (hence disclaimer at bottom of original post). Open to all unless accepted then it will change to the specs (listed in said original post)
Just a bump for this comp as its been raised a few times over the last couple of days. Rules are as below for the Broncos. Should I restart the whole comp or continue where we left off?
How many did you get through before it stopped?
From memory, we had Brisbane, Canberra, Penrith and Canterbury. I was going to restart it with Souths, on account of their win a few weeks ago and then the winner can pick.
I'd say leave the teams that have already been done until last, and if there's still interest run them again.

My idea is for a competition in the spirit of competitions like the NAFL and IFA but a little more fast paced. People have been complaining about a lack of weekly designing, well for this competition you could design every week or once in a blue moon and not lose your place.
Every member on this board is permitted to have one live entry design, consisting of a playing strip and logo for a fictional football club from a location anywhere they like in the world. I don't care whether you enter the New York Isotopes or the Salisbury East Fieldmice. All I want is a real world location and a football club.
Each week there will be several divisions of roughly 5. Each division will have a match involving all 5 participants in an open vote for the best design.
After each match, the top two (or so) teams in the division will be promoted and the bottom two teams will be relegated. I'd imagine each voting period would be about 5 days with the idea to have one round each week.
The winner of the top division will be the World Heavyweight Champion and that champion will defend his title each week for as long as he or she has it.
Entry rules:
- One entry per person. One playing strip with a logo if you choose. Also I want your username attached somewhere in-image for quick reference of who is who.
- You will maintain your position in the rankings provided you stick with the same club name and colours. I will allow design tweaks or changes between rounds provided it's the same club. If you want to make wholesale changes, you have to pull out and re-enter a new club in the bottom division. This hopefully will stop one or two people from dominating for too long.
- If you enter a design and don't change it, and it maintains it's place in a division, it can theoretically stay there forever until you pull it out or enter something new. So if you want to enter a guernsey you can, but if you don't enter for a while you maintain your place in the competition. I'm not sure how this will work longterm and I expect that if this runs for a while and we end up with heaps of divisions, I will remove entries where the owner has lost interest or where the entry has remained in a low division for an extended period of time.
- The idea behind this is that it's quickfire comp that anybody can enter without having to invest too much time or effort. There is no bidding process. If you submit an entry, you are in (unless it gets absolutely ridiculous and we have like 60 teams).
Theoretically we could have 6 divisions, so 30 odd entries, and someone could enter at the bottom and their design if good enough would take 6 weeks to get up to the top division and challenge for the belt.
The thread structure would be a hub thread where discussion and announcements happened and a weekly voting thread. I'm not sure if there is an image limit in posts or a limit as to how many voting options there are. If so I could break the divisions over a couple of threads if required.
I'm hoping that the belt will regularly change hands as people get sick of the incumbent titleholder and vote new designs in.
Also, once this competition got the go ahead, i'd start the hub thread immediately and as soon as I had 5 designs, the first week would be up. The NAFL benefited greatly from 3 months of time to enter and the quality was outstanding. This competition is all about a fast pace and constantly rotating entries.
What do people think?
I really like this idea! So would each division have a name like Cruiserweight, Welterweight, Bantamweight, etc. with Heavyweight of course being the top division?Proposal:
