Media The Evolution of a Sweet FA poster: Meet "Tony"

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Hi friends I would like to introduce you to someone most of you don't already know, tony

Here's some interesting facts about Tony you probably didn't know:

1. Tony had a Real Madrid top with Raul's signature on it which he was trying to sell. However I don't know if the sale was successful.

2. Tony really likes Xbox and he won several games back in 2008, however at the time he was living with his mum and she forbade him to have one. I don't know if he still lives with her or if he ever got the Xbox he so keenly desired.

3. He is really pumped for season 2020 and I think he rates the Lions chances quite highly. How high I cant be sure.

4. He reads The Herald Sun, but I'm not sure if he's purchased an online subscription.

5. He is listed on the Bombers playing list for season 29 in the final squad submission thread, in the leadership group I might add, but I don't recall him ever being signed as a Bomber. If you look closely at the Bombers Ins for season 29



Tony's name is nowhere to be seen. So how did this happen i hear you ask. Well that's a great question. Let me take a step back for a moment, I'm a little flustered with all this excitement.

Looking closely at the Bombers final list in the season 29 squad submission thread you can clearly see a player called Tony Lynn



So WaynesWorld19 has listed a player on his squad list (tony Lynn) that wasn't on there last season and hasn’t accounted for how he’s come onto the list. Plus he hasn’t noted why Tony Lynn 15 is no longer on their list.

Captains have to note all player incomings/outgoings from their squad list at the start of the season before R1 (deadline was last Friday), as is clearly stated by Ant Bear here:

CAPTAINS ONLY to post in this thread. As per previous seasons, anyone posting anything other than a squad, signing or delisting will be quartered BEFORE being hung and drawn.

Simply post your team's full squad in its correct format by 11:59pm, Friday 24th January 2020 . After that date, announce any signings or delistings in this thread. Any questions, please bring them up in committee or via PM to myself.
I repeat, this is NOT a thread for discussion on squads or signings, this is a thread for official use by CAPTAINS ONLY.

Spoiler: Rules

SEC [3]. Squad Management/Player Movement

3A) Squad Management
Captains need to submit final squads by the deadline set by the administration. After this deadline, all signings and delistings must be noted in the squad submission thread. All changes are only considered official from the moment that the Squad in the Squad Submission thread is updated. Squads must be altered (preferred) or re-posted (if original poster unavailable) to reflect these signings/delistings before they are allowed to play.

Squads also must contain a minimum of 22 players and a maximum of 27 players prior to the season commencing. During the season captains must ensure that there are at least 20 eligible players for any given week.

If a player changes their BigFooty username during the season, both the team sheets and squad submission thread must continue to use the original username at squad submission deadline for the remainder of the season and the sim will continue to list their original name.

3B) Trades
May only occur during the trade period/s specified by the administration. Trades must be player/s for player/s, and the player/s must have been listed in a squad prior to the trade period. Both clubs and player/s must agree to the trade for it to take place. Trades must then be approved by the admin, and changes to the Squads must be noted in the Squad Submission thread. It is at this stage that the trade becomes official.

3C) Eligibility to sign players

Restricted Free Agency

After the squad submission deadline, listed players are contracted to their club. However, any players delisted during the season (that were on the original squad) can be signed as a delisted free agent by any other club (including the original club).

​

Spoiler: Rules

• The player must enter the team sign up thread and the same process applies as if the they were a new or returning player to the Sweet FA.​
• They only qualify for RFA if they have been delisted by their club, not if they have walked out.​
• Restricted Free Agency eligibility ends four rounds prior to finals.​
• The administrator must approve the signing of any delisted player by his/her new team and reserves the right to defer to the committee for any further discussion should it be required.​
• If a delisted player does not qualify for Restricted Free Agency then they can only be re-signed by their original club for that season. This can be done freely with the agreement of both parties.​
• Players who wish to leave a club during a season, but are denied this right by the club refusing to delist them, may appeal to the Committee for consideration by sending a PM to the Admin. The case will then be discussed in Committee, and a simple majority vote will determine if the club will be forced to release the player​
• Players can only be eligible for RFA once per season​

The official process for signing players during the season under RFA or new/returning is a player who posts an intention to join the league by posting in the signup thread during a season will be required to complete the Application form as below:


FORM:
Name (your BigFooty username):
Preferred Position 1:
Preferred Position 2:
Preferred Position 3:
Number:
Height:
Weight:
Preferred Team (if you have one):
State (optional):
How did you hear about the Sweet F.A?:
Teams may then bid publicly or privately for their services, and the applicant should engage with the bidding teams. If a player nominated a club in the sign up form, then the nominated club is free to sign them after 24 hrs, provided no adjustments to the nominated club have been made in this time period. Any disputes between teams regarding who the player has joined after the 24 hour period must be clarified by the player themselves before they can be added to a squad list.


3D) Unrestricted Free Agency

Unrestricted free agency occurs between seasons from the grand final to squad submission date. Free agents may only be signed with permission. Player movement between clubs is unrestricted with permission of the player. Players who are new to the league signed during the offseason are required to either make a post in the signup thread or the team thread of their chosen club before officially being added to the squad. Any player movement not specified in the rules is not considered legal. In the event of uncertainty, the club must contact the administrator for consideration with the committee.

3E) Penalties For Incorrect Handling Of Squad Submission/Player Movement

High Impact (4 point penalty):
- Failing to submit a squad in the official squad submission thread by deadline.
- Failing to satisfy the minimum squad list requirement (20 eligible players)

Medium Impact (1 game captain suspension):
- Squad lists over 27 eligible players
- Failure to follow correct protocol for signing a player (3B + 3C)
- Unexplained alterations to squad list

Low Impact (one match suspended-ban for captains, activated if another team sheet offence occurs within the next month):
- Post notifying a squad change that did not occur
​

REPEAT: THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY JANUARY 24th, AT 11.59pm
​

So where does Tony come into it? Well here's the good part. If you hover over Tony Lynn in Wayeno's post you get this



Delicious.


So basically under rule 3E of the squad submission rules there are two unexplained alterations to the Bombers list before the season has started which is a medium impact penalty carrying a one game suspension for the Bombers captain. Tony Lynn in and Tony Lynn 15 out.

3E) Penalties For Incorrect Handling Of Squad Submission/Player Movement


Medium Impact (1 game captain suspension):
- Squad lists over 27 eligible players
- Failure to follow correct protocol for signing a player (3B + 3C)
- Unexplained alterations to squad list


So what does that mean for round 1? The deadline for Squad submission was last Friday

REPEAT: THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY JANUARY 24th, AT 11.59pm

And it's all in capitol letters so you know AB means business. That would make Tony Lynn 15 ineligible for round 1 and technically a free agent. He would have to go into the sign up thread, fill out the form, nominate The Bombers (If he wishes to stay there) and wait 24 hours before it becomes official.

Which brings me to the second part of the thread: This weeks team submission for the Bombers.



As you can see they have named Tony Lynn 15 at fullback which is a clear violation of Rule 4A

Teams must contain 20 eligible players, and be submitted in a single post in the Official Team Sheet Submission Thread each round.

Medium Impact (one match ban for captain/s and offender):
- Incorrect positional changes
- Naming an ineligible player

This also carry's a one match suspension for the offending captain.

With the eyes of the league already cast directly at the Admin thanks to Kennedy Parker delightful thread I for one will be very interested to see how this plays out. This could well be a defining moment in this current administration and will set the tone for the rest of the season. If asked I will gladly give the Wheel of Punishment it's first run and maybe take some of the pressure off. Anyway the ball is in your court Ant Bear.





Oh I almost forgot, Tony if your watching I can already see a bright future for you in the Sweet FA if you are ever inclined to join.

Barrybran, as resident expert in deliberately hindering the simming team, would you consider the lack of a copy and pasteable team sheet a deliberate hindrance of said team?

Hi Tony, you are now a celebrity of the SFA and will be referred to lovingly by all forever more(except maybe the Bombres). Feel free to take a look around, ask some questions and sign up. Obviously given the incompetence displayed by the Bummers administration you wouldn’t consider them.

Thanks for being a good sport!!!

I have never been any good at Fanasty Football, so I doubt any team would want me. I am like Gold Coast always at the bottom of the table.

In case anyone was wondering, I did sell that Real Madrid top and made a nice profit on it and my mum never did buy me an XBOX 360 but she did buy me a PS3.

The great thing about this place is all you have to do is say “I’m in” and it’s all luck from there, you don’t have to be good at it..... just ask WaynesWorld19

No joke though, you seem like you'd fit right in around here.

If you want to find out more I'd suggest checking out this thread, however it may lead to a flood of emails from desperate fantasy Captains.

Quoting this post. Surely another breach Ant Bear ? Hang the bastard!!
