Ok, so I've added a number of BF bretheren as PSN friends. Only played a few of you though.

Anyone interested in getting a comp going? I can't be bothered waiting for the patch. Basically need to ensure you're on at a certain time to have the match up. We can post times here if you like.

I think a good starting point is a few scratch matches, to see if it works, then I can draw up a fixture.

Any ideas you may have, post them and I'll edit this initial post to tie it all together.

I'm not sure how we should pick teams. I'm thinking use the 17 AFL teams, and have a random draw (or if we don't get 17 participants, random draw and leave out the teams not selected) for who you control.

Have a few random scratch matches to see how it goes. Fixture probably be a play each other once type scenario (unless you all want to go twice for return legs... maybe even play each other twice in the one sitting?)

Final 8 or 6 or whatever?

MAIN RULES:
1. Be ready for your agreed time matches. 15 minutes late and you forfeit. We can use the honour system (also others can see if the person was online or not).
2. No exploiting of standing over the mark.
3. One person controlling a team (obviously).
4. Report your scores here for a ladder tally (so don't quit too early, and have something handy to write it down).
5. You can edit your lineup/tactics however you like each match.

DEALING WITH LAG:
If matches are obviously lag affected, quit during the FIRST quarter only. Message your opponent (allow 5 min for msg to come through) to inform of lag. Check your internetz is not being tied up by something else. Try again. If it occurs a 2nd time, match is to be aborted with option of rescheduling for a later time (agreed upon by both parties, as long as it doesn't conflict with any of their other league matches) or match abandoned and game is drawn 0-0.

SPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT:
1. Time wasting - legitimate tactic if not exploiting the game design. Acceptable tactics include chipping between players, going around the boundary. Unacceptable tactics include wasting time during set shots (ie. just line it up and kick it), exploiting man on mark's immovabilty for a second by playing on backwards and around (can explain this further if required), deliberate 50m penalties during "gimme" goal attempts.
2. Player space - do not go over the mark. Do not encroach on the goalsquare during kickouts (should be 10 metres away from goalsquare). Do not encroach on players taking a set shot (should be 5 metre space around a player).
3. Rucking - Sandilands has an obvious advantage. We all know he does. Punching is a legitimate tactic, but do not overdo it with Sandilands during the centre bounce. Try to punch no more than 1 in 4 centre bounces. Around the ground ball ups and throw ins are free for all.
4. Reporting unsportsmanlike conduct - submit your complaint, in writing, via PM to me. If I receive 2 complaints towards someone, for whatever reason, I will PM them this to notify. 3 complaints are they are named in the thread. 4 complaints and they are suspended from the competition and all of their played games and non-played games are removed from the competition.

UPDATE: Final rules/setup to come. Rules above are a work in progress, so feel free to comment.
Name your preferred team, at this stage. Double ups may be allowable if we have over 17, otherwise, random selections may be required. If you don't want a randomly selected team, please choose one of the following (I will probably pick West Coast or Brisbane... or whomever is left over if all teams are selected):
ADELAIDE
BRISBANE
CARLTON
GOLD COAST
MELBOURNE
NORTH MELBOURNE

Thread for the official competition discussion is: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?p=21497315#post21497315

This thread is for EOI and suggestions/ideas only. Cheers.
 
id be in, although would have to play late matches ( have young children ) also will put my hand up to be the bombers. Also maybe only default teams ( no customs ) and no illninos or hbks cause they will thrash me :)
 
Excellent. Late games suit me also (have a son and a pregnant wife). Also, I'm in WA so can play the night owls from over east pretty easily.

Can I get people who want to sign up to provide their PSN ID and also "hours of operation"?
 
psn is hirdylloydy generally anytime after 10 melbourne time, probably have to have some sort of rule for disconnections, lag etc...

Sounds like fun, havent played as much lately as have been busy with work...

PSN: AndrewParrot
im available after 8pm EST to about 11 EST weekdays (also any time on weekends except saturday from 11-5 and when the hawks are playing)

Think you should be able to pick what team you want to go (from the default teams)

:cool:

I'm in.

Night time, generally after about 9pm EST would be best.

PSN: HBK619
 
im in for the swans. Suggestion give people a week to play their match up and they can organise a time that suits them.
 
Alright guys. 9 players so far. I'm happy for illnino to get in on it (upsets DO happen :p).

For those in red in the OP, please supply your PSN ID and available playing times.

I'd like to also draw consensus on selecting what team to use. I'd like to see all teams in the game used, rather than have something like 4 Collingwoods, 3 Hawthorns, 2 Sydneys, no Gold Coasts, etc.

Does anyone have a major problem with being randomly assigned a team? Or would those who all want the same team be happy to have only one of you "win" the right to be that team?

I'll leave it open for more players to join up. Once we hit 17, we can go from there (or if we don't hit 17 in the next couple of days, we'll work it with what we have).

Any suggestions are also welcome. :)

I'll take the bullet and go with Richmond.:D:eek::eek::eek:
 
Haven't played for a while, but I'll throw my name in.

PSN: Mahama39
Typically available any time in the evening all week (say after 6pm).

As far as teams go, I've played as anyone other than the Bulldogs literally once ever, and that was as the Gold Coast against the AI, so I'd certainly like to stick with what I'm familair with! In my opinion, let everyone choose what they want (even bloody Freo :p)
 
PSN: Buckets_18
Should be able to ruck punch all we want, its a legal part of the game...
I reckon it wouldnt be a true tournament if you can't go what team you wish, who wants to be flogged playing as gold coast? Plus i have only ever played with Fremantle and know how to use them well.
I can play from about 8pm western onwards

I'd be very interested, away all this weekend though, and possibly the weekend after. Elsewise I can usually play at just about any time so long as I'm not out and about.

PSN : Quexacoatl

EDIT: I vote for banning bumping. It works ridiculously compared to how bumping someone works in real life, PURIST FTW :p
 
Very interested as well. Available most nights after 9pm (AEST). I think we need to organise each game as it comes though....
PSN: SaintSkeeta

Happy with random teams. I did a FIFA World Cup tournament like that and it was awesome. (Even though I pulled Honduras).
 
Ok, we've almost hit 17. If we get more, we can double up, I guess. I would like to get every AFL team represented so I don't have to play Fremantle 5 times.

I've placed preferred team next to everyone's name who has nominated one. If everyone else wants to nominate a team, please post otherwise I can randomly assign them.

Now, just because someone has nominated a team already doesn't mean you can't nominate that team. Depending on numbers, let's say we only have 17, if we have more than one person who wants Fremantle, I will randomly draw for the right to be Freo. The others will have to be assigned a random team, or can nominate a second team they would like to be (preferably, this time, one that hasn't been nominated). Sound fair?

I'll see how it goes today with interest and then lock in the number of players playing. Please check this thread regularly guys. :) We can then sort out teams and then we can start scratch matches.
