[BrissyCrow]

Just letting crowholder Eddie Murphy and OldCrowBloke to place your selection in for this round. Again it doesnt have to be before tonights game so long as its before the start of the game that your selection is playing in. So if you want to select Adelaide you have until Sunday Arvo. Best of luck

I appreciate you running these comps... I would never have the time to do so So I didn't mind the extra heads up

BrissyCrow - Rule proposal (Too late for this competition, but what about going forward?)

I propose that we introduce a rule which rules out selecting against a team under a % threshold.

I'm thinking 70%.

So with this proposal. You couldn't tip against these teams in these rounds

Opening Round -
Rd 1 - Richmond
Rd 2 - Collingwood, North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, West Coast
Rd 3 - Hawthorn, West Coast
Rd 4 - North Melbourne, Hawthorn, West Coast
Rd 5 - North Melbourne, Hawthorn, West Coast
Rd 6 - North Melbourne, Hawthorn, West Coast
Rd 7 - North Melbourne
Rd 8 - North Melbourne, Hawthorn
Rd 9 - North Melbourne
Rd 10 - North Melbourne, Richmond
Rd 11 - North Melbourne, Richmond

I'm not too fond of the idea of basically deciding in a new game 'no tipping against x' as that team could be bad now, but hit form soon and by the time the game ends, there's a worse team that people can tip against.

But by setting a percentage like above. It changes every week. Sure, it's harder to plan as it's a moving and changing battlefield. But I think it'd be funner than oh. Who does North Melbourne play this week.

I agree that simply selecting against North each week isnt what we like to see, Last year I did put in a place a restriction that allowed players to select a team playing against West Coast only once. That restriction was put into place for say GAME 1 but it could have been removed for GAME 2. So every knew that rule would stay in place for the duration of a GAME. Giving players the ability to have only one opportunity against those week teams and is easier for everyone to plan their game strategy. If we put in place a process of changing restrictions every week players may find it difficult to plan their selection options.

Happy to consider other ideas as well but I would prefer to still have a situation where players can manage their strategy. At this stage I would be happy to restrict players to only allow them to tip a team playing against North once or not allow any tipping against North. But as for restricting against the Eagles, Tigers and Hawks I wouldn't act on those given their current ability to cause upsets.

If anyone else has any suggestions for rule changes I am more than happy consider and new ideas or changes to the current rules. Changes will only be put in place when a new GAME commences.
