Well its nearly that time again so I thought I better start a thread for the league.

I have contacted each manager and the ins are -

Crow Muncher (last years champ)
Grimlock
White Rhino
Renegade
Borgsta
Gee Cat
Showbag
Eastaugh36
Hans Moleman
Knowledge
Falchoon (a manager from a couple of years back who has re-joined the fold, welcome back fritz!)
AndSmithMustScore ( an experienced recruit to fill the final spot, welcome!)

DBAH0 is an out for this season and I guess Sog is too (he hasnt replied to any pm's)



We are a couple of weeks ahead in planning this year which is good.
Any suggestions,comments etc can go in here and then we can begin working out the structure of the league.
Looking forward to another great season! :thumbsu:

Still waiting on confirmation from Knowledge,Sog & Hans Moleman.
DBAH0 is an out for this season.

Depending on the remaining managers we can either go with a 10 team league or 12 team league as we have in the past but we will need to get at least one new manager in if we go 12 teams.

you could recruit me back :thumbsu:
 
So we now have 11 managers who are in. I have an idea on a guy who could fill the last spot and can pm him tonight.

What are everyones thoughts on the format of the league? Head to head seems to always work well.
Draft? Bigfooty drafts have been succesful for us over the past couple of seasons. I would be keen to do this again.

Leave any suggestions in this thread.
I will pm everyone later to let them know a thread has been started for discussion as we setup the league.

Prize also sounds interesting...

Yeah I will let you all know in the next few days but I think it's good to add a surprise in every now and then. We all enjoy it obviously but this will add something to make our league even more unique. The winner should be rewarded with more than just the title of champion too!
 
Happy to stick with last year's format, H2H, with a BF draft. Might want to get started soon though, seeing as we have just over a month to go.

Great. So head to head and a bigfooty draft?
Has anyone started their rankings yet? As someone said earlier, I really enjoy doing the rankings and then the bigfooty draft. :)
 
sorry guys been really busy this week with uni and such. I'll get rankings done by tomorrow (monday) night.
 
So how is everyone going with their draft orders? I don't really do it myself, I do my drafting on the fly. I don't have an order I stick to.
Hopefully we can be ready start the draft by the start of next weekend. Let me know.

I will go about getting the draft order done using the keno method again.
This is the site - http://www.gogokeno.com/results/

We will use QLD results and the results we will go by will be the first game for tomorrow, 23/9/07. Results normally take a couple of days to be on the site though.

We will go by the draw #1 that takes place tomorrow (Tuesday). 1st pick in the draft goes to the manager who's number gets drawn first and we continue on using as many draws as necessary for each manager to get a number drawn, thus determining the draft order. eg. if the numbers are in this order, 20 38 2 15 11 the order will be Showbag, Eastaugh36, Hans Moleman, Grimlock, Knowledge and so on etc etc until each team has had a number drawn

Here are the number allocations -

Hans Moleman 1-6
Knowledge 7-12
Grimlock 13-18
Showbag 19-24
Crow Muncher 25-30
White Rhino 31-36
Eastaugh36 37-42
Renegade 43-48
Gee Cat 49-54
Falchoon 55-60
AndSmithMustScore 61-66
Borgsta 67-72

After this we can start the draft! I don't think registrations are open yet but that doesn't mean we can't get the draft started!
