Resource S29 Sign-up Thread and Useful Links (New players wanted)

[Ant Bear]

Hello friends. The Sweet FA clubs are always looking for new players. If you have the ability to banter without taking it too seriously, please fill out the questionnaire below, and you will be offered a spot on a list for the new season starting late January.

WHAT IS THE SWEET F.A AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

• Social Fantasy Football League
• Design your player as you wish by signing up to the league
• Sign up with 1 of our 12 league clubs
• Your captain will choose your position that you play in (posting activity will get you a better position)
• Engage in banter for a week with your opposition in match threads
• Each Sunday (Round) two teams go head-to-head in a simulated game
• The simulated game is a text form of an AFL game
• The simulator is completely random
• The simulator generates 'statistics' for how you and your team played
• Home & Away Season & Finals Series
• Mobbenfuhrer Medal night (our version of the Brownlow, and various other awards)!
• MEDALS: You can achieve BigFooty profile medals/badges by being in the league

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

That, my friend is very simple. In order to sign up and be registered as a player you need to fill out the following form. Once you have filled out the form, you will have Club captains approaching you to join their club. What club you choose is totally up to you.

There is a 24 hour time period in which you can not be signed to allow for clubs to bid for your services. Please make it clear in this thread which club you intend to play for, otherwise your most recent selection or the first club named in your application may claim you.

Nice work AB. You might want to add the caveat about players being able to freely sign with any club until the squad submission deadline.

What about the caveat that they all must sign for the Gumbies?

There's 12 teams, mang. We understand that teams like the Bombers could use some help.

(If you're new, I'm kidding! Please come and check out the Gumbies.)

In saying this you have highlighted what a large field we have to choose from.

Can it wait until after SoO? New players don't really need to use this thread in the off season anyway.

No concept of how much recruiting work you do for other teams, it's actually sad.

Easy to mock from the cheap seats Wayno.

Clubs should do their own recruiting ..... it ain't hard ...just lazy to call in Dingster

It's actually not easy. You were at the Bombers where they just stole established players, that's different.

Instead of rolling your eyes, roll up your sleeves, for the good of the SFA.
