ITT: people who haven't actually read the rules
I dunno. 5A does say the 'whole team sheet'. But it also no longer says you need to list the changes to a side, despite this not being noted by the admin as an amendment.

My take is if you add superfluous information, that is spelt incorrectly, then you are clearly deliberately hindering the simmers and should burn for your crimes.

In addition, if you sneakily remove rules despite initially stating your intention to do so, you should be hung, drawn and quartered.

I'm not sure I follow your argument
5A requires correct spelling of every name through the whole team sheet. The Furies have deliberately chosen to include extra names, and maliciously spelled one incorrectly. The hindrance to the simmers is truly immense! (surely)

On the second note, the draconian league admin has altered 5A from its S33 form... in secret! One might ask whether the governor general approved this.

As a simmer, I'm so aggrieved /s

There goes my perfect team sheet record :(

Gee the Furies would be in a world of strife right now if I didn't deregulate the team sheet rules to no longer penalise the changes.

Looks like neoliberalism wins again.

Imagine the drama you've missed.

Going against what you set out to achieve. Sad.
 
Round 3: Ophidian Old Boys Breach of 4D
Tigerturbulance 24 hours before you can add him to your squad submission.

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. The 24 hour period rule can be waived, only if the team does not have enough eligible players to fill the team and less than 24 hours remains until the teamsheet deadline.

This still applies Kennedy Parker ?

My mistake, missed the time as PM not AM, I went with 24hrs had past.
AxialMat7 has accepted to join us in PM and isn't going to anyone else, would you like me to remove him from team list and add tonight?

The Ophidian Old Boys have been charged with a Minor Offence under 6B for the incorrect signing of player AxialMat7 under rule 4D.

4D) Free Agency

Off-Season


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 make a post on the main Sweet FA forum confirming their participation with their 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.

In-Season

After the squad submission deadline, listed players are contracted to their club. However, any players that were delisted by the club's voluntary action 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).

The player must enter the team sign up thread and the same process applies as if they were a new or returning player to the Sweet FA.

Once a player has moved clubs within the season through In-Season Free Agency, they may not move clubs again until the following season through any means.

New/Returning Players

The official process for signing players during the season under the new/returning category is that 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:

The official process for signing players during the season under In-Season Free Agency 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:

Preferred Position 1:
Preferred Position 2:
Preferred Position 3:
Number:

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. The 24 hour period rule can be waived, only if the team does not have enough eligible players to fill the team and less than 24 hours remains

6B) Minor Offence

The following list of offences will result in an Official Warning under a 'Three-Strike Policy'. Every THIRD Official Warning within a season will result in a 2 point deduction in the league standings.
  • Failing to satisfy the maximum squad list requirement in season (30 eligible players) as per 4A
  • Incorrect squad changes as per 4B
  • Incorrect player signing as per 4C and 4D
  • Naming an ineligible player on a team sheet as per 5B
  • Incorrect spelling of player names in a team sheet as per 5A
  • Incorrect team sheet formatting as per 5A
  • Any post in the squad submission thread notifying a squad change that did not occur as per 4A & 4B

In this case AxialMat7 filled out the signup form at 10:31pm AEST and Tigerturbulance added him onto the OOB squad at 10:34am the subsequent day meaning that only 12 hours has passed from sign-up to listing. The 24 hour period has not been allowed for and therefore this constitutes an incorrect signing under 4D.

The Ophidian Old Boys have now been issue STRIKE 2 under rule 6B and another minor offence will result in a 2-point penalty being applied.

Summary of Strikes:

Strike 1:
West Coast Wonders
Coney Island Warriors

Strike 2:
Ophidian Old Boys

Tigerturbulance Elton Johns Wig if you wish to appeal this charge please give notification of this within 24 hours of this post.*

6E) Notification

If players or teams wish to dispute raised penalties, they may submit appeals by post in this thread, by private message, or by committee representative to the league administration which describes mitigating evidence within 24 hours of being notified of the penalty by the administration.

The administration will make subsequent posts confirming either or all of:
  • the acceptance of a penalty
  • that an appeal has been made per 6D, and the origin of the appeal
  • the result of any appeal, and the applied penalty
The statute of limitations for raising a penalty is 1 week from the team sheet submission deadline. This means that if a team cannot be 'retrospectively' penalised for a violation that occurred more than 1 week prior, for which they were never given a notification for.




*Note: this is done for obligatory notification purposes. Unless you successfully manage to argue that you have warped time-space an appeal for this kind of case would probably be dismissed out of hand.
