How many games of league experience are sufficient in your opinion Horry?

It is Captaincy and Committee experience that counts here. thewizardmelon has one season experience and por_please_ya and Falconista had zero before Round 1.

By contrast, philreich is up with Methuselah on Captaincy and Committee experience. Maybe that explains why he slept through the Committee’s decisions and in the drafting of the Smarmies’ team sheet.

How many teamsheets have they seen you reckon? ball park figure?

I expect they have seen heaps, but drafted and proof read very few. Uncle Phil is in a different ball park. IMO the Smarmies should have accepted the penalty and moved on.
 
4 days isn’t enough to get a team sheet in?
The reason we have the deadline is to give simmers and posters time to input changes, sim the games and organise who’s available to post them. All games are also checked and approved before posting. Being as everyone has a life on weekends it’s fair to give the simming group plenty of time to get it done. Sometimes last minute s**t happens and some swapping and changing has to be done.

Thats why deadline is Thurs 11:59pm (Vic Bias time)
Make it 3am Friday.

I honestly forgot about the exact template and rules on commas and hyphens. I was more concerned all the names were spelt correctly and in the positions we had discussed. Well now I won't forget this one.
 
Guys, guys, let's not allow arguments to get in the way of us collectively laughing at the admin's team, who has breached the rules before round 1 two seasons in a row.

Make sure you throw it up in your LG pm for everyone to check, double check and triple check, we all do that...I’ve never put up a teamsheet without it being checked to within an inch of it’s life. You have some very experienced players in your team, you can ask them too even if they arn’t in LG.
Just make sure it looks exactly like the template in every way and there’s no issue :)

You’re a good egg, you’ll learn and move on and probably never make another mistake :D

Great idea Wosh. And if you do this and still get it wrong, por_please_ya, you will be able to throw your LG under the bus as well.
 
In saying that I’m a bit torn about the Gumbies one, for sure Falconista knew when deadline is, but technically the AEDT wasn’t there so loophole and fair grounds for appeal 🤷‍♀️
I reckon captains should just wear these but appeals are there so you can’t blame them for using them.
Natalie Imbruglia disagrees.

It is a clear cut four (4) point Gumbies penalty. Every. Day. Of. The. Week.

You missed my point, there shouldn’t be an appeals process for teamsheets. None.
But there is so Falc followed the rules, appealed, and got off on a technicality through the voting process.

It’s the vibe.

Falconista ’s charge wasn’t Teamsheet related

Yeah sorry squad submission in his case. If appeals are there then he’s allowed to use them fair and square...and he did.
Remove the appeals process.
 
Our friends the Baghdad Bombers may have ‘unintentionally’ breached the rules governing the in-season recruitment of new and returning players. BLUEALLTHRU seems to have shot off changes to the Bombers’ Squad ahead of stitching up a deal with the Rookie,kenneyswarriors . Mr K Warriors was recorded as a Bomber in a Squad change on Monday but delisted on Wednesday.

It seems Tigerturbulance and his OOBs are using the right process and kudos to them. Best of luck to Kenny as he commences what is hopefully an illustrious career in the SweetFA.

The rule is certainly a bit wobbly regarding the new player's team choice after the peacocking process - especially if done in PMs. Given the player hasn't complained publicly it would be hard to convict though.

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:


Name (your BigFooty username):
Preferred Position 1:
Preferred Position 2:
Preferred Position 3:
Number:
Height:
Weight:
Preferred Team (if you have one):
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 until the teamsheet deadline.

Thanks for that. For me it is clear the player in question was still negotiating and for whatever reason BLUEALLTHRU posted on Monday without seeking clarification. Hard to prove, no doubt. It will be interesting to watch how Kennedy Parker handles this.
