2016 MARATHON STADIUM DRAFT - EXPRESSIONS OF INTERST
It's that time of the year again ladies and gents !!!
The 2016 Marathon Stadium Draft is upon us and we are looking for our participants !!
The official thread will be up in the next week or two so keep an eye out for it !!
Priority will be given to participants from last year but we have set aside a few spots for new players
So if you have never played before or you want to play again please submit your interest along with your team's name !!
The winner will be decided the same way as we did last year
Rules
YOU MUST be on the forums regularly during the off season (preference once a day)
Failure to make your selection within the time limit will result in a warning, After 3 warnings you will be excluded
If you are going on holidays it is vital you notify either junior11 or rhugh89 so we can arrange to put your picks through for you
Each side chooses 24 players (possibly to be reassessed when we reach the end of the draft, if we think there's enough players left to make the squads bigger)
Your teams can be made up of up to FOUR Superleague players, ONE retiree (a player who retired from the NRL during 2014 or 2015) and an unlimited amount of NRL, Holden Cup, NSW Cup or Queensland Cup players
This limit applies to trades as well e.g - If you already have 1 retiree you can't trade another retiree into your team
Retiree picks can not be used as part of a trade deal, Only standard picks can be used
A retiree is defined as a player who retired in the previous 2 seasons
Retiree Picks are marked (R)
Each random order will be run through TWO times, first from top to bottom, then reversed
Then the order will be re-randomised again
Bottom two
Bottom two players in order are given preference for next order
This means that if you are at the bottom of the list you can choose where you want to be in the following order & given automatic selection
You can not choose to be in the bottom two again though, Everyone will get a turn being bottom 2 in an effort to make the competition as fair as possible
Each player has 24 hours to make their pick
This is in case you are unable to get to a computer during this time, however I encourage you to make your pick ASAP, for the benefit of other players in the game and also so your player does not miss selection
If a 'coach' pulls out, and nobody steps up to take over the side, that side's players that have already been chosen are OUT of the draft and are not available for selection by any other team
There will be three trading windows
During this time, trades arranged with other teams can be announced
These could be a straight player for player swap, or several players from one team for one player from another
If a team ends up with less than 24 players, they can make more selections to fill up their squad at the end of the draft (once all other teams are full)
Trades are negotiated through private message with both coaches, and then both coaches need to confirm the trade in the thread for trade to be official
The trading windows will be announced by Junior11 and rhugh89 in due course
