New money league recruitment, mini-draft every week

[taivt]

Also, could everyone agree to finish out the season (baring catastrophic events) or at least put your players back into the pool so that we don't lose players out of the draft market

When I can not continue the game, I decide to keep the team unchanged instead of putting players to the pool because the league will continue with fixtures of my team, if I remove players , the following fixtures will be easier than the previous fixtures.

Maybe the 10 pounds could be used for third place? an incentive to get a free game next year?

sound a good idea.

I see what you are saying taivt but your team SHOULD have been easier to play because you would otherwise have lost your top scoring player, but they were still there. No worries but its a game that relies on everyone to see it through if possible...

[DAREEL]

yes i am in , as to fees it needs to be up for discussion as Dareel had deductions out of his winnings and I still have 10 pounds on hold for the pot. That can be sent to someone along with my entry for this season or can be held for now, but still it incurs fees when transferred to UK, that are excessive relative to the small amount being sent.
I have since found that when sending to UK that TransferWise is much cheaper for small amounts worldwide, it goes from Bank Account to Bank Account though. I used it to pay SamD and no worries, there is a referral incentive for the first transfer fee that is free.
Also, could everyone agree to finish out the season (baring catastrophic events) or at least put your players back into the pool so that we don't lose players out of the draft market and don't have to beat Average. I still believe its a game where anyone can come from last position in a few short weeks so worth playing out.

Agree on all points. I don't care about losing a few quid on pay pal fees though in all honesty. Not a problem as i wouldn't want the sender out of pocket.

The only other thing is if in the small chance the game gets cancelled for COVID. I suggest we have a cut off point. Or some rule on how far the leader has to be in front to be declared the winner. I didn't really like the " lets cancel entire game idea " after 30 games of effort but i will go with majority . Just be good to know what to expect if the worse happens.

yes, well if the game gets stalled again and can not restart where it left off we should abandon it because it' s a game of timing and, as it was the first season we don't really know what would have happened had there been no interruption, we know Ardrageen had a mighty strong team that looked like it would peak at the right time, and Dareel beat the odds by keeping the lead after appearing to have a team in decline, but there were advantages and disadvantages for everyone for various reasons during the Lockdown due to Covid-19 and when Winter comes, (i'm less optimistic that there is a " small chance" - as the RNA is changing), if there was an interruption after 30 games then maybe I could agree to half the prize being paid out but it would have to be decided by consensus vote at the time. Such is the ability to rise and fall in rankings quickly.

I do know what you are saying . It was more the work put in felt wasted more than the cash as we do spend a bit of time on this. I had to with the dross i had to play with

I like the half pay out after 30 games but i certainly am not going to object to abandoning the game so long as it is clear from the start. Tai should have final say but one to maybe get opinion on from all members.

Definitely think the rule about people missing their player should stand. No one picks them up in that Gameweek? If they miss them completely maybe then they should be freed up to everyone the following game week? Thoughts?

Dino as a new member please feel free to have an opinion on any of the rules etc. Tai ultimately makes the rules but last year we were open to opinions
