Ultimate Footy

[JACKATTACK 17]

Here is the game rules for the 2010 season.

http://www.ultimatefooty.com/help/

There are a number of different systems that canbe run, but I prefer the head to head category based scoring system. There are a number of new features that will be introduced for 2011, some of which will try and deal with the fact that there will be at least a bye everyweek. How exactly that will work I can't be sure.

I've counted 36 people looking to play.

Just thought I'd whet people's appetites by bringing this thread back to the forefront of the board.

Some/all of the new features for 2011 are up.

Doesn't say when the site goes live but from what they've said on their Facebook page it doesn't sound like too much longer.

send reminder when you can sign up

[scarlett 247]

i'll be in it.

[JACKATTACK 17]

My guess is that it will go live after they finish counting down the top ten players. They're currently doing it daily And they just named 7.

When the site is up i will create a league.

For those who care, the named players so far:

10: Boyd

9: pendlebury

8: cross

7: swallow

Cross is a quality Ufooty player.

Demonland League 1 is open for anyone who wants in:

www.ultimatefooty.com

Maximum of 16 teams for ths one, then someone will have to put their hand up to run another league.

League ID: 228354

Password: TS4MFCIN12

Please use your Demonland name as your team name so we all know who we're dealing with.

I have set the draft method as "online" which means this:

This league will conduct an Online Draft starting Monday February 28 at 9:00 AM (AEDT).

The draft will operate between 9 AM and 10 PM (AEDT). Each team will have a maximum of 2 hours 0 minutes per pick.

If we get 16 people on we can move the draft forward or leave longer/or shorter for each pick and so on. If you miss your pick, you'll have a selection made automatically for you at the end of the 2 hours. The automatic pick will be the highest projected ranking player available, which is usually pretty good in my experience. Draft order will be random (unless I get pick 16, in which case I will re-randomise it until I get something better).

I have decided to upgrade our league to UltimateFooty PLUS, to get a few extra features and because I think the website is fantastic and i'd like to support it. The cost of this is $29.95, which I have paid. Instead of paying me, please make a donation to MFC (or demonland maybe) of at least $1.87.

Beyond that there isn't much to know, the best thing to do to prepare for the drafting is to read the rules so you can understand what makes a player good at Ultimate footy.(usually a player that can well across lots of categories).

Please only join if you think you can commit a reasonable amount of time to the whole thing, UFooty takes up much less time than SC/DT to be competative, but it is annoying when people forget to at least check to see if their players are playing.

See you there!

I did it last year, but I don't think there will be many with experience apart from me, if any at all.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Well done JA... Mum would be proud.

Do have school on Monday for the draft, but I'll manage. Two sessions on computers plus my school laptop...

Well done JA, joined without any probs.

I;m looking forward to this. Rookie year.

Last year was my 1st experience with DT / SC.

[jayceebee31 761]

Half way there, 8 spots remaining.

JA- jayceebee31 has joined. Sincere thanks.

Would love to but can't do the draft time!

Draft will run over a few days probably, and if people think a weekend would be better i am happy to change it to say saturday from 9:00am? Also it isn't absolutely crucial that you are available for the draft all the time, the auto picks are clever, or you can pre-rank your players and have your preferred selection picked in your absence. I may also drop the 2hour default time to 1 hour or 30 minutes so we can get through it a bit quicker. I haven't actually done the draft in this way before so it might take 1 day, it might take 3 weeks.

Just on the draft order i will make it random and that will be put up once we fill up the 16 spots. To clarify; the draft order for the second round is in reverse order from the first round, and the third back to the order of the first. So there is little advantage in having pick 1 because your next pick is 32.

Hello. First time poster and now first time Ultimate Footy Participant

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

just joined, stoked

[45HG 1,559]

...

Fantastic, thanks mate. A non Monday would be great for me as I teach, but up to you and others really.

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

yeh in relation to draft, i am at uni and what not but will be an easy fix, and i just have work from 330-715 again not too bigger issue as the player nomination looks pretty good

side note, my other league i am doing with mates and we are thinking of rolling like a 8-11 kinda business, with like 1 minute draft time, having said that its probably not everones cup of tea and would be quite frantic haha
