Can someone send a global PM with a link to last year's game?


yep - send me some wording and I'll ping it out as a golbal PM - hopefully we'll get a few more interested as it's quite an engaging game once you get into it

The last auction I attended I bought some terracotta plant pots for a song, that was 45 years ago so I think this might be out of my leage but I'll give it a go. Someone has to come last.

Maybe it might be a better idea to cut the rounds in the auction? Say for instance have two or three rounds, taking away the old round where people can outbid the top bid??

I hope the rules of this game will be explained in greater detail than I've read so far:

How big will a manager's budget be, is it unlimited?
Do we have players from teams in both divisions of the championship or only div one?
What are transfers about are you obliged to participate?

Assuming that you don't need me to do anything before the Easter weekend - and assuming that you could still do with an extra body - then I'm happy to put my hand up again.

I will be posting bits and pieces regularly. Just waiting for the pricing information to become available then we can crack on...

well worth reading last years thread. It looks quite complicated..... no, it is quite complicated, but okay once you get the hang of it.

I've forgotten most of the rules, if I'm honest.

The only planned difference is to the bonus points structure, which will now be based on each team's performance rather than margin of victory/defeat.

Any questions, feel free to ask :)

Just read the first two pages out of 63 pages of last years thread and my brain is already hurting.
