Welcome to Season 6 of the Aviva Premiership fantasy rugby game. Below are the rules of the game which must be adhered to. If there are any situations that arise in the course of the game which are not covered by the rules, a final decision will be made by the RFU (SJE) as to how the situation will be resolved.
Senior Squads wrote:
The maximum squad size is 40 senior players. If a team has more than 40 players in their squad then they will be fined £1 million per player over the permitted amounts per day for the first seven days. If after 7 consecutive days a team still has more than the permitted number of players then the team will be fined £2 million per player per day, and fined 1 league point per player per day for the next seven days. If after this time a team still has more than the permitted number of players in their squad, the RFU (me) will remove players at its discretion to bring them back under the permitted numbers. There will be no right of appeal to players being removed.
Be aware that all tier one international matches which are played during the season will count in the game, and players selected in the match day 23's for those matches will not be eligible to play for their clubs on that weekend, therefore you must give due consideration to the make-up of your squad.
Academy Rules wrote:
Each team will be allowed to have an academy squad of 20 players. Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1991.
Any player, who is at any Premiership club in real life, either in their senior, academy or AASE squads, can be bid for on the domestic bidding page. Players who are at your own club in real life and are coming through the academy system must be bid for if you want them in your own academy.
Transfers wrote:
- Domestic (other AP Teams)
Each team has a budget to use in the purchase of players. Domestic transfers between AP clubs, regardless of nationality of player, should be negotiated between the respective managers, and then confirmed on the Domestic Transfer Confirmation Page.- Domestic (Championship and below)
Each team may during the season purchase no more than 5 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. These players must be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by me on its own merits before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.- Foreign
To make a foreign transfer (i.e. from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made on the Foreign Transfers Page, which will be considered by me against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.
There will be a summer foreign transfer window, which will run as follows.
Structured Window
No cash will be used and each team will get effectively free transfers by way of a draft, which will run 12th, 11th, 10th …… 1st, 12th, 11th,10th… 1st place side. This will run from 10th June 2013 until all teams have had their two picks.
Open Window
Open transfer window, teams have unlimited bids provided they have the financial resources to cover them. Teams may only bid for one player at a time.
Player Releases wrote:
Managers may choose to release players from their clubs, for which they will be offered compensation
Compensation will be paid as follows
£2 million – current international (must have played international rugby in the previous 12 months)
£1.5 million – former international
£1m – top flight experience
£0.5m – other
All released players will be deemed to have joined a Championship side and can be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page.
Retirements wrote:
There will be no compensation for retiring players. Should a player who retires decide to come out of retirement and play again, then he will automatically go back to the club who he was playing for in the game when he retired.
Fixtures wrote:
There will be 22 Aviva Premiership games per season, plus the play offs. There will also be Heineken Cup, Amlin Challenge Cup and Anglo Welsh Cup matches. These games will take place once a week. A match thread will be put up every Monday. Home teams must be named by midnight on Tuesday. Away teams must be named by midnight on Wednesday. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 20:00 hours on Saturday. Managers will post the scores that they think will happen from these games (apart from games in which they are involved). An average of all predictions will be taken, and then 0.5 points added to each teams score for each prediction that had them as the winner, and that will then be the final score.
Managers are asked to provide detail as to why they have predicted a result. To be considered a descriptive prediction this must be a full 3 lines long when entered into the text box. If you are not providing a descriptive prediction you will be restricted to predicting a 1 point win either way.
Teams wrote:
When naming your team, not only should you put the starting XV and replacements, but also tactics that your team will employ. Results will be affected by the tactics described.
In addition, each team must have the following:-
At least 10 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 4 of those must be in your starting XV.
At least 2 props and 1 hooker on the bench.
All players must be eligible (not injured or banned).
Failure to comply with these rules will result in forfeiting the match and a 1 league point deduction.
If you fail to submit a team for a match, then the other team will be automatically awarded a 30-0 bonus point win. If both teams fail to submit a team, then it will be scored as a 0-0 draw.
Injuries and Suspensions wrote:
Injuries in this game do NOT reflect real life, they will be generated by me.
Players banned in real life will be ineligible for selection in this game for the duration of the ban.
Inclusion of injured/banned players will result in them being replaced by players on the bench, and the bench not having eight players, which may result in punishment if it concerns the front-row.
Punishment for fielding an ineligible player will be loss of one match point for a first offence, two for a second offence and so on.
Financial Rewards wrote:
There will be no rewards for the result of an individual match, instead the managers will receive cash for predicting.
£2m for descriptive predictions
£0.25m for scores on the doors predictions
If you fail to predict without first advising me that you are unable to do so that week, you will be fined £1m for a first offence, £2m for a second offence, £3m for a third offence etc.
AP finishing positions.
Champions: 8m
Runners Up: 6m
Playoff Semi Finalist Losers: 5m
5th: 4m
6th: 3.5m
7th: 3m
8th: 2.5m
9th: 2m
10th: 1.5m
11th: 1m
12th: 0.5m
Heineken Cup
Losing Quarter Finalists - £2 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £3 million each
Runners Up - £4 million
Champions - £5 million
Amlin Challenge Cup
Losing Quarter Finalists - £1 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £3 million
Champions - £4 million
Anglo-Welsh Cup
Losing Semi Finalist - £1 million each
Runners Up - £2 million
Champions - £3 million
If your budgets falls below minus £10 million for any reason, the administrators (ozzy3213) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

I knew it reminded me of something Steve, I'm a little old for JW.
They're getting stuck in, Morgan is so short of form though. Really worrying.
Jackson has looked great this season, think I may regret selling him

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
Lawes really upped his game this season, Mallinder has given him a lot more responsibility and seems to have really come off for them. Good that Launchbury and Parling are also in good form, seems a really strong position for us at the moment.
Tom Wood was brilliant today, just bullied Tipuric rigbt out of the game, would have him as England captain.

I like Hopper but he can switch off defensively, not much gets past Lowe.
Goode was quality against Toulouse but Brown has to start. Foden just looks nothing of late, he was all over today.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
I'd prefer Goode personally, I think Foden is a liability.
I hope we're not looking at an engine room of Parling/Lawes in the AI. For all Lawes was good today he carries like Borthwick, him and Parling would struggle imo, too similar.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
big game this weekend Pooly, Falcons v Irish!
I think with you being at home you will start as slight favourites. Big win for either side though can lift them up towards 7th place and start looking up rather than down.
We will definitely not have Yarde and I think Treviranus will be with Samoa which is a blow but we might have Hala'ufia back and Tagicakibau is playing well again and can come in for Yarde.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
We've got a bucket load of injuries so be an interesting game.
If we get a LH back I'd fancy us at home, our scrum has been great and pack should get on top.
Yarde out is a big bonus for us, should be a good one.

Our scrum has been ok this season except from getting a pasting at Bath. But we held up well against Sarries, Quins and Exeter. Having Skivington and Gough in the engine room helps.
Who you got out injured?

Montenella
Shiels (was on bench at weekend)
Brookes (niggle)
Lawson (just back, not sure if he got injured again)
Saull
Barnes
Shortland (just back)
Helluer (not sure if he's back yet)
All pretty key for us, props have been missed with Vickers playing LH. Squads a bit thin with 3 retirements this season, centre a real issue.

Big Trev shouldn't be with Samoa, this weekend is outside of the international window, Yarde will only be missing as part of the EPS agreement. Really hope Hala'ufia is back, want to see 6. Cowan 7. Treviranus 8. Hala'ufia out there on Sunday!stnick88 wrote:big game this weekend Pooly, Falcons v Irish!

There are no international games this weekend, so everyone is available if the rules are as they have been in previous seasons.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
Really interesting calls with the players that Lancaster has released for England this week.
Looks like Joel Tomkins will be starting at 13 with Eastmond and Burrell released and then between Goode and Foden for the 15 shirt, and Yarde and Strettle for the other wing spot.

because we have space in the salary cap for him whereas most decent prem teams don't!

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
It proves he's lost the plot really.
Why sign for a struggling AP team??? Surely of his talents could at least command HEC rugby.
I'd be saying the same if he signed for Falcons, absolutley crazy.
I'd be chuffed if I was an Irish fan though!

Or maybe he needs a slightly less pressured environment for a bit, and he needs to play, which he will at Irish, as opposed to getting rotated if he went to one of the bigger sides.

i am proper chuffed pooly. even if its only for a few months, the boost it will give the club is massive in so many ways.
