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.

Cole out of the Six Nations. So Wilson in which isn't bad as he gets some vital game time. 

Jones is at Saints just updated my page.

Big loss.....Isn't Wilson injured?

If we have to start Thomas I honestly can't see us competing at the scrum.

Could actually be a blessing. Many people were talking
Of Wilson having the shirt ahead of cole before he got injured.
He is a better scrummager and much improved.

Thomas is way off being ready

Wilson is only just back from injury though and looked out of sorts, I'm told, against Exeter

Shudder to think who would be next. Young Wilson looks a super prospect though. Brooke's would be a way off for
Me but the options are seriously limited

Brookes is a good scrummager, he'd be ok against Ireland. He destroyed Marler earlier in season and got on top a fair bit yesterday I read. He's our best scrummaging option after Wilson/Cole

I think he'd make as much an impact as say Ross would for Ireland around the park. My only worry would be him up against Healy

I heard we got a fair few pens at the scrum CJ.

Brookes is handy around the park, I think he's much better than Thomas who I don't rate at all

Phew! Didn't think that signing would go through from the press last week.

If he can make the transition to union we've got our no12 shirt problems sorted.

I didn't think he'd come tbh.

Will be some challenge to make the WC squad with no pre-seaon in union. Different sort of player to Williams. He may need to learn how to use his arms in the tackle though! That boy can hit.

Makes you wonder how Bath can afford him though! They've got so many English backs - Deveto and Watson are two of the best young talents around and then throw in Ford, JJ, the Fijian/English wing and Eastmond (wont mention Banahan for Mat's sanity)...salary cap must be v close to full!

Can't imagine Eastmond being to happy.

I think he might end up at 6, he lacks the gas and distribution for 12.

Not sure he lacks the distribution at all. Got an amazing all round game. One of my favourite players to watch, incredible to get 4 brothers all playing at that level. Imagine having to defend Burgess and Tuilagi, or trying to run through them! Would be a scary prospect.

Can't see England picking him to play at no6 when that is an area we've got some v good players, Tom Wood is top class. Think he's best no6 in Europe.

Apparently the RFU want him at 12, but Bath want to play him at 6. Could be an interesting battle there.

He doesn't have great distribution, quite poor really if you think he'd be playing 12. He's pretty slow too, I imagine he'll be targeted straight away.

Can see him maybe working at 6 but I'd be surprised if he became a good 12.

Offloading game is top rate, which is why I say he's a good distributor. Passing is ok, but you know what you'd get from him - get over the gainline and massive defence.

Lack of pace doesn't hinder Jamie Roberts Pooly...

You can tell how highly rated he is when guys like Foloa say he'll be a huge success in union.

Roberts isn't slow, he's a sprinter compared to Burgess.

I'm sceptical, for every Robinson/SBW there's a Farrell, Smith.

He's a beast but does he possess a brain?

It's all pure guess work at this stage tbh, he could flop or he could be a success.

I'd put a fair whack on him not being starting England 12 by the WC though.

More of a whack than when you said Launchbury and Lawes would never work as a second row pairing...Smile

Is a huge ask for anyone to switch codes that quickly, espc with no pre-season behind him. I'd be amazed if he did it.

Haha.

I do think Burgess can be a success but I don't see anything at centre. He might have to trim down a little, you don't see many mobile 18st centres.

I hope it works out - he's got to be in top 2-3 names in rugby league at the moment. Is a massive signing for Bath.

Would say Burgess is deceptively quick for someone so big - he'll never run length of the pitch but get him 15-20 metres away from the try line and he's a unit and a half to take down.

Lancaster seems to want two big carrying centres, so fits the bill. How long before SBW made the All Blacks?

Just over 2 years, nearly 4 before he became a starter

SBW is a very different player to Burgess, he can pass and is pretty quick for starters.

I think SBW started in the backrow and swapped over to centre after a season.

He did, because he was not good in the backrow. Though his play in the world cup was off the bench as a supersub mostly as a winger

Then he nailed the 12 shirt post WC.

SBW is a freak, Burgess doesn't have his skill set although Burgess is better in contact.

Yep. Nearly 4 years after he switched to Union! No way Burgess will be ready for 2015

I very much doubt he could even oust garvey from the blindside position at bath. Contender for player of the season. Has transformed baths pack.

Garvey could move to lock?

BTW, to those of you who don't know me properly, I'm CJ, I'm taking over Worcester and play with Flux and Ozzy on the Super Rugby League game here too.

I'm a medical student with my finals in a month, so I don't know whether that means I'll be revising and bored and thus always here or a bit absent until those end, but I'm usually able to keep up on my iPhone even when I'm in hospital and I'll be away on elective in Singapore but with a laptop after that, so I'll be on here at odd times for a couple of months but definitely still on here.

I'm happy to trade though I have pet players I won't trade. I'm a Quins fan, so expect a Quins player bias in predictions.

I also rate matches in the following format: Scrum, Lineout, Breakdown, pack carrying, control/management/HBs, Attack, Defence, Subs and an overall decision. More weight to the breakdown
