I can play 10 games.

I will play for 10

With regards to WGL, it's about half an hour early for me, I have dinner at about 5.45 p.m. (usually earlier) (GMT) so I can't make a 6 p.m start (GMT), proving it doesn't revolve around the west.

What were the minutes of the post WGL stream???

@tomjh, if you understand first post there is no need to watch the stream

hi all . im in ... 10

The sign up window officially closed just before kolosser signed up. We'll have to see what the ruling is as to whether you will be able to compete in season 1.

ok ... i only got the invite yesterday so ... anyway whatever you decide is fine by me

Summer's bad at everything. I think she should come as part of a package deal when you bid on me. We'd make a tolerable bargain strat 2v2 team that way.

I bid 1 Doohham for the pair.

LOL was going through the list of managers ..... why are 6 of em cut off
i find those 6 fascinating and good managers tbh

Those six have actually been accepted, they're removed as they're no longer merely candidates. There's another tab that lists accepted managers.

Is there still a stream planned?

We had a 2 hour stream yesterday after the WGL(as planned). We went over the concept and answered all questions posted in twitch. If there are any further questions, please post them here.

Had a busy WE so came too late but I guess you want very available people so it's only fair. Anyway if there is a minor league competing for promotion in the premier league <_< I apply for a manager position.

Also I am worried the deadline has been hurried a bit. Not sure all clans have been invited or invited early enough for example. The pool of available players need to be big to be interesting for managers, even though that would make a lot of disappointed people, but hence the minr league (or an extended league with more than 6 teams).

I have questions.

Can we explain more the role of manager as it sounds like they buy players as the beginning of the season and trade at the end of it and nothing more apart from interacting with their team (making sure noones misses), then maybe choosing the team for each game. Am I missing something ?

Who are the other organizers (if any) of this brilliant idea ?

Have clans been invited ?

What were the criteria to choose the managers ?

Couldn't a draft system (NBA like) be added for the off season ? Giving weakest teams priority on top players newly available for next season ?

Questions for manager.

1. If a player has announced he would play for 10 games could you put him down for 5 games by mutual agreement?

2. Could you confirm when the players buckets + base prices be confirmed?

3. Can a manager employ a caretaker manager (someone to take over your team in case of sudden life situations e.g death of family) With permission and authorisation from League Commisioner?

1. Yes

2. Buckets decided, not prices yet

3. Probably

We've given it a week. I understand that a lot of players don't read the forums frequently. But every effort has been made to spread awareness via clan leaders etc. The pool is quite big at the moment with managers having a lot to choose from. I'm willing to keep the sign ups open, but the new players can only play for group B at this point as I want to move ahead with the auction for Group A.

Nope that's about it. A manager can do anything they like, to make sure a club's players get along. They can coach their own players(or get someone to coach) to improve general skill level in their club. I'm leaving this up to the individual managers.

Who are the other organizers (if any) of this brilliant idea ?

Master Jz and me have been working on the format. I also have a few folks who've helped with estimating base prices for players(won't reveal who). We also have a score-keeper(will be revealed later).

Have clans been invited ?

This is not a clan-based activity. But I have asked a lot of people to spread the word. Especially clan leaders.

What were the criteria to choose the managers ?

Managers were asked to answer a set of questions aimed at testing their knowledge of this league. They were also asked to estimate player buckets and build a few sample teams.

Couldn't a draft system (NBA like) be added for the off season ? Giving weakest teams priority on top players newly available for next season ?

We're looking into this for season 2.

1. If a player has announced he would play for 10 games could you put him down for 5 games by mutual agreement?

You can bid below the base price for a player signed up for 10 games(5 game players have to be sold for at least the base price). Any bid below the base price for a 10 game player, automatically assumes that you intend to play them for only 5 games. If there is another higher bid from any manager, you will obviously lose the bid. Players don't control how many games they play. It is solely up to managers.

2. Could you confirm when the players buckets + base prices be confirmed?

Hopefully in a day or two.

3. Can a manager employ a caretaker manager (someone to take over your team in case of sudden life situations e.g death of family) With permission and authorisation from League Commisioner?

Yes.
