Lol, New South Wales have been picked five times...

Back counting the list below is how it should look.

The three picks remaining are Western Australia once and Queensland twice.

Therefore firstly Riz can remake his round two pick out of Western Australia and Queensland. If he chooses Western Australia Dipak and Dan will automatically get Queensland as their round three picks, but if he chooses Queensland the next one to see this out of Dipak and Dan can choose which one out of the two they want to verse.

Round 1
 
Riz - World XI
Jono - New Zealand XI
Varun - Australian XI
Akshay - Tasmania 
Andrew - New South Wales
Bcvs - New South Wales
Dipak - Western Australia
Dan - New Zealand XI
Bilal - Victoria

@ Dan - You can't choose ATM, read my last post.

Riz get first priority, as he's remaking his round two pick.

 

[Sartaj]

The new banner looks pretty cool.

The new banner looks pretty cool.

Credit goes to Pranav, as you can see on the banner.

Details on the mini draft getting everyone up to 10 players will be posted soon.

There you go, i changed it to Queensland.

 

[CG123]

There you go, i changed it to Queensland.

Ok, whatever team Riz chooses Dipak will verse the other.

 

[CG123]

Because everyone has retained three/four players, Dipak will get the first four picks.

This is because in order to catch up to everyone he has to pick another three players, then he might as well start the next round off, hence four picks.

Since there's still no point in picking outside last seasons players, I've updated the first post so you can pick from there.

So it'll go Dipak four picks (at least one international player and at least one New Zealand player), then Jono, Varun, Akshay, Andrew and Bilal one pick (international player or New Zealand player). Hence as soon as Dipak has made his four picks, the round for the other five of you would have begun.

After that there will be a 24 hour (give or take) free agent transfer window, in order to ensure that the top 90 players have been picked up at this stage.

Then I'll update the first post with your first ten players, update the players lists, and we can get into the actual draft.

i'll choose WA.

This is just to give you an idea of how the fixtures will work, I'll present them better when I post them on the third post closer to the start of the competition.

Everyone verses the other two teams in their conference twice, and the six teams not in their conference once, that gives you a total of 10 matches proper round robin matches.

On top of that you'll have three friendly matches throughout the round robin. These friendly matches count for nothing, they won't count towards you resting your players, and I won't include them in the stats. They are purely for you do do some experimenting, instead of having a bye.

The pre-season will consist of three rounds, in which you play two matches against two teams in other conferences. Incase you didn't realise, they aren't shown on the fixtures below.

The play-offs will work as follows:

Wildcard play-off - Two highest ranked second placed teams
Major semi-final - Two highest ranked first placed teams
Minor semi-final - Third ranked first placed team vs winner of the wildcard play-off
Preliminary final - Loser of major semi-final vs winner of minor semi-final
Grand final - Winner of major semi-final vs winner of preliminary final

So as you can see it's crucial that you don't just win your conference, but you keep on picking up points. This is because in a way you're also versing the other conferences, to get a higher ranking. And at the end of the season each team will get a final placing, so even if you're still coming last in your conference, you still want to beat the bottom teams in the other conferences to avoid last place overall.

I hope that's all clear, but if you have any questions please post feel free to ask.
