A few more are interested but waiting on clarification of the fixtures so I'll get that out of the way shortly. I'll post a poll to see what the majority want.
At this stage there's probably no point trying to kick off before Christmas, everyone is busy with work, family, shopping etc etc. But I will try to finalise the format and teams etc before then so we can have a few friendlies if anyone is on.
Format
As stated, it will be a Champions League style format. The teams will be separated into groups (currently 8 teams so 2x4) and will play each other twice (6 games).
Once the groups are complete the top 2 from each group will enter the semi finals of the AVFCL title, 2 leg semi and a 1 game final with the usual rules (golden goal after extra time etc). The bottom 2 will compete for the U
AVFA Cup in the same format, semi final and final.
So the cream of the crop after the group stage will face off for the top prize and the bottom 2 from each group will meet for the second tier trophy.
If we get more players the group sizes and/or numbers may change but we'll deal with that as it comes. If we end up with groups of 5 then the bottom team will go out rather than make the U
AVFA Cup.
*Edit, Just skimmed the previous thread and noticed that Eireann said he'd play.
Connections
Unfortunately Geo I don't think we have any choice but to continue with the online leagues. Until EA decide to give any other option to enforce tactical defending, we must use this method to ensure that "legacy" is not abused. I wish I could say that I trust everyone to be honest and use TD... (But I don't). I hope you'll reconsider and join the league.
Any questions etc, let me know. I'm back from holiday and back to work so I'll be able to answer.
Thanks to Bogside for co-ordinating the end of the previous competitions (and winning them both, jammy sod).
I'll link to a poll about the fixtures in a minute...
