Just to add to what Bren and Milchy have said, have you done a snake draft before Ratnick? If not we can explain the intricacies as well.

Updated the list to confirm you are participating   . Yes, unfortunately you were relegated (along with Random). On the bright side you get to verse Welshy in L2.

Its pretty win L2 gets an effective bye week with Welshy in it, happy with that!

I'm in guys

Updated the list to include Beasty! Anyone know when Ultimate League opens for the year?

Hey lads. If you still need the numbers to make up L3 then - use me, I'm open!

Last year was my first rubbish year of NRL & NFL Fantasy, but looking for a much improved effort this year.

I presume Ultimate is pretty much the same as the NFL setup?

Uhh different site but it is similar in some ways.

You get 1 AE per position. (So CTR's only replace CTR's) Scoring is a little different than the NRL Fantasy too.

What's the difference in scoring?

Not THAT different to NRL Fantasy....

Tries Scored 8
Goals 2
Missed Goals -1
Field Goals 5
Try Assists 5
Line Breaks 4
Line Break Assists 2
Tackles 1
One on One Tackles 1
Tackle Breaks 3
Missed Tackles -2
Ineffective Tackles -1
Offloads 2
Run Metres (per 10 metres gained) 1
Kick Metres (per 20 metres gained) 1
40/20 Kicks 4
Errors -3
Penalties Conceeded -2
Sin-Bins -5
Send Offs -10

Overall it is a little harsher.

Scoring is completley customisable anyway, it's pretty unique in that respect, we only use fantasy/VSDT as a guideline

I would love to join if there are still spots guys

I think Ultimate League is open for the year

Before anyone rushes in and starts creating Leagues I think we need to discuss certain aspects like the points system and keeper leagues etc.

I'm keen to have a go too if there are any spots left.

Did we have an IR (injured reserve) spot last year? Does it have the facility to add an IR spot? I think that would be a good addition

Each position had its own AE, I think that's all we really need to be honest.

IR is a tad different, lets you stash a long term injury, could be a top 3 pick too valuable to just drop into the player pool...just a suggestion
