Any spoilers out on how the "re-drafting" and "wants to retire" works?

Badly?

Nah, I think they have potential for keeping a league interesting outside changing teams completely.

In all seriousness, any forced retirement system ("ageing") is a big no-no for me, and would be house-ruled out immediately (if it's not already optional). One of the best things to happen over the years was the removal of ageing.

Aeging based on SPP was bad

But I think retirement rule after seasons is great

We play years long leagues and when teams reach 250+ TV retirements are welcome

[Darkson]

Nope, any forced ageing is just bad(TM).

That's my take on it too. I know we're considering adopting it for our league.

Ok. How many seasons do you play before restarting?

We have play as much as around 20 seasons with same teams where TV is high, sky high.

How do you do?

[Darkson]

As many as the coach wants (or the rules change) though most change each season.

But even if someone wanted to play 20+ seasons (and that wouldn't be me, I'd get bored with one team), I would still be anti any form of forced retirement, regardless of whether it was old-school SPP-based, season based or even just "rebuying"/wages.

I'm not sure if class it as "forced" if it just raises their cost. I guess it depends how it's implemented.

I generally retire any goblin with a skill that is not a double or a stat increase, so my team value is very rarely high.


I have found with a Stunty team that we have a sharp drop-off in success that corresponds to multiple players with tackle in your league.

Spiralling costs goes somewhat towards reducing that. When people can't afford to replace their linemen, you have to be very careful as to what you plan on keeping in your team. If I'm facing a person who can't afford to replace their cheap guys, if I concentrate on killing the guys who won't reduce their TV by much it changes the way they play and can give a psychological edge.

So maybe keep spiralling expenses? I've found that people tend to only keep a few favourite players in that situation. It's too easy to lose their low TV guys, be unable to replace them, and have your 6 favourite dudes be the only ones who can play one match and suddenly finding 3 deaths.

Ok, here's what's I've seen on the new ageing.

[lawquoter]

Here's what has been leaked about "redrafting"

[lawquoter]

Here's the inducements. Per Andy Hoare, on FB, use CRP for Wizards as they have not done them yet.

I dislike them ditching "Beer Babes" for "Kegs".

Thanks for the pics.

With redrafting it says "create your team again - just as you did when you first joined the league". Does that mean 1kTV?
The petty cash rule as written in the photo seems to give an advantage to the lower TV team in that they can add more to the petty cash after the high TV team has chosen to buy (or not) inducements. Is that the case, or is there something else elsewhere which would alter that?

You get 1 million + your treasury + 10K for each game played + 5K for each TD + 5K for each casualty (games played, Cas and TD's are for the past season only).

I also think there is no spiralling expenses.

Seems interesting.
