Hadn't thought of the logo side of the house .... any takers to convert my current logo to PTA colours ... now that would be cool and never forgotten

Can you insert a large logo here and then I can copy it to convert the colours? Or send it to me through the 'inbox'?
( RE: .......a Large logo...... it's just easier to work with a larger image, anything around 800 pixels wide would be good, if possible)

Getting to crunch time in order to draft before the resumption of the AFL season. Therefore, we are going to need two things today.
Available times:
Monday:
Tuesday:
Wednesday:
Thursday:
Friday:
Saturday:
Sunday:
We are thinking that little chunks of the draft is preferable than long sittings. We think we could get through 2 rounds of the top 60 players in an hour. That also allows teams to get a good feel of the draft, ask questions and devise strategy, much like the NFL draft lasting 3 days. And that's only for 7 picks or so each.

Gents - I had some queries in reading through the rules. Hopefully there aren’t too many silly ones, and apologies if you’ve actually addressed these and I’ve missed it!
Queries
How does the fixture work given the shortened 2020 season? Do we just use a random draw?
I’m not sure how byes will work without needing to be planned for - is there a bit more of a luck element in the draw this year given a shortened season? How do we deal with this in future years?
How do second contracts work for say the 2018 class?
If a team wins bids on more players than they can afford or fit on their list, and gets first pick of which of those they keep, why wouldn’t you just bid hard on everyone to have a free (?) option? [Red text above Draft classes]
It also sounds like there will be a domino effect through the picks - eg if I forgo a player that I’ve won the bid on, and they go to the next highest bidder, then that coach needs to pick between whether they want to keep or forgo that player (vs others they may have won the original bid on), and so on - do we have a method for ordering these decisions?
On the Delistings page, how would a coach have >44 players listed? Is this by trading say 1 player for 2?
Thanks,
Darkie

Yet to be determined, however it is safe to say that there will be rounds where you will play multiple teams.
One scenario being contemplated is:
One game a round = 9 games/9 rounds
3 x Three games a round = 9 games/3 rounds
Finals = 4 rounds
Total = 16 rounds
I’m not sure how byes will work without needing to be planned for - is there a bit more of a luck element in the draw this year given a shortened season? How do we deal with this in future years?
Basically there are 18 games across the bye rounds, where each AFL team plays twice. For this league, that means two rounds calculated by combining the three AFL rounds.
How do second contracts work for say the 2018 class?
They will be eligible next season for their 2nd contract, which you'll determine preseason.
If a team wins bids on more players than they can afford or fit on their list, and gets first pick of which of those they keep, why wouldn’t you just bid hard on everyone to have a free (?) option? [Red text above Draft classes]
You can only win 9 players in the top 60 and 10 in the 2017 Draft Class. Budget your money wisely. I'll look at that section and tighten it up.
It also sounds like there will be a domino effect through the picks - eg if I forgo a player that I’ve won the bid on, and they go to the next highest bidder, then that coach needs to pick between whether they want to keep or forgo that player (vs others they may have won the original bid on), and so on - do we have a method for ordering these decisions?
There will be no forgoing of players. You win they are yours within the above limits.
There is a lot of self policing in this drafting process. There are multiple breaks between sections so that you can monitor your teams salary and contract cap.
On the Delistings page, how would a coach have >44 players listed? Is this by trading say 1 player for 2?
Yes, two for one trades, or the likes.
Another thing for teams thinking of going extra hard and then trading to another team to get their caps back in order. The upper hand is held by those not desperate to trade away.

Everyone should now be setup in the league hub forum (except @Tails who I am just waiting on some info from).
People will now be able to post and view the threads.
Here is some examples of how teams in our other league set out their team thread...

For those outside the LG and/or who weren't paying attention at the time, this is what the top 60 drafting component will look like. Bid are taken simultaneously.
And the 2017 Draft Class. Bids are taken in turns starting with the nominated drafter who can match the bid of anyone as a last bid.
