Fifa League Season 7 - New Player Sign Up

colly54

This thread is for new players wishing to sign up to take part in the new season of the PS3 FIFA League.

Only 4, maybe 5 places up for grabs this season. Each new player must have at least 100 posts on boards.

Any player who did not take part in Season 6 is considered a new player regardless of having played in other leagues before or not.

We will be starting the league Monday if all goes to plan.

We will be following the rules listed below. I would suggest that everyone reads these rules before they commit to the league.


If you can't play by them then this league is not for you. Note these rules were from Season 6 and will be edited slightly before the season begins.

Also you will be expected to play 3 games per week as per the fixture list. To be fair to others in the league if you aren't going to be able to play that amount of fixtures or cant take a beating or two - then dont sign up.

Further details will be posted closer to the time of starting the league regarding team picks etc.

Please leave your details in the format below if you wish to join.

LEAGUE RULES
INTRODUCTION:

The league is run by thewools and colly54 and we will do our best to co-ordinate and organise the fixtures and results. Any queries / problems should be sent by pm to me.

OUTLINE:

For the new season the league is divided into 3 separate divisions and is organised and run by

Premiership

Championship

League 1

TEAM SELECTION:

The league contains 3 divisions each with unique teams. Before the season begins promotions and relegations will take place. For the team selection process you are required to pick a European club team.

LEAGUE FORMAT:

Each team will play each other team twice. Each game consists of 2 x 6 minute halves. The fixtures will be posted at the start of the season and the fixtures will be divided into a number of gameweeks. Currently, there are usually 3 fixtures per week (depending on amount of players in league). Players must ensure that they complete their fixture list by the end of the gameweek. You may contact opponents via Boards or on PSN.

At the end of each game, make a note of the result and post them in the Results thread. These results will be added to the main result post and league tables will be updated on a regular basis. You may not play games in advance of the gameweek they belong unless given permission by the co-ordinator(s), if you do so they will be void.

END OF SEASON:

At the end of every season, there will be promotion's and relegation's. Games unplayed at the end of the season will be void however both players are expected to make an effort to play their fixtures. If a player is found to be avoiding playing their fixtures or not responding to messages and invites during the season action will be taken against them by the co-ordinator(s).

RULES:

In order to maintain the league, a number of rules have been laid out. Any violations of this code of conduct can be sent to the league co-ordinators and each issue will be investigated.

1) Disconnections
No player is allowed to intentionally disconnect for any reason. Any intentional disconnections during a league game must be made known to the league co-ordinators.

However, accidental disconnections do occur and the rules have been written to take this into account. If a player disconnects, a rematch (unranked - non league game) is immediately scheduled and the score before the disconnection is used. The remaining minutes are to be played and the score at the end of the combined 90 minutes is the final score to be posted on the results thread.

1.1) Problems Connecting To Opponent
If you can’t connect to another player the first thing to do is check your NAT settings. NAT type 1 or 2 is desired to allow players to connect easily. If anyone is having difficulties with their network connection; please post here and we will attempt to the best of our capabilities to help resolve the issue.

2) Last Man Tackling
Fifa 11 is a soccer simulation and while slide tackling is encouraged when needed, intentional attempts to take out the last man (an attacking player that only has the keeper to beat) will not be tolerated. A defender is allowed to slide in from the side as there is a good chance that he will win the ball. However, when someone slides in from directly behind (from the 5-7 O'clock positions) and the striker is between the defender and the ball, this will not be tolerated. Players like this can usually be indentified by a low foul:card ratio.

3) Settings & Custom Formations
Custom formations are a part of football, while some people don't like playing against custom formations, there is no rule forbidding using them.

4) Holidays
If a player is going away on holidays and unable to play their fixtures for a short period then they must contact the co-ordinators in advance and let them know. They will post on the fixtures thread a note to allow that player to play the games for the weeks he is away in advance. Only those fixtures can be played in advance and any others will be void if played.

5) Unplayed fixtures
Due to the amount of unplayed fixtures in previous seasons there is a rule to make sure people make an effort to play their games. Each week we will be monitoring people's progress, below is a list of how many games have to be played after a certain number of fixtures are released. Failure to meet these requirements will result in a point deduction for each outstanding game.

End of Week 2 a minimum of 3 games must be played

End of Week 4 a minimum of 7 games must be played

End of Week 4 anyone with less than half their games played will be kicked from the league.

End of Week 6 a minimum of 12 games must be played

End of Week 8 a minimum of 16 games must be played

End of Week 8 anyone with less than 16 played will be kicked from the league.

Every player is responsible for their own fixtures and getting them played. Best practice is to contact them with an PSN message and/or a PM on boards.ie

If you find a player is not responding to your messages about organising fixtures then contact the co-ordinator(s).

6) People Quitting Mid Season
Due to various reasons we have players who sometimes are unable to complete the league season. In the case of these players all fixtures they have will be awarded a walkover to their opponent. Any games played previously will also be given as a walkover to their opponent. If a player quits they are automatically placed at the bottom of the table and will take one of the relegation places at the end of the season. This allows us to keep a group of players in each league who are dedicated to playing their games and making the season enjoyable for everyone involved.

Hi Colly, I can vouch for Sehguhnai. I was allowed in for season 6, and I have nowhere near 100 posts. He's a mate of mine, and can defo commit to playing all his games.

Cheers,

Bray Header

I completely understand that Colly. However, I was new to the league, and played every single one of my games. I know that Sehguhnai will too. Can you please let him in, with me as Guarantor? Cheers

Grand your in, keep an eye on the thread for team picks

Desire.

**** sake. I've been waiting for this for ages.

No offence, but it's hardly fair that you set out a rule and then let someone join who does not meet the requirements. I feel experienced Boardsies should be given first preference over newer members. I have more posts in the FIFA forum than he has altogether.
