This comp is named after the greatest sport in the world, Aussie rules football (go cats). It is based around the general concept of the sport as well.

Initial Draft
Before matches start, teams must be created. There can be up to 18 teams in the main draw (any other teams can play B league, will explain that later). Teams must have at least three players. The first person to nominate to own a team becomes captain. They must then draft at least two others for the team to become active.
If teams have more than 3 players, the fourth becomes a sub and a reserve. IF there are at least 6 players in the team 3 can play main draw, 3 in the B league (does not have to be the same 3 every time).
Once a team has a captain they will have 500 bucks with which to offer players contracts. Players will be mandated to take the highest buck offer that is given to them. Hence a bidding war will start for the best cubers. Teams must not spend any more than 500 bucks to create a team of at least 3.

Main Season
The top 18 teams (or first 18 to be registered) will play in the main season. Each round they will face up against another team. The team must each week nominate one person to play forward, mid, and back.
  • For the game, the forward of one team faces up against the back of the opposing team, and the two mids against each other.
  • The time difference between the forward and the back is the score of the offence. The defence can completely negate the score of the offence.
  • The winning mid can act either as offence or defence in a 75/25% split, either 75% of his time forward or back.
  • For example, team A scores 11.2 seconds in the offence vs team B 10.4 defence. Team A defence, 22, team B offence, 20.5. However, team A's mid scores 3.6 seconds better than team B mid. Therefore, team A mid supports the defence with 2.25 seconds, and 0.75 seconds offensively, so that team A has a higher score than team B and wins.
I will explain the between season Draft once we get there. If any of this is unclear say and I will try and improve it.

On that note, the Season 1 Draft and team registration period is now open!!!
(Go cats)
 
I forgot to explain - the B league will work the same as the A league. If a B league team performs better than an A league team in one season, they will join the A league in the next.
The advantage in recruiting more players is you can play both a and b leagues, earning you more cash for the year-end draft.
 
To be clear, to join the comp as a player, reply to this thread. To create a team, reply to this thread with your preferred team name. You can immediately start bidding on players once you create a team, but you cannot withdraw your bid if it is the highest.
 
People obviously missed the memo.
You can't have a team competition without teams.
The team owner can still compete.
On that note, do people want to create teams?
