So I'm making a topic.
Firstly, Congratulations to Polemarch and the 44's for taking out the first title. They beat my team, the Soul Reapers in a one sided grand final.
Now we can look to next season, and it's set to be a beuty with the teams actually getting some skills. So let's talk about the draft:
Below is a list of the minor league players that are available for selection in this pre-seasons draft. Each team will be able to draft one player to add to their team. Everyone MUST send me a list of their preferences, either in this thread or via PM by Next Wednesday the 14th of March. This will also serve to indicate your desire to remain in the league. If you do not wish to participate next season, then don't submit a preference list. Preferences will be assigned based on last season’s results, going from last to first. New teams will get the first picks.
Any coaches who would like to join the SWWS for next season may do so and enter the draft. Apply with your team to the group page (link at bottom of post) and submit your draft picks either through PM or on this thread. You must do so by next tuesday the 13th of March. New teams will be given the first picks in the draft.
Draft Order:
New Teams
Savages
Badgers
Hammerheads
Pythons
Regulars
Fellowship
Pirates
Seraphim
Soul Reapers
44s
Jarl Wildheart
6338
Frenzy, Juggernaught
Jarl, as one half of the remaining Wildheart brothers, is known for his all-out, smashmouth style of play. The Wildheart brothers have a reputation in the minor leagues for being fierce competitors and getting in the face of their opponents. Now they have the attention of the major leagues, it will be interesting to see how they perform as individuals.
Karl Wildheart
6338
Frenzy, Sidestep
Karl, as one half of the remaining Wildheart brothers, is known for his all-out, smashmouth style of play. The Wildheart brothers have a reputation in the minor leagues for being fierce competitors and getting in the face of their opponents. Now they have the attention of the major leagues, it will be interesting to see how they perform as individuals.
Frigg Heavyfist
6338
Mighty Blow
Although Frigg only managed to throw a few blocks due to his teams woeful performance, Frigg Heavyfist was able to remove an opposing player from the pitch on each occasion. He even managed to kill the other Wildheart brother.
Skadi Helfdarsson
6338
Dodge, Sure Feet
Skadi was originally the seamstress for the minor league team The Bad Hobbits, when they ran out of players. Before he knew it Skadi was thrown into the action. He has since become famous in the lower leagues for his “wimpy” approach to the game, often slipping through the lines and into the backfield. During the whole of last season, Skadi didn’t hit the ground once! Apparently he doesn’t like getting his clothes dirty.
Adni Andersson
6338
Sneaky Git, Dirty Player
Adni Andersson rightfully earned himself a reputation as the dirtiest player in the minor leagues. He finds himself compelled to kick other players on the ground, often using elaborate diversions to ensure he isn’t seen. Over the past two seasons he has booted a record 38 players without being sent off!
Gierst Battlehard
6339
Thick Skull
Gierst Battlehard has certainly made a name for himself in the minors based on his toughness. He absorbed more blows than anyone last season, and spent a record amount of time on the ground but never left the pitch. Rumour has it that he hates nurses.
Frey Freki
6338
Pro, Leader
One of the more experienced players in the minors. As the team captain, Frey Freki lead the minor league team, the Red Rockets, to victory last season with his professional conduct, guidance and a cool head.
Sigur “Daddy Sugar” Ericson
7338
Sprint
The self proclaimed “Daddy Sugar” Sigur Ericson set the scene for pace last season in the minor leagues with blistering pace. It’s just a shame he spent the time in the clear posing for the ladies.
Alvis Talentman
6348
In terms of raw talent, Alvis has it all. His coordination has developed over the past season to earn a reputation as one of the more talented players in the minor leagues. When it comes to ball handling he can do it all. What he really needs is someone to shape this ability and nurture his development.
Ulric The Hard
6338
Block
Ulric knows how to block. He has impressed with his blocking ability in the minors this season and is expected to develop into a capable major league player.
Odin Varjark
6338
Fend, Strip Ball
Odin’s ability on defense made him a star for his team, the Dirty Dingos. Somehow Odin always managed to pester the opponents for the ball, using his unique technique to dislodge the ball. It’s just a shame he hasn’t worked how to pick it up yet.
Mikel Surehands
6338
Nerves of steel, Diving Catch
Talk about holding your nerve to catch a ball, Mikel is making a career from it. During the past season, the rookie managed to average 2 receptions per match in the worst team in the whole league. Often Mikel had to contend with being marked by multiple players while his team was outnumbered. Unfortunately, he didn’t score a touchdown. Who knows what he is capable of in a decent team?
Sigurd “The Shadow” Sturlusson
7338 Shadowing
Sigurd is a defensive genius. His ability to man-mark the oppositions biggest offensive threat has allowed his team, The Gergund Warlocks, to record the fewest touchdowns against in the 2nd division this past season.
Simen “The Impaler”
6338
Horns
Simen had been an unremarkable player for the majority of his career. That was until toward the end of last season when horns began growing from his head. Although he hasn’t fully worked out the best way to utilize this ‘blessing’ on the pitch, he did manage to accidently impale his wife, earning the nickname “the impaler”.
Busby Burr
6338
Wrestle
Poor old Busby tries his heart out, but he just doesn’t have that killer instinct. Every time he decides to block a player, he ends up wrestling them down, rather than going for the big blow. While this is highly abnormal for the SWWS minors, he has been able to create a few holes in the opponent’s line, gaining the attention of major league scouts.
If we have 11 or less next season, then we will use the same format as this season. If we have 12 or more for this season we may break the league up into two groups, with the top teams battling off in a grand final.
There are no rules changes at the moment, but I am open to suggestions if people have a serious idea that would enhance the league or can forsee problems. I would like to keep the league as 'normal' as possible, so rules that increase randomness or crazyness will not be considered (such as random skills, etc.). At the end of the day this is the league that backs up SWL and shall remain a competitive option for coaches who cant commit to a game each week in swl or who can commit to 3 games every two weeks and participate in both.
I had an awesome first season, I hope you guys enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next. Any questions, let me know.

Draft list is in the works.
BTW, are we going to have awards for outstanding players and teams? I love those, I'd even volunteer to do the necessary bookkeeping. |

But why? 
That's like Man United buying Lionel Messi and renaming him David Beckham,

Yes you must have the assistant coaches to support the new skills. Thats why your teams are not in 'ready to play' status |
