Amatuer American Football League (S2 Signups/OOC CLOSED)

Postby New Tebow » Sun Dec 16, 2012 1:22 pm

Here is the thread for season 2 of the AAFL. Simply post that you'd like to join along with anything like rosters you'd like to add. No requirement for a roster this season though. Sign ups will conclude on Jan. 2nd, which should be plenty of time. After that play will commence. I will be scorinating, as oddly as it sounds, using dice.

How, exactly, will the dice scorination work?

I do the scorinating drive by drive. Each team I give 3 drives per quarter. They can score either a TD if a 6 is rolled or a Field Goal if a 3 is rolled.

Um.... There are 2 large problems associated with your league.

I'll start with scorination, since that was also raised as a concern in last season. Here are the concerns raised:

Kinitaria wrote:Randomness is actually an important part of a scorinator - and they're programmed to produce results suitable for a particular sport. For example, in American football, a scorinator might produce a result like 45-19 or 20-7, and so on. It's hard to do that with dice. The scorinators are also weighted in terms of a team's strength and style of play, which is also tricky to do with dice.

Basically, a dice-based tournament is never going to get off the ground here.
Bongo Johnson wrote:Not a lot of people will be too keen on the dice. It leaves no room for transparency; how do we know you're not sitting over there rigging the dice? Not that anyone would ever really try that, but it's still the first thought. With a scorinator, we can tell FOR SURE that you're not over there making scores up.

EDIT: Plus, a die for American Football? What happens when you roll a 1? You can't score one point.



And secondly, your OP for both signups and IC Thread wasn't as detailed, organised and interesting as the other American Football Leagues did. Here are some examples:
NSCF, GAFA and the bid for the latest World Bowl.
If you could make your OPs like that, then you'll be able to not only bring more teams to sign up but also be more successful in this World called NS Sports.

Although you bring up some good points, I still like the way I do it. This is just meant for beginners or someone who doesn't feel pushed to make everything perfect. I never honestly expected this to even get off the ground. I expect many to come in, see this and laugh, however there may be a small few who support it and would love to do this. I do plan to organize it a bit better, but this is just for the casual NationStates player. Anybody who agrees with me feel free to sign up.
