Make sure to use the appropriate game settings for season games. The game settings are listed below the roster of participants. The 'season' setting for the Tenth Season will be SUMMER. Weather, as always, will be random.
This season, the ball we use for league games will be the Classic (12/16). Going old school for this one.

Basic League Rules
Each team plays the teams in its division twice a season, once home once away. The seasons are divided into halves, so that each team plays the other teams in its division once per half-season, and plays the return match in the following half-season. At the end of the season, the team atop the Division One table will be declared Season Champion; the top team in the Division Two table will be promoted to Division One for the following season, and the bottom team in the Division One table will be dropped to Division Two for the ensuing season, and so on for any lower divisions.
Games can be played in any order, but we want to do each season by half, so at first only the first-half games are available to be reported into the league module until the first-half deadline has been reached.
Every half-season will be given a deadline two weeks from the time it starts. Extensions will be granted liberally, but you must request one in the league thread. We will record forfeits at the end of the deadline according to who gave a serious effort to get the specific games in. It is likely that I will post a 'heads up' post when we are close to the deadline. Respond in this thread if you are having trouble getting in contact with or meeting online with an opponent.
At least one player needs to make a game report here at DSP in this thread after the match, including goal scorers and bookings (yellow and red cards) and injuries (yellow and red crosses). It can be very basic, but please try to post something after each game. Many also like to include the team stats as they appear after the game.
Also, one of the players, typically the winner but you can decide when you guys play, needs to input the game into the league module over at SGN, which will keep the table for us automatically. Goal scorers and players booked should be inputted here as well; injuries must be reported in this thread.
We will be keeping track of bookings, and obviously if someone gets a red card, they miss the next match for that team. Accumulating two yellows will also result in that player being suspended for that team's next league game. Make sure to not bookings as they occure in game, since the post-game stats are extremely limited.
Injuries should also be noted in this thread. A yellow cross will result in the player missing zero or one game (by roll of a regular six-sided die: 1-3 is no games, 4-6 is one game). A red cross will result in a player missing one, two, or three games (same die: 1-2 is one game, 3-4 is two, 5-6 is three games). Please make sure to note the severity of the inury when it occurs, since, again, the post-game stats are extremely limited.
The Table
A win is worth 3 points in the standings, a draw worth 1, a loss gets you none. A forfeited game will be recorded as a 3-0 win for the guy who showed real effort to get the game in. Forfeits will be entered into the table as of the half-season deadline, or shortly thereafter. Extensions will be liberally given, but try to use the threads to keep in touch so I can tell who is trying to get games in and who is AWOL. If both teams are AWOL, the game will be recorded as a 0-0 draw (what else can be done for a double-forfeit?)
At the end of the season, the team in each Division with the most standings points is the Champion of that Division. The Championship of the DSPremiereship brings with it much glee and rejoicing, dancing in the streets and laughter and good times. The Champion of Division Two, the DSPenultimate, will be promoted into the DSPremiereship for the following season, and the last team in the DSPremiereship table will be relegated into Division 2, and so on for any lower divisions.
In the case of a standings points tie, the first tie-break will be Goal Difference. The second tie-break will be total Goals For. After that, head to head record would be next, then head to head GD, then head to head GF (after that . . . ?).
League Module at SportsGamingNation
The league module is up and once we complete sign up and team selection, it will be ready for nosing around in. Head on over to Jason's SGN League site:
http://www.sportsgamingnation.com/sgnleagues/index.php
If you don't have an account there, create one and log in. If you do, log in. Click on the WE League Standings link, and there will be the tables of teams. Click on your team's link, and you will be taken to that team's info page. If you are that team's owner, click on the 'manage team' link, and the module will link your log in ID and that team, so you can from then on make changes and report games.
Reporting games is very easy; from the league's Schedule page, where you will see a list of games, or your team's Schedule page, you will note there are three small icons next to each game. Clicking on the arrow icon will allow you to 'update' the game, that is, input the score, etc.
It's pretty straightforward, and any screwups can be fixed by myself or Jason over at SGN.
Winners should be the ones to report the games, but it really doesn't matter; obviously only one guy should 'update' each game.
When you enter the data for the game, make sure you also enter the goal scorers, any one who received any yellow or red cards. If a plyaer's name is not in the pull-down menu, you will have to go to the team page for that team and 'add player.' You will only have access to 'add player' for your own team, so either your opponent or myself will have to add players to the other team if necessary. Make sure to note a missing player that need to be added in the game result post you make in this thread.
Note as well that at first, the schedule posted is only for the first half-season. Home and Away is very important (home team is listed FIRST), since in the second half-season you will play the opposite games. So, we each play everyone in the Division once, hit the deadline (and deal with any forfeits), and then the second half schedule will be up. The 'date' next to each game is not so much a date as a cataloging system, and a way to keep the divisions separate on the schedule page; 5001 is the season number, number 1, the 'month' is actually the Division, and the 'day' is the half of that season (01 for now, next half season is 02). You don't have to worry about all that, it just turned out to be an easy way to separate the two divisions on the big schedule page.
If you have any questions about anything, feel free to post here or PM me. I will make the decisions as to forfeits. I will be fair, and provide extensions liberally when requested. Remember, very half season has a deadline at the end of two weeks.
Good luck, and play fair!!
