Title: Footy Rocks
Post by: Moi on February 16, 2007, 11:50:04 PM: Can we start an OER team this year?

It's really easy - all you do is pick a team in position each week.

You can play in a comp or you can play individually - a comp with your own league would be more fun and you still get to play against everyone else who enters.

Anyone :pray

The chance to win a life-size cardboard cut-out of Richo will get Julz in ;D

So what do we have to do now in the comp Moi?

Post by: Moi on February 28, 2007, 10:48:20 PM: Let me know if you're in and then registering would be a good thing for the time being until I hear back from them. I've just sent off an email asking for a league called:

"One-Eyed Richmond Rocks"

So, I'll get together names and then give them to them. They used to require people's email addresses, but not sure now. Will find out when they reply.

Title: Re: Footy Rocks
Post by: Moi on March 02, 2007, 10:51:15 PM: This is last year's ladder. As you will see, you are up against a formidable opponent in Moi :lol

http://www.footyrocks.net/index.php?ID=54

Basically, they take your five highest scores for the season, so if you have a bad week, it's not totally lost.

And in the league we create, you get a ladder, like a footy ladder with wins/losses, percentages, points etc.

And hopefully we can get an even number of people in the league so we don't have a bye round. Even in the bye round you still put in your tips though for the overall comp.

What do you have to do?

What is Footy Rocks?
Footy Rocks is an AFL-based dreamteam competition. Unlike other dreamteams we don't muck about with player values and salary caps. We keep it simple yet challenging. Each week you simply pick a team of players IN POSITION. Pick anybody you want but you can only have one full forward, two wings, one ruck, and so on just like a real AFL team. Each player gets points for kicks, marks, goals and other stats which we add up to tell you your team's score at the end of the round.

All statistics used on Footy Rocks come from our good friends at Champion Data and are the same ones used by the real AFL coaches. Champion Data do not contribute or endorse any editorial content on Footy Rocks.

How do I play?
Easy! Here's your quick-start guide...

Get a Footy Rocks account.

Log in and enter the once-only Activation Code sent to your email.

Pick your team.

Watch your players rack up the stats (or not, that's the hard bit:-)
You can normally pick your team on Thursday night right after the Footy Show. Footy Rocks can send you an email to tell you when selections are open. Check out the Email Alerts page to set your preferences. While you are there you can also choose whether you want other type of emails sent to you from Footy Rocks so make sure you check it out at least once.

Click here to see the scoring system and all the rules.

You can try picking your team now to see how it works. All positions and players are from round 22 last year. This is for testing only - all teams will be deleted before the season starts.

What's with the Activation Code?
This is to protect you. Sometimes public web sites get troublemakers. By using an Activation Code we can verify everybody's email address when they get an account. If somebody does something offensive or causes a problem then we can easily disable their account and prevent the same email address from creating a new one. We'd rather not, but it's there just in case.

How do I log out?
This should only cause a problem when multiple Footy Rocks players use the same computer. Unfortunately we haven't yet got logging out working as we would like. Until we do, simply close all your browser windows and your browser should forget you were ever logged in. You can then start a new web browser and log in as somebody else. It's not ideal but we'll get it fixed soon.

What if I find an error?
We pride ourselves on the quality of our work but sometimes things do go wrong. If you find an error or a problem with the web site use our Contact The Footy Rocks Web Site team form or send an email to problems@footyrocks.net containing a description of what the problem is and we'll fix it as soon as we can. If you find a problem with how the site displays on your browser please include a copy of whatever displays when you click on www.footyrocks.net/browserID.php. If the problem stops you from using Footy Rocks then use our PDA version at www.footyrocks.net/pda.php until we fix it.

Can I play against my friends?
Yes! If you have five friends you can start your own league. Check out the Start Your Own League! page for more information. We have two types of Leagues available to play on Footy Rocks depending on how much time you want to put into them. It's pretty cool to play your friends each week and then in the finals series.

If you only play every so often (or if you don't have too many friends:-) then we have a simple challenge system on Footy Rocks. After you pick your team you can challenge other poeple on Footy Rocks to a game. Most goals and behinds wins - simple as that. The results of your challenges are emailed to you if you have set up your email alerts to do so.

If you only want to see your friends when you look at the ladder (and many other pages which support this) then go to the My Friends page and select the people who you like.

How come your league ladders aren't sorted by percentage?
We found that sometimes people don't put a team in for some reason. This means that the percentage calculation favours anybody who plays in a game where their opponent forfiets and this unfairly disadvantages the other teams in the league. The only things that each team has complete and total control over is their score (actually, the players they choose but there is a strong relationship) so we decided to sort our ladders by average score instead of percentage.

If I am in a Dreamer League with my friends do I pick two teams?
No. You only have to pick one team each week. The same team is used for any Dreamer Leagues you are in AND also for the main Footy Rocks competition. That means more chances to win for less effort!

Who are you?
Footy Rocks is developed and run by GMAC Internet Solutions. Anybody can make you a pretty web site - we can make it DO something. Everything you see on Footy Rocks is handled by our Activate! web site management tool. If it can run a very complex and dynamic web site like Footy Rocks imagine what it could do for you.
Title: Re: Footy Rocks
Post by: Moi on March 07, 2007, 07:26:50 PM: Basically Julz, you just pick the best team that's selected for that round from all the teams!
You have to wait till late Thursday night/Friday before you can put your team in though
Title: Re: Footy Rocks
Post by: Moi on March 12, 2007, 10:36:16 AM: Bump

I'll close this off on 27 March, seeing as the season starts on the 30th, and notify the organisers of who is in our team. Hopefully we can get the 16 players and have a prize.

Just remember to register beforehand and let me know what your nickname for the game is.

Cheers

Title: Re: Footy Rocks
Post by: Moi on March 12, 2007, 12:48:01 PM: Just wait until 27th until I know who's in and who's not. I'll email them with the names of our league.
Come the Thursday before the first game after the teams are announced, you can enter your team.
They'll allocate a draw. Like you 632 RFC might play Moi, MT might play capnblood etc etc.
If we have an uneven number, someone will have a bye that round. It continues through the year with you playing everyone and the results are like a normal footy ladder. Who wins the most goes to the top of the ladder etc. They play finals and have a grand final for the top 2.

You've just got to make sure you put your teams in every week, otherwise you'll fall behind in the One-Eyed Richmond comp.

The overall comp between everyone else in Footy Rocks is your best 5 scores for the season, so if you miss a week you could still win overall. It's not a total tally of all rounds, which is good.

I'll organise the team. All you really have to do now after you've registered is wait till the teams come out and pick the best line up from those available that week. That's basically all you have to do. Just another Dreamteam-like comp, but it's weekly.

Great you're in it. There's no computer skills involved other than picking a team every week. That's just about it. The idea being you hopefully get the best players with most kicks, handballs, goals etc.

Title: Re: Footy Rocks
Post by: Moi on March 29, 2007, 05:56:53 AM: For those who've entered this, must be wondering why our league hasn't been set up. This is the answer I got to questions about it.

We'll have it set up by Thursday night when selections open. We've been delayed this year by having to set up raindelay.net for the World Cup and by our overly ambitious plan to ajax-enable footyrocks.net.

Hopefully, it will all be in place tonight when the teams are selected. If not, what a waste of time :banghead

But please put your selections in when they become open - you should receive an email saying when it's ready to make your selections. They have to wait for all the team sheets and then setting it up would take an hour or so, so it's generally late Thursday, early Friday that you're able to enter them.

If for some reason our league is stuffed up, you can still do the competition as an individual if you're registered.
Title: Re: Footy Rocks
Post by: Moi on March 29, 2007, 08:26:12 PM: Got a message from FR to say our league is up and running for 2007.

Games for round 1

Moi v Stephanie

Londontiger v wayne

Even though we didn't get 16 ppl, I'm still going to have the $50 RFC voucher for whoever wins.

This is the reply I got

Selections will be open all Thursday. You will be able to select anybody from the two teams playing Thursday night. Selections will be closed when the game starts. Selections will then open again for all the other teams when we get their proper team lists and will remain open until the game starts on Saturday afternoon. You will be able to change your team but anybody who played on Thursday night will not be able to be moved, removed or added.

They add the scores after each game as they finish so it changes until finalised late Sunday night. So if your team has mostly players playing in the Sunday games it says you've lost until the latter games are added and vice versa.

Just checked on the footyrocks site. We just put in our team as normal this week.

Quote
Round 12

This is a split round with 5 games this weekend and the last three next weekend. That means most Footy Rocks coaches get next week off. We've loaded last week's positions into the database for Richmond, Melbourne, Sydney, Collingwood, West Coke and St. Kilda. Just pick your team as usual and sit back and watch the footy next weekend without having to worry about getting your team in.

Coaches in Fantasy Leagues will get to change their team again next Friday when the team lists for the last three games are released. Anybody who scores in these first five games will not be able to be moved, added or deleted next week so choose your team wisely!

Yes this is a big week for the top two sides. Fluffy Tigers need the win more with the double chance in the finals on the line. But not only that but Fluffy Tigers and mightytiges are currently holding spots 2 and 3 in the whole Footy Rocks competition. It would be cool if one of us could pull off the win of the whole thing.

I think it's the same as any finals series - top players play off
So being on top of the ladder at the end of the 22 rounds means absolutely zilch ;D

I think that's how it works!

Although I thought you normally kicked it or handballed it after you took a mark, unless he marked it on the siren. :banghead :banghead

He didn't get a kick credited because there was a free paid downfield off the play as he took his kick- his actual kick went through the middle.

Why did we play the finals before the season ended?
I'm still putting in my team, Mrs Mopsy - you just never know we might clean up in the last two rounds in the overall - although somehow I doubt it :help

So the comp finishes by round 22. If it went longer then you'd have less players to choose from in the AFL finals with half the teams not playing. By GF week you'd only be able to choose a side from the two grand finalists.

I think I was suffering from Whiteline fever. I forgot to put a team in so it picked a team for me, with guys I have picked before, then substituted Richmond players for the gaps. I had D Meyer forward pocket, and just lost. ;)

Post by: Fluffy Tiger on September 03, 2007, 11:20:41 AM: Thanks guys.

I needed to pull out a big one in the final round and did (phew). It was very close for the top 3 teams all year.

This is one of the most fun competitions out there and would recomend it to all OER members next season.

The season is not over for both mightytiges and Fluffy Tiger as we both made the top 8 (I scraped in 8th with my big last round) of the whole thing and have chance to win the Footy Rocks Title. Lets hope a OER member can take it out.

Thank you Moi for sponsoring it , I think I will have to sponsor one next year or they wont let me play in any.
