There's no RP bonus anywhere. This will refrain much teams for joining, as it is not worth putting time in it. That's also my opinion. The rest of the game looks rather worked out, though. Also: I'm not joining.

Thanks Nethertopia. It is really meant to be a simple game that players don't have to spend much time on. They basically submit their team and starting players and then get informed how a match went and if their players have injuries. They then submit their team for next week. I just wanted something quick and simple. So the time for each player is basically 15 minutes to submit a team and 3 minutes a week. Not much to it :)

if you can use hands and pass, why do they use gloves? and why have a card system?

^^ certain styles of gloves have better grip than just skin, allowing better throws,passes and catches. as for the cards, i agree. i dont get the whole card system.

are you saying that they have to repost a new team EVERY week? thats a bit excessive, dont you think?

Because you can not use hands to catch the ball. You can only deflect or smash the ball with your hands. Gloves also makes tackling more interesting Remember they are a similar shape to boxing gloves!

Whats wrong with cards? I have the cards printed and made. Just means I deal out the results. How should I do it?

I dont think gloves the same style as boxing gloves will help you no matter how good their grip is! Cards is easy for me as I have the cards. The players do not simulate the game.

No. At the start a player submits their squad (8 players + 1 pool player). Each week they just send in their 4 players who will play that week. They may have players who have injuries so they need to submit a team each week.

EG:
D1: Bill Smith
D2: Tom Jones
A1: Harry Pale
A2: Dick Death

After the match I post the results and table. I also email each player their teams updated player stats. I will keep all the stats on record.

I don't think that is extreme.
