Application for Winter 2018 league is now closed and we appear to have exactly 3 leagues of 6. Thank you for this, you have all made my job a little easier.
I will be posting the Divisions and the rules in 3 separate threads later today, once I have had a chance to finalise who is in which division.
Please note that this 'initial line up', although partly based on my perceived ability of players, is also heavily influenced by 'friend groups' that have played in the other impromptu leagues that I have run (the tester for this and the alternative world cup). I am also putting myself in the lowest league along with others who I believe will be able to help me assist the newer guys with the rules and the idiosyncrasies of the JCZ program (which are not always obvious).
The league matches will start on 1st December, but I strongly recommend that everyone plays at least one pre-season friendly match to get used to the strange scoring. My friends that have helped with the set up of this league already know that winning a match in itself is no longer the be all and end all, and different tactics are to be employed than simply trying for the win.
Thanks, by the way, to Danisthirty, Rich_the_fish, Halfling, Rosco, Chooselife, MrNumbers and Decar for their assistance so far.
Let us now make this work!
