BTO Club changes and rules discussion


Hi Guys

If you have moved clubs and I have the incorrect details for you in the weekly posts pleave a message here and I will update the table next week with the new update

SAJ also inquired about betting on clubs you are the chairman of - currently this is against the rules - but leave posts in an open discussion here if you want this changed

cheers

I dont see a problem with chairman bidding on the club they own myself. Chairman cant put in teamsheets, sure they could ask to know the team but I could just as easily ask a lot of people for there team and would get it.

Im pretty much with you on this one Luke

The advantage is minimal I reckon, and the irony is I caht about team selection with other friends on the game just as much if not more than a manager that I happen to be chairman of

Like I said - people can cast the deciding vote with their comments on this one chaps

On other thing I was going to propose was a general relaxing of the deadline for posting

We all have lives outside of FA, and punishing people for marginally skipping the 4pm deadline is something I really take no pleasure from - so on occasion - and with good reason (having to work late, taking the missus out etc etc) - id suggest rules can become more generous providided

1. No radio games are up yet
2. it is a one off and doesnt happen every week
3. you have not picked up any info you can use from the message board or chat rooms where FA is discussed (im on most of them so can police this lol)

It requires self governance from BTO players though and you cant take the piss with it

What do people think of this generally though?

Obviously its simpler for me to say 4pm deadline, you snooze you lose, and the same rule applies to all - but id prefer to have a little leway so people arent punished for things outside of their control

Tis a fair point Lukey Boy

All of this can be avoided with early betting - so it only affects those who want to bet late on the day / copy other peoples so perhaps its best left as is

Having said that - I know some people are as busy as me - and a good example being ive been trying to do my FAFF team for the last 2 weeks and still havent found time - some people do the same with BTO lol

Yeah I know time can be an issue but bto is really a
min to post. I think it leaves a dodgy area if we don't have a deadline.

Howdy Chaps

I think the consensus from this thread is that people dont see it as an issue. Ill leave this thread open over the weekend for any late objectors - otherwise people can bet on clubs they won from next week on

Cheers

I dont have a problem you betting on Arsenal this week to be honest mate

Hows about this - anyone who doesnt think its fair to allow chairman betting on clubs this week - you have untill 2pm tomorrow to raise an objection - otherwise chairman can bet on their clubs this week?

cheers
