ok, quick question.
What is the etiquette for readying a roster?
One of my opponents this season mentioned something like "highest TV should ready first" which seems reasonable. Is this the generally accepted way of doing it? |

It's part of the FUMBBL tournemant rules, but I don't think there a hard and fast SWL rule.
That said, it's not unreasonable. As far as readying goes, I'd assume it would be either that or a double blind. |

If someone is taking it that seriously then I think we should call the waaaaaaaaaaaaaambumlance. |

I'd prefer a double blind situation, but that can't be enforced.
dazed, the main reason that so many teams aren't "readied" is you can't be 100% that your next opponent is coming along to play, so the decision between taking tackle or MB (for example) can't be assessed until the game is about to happen.
I really don't like the idea of modifying a team to get that extra inducement. Seems really gamey to me. |

Agreed and happy to do highest TV first. Just wondered if there was a rule I was unaware of. |

This is a league that apparently has people delaying their games to see the outcomes of the other games before playing... So it could happen. |

Why Highest TV? Surely highest on the ladder would be a better tiebreaker. |

It was an enquiry not a complaint.
As for what I should be taking seriously or not, I think I might avoid taking the advice of someone who wins 10% of his league matches!  |

Wasn't suggesting you were taking it overly seriously, but perhaps someone insisting you ready first because you have a higher TV so they can squeek out an extra inducement might be
And yeah, this:

I was the coach that said this. I assumed that the rules would be the same as for official FUMBBL (perhaps not then). It wasn't because I would have done anything differently getting my team ready, but I didn't want my opponent to deliberately make sure I wasn't getting certain inducements, particularly since I am playing up so much in TV. I noticed that pretty much every time I was playing, my opponents were waiting for me to ready first regardless. However if the SWL rules are different to the rest of FUMBBL then sorry about this.

I ready as soon as I fix my team from their previous game. My oppo can do whatever they want... Watch me not care 
Seems a bit, well... If you feel you need to wait to do inducement juggling then it probably doesn't matter what I do. |

Ok. I couldn't remember who it was. Just to be clear I didn't think you said anything inappropriate.
And Fortis, sorry misunderstood your point. |

Nah neither do I grod, and it is the etiquitte if it really matters. I think it's fine, but I generally assume people on here aren't going to do inducement juggling and other corner shooting stuff and then if they do I just groan and get the game over with. |
