Welcome to the first demonstration of the New American Football League!

This week, we will feature the Chateauvallon Partisans versus the Eutopia City Violators as our featured match up.

The games this week are for exhibition purposes only, and will not count toward season totals.

Actual games will be sanctioned and played through the NAFL starting next week. You can TUNE IN HERE! for all the action once it begins officially.

First, we'll have an explantion of the rules.

Next, our two teams will select their starting line-ups.

Then we'll watch as players score points for each team and one team emerges victorious.

Scores for other exhibition games will also be given, for the purpose of demonstration.

Then next week the games begin for real.

One franchise remains open, and it's not too late for us to add two more franchises if there is interest.

Are you ready for some football? Um...American football, that is. :D

Rules

RULES
Teams consist of twelve players/units: 2 Quarterbacks (QBs), 2 Running Backs (RBs), 4 Wide Receivers or Tight Ends (WR/TE), 2 Kickers (Ks) and 2 team defenses/special teams units (D)s.

Each week team managers will announce their starting line-up by Wednesday. Each team will start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WRs or TEs (or combo), 1 K, 1 D.

Each team will score points based on the scoring of the NAFL players' NFL counterparts.

Example: The Partisans of the NAFL start QB "Burt" Warner. He throws 2 touchdowns and runs for 1 touch down. (OOC: Based on what the RL KURT Warner does in the NFL). He would score 18 points for the Partisans.

On Offense: each touch down = 6 points, each field goal = 3 points, each point after touchdown (PAT) = 1 point. On Defense or Special teams, any touchdown = 6 points, safeties = 2 points, running a PAT back for a score = 1 point. Some offensive players also play special teams. You only earn points for your starting offense for points they score while on offense.

Teams will play head-to-head. Whichever team in a game scores the most points wins.

Selecting Starters

Before each game, the general manager or president of the team needs to submit his starting line-up. (see rules above).


For this week's featured game that means the Partisans and Violators will pick their starters.

Once the NAFL draft is complete, teams can choose from their full rosters. Since this is only exhibition, each team can choose from the players they have.

For the Partisans, they will choose 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WRs or TEs, 1 K, and 1 D from their full roster. The Violators will do the same.

Partisans
McNabb, QB
Warner, QB
Williams, RB
Tomlinson, RB
Ward, WR
Driver, WR
Horn, WR
Robinson, WR
Longwell, K
(2nd K)
Carolina D
Titans D

Violators
Manning, QB
Favre, QB
Portis, RB
Faulk, RB
Moss, WR
Gonzalez, TE (WR)
Franks, TE (WR)
Coles, WR
Elam, K
(2nd K)
Falcons
(2nd D/ST)

(OOC: Exhibition Owners (heagarty and Craig Ashley)will now select their starters)

(OOC: Now comes the fun part....With the line-ups set, the real NFL games are played between now (Thursday )and Monday night. The RL counterparts of our NAFL players will score pts that will be recorded here.

We will update scores as games are played, but the final scores will not be known until Monday night, and then we'll see who won: me or Craig )


For exhibition purposes, and to allow Eutopians new to American football to see how scoring works, the following games will also be played this week on an exhibition basis.

Douglas Devils vs.
Buen Puerto Stingrays

St. Brendanstown Brewmeisters vs.
Neuwestbaden Cougars

(OOC: These owners don't need to set line-ups, unless they want to. We'll just tally the scores for their rosters and assume they are playing the players they drafted first).

Now, we wait for the kickoff.....

Press Conference with Violators coach, "Iron" Mike Ditka.

Reporter: It was a close game coach, does this count as a moral victory for you squad?

Ditka: Yeah, it was a close game, but we played like crap. The guys on this team have to get it through their head that there are no superstars here, just players. I'll bench them without a second thought, and I don't care how much money they make or how good a year they had last year.

Reporter: Are any of the starters in danger of losing their jobs?

Ditka: Yeah, anybody not named Portis and Moss. Those guys gave it their all. I mean a 110% out there. The rest of the guys on our team could learn something from taking a look at those guys.

Reporter: So no one is secure? Not even starting quarterback, Manning?

Ditka: Listen, Manning went out there and looked like he was a third sting high school quarterback. If he don't get his act together quick, we have a steady veteran on the bench that I am confident can lead this team. Now I don't want to start a quarterback controversy. I'm just saying its good to know we have Favre waiting the wings if we need him.

Reporter: If Manning struggles again, can we expect to see Favre in the next game?

Ditka: Are the coach of this football team? No, I am. And I'll decide the starting lineup. Manning will start until I say so. If I decide to say so, I'll let you know ... if I'm in a good mood.

The bottom line today is we lost by a stinkin' safety. That is just sloppy play. I can promise you these guys won't make that mistake again. Cause after tomorrow, they'll know if they do, it will be the last thing they do. Now get out of here.

(OOC: Excellent Update! :D

Does everyone see how this works? We've still got the Monday Night Football games tonight, but once they are over I will post the scoring for everyone's teams here in this thread, so you can see how you would have done. After I do that, we'll close out the exhibition season and begin.

Looks like we have full league now, too. Make sure you welcome our newest owner to the league. ;) )

So where did these numbers come from that Craig Posted?

That's the beauty of this sports-sim! They are all generated based on real player performance in the American NFL.

For this first week, our exhibition game, real teams played and scored real points.

The trick is deciding which players on your team should start each week....or deciding to leave it all to fate, depending on how seriously you take it! :D

For Week One, here's how everyone in the league would have scored....

DEVILS
Culpepper, QB, 6+6+6=18
Maddox, QB 6+6+6=18
James, RB, 0
Dillon, RB, 0
Harrison, WR, 0
Boerigter, WR,0
Pollard, TE (WR),0
Heap, TE (WR), 2 (2pt conversion)
Vanderjagkt, K 3+3+3=9
Nedney, K, 3 INJURED
Ravens Defense, 0
Giants Defense, 6

Brewmeisters
Gannon, QB, 6+6=12
Bledsoe, QB, 6
Holmes, RB,6+6=12
Henry, RB 6+6=12
Owens, WR, 0
Price, WR, 0
Chrebet, WR, 0
Rice, WR, 0
Akers, K, 0
Carney, K 3+1=4
Raiders Defense, 0
Jaguars Defense, 0

StingRays
Brady, QB, 0
Brooks, QB, 6
Alstott, RB, 0
Ace McAllister, RB, 0
Porter, WR, 0
Gardner, WR, 0
Burress, WR, 0
Holt, WR, 6
Grammatica, K, 3+1+1=5
Vinatieri, K, 0
Bucanneers D, 0
Jets D, 0

Partisans
McNabb, QB, 0
Warner, QB, 6
Williams, RB, 6
Tomlinson, RB, 0
Ward, WR, 6+6=12
Driver, WR, 0
Horn, WR, 6
Robinson, WR, 6
Longwell, K 3+1+1=5
Mare, K,+1=2
Panthers Defense, 2
Titans Defense, 0

Violators
Manning, QB, 0
Favre, QB, 2+6=8
Portis, RB, 6+6=12
Faulk, RB, 0
Moss, WR, 6
Gonzalez, TE (WR), 0
Franks, TE (WR), 2
Coles, WR, 0
Elam, K, 3+1+1+3+1+3= 12
Wilkins, K, 3+3+1=7
Falcons Defense, 0
Rams Defense, 0

Cougars
Vick, QB - INJURED, 0
Ramsey, QB, 6
Alexander, RB, 6+6=12
George, RB, 0
Moulds, WR, 0
Stallworth, WR, 0
Toomer, WR, 0
Bruce, WR, 0
Janikowski, K,3+1+3=7
Feely, K, 3+1+1+3+1=9
Dolphins Defense, 0
Eagles Defense, 0


Since you can't play your whole team, which players would YOU have played? Much easier to pick them in hindsight, isn't it. ;)

So, using these numbers, and assuming that, unless injured, the other teams started the highest drafted players on their rosters, this weeks other scores would look like this:

Douglas Devils 27, Buen Puerto Stingrays 5

St. Brendanstown Brewmeisters 24, Neuwestbaden Cougars, 25


And with that, we'll conlude the exhibition season.

Please visit the general NAFL thread for any questions or comments.
