**NEW REGISTRATIONS OPEN** ARS Signup Thread

    You cannot sign a contract or play without filling out this form

    Registrations explained.
    Read this if you take the sim seriously. I won't waste your time if you're signing up just for numbers/to help someone out.

    Code:
    Height is a commodity. Like basketball, it is far more valuable in certain positions than virtually any other sport. If 
    you are a key position player (FF/CHF/CHB/FB/Ruck) then it is extremely valuable. For the smaller positions, not so much. 
    If you're a pocket, you'll find yourself struggling at ground level which is imperative to succeed in these positions if you 
    are too tall. You'll be overpowered (in the negative sense) if you're too small. If you're a midfielder, you can get away 
    with being up to 6'3 - as it gives you extra strength through the contests but at the cost of mobility. It is a tradeoff as 
    a midfielder, you'd be trading mobility for power. Likewise, you can get away with being 5'10 as a midfielder, but you're 
    likely to struggle when it comes to strength. As a result, if you're a flanker, the need for height is about between the 
    midfielders and forwards. With that in mind, if you sign up as a key position player, every centimetre of height you have 
    will be advantageous, and as a result you'll be slightly nerfed accordingly. If you sign up as a small key position player, 
    the nerfing will be done within the match engine anyway. It is not advisable. Ideally, Pockets are between 5'9 and 6'0. 
    Flankers are between 5'10 and 6'2. Midfielders 5'9 and 6'3. Key forwards 6'4 and 6'6 and Rucks 6'6 and 6'10. If you are 
    a ruckman and sign up as a super tall ruckman, do not expect to be Sandilands tier compared to everyone else. It will 
    have its drawbacks. Just like for key forwards - some of the best key forwards are only 6'3/4. They play a different 
    game, but they're effective. A good proportion of them are 6'5-6'6 now, though. Consider your height with relation to 
    your 'role' - which will be explained below. I've covered it in depth here as it is absolutely essential.
    
    Weight too is a valuable asset. You can choose to be light, and as a result quicker - but you'll find yourself being 
    knocked out of contests very easily. You can make yourself heavy, and at the cost of mobility have increased strength. 
    Consider both your height and position. As a general rule I wouldn't recommend being any lighter (in kgs) than your 
    height in centimetres - 107 or any heavier than your height - 93..
    A guide to positions can be found here. If you are new to AFL, I advise you research positions before you sign up.

    I'm okay with people changing positions. I can guarantee that if you were in a low contribution position before and stick with it, your contribution will be far more significant in the new sim. No more 'midfielders and full forwards being the only players who matter' - so I do encourage people to stick with it. However, if you regret your signup or want a seachange, go for it. Just beware that it's likely a lot of people will be signing up as midfielders so you might be pushed into a spot that doesn't suit your skills if you *change* to one.

    Positions. - Talents in brackets.
    The talent influences the distribution of your skills to make you better and worse in different degrees of football. I'm hoping it allows for greater differentiation and tactics. In brackets is a real life example of said role. If you can think of a better example, let me know. This is off the top of my head

    Full Back (Lockdown Defender (Ben Rutten), Contest Specialist (Ted Richards), Rebounding Defender (Scott D. Thompson), Swingman (Brian Lake))
    Back Pocket (Running Back (Dylan Roberton), Lockdown Defender (Nick Smith), Precision Kicking Back (Shannon Hurn))
    Half Back Flank (Loose Man Specialist (Nick Maxwell), Lockdown Defender (Alan Toovey), Precision Kicking Back (Grant Birchall), Running Back (Heath Shaw), Balanced Back (Andy Otten))
    Centre Half Back (Rebounding Defender (Michael Johnson), Lockdown Defender (Daniel Talia), Swingman (Jake Carlisle), Contest Specialist (Rory Thompson))

    Onball/Wing (Wingman (Dale Thomas), Goalkicking Midfielder (Dustin Martin), Inside Midfielder (Josh P. Kennedy), Outside Midfielder (Brendon Goddard), Balanced Midfielder (Chris Judd), Tagger (Ryan Crowley)
    Ruckman (Mobile Ruckman (Dean Cox), Forward Ability (Matthew Kreuzer), Hitout Specialist (Sam Jacobs), Athletic Ruckman (Patrick Ryder) (must be 6'5-6'6 for Athletic Ruck)

    Forward Pocket (Forward Tagger (Matt DeBoer), Pressure Specialist (Paul Puopolo), Crumbing Specialist (Jeff Garlett), Linkup Forward (Tom T. Lynch)
    Half Forward Flank (Forward Tagger (Mitch Robinson), Extra Midfielder (Paul Chapman), Linkup Forward (Jack Watts), Flanker (Chris Knights))
    Full Forward (Swingman (Michael Hurley), Ruck Relief (Josh Jenkins), Dead Eye Dick (Jack Gunston), Contested Marker (Kurt Tippett), Athletic Forward (Adam Goodes))
    Centre Half Forward (Swingman (Jarryd Roughead), Ruck Relief (David Hale), Contested Marker (Travis Cloke), Athletic Forward (Lance Franklin), Playmaker (Nick Riewoldt))

    - I advise if you are a dual key back/forward that you select Swingman as your talent
    - Only select a talent that matches your POSITION 1
    - The kick/handball %s thing is completely optional. I'd only advise those who know AFL do it. It essentially controls what you'll look to do with ball in hand. Too much of one is detrimental. An even spread is often best but some might want to cater it to their role/player type. If you don't fill it in, I'll do it for you in a generic, fair way that won't disadvantage people. Filling it out is a risk. Just a disclaimer. Having a run% above 15 or so will see you get done for holding the ball very often. Most players in the CPL database are between 5-13%

    Team owners are not to pressure players into signing into certain positions. They can advise on how to complete the form for afl inexperienced blokes, but with regards to both positions and talents, let the poster choose. Feel free to advise on what each talent will do though.
    I'll set up a help thread in an hour anyway as I know it's complex as.

    If there are any viable talents afl fans think I've missed, VM/PM me.
