The SR regos are used (attack/ defence/ kicking for those applicable) are all used. Preferred position is also used to define the difference between a forward and a back (if that makes sense) Other factors which influence players ratings is post count and form. Form all starts off the same and dependent on ratings from games it will go up and down from game to game.
Sounds good. Should be largely consistent with XVs SRC then - except you'll be missing the random factor, but that's fine as it's not unreasonable to expect people's abilities at 7s to be different from 15s.
Rank. I said count before didn't I? Definitely rank. Count isn't really useable, not only would it be a bitch to update everytime before a game. Eventually you'd get the perfect player since post count would increase certain ratings by x amount, thus meaning someone could be essentially rated 100 (doesn't work like that however) which would be extremely unrealistic and boring and just wouldn't work when heaps of people got to that mark. You couldn't move everyone down a bit every so often to compensate as that would be rigging it and making the sim ridiculously stupid and unrealistic.
For the captains in the draft Rego, will we be getting our own player or will we still be up for grabs with everyone? Say for example I chose Manera who is also a team captain.
Fairest way is for you to be all up for grabs as the team captains have different abilities. Wouldn't really be fair if one of the best players has their own player along with 6 other players and a newer guy had his player and 6 other guys making it unbalanced. Although none of you are new. Let's see what Heef says but personally I reckon it's fairer not to however if your player was in another team you'd lose interest in your own team. I'll leave this one up to Heef
I'd put captains into their own teams straight up personally. If anything, it's punishment to the shitter ones for not being better...
Captains will be in their own team. Still 3 more captains required, and I'm not going to be one. Volunteers to speak up ASAP so we can get the draft rolling.
Gonna rage if I'm not picked in the first round in this. My skillset should be perfect for a Sevens player.
