Nanny Pat Memorial League

So as a few of you now know Premier Hax is now incorporating a secondary league competition, to be lovingly named the Nanny Pat Memorial League.
The purpose of course being to give everyone in a team's squad the chance to play; this league will otherwise be entirely separate from the current league, with its own table and set of fixtures. Since not every captain is submitting a team to compete in this league, fixtures may not necessarily be parallel to those in the main league.

Each of the following teams will be participating, with direct affiliation to their main league outfits

The Sheep (Sheepshaggers)
Nadir Leningrad (HK Stalingrad)
Pigeons (Guard Dogs)
Dejabies (DEJA)
Can Score (Can't Score)
Chicken Inn (Pelicans)
Arsenal Ladies (Arsenal)
Imagin8 (L8 Unseen)

We expect that most captains will be able to use a bit of common sense when selecting the lineups to participate in both competitions, but there'll be a couple of new rules to remember for teams playing in the NPML.

- Nanny Pat Memorial League games may include no more than two players that participated in the main league game per team over the course of the entire game.
(This may seem a bit lenient but this allows teams who have just the four players available on a given matchday to fulfill both their fixtures without the need to submit a wildcard.)

- If a team has 5 or 6 players online on a given matchday, then any players that are available and that played no part in the main league fixture must play for at least one half in the NPML fixture.
(Though we accept that in not every case being online means being able to play, perhaps due to ping issues for example. If you're unsure, check with an admin beforehand.)

- If a team has 7 or 8 players online on a given matchday, then any players who played the full match in the main league fixture may not play any part in the NPML match.

- If a team has only 3 players online then they may postpone their NPML fxiture. Any wildcarding of their main league fixture by a captain also applies to the NPML match, as it implies that the captain won't have the players to play either.

With that cleared up all is left is the fixture list which our dear friend corn will have posted up by the end of the day. We are fully aware that there are only 6 weeks left of the league season remaining and 14 NPML fixtures to be played, so in a couple of cases there will be double matchdays in order to catch up, with the selection rules for both still applying to the one main league match that took place concurrently.

All Nanny Pat Memorial League games will start at 8:30pm UK time, and the second game at 9pm when we have double fixture days.

Imo it would be best to stream after the Nanny Pat games - otherwise there would be clashes and if games were after stream then people might not want to watch stream as they would rather fs.

Make Nanny Pat games start at 8:30 and stream regular league match at 9.00?

agree with soc

Can we start Nanny Pat Memorial League at 7:30, then the regular league games at 8;00 and streamed game at 8;30. This will be perfect for my team, Nub cannot make the 9pm games.

I agree with Swie if these game were played earlier it means the players who don't play in first team could break into the first team with a great peformance

What Swi said would be better.

I mostly say this for selfish reasons, but Giggs backs it up with a solid argument.

I did consider it but thought that by having the main game first captains wouldn't face any potential restrictions in picking their main lineup.
Say if all 3 of the 'second-string' players had a blinder then the cap wouldn't be able to play the same team in the main game.

could do a vote, but i think that the people who have to be in bed by 9 is outweighed by the amount of people who may not be able to turn up half an hour earlier to practise before games

if u have to be in bed @ 9 u rly shudnt be playing

I just wanna say the Nanny Pat League team names are better than anything i've ever seen before

dw cm i'll convince them eventually
