      Ok all. Time to stop arguing and for one person to finalise each team for the virtual comp

      XV players only.

      If no one has decided the final team I will do so (and I won't necessarily be nice)
      If you want to claim a player that someone else could have first dibs on it will be handy to state a backup. Otherwise decision will be first Union played for and a replacement will be taken from comments.

      I have done a draw. This will be a knockout comp with the draw redone randomly each round.
      There are some interesting matchups first up and some strong teams run the risk of an early departure.

        @Crucial Because I haven't kept up with all the rule changes are we limiting our teams to just the NPC era?

          Lazy Fecker. Read the 'How it works' thread.

          @Crucial said in Your Ultimate NPC Team - A virtual comp. How it works:

          Seeing as how most have taken the title literally, despite the idea that you can include older players (but need to justify how they would go), and because of whinging about poaching I'm making these changes/clarifications.
          NPC era players only.
          Deciding factor is first province.

          You can still try and claim a player that played with you as second union. It is only if first union also claims them that you will lose out.

          No 1920s guys for you

            We're out in the first round ... if we could include 1920s/1960s players we'd be battling it out with Auckalnd and Canterbury for the title. πŸ˜‰

                don't see why not, it's Hawkes Bay's best chance of competing

                  @mariner4life That makes 15 teams (I think) so I suppose one team gets a bye in the 1st round.

                      If the Tasman Invitational XV get to participate then why can't the Vikings Invitational XV? I've already selected the team - 14 Magpies and Christian Cullen. πŸ™‚

                      They can roll the Steamers in the first round like the 3 times they did in their short existence.

                          you're right, Aaron Smith probably won't make it at halfback over everyone's favourite HB halfback...

                              He can't hold a candle to Chris Eaton ... but I was limiting selection of the Vikings to players who actually played for the Vikings, so unfortunately both those two superstars miss out.

                                A option is to leave Southland out and do the bye in the first round as suggested

                                    I am sure we can collectively select a Southland team.

                                      Hmm, good point, the Vikings can have all the Poo players (but they may struggle to get 15).

                                            I will start posting teams below.

                                            Not too many where I had to shift players but from memory..

                                            Canterbury lost Rangi to Tasman's credit card. They get Deans instead so they have someone to blame
                                            Waikato lose Robinson to Taranaki because Naki lost Eaton to Manawatu. Gibbes is in according to the first line up
                                            Waikato also had to have Foster at 10 as their first two choices belonged elsewhere.

                                                Obviously if too late, all good (I mean if Hansen could name his team whenever, surely we can too)

                                                            It was up to you 'managers to make it clear. Some of the threads were a shambles to interpret.

                                                            @Bovidae you bracketed Monkley and Holah and most others had mentioned Monkley as their preferred (even hough he's a bit short). You also kept selecting players from other unions. πŸ˜‰

                                                            I'll make these last changes then, not that it will matter..

                                                              Can you put one clear list in your thread and I will adjust. Thanks
