Titolo: IES Fantasy Football League 1997-98!!!!

From that on, base prices will be used to determine player prices (for
the draft).  All players of a position (i.e. defense, midfield, etc....
) will cost the same base price in the draft, with the exception of the
10 marquee players of each position (30 total... 10 each of defenders,
midfielders, and strikers).  These 10 marquee players of each position
will be divided amongst the 3 divisions (Italian, English, and
Spanish).  For instance, in the Spanish league, there could be 4 marquee
defenders, while the English and Italian leagues would have 3 a piece. 
There are no marquee players for goalkeepers.  The prices are as
follows.... 
Prices 
     Team franchise player manager decides to keep (his option) = $5
million 
* Up until the end of the draft, the prices for players will be as
follows: 
     Defender = $3 million 
     Marquee Defender = $4 million 
     Midfielder = $4 million 
     Marquee Midfielder  = $6 million 
     Striker = $6.5 million 
     Marquee Striker = $10 million 
* After the draft, the prices will be as follows (for players on the
open market): 
     Defender = $3.5 million 
     Marquee Defender = $5 million 
     Midfielder = 4.5 million 
     Marquee Midfielder = $7.5 million 
     Striker = $8.5 million 
     Marquee Striker = $15 million 
* The minimum price for goalkeepers at all times will be $12 million
dollars, except for during the goalkeeper draft, where goalkeepers will
be bid upon to see which goalkeepers go to which team. 
**** However, when a team wishes to sell one of its players to the open
market, they are sold for the "draft" prices.  For instance, if a team
purchases a marquee defender off the open market during week 3 (price of
$5 million), but decides to sell that player back to the open market
after the minimum 3 games, the amount of money the team will get in
return for the player is $4 million (the "draft" price for the marquee
defender). 
Goalkeepers 
When you choose your goalkeepers, you will not be choosing an individual
goalkeeper, but a team, and subsequently all goalkeepers who play for
that team (thanks to FFI for the idea!).  This will ensure every IES
team has a goalkeeper playing for that team every match.  For instance,
the choice of Inter's goalkeepers will give you Pagliuca, Mazzantini,
and Pantanelli, and if you select to play the Inter goalkeeper for your
league game, you will play the goalkeeper for whoever Inter plays that
week.  A team can have more than one set of goalkeepers, but may only do
so after every team has selected a goalkeeper in the draft.  All teams
must bid at least 12 million dollars for a goalkeeper in the draft. 
Debts 
Debts will be accepted for a short time, but failure to correct the red
numbers after a couple of weeks will result in a warning at first, and
then, if the debt continues, point deductions. 
Schedule 
The schedule of all teams will be exactly as the schedule appears in
reality for the team he is playing as.  For example, The IES Serie A
schedule will be the same as the actual Serie A schedule.  If Atalanta
plays Bari in Week 3, then IES-Atalanta will play IES-Bari in Week 3 of
the IES season.  This is true of the regular season matches. 
The country's Cup matches and the IES Cup matches will be played during
weeks determined at a later date, which are concurrent with the regular
season.  For instance, in the Spanish league, the first round of the cup
could be played concurrent with week 15 of the regular season, meaning
how well the players played in the real week 15 will be used to score
both the regular season matches and the cup matches.  Further detail
will follow in time. 
Scoring Formula 
As stated before, the great thing about this competition is it's not
simulated; the results are directly related to how well your players
play week in and week out.  The Serie A formula is different from that
of the Premiership and Liga, because that particular formula was made to
incorporate individual player ratings into the computations, making the
results even more determant on how your players play.  If anyone knows
of newspapers in Spain or England that rate the players and are
accessable
on the Internet, let me know, and I'll change the formulas of those
leagues to incorporate ratings as well. The following formulas will be
used for the league matches and the country's Cup matches.  The IES Cup
matches will be scored on a different formula that has not been
determined as of yet. 
     SERIE A SCORING FORMULA 
Will be listed soon.... 
     PREMIERSHIP AND LIGA SCORING FORMULA 
Will be listed soon.... 
Mailing List, E-mail notices, etc.... 
As of now, we are not sure of the exact method we will use to distribute
information amongst the managers.  A mailing list at ISFA is a
possibility, as are several other methods... but the most important
thing to do before this has been completed is to start putting managers
with the teams they wish to manage. 
**** At this point, I leave off, wishing only that all competitors have
the best of luck in this competition.  Questions, comments, etc... can
be mailed to me at 
pagl...@earthlink.net
 regarding issues that I have
failed to cover on this sheet or things that you're unclear about.
Arrivederci!
Reb
Forza INTER e PARMA!!!!
