Announcements
The league is *closed.* No more new teams will be accepted! I apologize for the inconvenience.
The league, for convenience, has been divided into two leagues, North and South. You can determine the league your team is in by looking at the team lists below. Each team will play three other teams within their league. At the end of this 'season,' the two winningest teams from each league will move on to the next round. During the next period, two more teams will be eliminated. The remaining two teams will compete against each other for the grandprize and the title of NFFL Champions.

To all team owners, note that winning a game in the first round of the season will net you 300 gold. This amount will increase during the second round of the season, and will heavily increase during the championships. More information on this will be available later!

The Hakodate Diamonds are an NPC team created to fill out the league. They will play games, but if they win, they will not receive any reward money.

Old News
This is the new Fanatikan Football Association, created
Naervod’s original idea generated large amounts of interest, but due to time constraints, he was unable to continue the league. Naervod will be a co-manager for this new league and will help me run some aspects of it. died before it left the ground. This new Football league will be similar to the original idea, but will have many added benefits, including the following:
  • Live Broadcast Games
  • Rewards for Winning Teams
  • Expanded Team Creation System
  • Legal Sports Gambling (Sponsored by Gold Bluff Casino)
That’s right, these games will be broadcast live at #goldbluffcasino! This is possible due to a program written in Microsoft Excel that automatically determines whether a team runs, kicks, or passes and determines how many yards are gained and lost. It even takes into account a team’s Offense/Defense/Special scores as well as random factors. These games will be done twice weekly, most likely one on Wednesday and one on Saturday.
In addition, I have spoken with FortyJ, the owner of the reputable Gold Bluff Casino and any citizen of the RPG (besides the announcer, obviously) will be allowed to bet money on the outcomes of these games.

Now here is the important part... Creating a team requires a fee of 500 gold, not counting extras. This fee will mostly go into a general pot for distribution of rewards and to cover league costs. This investiture comes with a money-back guarantee, so if the league folds, all team owners will receive their fee back.

The following is the information needed to create a team
Team Name:
Home City:
Team Colors:

You have 18 points to distribute into the following categories
Offense:
Defense:
Special Teams:

Offense affects passing, rushing, and helps your team to score overall. Defense helps to intercept passes, block passes, and helps to keep the other team from scoring overall. Special Teams increases the likelihood of making Extra Points and Field Goals, as well as increasing your kicking distance.
Your team will not do well if they have no Special Teams Points! With no points placed in Special Teams, it will be impossible for a team to kick a field goal at a distance greater than 30 yards.

In addition, your team gets to choose two special abilities. These are explained below.
Kicking: Provides a +2 Bonus to Special Teams when kicking
Receiving: Increases team's returning distance when receiving a kick
Passing: +2 bonus to Offense when passing
Running: +1 bonus to Offense when running
Intercepting: +2 bonus to Defense when blocking passes, increased chance of interception
Blocking: +1 bonus to Defense at all times (Except when blocking a pass)
Sportsmanship: 50% fewer penalties

If you wish to provide a boost for your team, you can invest extra gold into training. Although buying a couple extra points is pretty cheap, the price increases exponentially... Buying one extra point to put into Offense, Defense, or Special Teams costs only 25 gold, but further points begin to cost more, as per the chart below:
Code:
1st point - 25 g
2nd point - 50 g
3rd point - 100 g
4th point - 200 g
5th point - 400 g
6th point - 800 g
7th point+ - 1000 g each
You can buy *one* extra feat for 150 gold.
All these extra points will carry over to the next season, but you can redistribute them anyway you choose. This reflects trading and the appreciation of value in trained players. You may buy these extra points or ability at any time during the season as you deem necessary.
Teams must be signed up by 12 AM this Saturday! Teams that register late will have to pay a 50 gold late fee. That’s it for now, and good luck to all players!

Team Bio
The Huntington Monarchs once played as the Bohemia Monarchs in the failed original Fanatikan Football League. The team owner, Margrave Shaitan Snow, was thrilled to get the chance to revitalize the team under the auspices of a new league. He moved them to Huntington, Rhineland, where the favorable climate allows them the freedom to practice almost year round and the more relaxed and easier lifestyle of the local populace helps to fill the colloseum seats. (Rumors of large kickbacks from the corrupt local officials are completely unfounded.)

The team carries with it a strong tradition of defensive football and is modeled after the adage "Offense wins fans, defense wins championships". Margrave Snow has invested a considerable amount of his own funds into strengthening the team in this mold. The Monarchs are also known as very mature and sporting players. This also came at a cost as councilors and coaches worked hard to remove their previous "bad boy" image and mentality.

Erm, sorry JDD, I forgot to mention that you can initially only put up to ten points in any one skill. The only way to put more than ten points into a category is if you buy the extras.
Entirely my fault for forgetting to say that. My apologies!

Bio
The Kyoto Dragons were once known as the Plexenburg Red Hawks and were on of the original four teams of the failed Fanatikan Football League. Cultural Minister Plexus, was dissapointed when he first heard that the original FFL closed after lack of interest and organization. But he jumped at the chance to get back into the organized sports game. Ancient Kyoto was chosen as the new location of the Dragons do to Plexus' large holdings in the area and that the metropolis was large enough to support a successful football team.

The Dragons follow the ideals of the dragon: fast, strong and a fiery temper. And it's superior offence shows it. The Duke of Zimt put a large amount of his fortune into the new team and expects great things from it.

I have decided to by some extras, Though Right now I am on a strict budget so I should by a few.
 
SaaM, you paid for the extra feat, but didn't specify which one you wanted.
Also, CG, your Imperials have the same hometown as Shaitan's Monarchs. Are you sure you want to have them in the same city? I can imagine the confusion already ;-)

Please have your teams posted by 5 PM EST tomorrow!

Bio:
This is the same team that was a member of the original FFA. Mayor Octavian felt it approitiate to sponser a team for the capital once again.

If this team has one weakness, it has to be it's rather inexplicable obsession with doughnuts...

Logo: We're sorry, but the team can not afford to have a logo made at this time. The team spent too much money supplying players with doughnuts...

BTW: Veera, past the deadline, can I still get pay for more training?
 
Yes, a team can buy training at any time during the season. Thanks for your application Octavian, and thanks for correcting your team CG :)

NEWS UPDATE: News updates are posted at the very top of this thread!

Padma, you did your math wrong I believe... You can buy only 6 points for 1575, not 8 points. You can either pay 1800 more gold for the extra two points, or choose to subtract two points from what you bought in your post. Sorry :/
