Welcome to the Official AT Xbox 360 NCAA 11 Online Dynasty Kickoff Thread! We're hoping to start league play starting on Saturday, 7/31, assuming we can get the rosters in place by then. If you want to join, it isn't too late! Just skip down to the "Joining the league" section for details. (NOTE: Users who have signed up for our league should PM me their gamer tags as soon as possible).
UPDATE 7/27: The dynasty is called ATNCAA11 and the password is atncaa11. Once you select your team, you can manage it online by logging in at http://www.easports.com/dynasty.
General Guidelines:
1. Quarters will be 6 minutes long.
2. Difficulty will be All American.
3. Generally speaking, the league will be advanced once per week, so the expectation is that you will play one game per week. Please note that if the league is still operating during the holidays, we will generally extend the cycle so that you'll have 2 weeks to play a game over Thanksgiving and 3 (maybe even 4) weeks to play your game over Christmas/New Years.
4. Communicate, communicate, communicate! Communicate with your opponents to schedule games, etc. If you schedule a game and can't make it, PLEASE tell your opponent and reschedule it! Emergencies do happen and we understand that, but those should be the exception and not the rule.
5. Did I mention communicate? If you won't be able to play a game in a given week, communicate that to the commissioner. Similarly, if your opponent is another person, communicate with that person that you won't be able to play that week as well. If you can't play a game in a week against a CPU, it will be simmed. If it is against another person, you will be temporarily removed from the league so the other person can play the CPU.
6. Anti-cheese rules: We want to try to have a fun and enjoyable league and to do that, we're going to try to play as closely as possible to how a real football team would play. So here are a few rules to help govern a couple of the biggest areas of concern:
Onside kicks: Onside kicks will not be allowed unless you're down by more than 7 points or you're behind (regardless of how much) and there are less than 2 minutes left in the game.
Fourth downs: If you signed up for this league, then you probably watch football, so use some common sense on fourth down scenarios. That means if you're up by 30 points, on your own 25, and have 4th and 2, PUNT THE BALL! Here are some guidelines to help you decide how to handle the situation:
*You shouldn't be going for it on 4th down in your own territory unless you're way behind (14 pts or more) and it is in the second half.
*Be a good sport -- if you have 4th and short in your opponents territory and are within field goal range, kick the FG.
*If you're in that "gray area" (in your opponents territory, between the 33 and 40 yard lines), it is OK to go for it on 4th and short (3 yards or less).
Violations of these rules should be reported to the commissioner and co-commissioner. Repeated violations could result in the user being expelled from the league.
