the pooping in my popcorn was quite a feat without me noticing.

colonels probably put a little something in it making me not notice you or the poop tasting popcorn.

oops, i figured 932 was alright, but I'll make sure when I move up to make sure its over 1000 when I move up.

edit: theoretically lets theres spots open in a conf of teams seperated by 1000+ miles is that allowed or not?  Like in the S. Cal with Tx and Ca or In D2 like in the North American.  I'm not planning on that since I'm made the account so I could keep my D3 team while going up to D2 still, just wondered if people can do that.
no, you are not allowed to have 2 teams in the same conference, regardless of division.

the rules are that you can have 2 teams in the same world, even the same division, as long as you
1) are outside of 1000 miles (even d1/d3 teams have to be 1000 miles apart - as the crow flies, not driving distance)
2) are not in the same conference
3) do not play yourself in non conference
4) do not collude with those teams in recruiting

there was a legendary title game where vandydave played himself. i faced myself once in the elite 8, luckily the crappy team didn't upset the eventual champion, and i know a ton of other folks have played themselves in the tournament somewhere. VD is the only one who beat himself in the championship though, as best i know.

okay thank you for the list gillispie.

And you didn't mention, but I made sure to schedule seperate teams in non-conf for each team as well, I assume that would be considered bad or give an advantage possibly??  I also didn't schedule myself in exhibition games however I don't think that would matter, but didn't know so I didn't risk it.

I did this a few seasons ago in Rupp in the D1 title game as well

Here is the policy, found under Terms Of Use ==> Fair Play guidelines...

More than one team in the same world

One person (regardless of account used) cannot control more than one team in the same world within the same conference or within 1,000 miles or less of one another. Violation of this rule will lead to a forced relocation or removal from one of the teams.

If an owner finds himself in this situation due to accident, he should submit a support ticket and request to have himself transferred to a different school or removed from the world.

Collusive transactions

Collusion includes any act that supports bad, deceitful or illegal behavior agreed upon by two or more users or attempted by a single user. Here are a few examples:

  • Discussing the pursuit of a recruit with another coach, including who is pursuing him and money that might have been spent.
  • Sharing Future Stars Scouting (FSS) information between multiple teams
  • Scheduling a non-conference game against an alias team (i.e. team owned by same owner in a different conference and more than 1,000 miles away). Exhibition games are permitted in this situation, however.
  • Any clear throwing of a game (normally indicated by massive lineup changes or settings changes)
  • Specifically targeting another coach is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, focusing on recruits a particular coach is pursuing in order to steal them or force the coach to overspend.
  • Attempting to persuade another user to participate in a collusive effort (only the initiator would be at fault unless agreed upon by other user)

This thread from last year started by seble (ADMIN) might also be worth reading for those newer coaches...


ETA: I'd forgotten what a clusterfuck circlejerk that thread became towards the end...

I think aloud is actually not that bad.  Doing it silently is the problem.
