Good morning @everyone ,
It is now time to open up registration for Season 12 which will be starting Sunday 1st October. Below is details on what you need to do and the relevant deadlines for signing up etc.
So what do I need to do to sign up?
To sign up and secure your spot for this season you will need to do two things. Firstly, you must either a) create a new TV1000 roster for a team of your choice on TourPlay or b) redraft your current team within the TV1300 cap and register it within MKBBL Season 12 league on TourPlay (redraft for current teams will go live Monday 4th September after the playoffs). You can create multiple teams using our test league, however your chosen team must be created or redrafted and added to the official MKBBL Season 12 league here:
Secondly, to secure your spot you will need to pay the league fee for the season (£18). All coaches new or returning must pay this fee in order to participate. This will enable the MKBBL to pay your monthly subscription for Tourplay for the season and pay for the venue we will be using. This fee should be paid to the MKBBL PayPal account (mkbbl@outlook.com), please pay this via friends and family as this stops PayPal taking a cut of your league fee.
When is the deadline for submissions?
The deadline for submissions is Sunday 24th September. This gives you six weeks to decide on a roster, create said roster on TourPlay and pay your league fee to the MKBBL PayPal. The deadline is exactly one week from our first league meet on the 1st October, this will allow me one week to create the divisions, set up the league, assign division reps to groups and post your fixtures for the 1st October.
How do I redraft my team from last season?
To redraft your team simply go to your team page on TourPlay and either hire or fire your current players to create a team. Remember that there is a treasury cap of TV1300. Therefore, you will only have 1300k maximum with which to redraft your team. Also remember any player you redraft costs an extra 20k per season to redraft. So spend your money wisely. Tourplay will work all of this out for you and tell you how expensive each player is to redraft.
Remember that the amount of money you have available to redraft with is based on your performance and treasury within the last season (to a maximum of 1300). This value will show up in your treasury when you go to your team page.
When redrafting it is important that you have 11 players on your roster. Failure to meet these two requirements will not allow you to renter this team into Season 11.
Note: Redraft for current teams will go live Monday 4th September after the playoffs
What am I paying a league fee for?
The league fee will be spent by the committee on the following: firstly, the TourPlay website charges us per coach per month. About £5 of the league fee will contribute towards this. This website allows us to create rosters, submit results, work out inducements/redrafts and populates a league table. It is currently the best way to run a league, especially with the numbers we currently have committed to us. Secondly some of the league fee will be used to provide all of you with a participation gift. Last season each coach received some custom MKBBL dice. Thirdly, the league fee will go towards paying for our venue that will host us this year (West Calder Bowling club). As a reminder your league fee will include your table fees for the 6 monthly sessions this season so you will NOT be required to pay extra on the day to play.
Once each coach has created their team in TourPlay and paid their league fee I will add you to the list of confirmed coaches for the season in the mkbbl season 12 coaches section on discord.
What are the dates for the upcoming season?
3rd September: Season 11 Playoff Semi and Final
Open day/free gaming for everyone else
1st October: Rounds 1 & 2
5th November: Rounds 3 & 4
3rd December: Rounds 5 & 6

10th March: Playoff SF & Final
If any of you have any questions about the following, please do not hesitate to contact me or another member of the committee. I look forward to seeing all your teams and rolling some dice with you all this season.
