Social Wrighty's Player Agent Game Rules posted

[Wrighty]

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have updated the rules in the Opening post based on
* The letter combinations choices you must pick from when it is your turn to be round master
* The list of now 69 legends/Chris Hodges stable.

Please come to me before November 1 with any further requested rule changes as would like to baseline the rules on that date and only make changes afterwards if absolutely an error or issue has been spotted.

I encourage everyone to review the opening post to see the rules in full

Here is Chat GPTs summary of the rules

NRL Player Agent Auction Game — Quick Rules Summary​

Full rules and details are in the opening post of the thread. Read this version for a fast overview before play begins.

Eligibility​

• You can draft any player who:
  • Played at least one NRL first-grade game in 2025 (including 18th man appearances), or
  • Is part of the Hodges Agency Stable — a list of top NRL-era players (see full list in the opening post).
• Picking a Hodges Agency player may trigger random Chris Hodges instructions, which you must follow.

---

Game Structure​

• 12 players + Chris Hodges, 12 rounds.
• Each round has a Round Master, who:
  • Gets a bonus budget ($500K early, up to $1M late rounds).
  • Chooses a letter combo for that round.

Letter combinations (each used once):

1. B
2. M
3. T
4. C
5. F
6. H
7. S
8. G & E
9. L & K
10. P & I

Bidding Rules​

• Start with a $15M war chest.
• Minimum bid = $200K, increments of $10K.
• You must make at least one bid each round.
• Max two bids per player.
• Auctions open each morning and close 6PM sharp.
• Aim to build the best 17-player squad (you can own more).

Hodges Events​

Random interventions may occur (e.g. forced fines, restricted bids, or lineup changes).

• Apply only through Round 11 — Round 12 is Hodges-free.

---

Endgame​

• After Round 12, managers vote on the best team.
• Keep your team list and budget updated in a separate thread.

---

Conduct​

• No PMs or off-thread communication.
• No collusion or trading.
• 3 infractions = disqualification (but good sportsmanship can earn a green card).
• Moderator (Wrighty) may adjust or create rules as needed — decisions are final.
