AFA Round Up - 2nd Edition

The season has ended. Congratulations to all who have won honours this season.

AFA Premiership:

The top flight league of the AFA was decided on the very last day of the season as Sunday Footballers F.C. captured their second successive title on goal difference after Jammella FC failed to capitalise on their chance to create an upset in the race for the Premiership crown after losing 4-1 to AFC Caveman in the last match of the season. Sunday Footballers F.C. will have to count themselves lucky but still worthy winners after a difficult injury plagued season.

AFA Division 1A:
Congratulations to Vault dwellers on their impressive performance in the AFA Division 1A. They ended 4 points ahead of closest rivals FC Millenium 1987. Both of whom have secured Premiership places for next season.

AFA Division 1B:
The AFA Division 1B can only be described as being dominate by The Horde. Having ended the season 25 points ahead of the closest competitor, they certainly left the pack in their dust and capture the title as well as promotion to the top flight.

AFA Cup:
Sunday Footballers F.C. failed to do the league and cup double after being defeated by Jammella FC in the AFA Cup. Jammella FC were out for revenge after throwing away their chance of winning the AFA Premier League at the very last moment.

AFA Non-Premiership Cup:
The Horde ended their season is superb fashion capturing a Non-Premiership double after handing out a 3-1 defeat to Aslanlar SK. The Horde have given AFA Premier League teams a reason to worry as they will enter the top flight next season.

AFA Under-21's:
NakedMusic's youths have won the AFA U-21's in dominating style after finishing top with 13 points ahead of second place making them undoubtedly the best youth set-up in the AFA. Watch out for a few future stars coming through the ranks. You heard it here first.

Thats it for this edition of the AFA Round Up. Look out for the next issue as the start of the new season approaches. Good luck to all for the upcoming season!

== Welcome ==

This is the second semi-weekly XEFA newsletter. Contrary to the previous newsletter, I have decided to try and update this one to incorporate all divisions in the XEFA federation. Equality for all and all that jazz…

-- AI Regulations

I just want to make a few things clear regarding the AI% of your team, as these percentages are important. As you know, exceeding the AI% of 25% is punished with a 75% deduction of the league prize money.

Also, any team exceeding the AI% set by the XEFA by 25% or more should be relegated to the division below and denied promotion. For all XEFA leagues, this means that teams with an AI% of 50% or over are automatically relegated to a lower division or denied promotion when they are already in the lowest division.

Managers may be removed from XEFA if they exceed the AI% figure set by 25%, for a second season running.

Inactive teams may be removed from XEFA if they have not signed into the game for over 1 month and are not set on Holiday Mode (unless you have been informed by the user of an extended absence).

As a warning or incentive to play more matches, I’ve added a list of teams currently exceeding the 50% AI regulations beneath the write-up of their respective divisions.

-- Youth Competitions

In an effort to make the XEFA even better of it’s members, we have started a number of youth competitions. Right now, we’re just testing them all to see if they work. Next season, they are open to the general public. If you wish to enter such a league, just send an e-mail to one of the XEFA organisers.

== XEFA Premiership ==

-- Last week’s performances --

As expected, Remon’s impressive Red Naruto looks en route to their second consecutive XEFA Premiership win. The team is currently 31 points clear from the runner-up in the Premiership, Star-Light.

Down the bottom, things are looking more interesting. Martin seem doomed, with a mere 42 points they will have to improve dramatically to get above the dreaded red line.

Zylki, Ownage Beta FC and Fortuna Aeternitas are battling to stay clear from the fourth and final relegation spot. Out of those three, Fortuna and Ownage have a higher projected points total, but theoretically they can still drop down a division if they become careless.

-- Teams exceeding AI Regulations

The following teams are currently exceeding the 50% AI regulation, which will result in instant relegation at the end of the season, should this number remain above 50%. The team’s current ranking is also included.

Star-Light (2) at 55%
Rancho Bernardo FC (5) at 66%
Upstroof United (6) at 77%
Alpha Academy (7) at 85%
Chelsea Warriors (8) at 92%
Dirty_Boy (12) at 55%
The Napoli Re-Birth (14) at 93%
Zylki (17) at 82%
Bld.evleri S.K (18) at 80%
Olympique de Marsilia (19) at 92%
