General Rules:
1. Tactical set-ups will be randomly allocated to a randomised list of managers
2. Snake Draft Format for picking players - i.e. picks start with Manager 1, then 1-16, 16-1, 1-16 and so on.
3. All managers have 8 hours to decide their pick, if not they can pick whenever they are ready while the draft continues. Three missed picks in a row results in loss of the eight hour window.
4. DO NOT name unpicked players, repeat offenders will be punished by the draft mod.
5. When you make a pick, please post the player name and/or a picture, update the ongoing draft list and tag the next manager.
6. Once a pick is posted in the thread, either by a manager or his assistant, it CANNOT be changed. This rule is final, no exceptions (posted by mistake, etc). Be careful before posting a pick.
7. There will be 12 rounds of drafting.
8. Please try to do an in depth profile of your set-up and general player profiles if possible, in the draft thread itself, with a basic description in the match-day OP
9. Once the teams are done the matches will follow. All matches will run for 24 hours
Draft Rules:
1. As a tribute to historically great and influential classic systems, the tactical systems have to be replicated/recreated on a strict basis, with the core ideology of the system remaining intact.
2. Blueprints will be provided with XIs, which have to be followed. Only the modern personnel fits are left to the manager's interpretation. No tactical tweaks/variations allowed and the overall balance and interplay of the original set-up has to be reflected in the remake.
3. Teams will be judged on how well they manage to replicate the formation, the ideology of the set-up and the modern player fits in a hoslistic fashion
4. All players born after 1st Jan 1975, with the exception of Messi and C.Ronaldo, are available for drafting
5. The draft shall commence officially on 25th May 15:00 GMT, with the 8 hour deadlines coming into effect
Match Rules:
1. Draft matches would be decided based on who has crafted/recreated the more coherent and cohesive tactical set-up as opposed to who might win in a fantasy encounter. Hopefully, this paves way for interesting discussions on the set-ups themselves - delving deeper into the creation/evolution etc of said set-up - and the personnel fit.
2. Voters are asked to consider the XIs featured as remakes of classic teams, and to consider to what extent the manager has succeeded in re-creating both the individual roles and the overall functionality of the original. This is not a fantasy match but a comparison of remakes.
3. All managers have to follow the given template for write-ups in the OP and it shouldn't exceed a single post
4. No substitutions and tactical changes (role reversals etc) are allowed within a match-up.
Restrictions:
1. C.Ronaldo & Messi
Reinforcements:
1. First round (Pre QF) of reinforcements will consists of 2 picks per team and will be conducted in the reverse order of the initial format.

3. Pre final reinforcements wil be conducted in Sheep Format. The two finalists will submit one pick and one pick and one block each, for three rounds. This means you can can add upto 1 player to your team and you will exit the round as soon as you have one successful pick.
