For FIFA 09, rather than litter the forum with three or four seperate threads (there's already a couple), I thought we could try doing the draw, discussion and results in the same thread. So here goes nothing.
Premier League draw
The draw follows. All Premier League teams, in alphabetical order, were placed in a list and randomised using the website RANDOM.ORG. The order was then cross-referenced with the numbers of each player in the signups thread, so for example, the first team in the randomised list would go to player #1, who is me.
You can verify that this draw is legit by clicking the above link, entering the following team list (exact spellings, excluding the words "will be managed by" etc.) and by using the persistent randomiser code "Evo-Web.co.uk" (minus quotes obviously).

******************************
FULL RULES & REGULATIONS:
THE BASIC RULES:
One full season is two in-game seasons consisting of playing each team once. You must play at least eight games per week. Your games-played total will be checked at around 6pm every Friday. If you cannot stick to this for any reason, people not accepting invites or going on holiday etc., you must report it in this thread. ALL RESULTS must be recorded by you and your opponent, and entered into this thread. Each result only needs to be posted once but feel free to include a match report if you like.
When someone drops out of the league, a reserve player will take over that team, and inherits all previous results for that team (any games they play that have already happened that season are null and void). Disconnect matches can be replayed as an unranked match, as long as both players agree to it. Otherwise, the result can stand as it was before the disconnection, or just one half can be replayed - whatever the two of you agree on.
ADVANCED RULES:
WARNING SYSTEM: A warning will be given for the following offences; 1) not playing the required amount of games per week, 2) quitting during a match [outside of lagging rules, see below], 3) lagging [see below], 4) having three league members state in the forums that they have experienced bad lag against you, whether this has resulted in a warning already or not* [see below]. Once you have accumulated three warnings you are banned from the league. THE SAME RULES APPLY TO EVERYONE, SO PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU BREAK THE RULES!
LAGGING: If you are playing in a game that is so laggy you feel you cannot continue, you must (I repeat, and please read this carefully, YOU MUST) quit the match within the FIRST FIFTEEN MINUTES - regardless of the score at that point. The result is then null and void. If you quit after fifteen minutes, accidentally or otherwise, this will go down as quitting and you will automatically be given a 3-0 loss and a warning. This is to prevent abuse of the system. Also, quitting in the first five minutes can only be done a maximum of twice per fixture, again to prevent abuse. You must contact your opponent and tell them about the problem, so that you can both work towards a solution and then you can replay the match either on that day or at a later date. If the lag cannot be fixed then ONE WARNING will be given to the lagger.**
*The reason for this is that it is not fun to play a lagger, whether the problem is fixed after replaying the match or not, and if the offender is persistenly lagging without being able to find a PERMANENT FIX, it is incredibly frustrating for all involved. If you cannot fix it, it is not our problem.
**The "lagger" is the person not experiencing the lag whilst the other person is (purposefully or otherwise, it DOES NOT MATTER if it is their fault or not as it effects everybody else), and they will receive the warning. If both people are experiencing the lag then it could be a server issue or both players' NAT being "moderate" or "strict" - for more information on this and how to resolve it, please CLICK HERE.

PROMOTION AND RELEGATION RULES & REGULATIONS:
Three players (NOT TEAMS) will be relegated from the Premier League into the Championship, and three players (NOT TEAMS) will be promoted from the Championship into the Premier League. There will be a new draw at the start of each season to decide who will manage who.
The top two of the Championship will be promoted, with 3rd-6th placed teams entering a playoff. Two legs will be played, with a final at Wembley. Whether this happens automatically when the "playoff" option is enabled within Online Leagues I don't know, but we'll find that out along the way!
