While you're at it. Have a go in our charity fundraising game of Qooty between the SFA Board and the GD Board. Sign-up below. 😊



Hi GD Board! My name is Kennedy Parker, I currently run the Sweet FA Board of Bigfooty where we play a simulated fantasy footy competition with the application Qooty.

Every year on the Sweet FA we hold charity events to help raise money for good causes and this year in coordination with Wosh and your wonderful moderators Gralin, Gough, MrsEddieBetts and RU_ we thought it would a really cool crossover opportunity to hold a charity exhibition game of Qooty here between the SFA Board and the GD Board.

The organisation we will be fundraising for is Sikh Volunteers Australia. Sikh Volunteers Australia is a nonprofit volunteer organization focusing on reducing distress in the community by providing FREE FOOD to disadvantaged families. They have provided free food and drinking water to communities affected by national emergency disasters such as devastating floods, bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic.

More information: Sikh Volunteers Australia Inc.

In 2020 they were recognised by the AHRC for their efforts in providing free meals to people in need during the bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic.

Wosh has set up the fundraising link here:

Sikh Volunteers Australia are a registered nonprofit and donations are typically tax deductible in Australia.

How will this work?

Sign-up, pledge a donation, we'll pop your name into the Qooty simulator. And have a bit of friendly chat in the leadup. Usually to add an element of fun to the event, people often like to pledge donations based on what happens in the game e.g. "I will donate $2 for every disposal I get."

The game itself is expected to be posted on 17th of June, 2023 in this thread some time between 1-4pm (TBC).

Qooty is a football simulation program written by BigFooty's own Mobbenfuhrer, which allows a game of footy to be simulated and generated in text form. Basically, your username is entered into the program, along with 19 team-mates and an opposition of 20, and the program generates a game, with commentary and stats like this:

1 : 0 {C} - Neither ruckman can take advantage of the bounce.
1 : .1 {C} - The bounce favours Hate and he is off and running.

Hi there GD board 🙂 Can’t believe I haven’t spent more time here seeing as you folks have a Lego thread. What have I been doing with my life??

Anyways, thanks for having us and hope you enjoy the qooty match. It’s a lot of fun so don’t be shy getting involved

The song contest thread is also just as exciting as winning a qooty match after the siren
 
Hi all
I’m sure I will recognise a few of you from the GD board , and vice versa , as it was once my home board and I still post here from time to time :)

Also, I have Indian parents and extended Sikh family so this is a great cause that is close to my heart

Thanks for organising this Wosh Kennedy Parker
 
Also, I pledge $5 for every por_please_ya disposal and an extra $10 for every Dingster goal, with a minimum guarantee of $50 as a backup in case my usual dancing partners both have tough days
 
Also what a fantastic cause, I will donate after that other "football league" game is over ;)
I had no idea you followed the Greenland football league so intently por_please_ya

Apologies, I’ll stop distracting you from the action
 
Hello to all on the GD board !! Thanks for having us !! I’ll chip in $50 for a spot on the bench Kennedy Parker !! It’ll also help boost our chances of success if we can minimise my on field time !!!

If I chip the $50 on your behalf, can I play for the Roys next season?

Ah, the SFA! My old stomping ground.

I’ll jump in and donate something on payday on Wednesday.

Throw me down for $2 a possession too.
