***Official Game Thread By-Laws***
The following by-laws have been duly ratified by the appropriate authorities and are subject to change.


1. To qualify as an "Official Game Thread," one must include three asterisks immediately preceding the word "Official," AND immediately following the words "Game Thread."

E.g. ***Official...Game Thread***

2. An ***Official Game Thread*** MUST include the appropriate Football/Basketball "Post Icon" (located under "Thread Subject" while creating a thread)

3. An ***Official Game Thread*** for a regular season game may be created 48 hours on the Monday ¹ prior to the start of a game. If the game is a Tournament/Championship/Bowl Game, it may be created 96 hours prior to the start of a game. ²
*Basketball games will be included in the "AAC Basketball Games" Thread unless deemed worthy for a stand alone ***Official Game Thread***.

4. The Home (AAC) team has the obligation of providing the ***Official Game Thread***. If this obligation is not met by midnight (ET) of the game day, it may be deferred to the Away (AAC) team. During tournament games, the higher seeded team will be considered Home. If a representative of either team does not present a game thread at least six hours prior to the start of a game, the ***Official Game Thread*** may be created by any American Athletic Conference poster. If a non-AAC poster creates an ***Official Game Thread*** they will be sacked, and there will be much rejoicing. If that non-AAC poster is fanhood, then those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked will be sacked. Non-AAC game threads are subject to removal/relocation to the appropriate forum unless approved by a Moderator.
*MemphisTigerFreak reserves the right to create all game threads where the University of Memphis/Tigers Athletics is included.

5. One MUST include the following in the OP:
• Date of game (may exclude if day of)
• Time of game
• Location
• Participating teams
• Television Channel/Streaming Link

6. One MAY include the following in the OP:
• Team record/ranking
• Radio
• Game Day Article link(s)
• Series record
• Coaches record
• All-time team home record
• All-time team record

7. If Rules 1 thru 6 are not followed for an ***Official Game Thread***, TigersCane SHALL be reinstated and will give C0|db|00ded a run for his money at most <insert preferred adjective here> AAC poster.

His account isn't showing as banned. But he hasn't logged in since July. I just figured he was hibernating with shere.

These need some more work, but for the purposes of game week there have been two amendments.

¹: Amended 2022/08/30. Sec 3. Changed "48 hours" to "on the Monday".
²: Amended 2022/08/30. Sec 3. Deleted "If the game is a Tournament/Championship/Bowl Game, it may be created 96 hours prior to the start of a game."


Football is here folks.

RE: ***Official Game Thread By-Laws***
The amendment to §3 granting additional time for ***Official Game Thread*** creation was a good move. It has been very popular and allows more time for banter and good-natured smack talk between the two fanbases and others.

It should be noted that frequently the home team is not taking advantage of this new provision.

Therefore, in keeping with the spirit of the §3 amendment, to change the thread creation date from 48 hours to as much as 5 days before game day, I propose the following amendment to §4:

4. The Home (AAC) team has the obligation of providing the ***Official Game Thread***. If this obligation is not met by midnight (ET) of the 48 hours prior to game day, it may be deferred to the Away (AAC) team.

Which time zone are we talking about? Or does the time zone defer to the host team? Just curious.

Btw, I find it interesting that none of the moderators have come up with any of this or even commented on it.

1) I'm new to this forum since we just joined the conference, and I'm doing my diligence to learn about how things are done here.

2) This thread started in 2018, so it's actually 5 years old. It was only amended a year ago, which tells me that as we near the next football season, the guidelines written here still apply unless otherwise noted.

3) Thanks for not answering my question. Maybe you just don't know the answer though since you apparently didn't play a part in creating these by-laws to begin with.
