After the success of the ATFA trading cards for season 2015/16, we’ll be doing another set this year with all new designs and, hopefully, even more players. Anybody who plays is welcome to have a card made of themselves.

Last season, if you turned the cards over, you were able to put together a jigsaw puzzle which was of the poster for the Australian Grand Prix. This season, to make them a little different, there will be a small Q&A for each player. Basically, just fill in the form below with your answers and these will be collated onto the back of the card on which you appear.

For the front of the card, I will need the assistance of everyone around the country. I need a photograph of you to go on the front. This photograph can be of you doing anything related to table football that you like. The requirements from this end are that the photo must be high resolution (printing requires a much higher resolution than images on a screen). Any DSLR will take a great photo for it, but most current phones should take photos that are high enough resolution. The key is to use good lighting and to make sure that your face is clear. It’s OK to pose – the photo doesn’t have to be from an actual game. Coming up with interesting angles is also good. Make sure it is in portrait orientation (that’s what all the cards will be). If you are seeing me anytime, I am happy to take your photo for you. The photo needs to have been taken in 2016, to keep it all current.

Once you’ve got the photo, e-mail it me at ajebec@netspace.net.au (don’t send it via facebook – facebook compresses the hell out of photos and stuffs up all the colouring!)

I will need to have both your Q&A answers and your photo by Jan 1 in order to have the cards ready in time for the Australian Grand Prix, which will be when they become available. Last season, the sets cost $15 each. The cost will be similar this season – perhaps slightly higher if we have more players represented, but not significantly higher.
