For those of you wondering what the hell this is; it's a fantasy game based on us, the Fantasy Fanatics. You pick a team of Fanatics (one from each of our top 12 ranked leagues plus a wildcard selection) and they score points for you based on their performance in NRL Fantasy. The entrant with the highest overall score at the end of the season wins the prize*
Rules:
1) Entry is open to all registered users
2) You must select one fanatic from each ranked league (i.e. one from League 1, one from League 2, etc.)
3) You must also choose one "wildcard selection" from anywhere in the Fanatics Overall Group (FOG.) This selection cannot be someone you have already selected
4) You have to make a selection from each league up to and including League 12, plus your wildcard, so there will be thirteen selections overall.
5) You can select your own team
6) The following fanatics from the indicated league cannot be selected:
User Name | League |
Random Sil | League 5 |
No Worries | League 7 |
Mulvy | League 9 |
standard-issue | League 11 |
Filthridden | League 12 |
They can be selected in the highest league they appear in (eg. Mulvy cannot be selected in League 9 but can be selected in League 3 or as your wildcard)
7) Transfers: There will be two transfers allowed this year and two windows where they can be used. At the completion of Round 8 you can use one of your transfers. If the transfer is not used by the first lockout (Thursday night) of Round 9 you will lose that transfer. At the completion of Round 16 you can use your other transfer. If this transfer is not used by the first lockout (Thursday night) of Round 17 you will lose that transfer.
Scoring:
1) For every round the fanatics in each league will be ranked against each other based on their weekly score. The highest scorer in each league will receive 16 points, the second highest scorer will receive 15 points, and so on until we reach the lowest scorer who will receive 1 point.
Using Leagues 1 and 2 from Round 1 last year as an example:
League 1 User Name | Round 1 Score | Ranked Score | League 2 User Name | Round 1 Score | Ranked Score | |
My TV Broke | 935 | 16 | Eaglestar | 927 | 16 | |
Rhinoceroo | 907 | 15 | Cantbeatwinners | 926 | 15 | |
WT2K | 907 | 15 | Fraser | 923 | 14 | |
Trajan | 903 | 13 | Mulvy | 912 | 13 | |
Honey Badger | 899 | 12 | filthridden | 909 | 12 | |
Reklaw | 899 | 12 | bullbender | 898 | 11 | |
Danseels1985 | 895 | 10 | Hamstar101 | 896 | 11 | |
Al | 892 | 9 | Bigcat | 895 | 9 | |
Camo123 | 889 | 8 | Bethany B | 894 | 8 | |
Neillo | 878 | 7 | Chucky | 894 | 8 | |
Big Kev | 868 | 6 | Aardvark | 886 | 6 | |
Verbal Kint | 868 | 6 | GreenMachine | 865 | 5 | |
Boozecluez | 862 | 4 | Awanamafia | 847 | 4 | |
Pookus McFly | 849 | 3 | multiple.scoregasms | 844 | 3 | |
ando | 840 | 2 | Shanbon | 817 | 2 | |
Enchanted Glossy Flamingo | 837 | 1 | Mchomie | 800 | 1 |
2) The sum of the ranked scores for each of your selections will comprise your weekly total score
3) Obviously, the sum of each entrants weekly score will result in their final score and determine our winner
4) If at the end of the season people finish on the same score the tie will be broken by your overall ranking in the FOG (someone not in the FOG automatically loses to someone who is in the FOG.)
Housekeeping:
1) I will post two tables of results at the completion of each Round. The first will be the ranked scores for each league in the FOG and the second will contain the weekly results for each entrant. So that's a shit-load of fugly tables
2) If anyone out there does not wish to have people selecting their team in this competition, please PM me and I will add you to the "banned from selection" list in Rule 6
3) Entries should be PM'd to me rather than posted in this thread. You don't want people pinching your carefully considered selections
4) Format for entries:
