That's a massive start for sure.

You may be interested to know that 8 out of the top 10 from the first bye last year ended up in the final Lord of the Byes top 10

Sorry I will be a little bit slack this week (Queen's Birthday over here), but I should have the results up tomorrow.

Too busy orchestrating my blind side on survivor.

LORD of the BYES - Round 13 Results

Here is a summary of the top 20 players this round - You can of course see the full table in the Fantasy League section at NRL.com (or on the App).

Congratulations to TheWeapon with an impressive 855 points who tops the R13 Lord of the Byes table for the second year running!



Bye rounds are a great opportunity to make some big changes to your rank.
The biggest mover here was Bullbender, up an massive 6,993 spots.

The top 20 movers:




Finally, just some overall stats based on the round averages for players in this comp.
Quality is generally as important as quantity in the bye-rounds.
The average player score across all the entrants was an impressive 45.9 - in fact scores this year were very similar to last years averages despite the general lower averages of season 22.
48/51 Lord of the Byes players managed to improve their rank this week, a third of us managed to more than halve our rank.

A special congratulations to Revraiser who managed an outstanding 55.2 average from his bye round team of 10.

Total points and averages based on number of players:

Thanks to Manu !

Great work. Thank you.

Well, as a LOTB virgin, missing the Top 20 for the Bludgers is not exactly surprising.
Could only manage 12 players in Rd.13, 666 surely must mean something.

FWIW you came in at #22, one spot below the MTB.

I wouldn't get to caught up in placings after the first round of LOTB, there are still 5 important rounds to go and as with all NRL Fantasy - every year is different, every year presents new challenges.

LORD of the BYES - Round 14 Results
================================

All teams managed to field 17 this week, quite a difference on a year ago when less than half were able to.

It was a great week for many fanatics, with 23 out of the 53 teams scoring a 1000 or more, and plenty of rank gains to be had.
Snatchpato made the biggest rank gains this week.

The Top 20 rank improvers this week:

Bullbender continues to climb the ranks and tops the table for the most rank improvement for the second week in a row - gaining over 8,500 places in just two weeks. Keep it going!

The Rank Improvers Leaderboard:

Finally, in Bunter's relative rank improver leaderboard we see the percentage of teams ahead of each team prior to Round 13, that they have managed to overtake.
With huge percentage gains from the 3 top 10 overall players, and 6 in the top 100.

Love your work ET. This must take a bunch of work, it's much appreciated. Will be interesting to see if anyone's willing to throw away the season by using every single trade over the next 3 weeks to try and take down LOTB!

A prestigious title, worthy of throwing away a full overall and H2H season.

Thanks ET for all your efforts mate.

Thanks ET. I thought I was going pretty well, but there are lots of people gunning it. Well done everyone.

Thanks SP.
It does take a fair bit of work each week, but hopefully adds some mid-season value/entertainment to us fantasy tragics that love the challenges that bye planning brings.
I probably wouldn't recommend throwing away a full overall/H2H season for the title - if done well it should be complimentary to overall season aspirations (not so much H2H).

Just for interest;
Pain managed 25 players over the two bye-rounds last year and beat TheWeapon who had the most at 27 players (the average across LOTB was 20.5).
Another entrant had 26 and ended more than 250 points behind Pain - numbers of players are important, but quality makes the difference.

Thank you both as well.
Even after just two rounds I'd say the standard/performance across the LOTB comp is a step up from last year.
It's still realistic for anyone in the top 20 to win it, but the top 4 separated by only 7 points shows how close it is right now.

Well im screwed this week here. Same squad that got me over a 1000 last week is going to battle to get 800. Fuck i love this game

Don’t we all love the game. I won’t be seeing my team in any of the leaderboards after this round is finished, unless it’s for rank drops.

LORD of the BYES - Round 15 Results
================================

The Top 20 this week:

Wolfking topped the weekly with an incredible 1020 points in a surprisingly challenging week for most teams.
Wolfking has now climbed from 656th at the start of LOTB to 35th overall - outstanding!



For the third week in a row we have a new leader in the competition with Pookus McFly now on top of the LORD of the BYES complimenting his 2nd place standing in the overall comp:

The Leaderboard:

We're now halfway through the championship and it's anyone's game with just 7 points separating the top 4.
