    Yes... good work on running the comp Trophy

    But losing to a listless dolphin who forgot to captain (C)leary? That's so humble A+

    Sorry for the holdup. We had one person submit a WAG team in the open league as opposed to their FOG team.

    I've had submitted the FOG team on the following grounds:

    1. Entries rules were...


    "Regular posters that I recognise who are not in FOG" was meant to capture people who missed FOG signups or found this community after the season started. It was not designed for people choosing their other teams.

    2. It makes my life 1000% easier to just refer to one league (FOG) for running this comp

    Sorry to the person affected, but that's my verdict.


    With all that boring legal mumbo jumbo out of the way, here are the seedings:
    Seedings image is BIG:

    Seeds 53-76 will play in in R20
    Seeds 1-52 get a pass until R21

    You can probably figure out who you play, but I will post all the brackets tomorrow!

    What happens in the event of a tie? I believe the lowest seed should prevail in this case, right?

    From the sign-up thread
    ELIMINATOR RULES wrote:
    HOW IT RUNS
    Once again I will run by Excel using my part-automated, mostly-manual data entry spreadsheet. I will likely spend an hour every week making screenshots and failing to upload them because it's the wrong file extension, and never learning from my mistakes.But it'll appear seamless to you, the participant.

    * Entries will close no earlier than noon Thursday 4th (before R18 deadline). Maximum 128 entries
    * R18 - seedings determined by overall rank at end of round
    * R19 - week off to talk shit and also to avoid major bye round carnage
    * R20 - R1
    * R21 - R2
    * R22 - R3
    * R23 - R4
    * R24 - QF
    * R25 - SF
    * R26 - FINAL
    * R27 - winner celebrates, also no games to avoid final round carnage

    Ties are settled by previous round highest score, or if it's R1, the highest seed going through.

    If you think anything else needs clarifying, just give me a shout. Better to have a rule before it starts than have to make one up on the fly!

    Happy eliminating!

    Without revisiting the draw, I think you're going to need a 1pt lead

    Well done LB on the win, always looked a tough assignment with your team looking very strong and trades in hand. Great chance to win it all I reckon.

    Well done KamiKamiChameleon

    You won because Haas got injured. It would have been so much better had he just not played the game. I would have received Hands score instead and got through to the next round

    Is that also why you cannot make the top 8 of lowly league 9?

    It is a pandemic and MattNZ is ground zero

    R32 RESULTS - BLUEBAGS BRACKET

    Spoiler:

    Top seed out! Chewie back to Endor with a loss to Bethany_B. Beth will now meet Talfal, who been charging up the ranks (one of 3 Fanatics in the top 50 for the July monthly; gone from 34th at seeding to 13th now in FOG)

    On the other side of the bracket, it will be the battle of the coding wiz kids. It's Goliath v David. mytvbroke is the highest seed left at #8, whereas Standard-issue is the lowest and will be looking to keep the dream alive.

    R32 RESULTS - DIEHARDS BRACKET

    Spoiler:

    The favourites continue to fall with #4 and #5 exiting the eliminator. Nobody topped 1000 but Liverpool Bulldog did put those trades to good use. Whall15, L-Jimmy and manlybeaver are the other winners.

    R32 RESULTS - STEELERS BRACKET

    Spoiler:

    The porpoise was defeated, with Kamikamicameleons set to face Revraiser. Revs hit 1000 on the dot, while code delta scored about 300 less than the previous week.

    Dark Knight was the unlucky loser, both in terms of score (1010) and margin (2). Milchcow got the narrow win and will next take on UKJC, who always seems to go far in the Eliminator.

    R32 RESULTS - RED (dirty & western) BRACKET

    Spoiler:

    easytiger continued the horror run for top seeds by beating wolfking. Next he faces cantbeatwinners - don't let the 55th seed fool you, winners is on a winning run - 17th overall in July, and in from 110th to 52nd in FOG. Also narrowly beating me in Autofill and probably will beat me this week in L1 draft semi.

    And the charge continues with a huge 1013 for B/L, the 6th and last 1000+ score from the 32 eliminator entrants. Now faces Aardvark.

      Current date/time is Tue Sep 17, 2024 5:53 am
