Title: World Idol
Post by: ossie85 on February 08, 2013, 06:43:48 PM
A simple game...

The lowest scoring team is eliminated each week, until we have a winner!

You can get immunity from elimination if you had the highest score the week before (up until round 10) - in which case the 2nd lowest scoring team is eliminated.

Eliminated Teams
R1: New Delhi Tigers
R2: Beijing Thunder
R3: Wellington Warriors
R4: Pacific Islanders
R5: Cairo Sands
R6: Berlin Brewers
R7: PNL Reindeers
R8: New York Revolution
R9: Seoul Magpies
R10: London Royals
R11: Cape Town Cobras
R12: Buenos Aires Armadillos
R13: Tokyo Samurai
R14: Moscow Spetsnaz
R15: Toronto Wolves
R16: Sao Paulo Pumas
R17: Dublin Destroyers
Winner: Mexico City Suns

should be something interesting each week to add to the comp. Maybee top scoring team from the week before gets immunity?

Yea would be fun and Holzs' suggestion is also good

Title: Re: World Idol
Post by: Ringo on February 08, 2013, 07:12:20 PM
Like it as a little bit of extra fun.

Holz's rule should be included  but only to say round 10 as after that it will be legitmate for Top team to fall.

What the majority say. If it doesn't mean much more work, sounds like a good idea :). It is more of an additional thing to have, don't make it a necessity if it gets too much.
Title: Re: World Idol
Post by: CrowsFan on February 12, 2013, 01:52:02 AM
Shouldn't really be all that hard HP. Just have a list of the 18 teams then each week whoever scores least gets deleted from the list. I could probably do it in about 2 minutes each week, but this is ossie so it will be done in 5 seconds ;)

Sao Paulo gets a free pass next round, unlikely they'll need it!

Good stuff Oss. Well done Pumas, would have to be premiership favourites?

And the Islanders survive for another round :D
Title: Re: World Idol
Post by: Nails on April 01, 2013, 11:03:15 PM
anti-climactic round tbh.

How are Pumas favourite Jay? We had 5 of our best XV out and still only scored 4 less than the Pumas :o (not aware of any pumas injuries, they might have lots)

Cobras, Suns, Pumas are the rightful top 3 favourites imo. You are around the mark but not on those three teams' level.

Have to disagree there. Armadillos improved their list quite a bit (fr the short term) over the summer. Cape Town still has some big holes around the ground and reckon it will get the better of them this year.

Suns, Pumas, Armadillos top 3 with Cobras a step behind and Tokyo not far off the mark either.
Pumas I'd have to say in the best position by far beyond the next two seasons though...

*Just my opinion...
Title: Re: World Idol
Post by: Nails on April 01, 2013, 11:18:53 PM
Scored nearly as high as Pumas with some big outs.

Just wait until we have our best XV back together (if ever). With the likes of Matty Boyd, Stevie J, Heath Scotland, Brent Harvey and 1-2 others to return.

We'll be a force to be reckoned with.
Title: Re: World Idol
Post by: kilbluff1985 on April 01, 2013, 11:26:22 PM

Title: Re: World Idol
Post by: Maca24 on April 03, 2013, 04:52:12 PM
Its only been one round, so I'd say it's unfair to separate Suns, Armadillos and Pumas.
Title: Re: World Idol

I'm happy with the underdog tag then! Think I'm still level with these teams.

Yeah don't know why people don't rate you MC. You have what is easily the strongest mid group going around and that is where the majority of points come from.

How is

Trent Cotchin
Jobe Watson
Josh P. Kennedy
Ryan O'Keefe
Adam Cooney
Edward Curnow
Karmichael Hunt

EASILY better than

Swan
Boyd
Barlow < all seen what we can do this year.
Carrazzo 103 average without his 3 point injury sub game
Cross 102 average without his subbing
K Cornes
J. McKenzie

I'd say it's pretty close tbh.
Title: Re: World Idol
Post by: My Chumps on April 05, 2013, 07:02:06 PM
Cotch = Swan
Watson > Boyd
JPK > Barlow
O'Keefe > Carrazzo
Cooney = Cross considering Cooney at full fitness this year.

My midfield is my weakness, but in every other department I believe I am in the Top 2. Forwards, Backs and Rucks are solid.

Maybe Spettyz, Pumas, Suns and Dillos are HGA pretenders

5 of our last 6 away

Last 5 games all away. #ossiehatesthetopteams #triedtomakeuspeakearly

Our matches:

Rd 12 - New Delhi (15th) - Us Home
Rd 13 - Wellington (16th) - Away
Rd 14 - Mexico City (2nd) - Away ( :( y we waste a home game on New Delhi and get stuck away here)
Rd 15 - Seoul (10th) - Away
Rd 16 - Tokyo (13th) - Away
Rd 17 - New York (11th) - Away

Could our pretty high percentage shoot up with these matches? Next two rounds you'd think we have in the bag. Only 1 top 8 team left over our final 6...

Sorry Sid, I did the fixture in 2012 and this is just the reverse of that. (Moved some of the rounds though based on your and c4 draft, but if you were away to a team last year, you were home to that team this year, and vice versa

You're actually in the best form of the final 4 teams rb! Average score from the last 3 rounds sees the teams ordered like this...

Toronto - 140.33
Dublin - 140.00
Sao Paulo - 138.67
Mexico City - 138.67

Not a great formline for what should be the top 4 scoring teams at all really...would hope for 140+ comfortably.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make is those scores are greatly boosted by back to back 300's from Pendles, the rest of the team has been a little ordinary and we need to stop relying on Pendles to get us a good/decent score. He's only 1 man!

Suns - 1,141/10, Adcock, Ebert, Merrett, Addison, Maric to play
Pumas - 1,091/11, Hartlett, Houli, Masten, Minson to play
Desttroyers - 1,247/11, Rance, Boak, Redden, Gray, + HGA (currently 57) to play

Looks like it's going to be between the Suns and Destroyers next week to see who is the World Idol!
