Everybody's favourite knockout competition is back.

To quote the late and great competition admin - ossie85, here's how it works:

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.

So, who has what it takes to be World Idol?




Eliminated Teams
R1: New Delhi
R2: Buenos Aires
R3: New York
R4: Cairo  :'(
R5: Tokyo
R6: Seoul
R7: Toronto
R8: Beijing (only just)
R9: Rio De Janeiro
R10: Cape Town
R11: Christchurch
R12: Berlin
R13: Pacific
R14: London
R15: Moscow
R16: PNL
R17: Mexico City
Winner: Dublin

The fun is really who can survive the longest that otherwise shouldn't or if there are any big name casualties early on.

Like Tokyo somehow making the final 7 or something the first time this ran.  :P

I'm betting a team outside Mexico City/Dublin will win this one

It's starting to become a mere formality now, New Delhi are the first team out of World Idol in 2015.

Poor ndt... When I went through their list today, they were very unlucky that some players weren't named this week

Tell me about it... I actually had high hopes this year that our boys would show enough improvement to move out of the bottom 4. Its not off to a great start

Hellopplz

World Idol wasn't made for you guys :P.

But hopefully get a few more playing coming weeks as expected, and ladder improvements can be expected 8).

haha it will be.. one day.

Yeh we just need the boys on the park

Celebrations are probably well and truly underway in Argentina but I'm here to spoil the party... not that they'll care too much with a win under their belt. We say adios to Buenos Aires this week.

Nige

They were top of the ladder last week, now they're clinging on to 8th by percentage. How the mighty have fallen! Sorry to the New York, but their time is this little competition is done and dusted for another year.

Wow, its a harsh comp this one!

I think, besides Dublin, it could be almost anyone eliminated any week from now on
