The coaches who just failed in their mission to make the Top 16 were...
17. Grazz 40438 17
18. BoredSaint 21
19. Samm79 19
20. GM 16
21. Gigantor 20
22. Jay 23

With the top 16 is finalised, here's the seeded draw for the first week.
1. Ricochet v 16. fasttrack13
2. PowerBug v 15. korza
3. LaHug v 14. JROO8
4. ando_10 v 13. RaisyDaisy
5. MC v 12. Capper
6. _wato v 11. Spite
7. kilbluff1985v 10. enzedder
8. Vinny v 9. shaker

These coaches will play off in sudden death finals for the title of Top16 Premier.
The above seeded draw for this week shows a combined total of 17.... next week if the seeds win they'll add to 9...so if you're smart enough you can potentially see next week's match ups. ;)

The premier of the SC Elxam Champs League is recorded on the honour board as the Champions Trophy winner.
The top 8 in Elxam Champs has been decided... one of these coaches will be the Champions Trophy winner and all of them have now qualified for next year's Champions League.

The Minor premier title is battled out by those who fail to make the 8 in the Elxam Champs League, placed 9th -16th.
These coaches are vying for a qualifying spot through winning the Loser's Cup....AaronKirk, BoredSaint, MC, enzedder, Holz, crowls, Rusty00 and j959.

That leaves 17th and 18th placed coaches, dmac07 (3rd year in Champions League (2015, 2016, 2017)
Other highlights: 2015 Most Valuable Player, 2014 League Premier, 2015 All-Elxam League, 2016 All-Elxam League, 2015 State of Origin Winner (Vic Rivals), 2016 State of Origin winner (Vic Country) ) and BigMac (2nd year in Champions League (2016, 2017)
2015 m0nty medal, 2015 All-Elxam League, 2016 All-Elxam League, 2015 Best First Year Player, 2016 Champions Minor Premier).
For them their Elxam Champions campaign looks to have come to an end.
On behalf of all Elxam coaches I'd like to thank both dmac07 and BigMac for their competition and wish them all the best for 2018...where hopefully they can charge again and look to qualify for Champions in 2019.

The Points Premier title winner will be the coach who scores more points overall in the Elxam group. Rico has a hand on this prize at the moment but PB and LaHug will doing all they can to overtake him in the final weeks of the year.
For a list of winners in previous years check out the Grand Stage board and Honours thread.

Elxam Challengers League 2018
To be determined by Total Points placings after the Champions League spots have been filled.
If coaches aren't able to commit or simply don't want to then their place will be forfeited to the next highest qualifier on Total Points. The premier of this league will automatically qualify for the Champions League as has been the case in the past when additional leagues have been run in Elxam. Should their be sufficient interest then a third league could operate but we'll have to see how things shape up.

Gigantor · July 30, 2017, 11:28:42 PM

Phew! Managed to go 4-1 in the last 5 rounds to sneak in to the top 8 :P
Crazy close, only percentage separating 4th to 10th

Also what happened to Korza? Was flying early on but only had 19 playing this week for a 1779 :o

PowerBug · July 30, 2017, 11:32:39 PM

So if I hang on to a top 4 finish in Total Points, or I win against KORZA and then kb or enzedder, then I qualify for the Champions League in 2018.

Watch me end 5th and lose in the quarter finals, add that to my KO Cup loss and it'll be the ultimate choke job ;D

Well done mate on locking your 2018 spot in. Ladder placings were tight!
Korza's week was a mare of epic proportions... plummeted down the rankings and nearly missed top 16.

Don't hold your breath on that QF ;D enzedder is looking at that prize... none of this taking one week at a time rubbish. KB is screwed this week, not that he'll mind too much as he has already qualified through the top 8 in Champions league. Hope he tanks :D

I think you'll be fine, KB qualified last year after finishing 12th on points!

PowerBug · July 31, 2017, 12:20:15 AM

With the way my team is positioned, it would really take a massive effort for me to not finish well haha so I better qualify :P And yeah with some guys qualifying twice I expect even with a drop off it should be fine :)

Did KORZA run out of trades? I'm not in any leagues with him but those that are will be able to see whether he changed his squad from last week to this week.

Guilty party here, although I've had my fair share of average luck in Elxam over the years.. doesn't help your feeling of injustice though...

MC · August 02, 2017, 11:04:26 AM

Haha, I hope I can sneak my way in by winning the loser's cup! Haven't been out of the champ's league since I got in a few years ago, don't want to start now!

Gigantor · August 06, 2017, 10:29:25 PM

Into the top 16 one week too late ::)

PowerBug · August 06, 2017, 10:49:38 PM

Oh come on "BombersRule" fell 10 points short of the weekly highest this season. Someone take that thing of Jay please >:(

Other highlights: 2013 Fantasy Overall Champion, 2013 Minor Premier, 2014 Points Premier, 2013 Points Premier, 2013 Champions Minor Premier, 2012 League Cup Winner, 2013 State of Origin Winner (All-Stars), 2016 All-Elxam League, 2014 All-Elxam League, 2013 All-Elxam League, 2012 All-Elxam League, 2013 MVP, 2013 m0nty Medal

On behalf of all Elxam participants I wish them all the best going forward. It shouldn't be too long before both are back in Champions league again... both are true Champs.

Last throw of the dice for 2017. Last two trades were Howe/Gawn in for Harbrow/Nank.
Moved from 9 th to 8th in money league in time for finals. Still in with a chance in ML. Otherwise my worst season ever for SC.
Billings/Steele stepped up at the right time....

"Oh when the Saints..."
Good trades mate. I decided to hold but at one point did Witts to Gawn before reversing. Would've scored 2517 with Buddy Friday loopholed and Gawn in my team which would have been the plan... you still would've pipped me by a point. ;)
May have to bring in Gawn this week anyway with Grundy and Witts.
