[GoLions]

I'll cop the 7 from Cutler in Champs :'(

[iZander]

I'll cop the 7 from Cutler in Champs :'(

I thought champs was done by whatever rule the comp they are from has? And thus would be subbed off?

Nah, don't think so :(

[PowerBug]

Group Stage 2 Notes
- There are some names that can be very confusing (Adams, Williams, Martin, Kennedy, Reid, Lynch and there's probably others) so especially in those cases if teams could name the full names (And maybe even clubs in the Lynch and Reid cases!)
- When making changes, it'd be great if the changes could be highlighted, whether it be a different colour or the changes noted below. Most of you do this which is great, it just makes my life easier so I know what to look for.
- Everyone except JB (x2) and tbag named sides, seeing as it's the second time it's happened for those guys I think I'll look at replacement sides for the final 4 rounds. They both got a PM during the week as a reminder and neither acknowledged it so obviously both are too ignorant and don't care. They'll be replaced and the managers notified soon.
- nrich, who the hell is Josh Parker?! :P (Will assume Luke Parker haha) (You also didn't name Utilities, E1 and E2 will sub on)
- RD, with your first submission on Friday and Hurn having already played, you won't get his score. Emergency will come on.
- Read:

- Teams are to name a C, VC and EVC if they wish. WXV, EXV, BXV get Captain x2, AXV also get VC x1.5.

Dublin named Co-Captains. As such they will get no double points from any player this round.
- In saying that though, why AXV has a 1.5 VC bonus is weird and I think I'll get rid of that for next year (and obviously adjust the multiplier up).
- I liked Zip's idea about forfeiting the emergency line if you name more emergencies, as opposed to just forfeiting the round. Everyone has been good so far so hopefully it's a non issue.


Alright, time to get some results I reckon...
If anything in the results tab doesn't make sense or add up, just let me know and I'll post the full player by player scores to try and clarify things.

Damn, I did my own quick calc the other day and though I'd gotten over the Bashers :(

[PowerBug]

Damn, I did my own quick calc the other day and though I'd gotten over the Bashers :(

It's a 1.01 multiplier for Euros. I think I initially had 1.00 written down but 1.01 was what felt right to me looking at everything. So if you used 1.00 then you'd have more points :-\


There it is for reference :)
