If Jelwood is out then so am I, donut incoming :( Scooter as m9 cover not quite working as intended...

[Ringo]

Despite currently being 6th highest scorer look like bowing out,  121 points a bit much to make up.  Unfortunately up against highest score but thems the breaks.

[LordSneeze]

After returning to some sense of normality last week with scores pushing back over the 2k mark and in quite a few peoples situation over the 2300 mark the community the feeling of dread is slowly starting to subside. However with trades starting to dwindle and injuries and niggles starting to mount, we are moving into the phase of the season where our recent prudential or exuberant trade spending will either positively set you apart from your rivals or pull you down into the depth of despair. Personally I am already there after last week’s excessive alcoholic consumption.

Round 12 Results
Division 1



In the Head to Head matches, Tiger of Old was too strong for Corkascrew in an important matchup. Bored Saints put his new Title to good use to go in the BINGO with SCHILLACI by 4 points.

The Leaderboards

With the return to normal scoring it wasn’t a surprise to see some massive scores come out of the wood works. Bluebaggers decided that there was no week better than this to make his move, pumping out a 2488 which was good for rank 50 overall for the week and 110 points higher than the next best across all leagues. Coming into second was Lenneth with a strong 2378 taking home the 15 points, while Spinach swaggered his way into 3rd spot and the 10 point haul.
   


And we now have a new FF Medal Leader with BlueBaggers taking over the mantle with his huge score moving from 3rd to 1st. There was almost no other movement for the week with several dozen teams well within striking distance if they are able to string several weeks of really good scoring in a row. We now only have 3 teams who have yet to register a point, Bored Saints, Brainpharts & The Sloane Ranger.   



In the overall points we have had some big movement, While Stubbsy’s Heoroes was able to hold the lead the chasing pack has closed right up. Mcbasketball has jumped from 4th to 2nd, swapping places with Terrifying Glue who has been slowly sliding down the leaderboard. The Big movers through were MC’S Mix jumping from 9th to 5th and Bluebaggers from 16th to 6th. With only 400 points separating 1st and 10th further movement can only be expected from here on out.



Good luck and LS Out

Its possible to win $67,000 & 150 Rep for each member if you win every matchup. Totalling $201k and 450 rep for the team as a whole. Rep at the moment is the main advantage of this. Currently only 5 players have over 150 in total.

OK cool, so can 2 players pay $25k each then to guarantee they are on the same team or it must be one person paying $50k?

[LordSneeze]

MC’s Mix was the only team who was able to turn around the deficit after the first leg of the ties. There was some big casualties with Terrifying Glue, Engineticians, Bull Dust & Bics Best all falling to lower ranked opponents.

Unlucky Loser of Round 2 - Lenneth after losing with 4602 points

Only the 1 at this stage. Splitting the cost will mean that it would be too easy to get the cost or majority of the cost back. While the gains should be from the other aspects, Rep, Titles, HoF etc.

Looks like we have a lot of unique players LS, should be an interesting match up.
How's your bench looking? I'm not in any leagues with you so I can't sneak a look haha  :P

Im full prem with Strong bench rookie & loophole coverage, but very unique and yet to have the entire team click in one week. Should be a good matchup if the last 2 weeks are anything to go by.
