2018 FANFOOTY DREAMTEAM ELXAM LEAGUES

[Nige]

2018 marks the 8th year of the elxam comp!
On Father's Day 2010, fanfooty user elxam (the username is his name Max Le in reverse) tragically passed away....he was a father. He was fantastic person and contributor to the site and is still missed. This competition is named in his honour and has seen many of FF's finest coaches vying for the various honours up for grabs over a number of years.
Full honour board:
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,108155.0.html

If you want to be involved in this comp, you must have coach status on FF by having posted a 1000 times or more in counted sections (Dream Team, SuperCoach, AFL boards). That's basically anyone who can see the coaches section of the forum, plus those coaches who have deactivated their accounts, but once were coaches. Participants are asked to visit the "2018 DT elxam expressions of interest" thread in the Elxam/Coaches part of Fan Footy :)  Coaches are asked to identify their team name when they join by way of making a post.....Then you will be added to list and asked to join the Elxam group once DT opens.

The Elxam Group is open and the code can be located here. Please identify yourself as having joined either here or in that thread please.

How's it work?

Each coach enters into the Elxam Group. The top 16 ranked coaches based on overall points with the last 4 rounds of the year to go will play off in elimination finals to determine who is the Elxam Winner for the year.

Additionally there is also a Knock-Out Cup Competition, a State-of-Origin competition, the m0nty medal and a Champions League.

What is the Champions League?

The Elxam Champions League is filled with the most successful coaches from last year, and they play for the Champions Trophy.

How do I make the Champions League?

To qualify for the 2019 champions League, you need to do one of these things:
- Finish in the top 8 of the 2018 Champions League.
- Finish 9th in the 2018 Champions League (post finals)
- Make the Final 4 in the Overall Competition (Elxam group)...qualify Top 16 in the group then win two Head to Head matches.
- Be the Knock-Out Cup Champion (Elxam group)... Sudden Death Head to Head fixture.
- Win the premiership in the 2018 Elxam Challengers league which returns this year.
- Remaining spots filled based on where you finished on the points ladder in the Elxam Group at the end of the 2018 season

Fantasy Championship
Many coaches play AFL Fantasy, Dream Team and SuperCoach. This competition basically adds up your scores for the years to see who in the elxam league has scored the most points.

Elxam Challengers League 2018
Determined by 2017 Total Points placings after the Champions League spots were 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.

COACHES WHO NOMINATED BUT ARE STILL TO JOIN THE ELXAM GROUP LEAGUE FOR 2018

1. korza


Another PM has been sent to those above with the group code.

[Mr.Craig]

What is going on with Challengers? 11/18??

If people can't get their shower together I'd rather see the league cancelled than have a bunch of randos being added by VS.

Agreed

Agreed

Yeah its kind of difficult to make two leagues of 18 when we only have 31 people in Elxam so far!

[upthemaidens]

If coaches in Champions have a spare league spot, maybe they could double up and fill challengers.
