DT elxam Coaches League, fixture and discussion

[ossie85]

Hi all - this a thread for the coaches league (named the elxam league), and all our competitors in 2011.

Sorry, entrants for this league are now CLOSED and was only open to coaches who have posted 1000 times or more.

Well, welcome to round 1!

A kazillion matches to go through, all of Round 1's matches are listed below.

I've also attached the complete League v League fixture here:

The Fixture

This spreadsheet DOES NOT include who each coach plays in there own league. That fixture won't be released until the Dream Team and SuperCoach websites release them, most likely during or at the end of round 1.

How does League v League work? Much like last year. Where a coach from one league, plays a coach from another. The difference being is that instead of 2 leagues, we have 3 in Dream Team and 4 in SuperCoach.

There are now 81 points available, as opposed to last year's 73, due to the fact leagues have increased from 16 to 18. How does point scoring work?

Well, each league gets:

4 points for each win (there are 18 matches, so 18 times 4 = 72 points available)
The highest scoring league on total points gets an extra 4 points
The highest scoring coach gets an extra 4 points
The coach that inflicts the biggest margin gets an extra 4 points
The lowest scoring coach loses 3 points

For a total of 81. The League with the most points wins.

In Dream Team, each league will play twice a round. At the end of Round 19, the league with the most number of wins will win the League cup.

Individually, each team will be ranked as per the normal ladder. There are 54 teams in Dream Team, you play everyone once, for a total of 53 matches. The top 16 will play off in elimination in the finals of each competition.

The first week of the Knock-Out Cup is also this week, and the full fixture for that is also attached in the spreadsheet.

[Colliwobblers]

LOL Nails nice job I fair handed it to you on a platter with those spastic picks of mine  ::)

howard and lynch and broughton and coniglio collectively destroyed me problem now is how to fix it...

Nice Win McCarthy was a good pick so would Brad Ebert have been if I had the balls to pick him instead of just talking him up.

[Nails]

Kennedy, Magner and Bugg helped you though...

Have 2 of them in my squad, both on bench, you had all 3 on the park ::)
