There were 4 casualties this week with the injury plagued armadillos being the highest seed to crach out of the tournament. The Metal were unlucky to go down to a strong sands outfit. Top seeds eagles faced a scare in a high scroing afair with the Cobras, just getting through with the euro bonus. The number 2 seed pumas did it slightly easier in a tough battle with the Hawks.

Poor swaggers - almost literally had no chance

What did my team the sons score?

[Purple 77]

Nearly claimed a seeded team in the Warewolves, good game Winchester!

Oh well, maybe next year.

What did my team the sons score?

your asian team knocked out your euro team. At least one was garunteed to get into round 2.

8 British Teams through to the next Round.  Lets bring the cup home to Britain where it belongs, % scaling may count against us in the long run given that none of our teams made the top 5. Looks like we need to score a minimum of 1750 in our leagues to reach the top going by first week.

the top 5 all euro and worlds. You might be in abit of trouble ringo.

the cup might go to Britians neighbour in Dublin though ;)

Is anyone interested in the fact that when Holz does the weighting he does it so his team is the best ranking team of the lot? :o

Suspicious much? I think so!

[Justin Bieber]

I think Euros rig the weighing

I think Euros rig the weighing

its only a 2.9% increase from the worlds and the worlds normally pump out big averages. the top World teams at the moment are faultering abit. The dillos were pumping out 150+ easy when they were at full strength.

If anything the disadvantage to the british and asian as being first year comps they are abit more even. I find comps becomes less even in the trade period and middle of the road team either trade in old guns to lift thier chances or go down the youth path.

Chapman, Boyd, Stevie J, Kornes, Burgoyne. Cross, C. Cornes, Warnock (premo ruck in SC), Sam Gilbert (premo defender without his injury game) all missing from my worlds team last week.

9 players who'd probably all make best XV. It's sickening.

For next year though I reckon we use finishing positions from this year as the qualif1ers with the Top 16 sides from each comp qualifying for the Cup.  Top 4 from each the automatic Top 4 seeds and we use the % weighting from the season to Determine rank within the 16. (Ranking Teams against each other rather than average score).

% weighting was the only option available for this year and the % are calculated well.,  British were disadvantaged by 2 relative high scoring rounds which inflated the average. For those in British will know the rounds where we had teams score in excess of 2000 points.

thing is though ringo if you had those high scoring rounds before, whats to stop that happening again and you guys knocking out a bunch of seeds.

the major issue with your idea is teams can change alot with DPP and trades. Look at the eagles last year they were cripled with injuries. than the post season came, alot of players overcame injruies e.g. lecras. Got some very handy DPP e.g. Gibbs and traded very very hard getting rid of all my depth and youth.

Would have been unseeded could have drawn a big seed and kncoked them out.
