2022 ELIMINATOR

Hay everyone, the Eliminator is back!

Format is as follows:

If you're in the FOG, you're in the Eliminator (204 entrants, seeded)

R16: qualifiers (top 52 have byes, rest playing off to enter main draw)
R17: nothing
R18: 1st Round (128 entrants)
R19: 2nd Round (64)
R20: 3rd Round (32)
R21: 4th Round (16)
R22: Quarter Finals (8 )
R23: Semi Finals (4)
R24: THE DECIDER (2)

I have built a spreadsheet to manage this tournament while in COVID isolation. It's has INDEX/MATCH formulas and IF statements!

Screenshots with the draw will be in the next post.

Participants don't have to do much but sledging your opponents in this thread will be strongly encouraged. I will try and highlight matchups to spice things up (difficult this week but hopefully easier as the field narrows).

if you don't want to sledge because you're too nice, shitposting here is also welcome e.g. posts about coffee beans, cryptic player nicknames, and so on.

I look forward to taking down this 'and here' character

Awesome - great work RG

I think I'll be here for a good time rather than a long time!

Here's to hoping I can do what I did in 2019 and go on a giant-killing run through the Eliminator. POD Squad v2.0 is locked and loaded!

I made the prominent posters list and you posted excel porn. What a day

Nice work robel!

And JJ, you're in for a world of hurt. I heard your sister started drinking again.

I am filthy about my match up.

I don’t think I have been past Round 1 before so happy to have drawn BYE first up. Will be close but I think I’ll get the chocolates.

Thanks for organising!

Great Job Mate.

You must be new here if you don't know that I am the big dawg around these parts.

MattNZ week one. He got a shout out and everything... I'm in danger

Top work, mate. If I recall correctly, I went terribly in this last year. Hoping I can do a bit better this time, but doubt weighs heavy.

I love this. Great work mate, looking forward to it!!

Amazing!

I believe the JJ stands for Jimmy Jim

Tough R1 matchup! This BYE cunt popping up in plenty of matchups

More teams created than Rabbit

Brilliant mate. Gotta feel for the ugly pricks that couldn’t make it into the Aubbs conference
