You’ll just win the finals comp anyway

I was pretty happy to finish top half in this.

Haha well said. @MTB well done mate, class act.

I should know this, but anyone know the final 3 and Weekly please?

MTB 1231 in round 17 was the highest

Done lads!

MTB, I know you wanted to donate part of it but I wasn't sure how much so have sent the lot to you. I know you are a modest type of bloke, but you deserve every penny you get. $420 ( ) for Overall and $105 for the Weekly.

DK, sorry mate, I hope you haven't lost too much weight waiting for me to transfer it! $210 as the runner up.

Soylent, as per your wishes, have added the $105 to our Heart Foundation donation, deadset legend!

Our Fanatics donation to The Heart Foundation with Soylent's generosity ended up at $315. Will post the receipts in the next few days.


Thankyou all for joining once again. The above breakdown was based on a pool of $1050 with 21 entrants. If I have stuffed up anywhere let me know, as Maths was never my strong point, but I can lift heavy things

Awesome SI, looking forward to next years edition!

Like goats teats.

Is this running again this year?

I asked SI in the main thread but he may have missed it.

I would join again.

I asked SI in the mod thread too, he must have missed that one too. I'll ask again tomorrow if I think of it.

I suppose if it doesn't start, we could always just donate the entry fee to MTB (where we all know it will end up anyway)

Hi all, I just haven't had the time to get this up and running this year. If there is enough committed interest I will look at setting it up for a Round 2 start as would be a shame to not have it this year. So Round 1 scores wouldn't count; but understand if people feel just starting well in Round 1 is too much of an advantage even with scores not being used.

Things are full on again for me next week so if we can get maybe 20 to commit before taking any money then happy to sort it.

Sorry to everyone who has asked in here or the other threads. Have hardly read anything on the Forum this year, and literally got 5 minutes to look at Team Lists this afternoon, which is pretty much the extent of my Fantasy research thus far.

In hindsight I should have sounded out if someone else wanted to run it a week or two ago. In saying that, more than happy to get it off the ground for next week if enough are still interested.

Thanks SI.

Can we leave it open to join until Round 2 but still have Round 1 scores count?

If some suckers want to see there Round 1 score before committing I don’t really care. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

Yeah, didn't think about it that way. So if we started Rd 2 to get enough in but added the Rd 1 score on manually to determine the prizes?

I guess so. The overall leagues dont allow teams to join after the completion of round 1?

When can you join those leagues up until? If it’s the last game Sun, 5 days may be long enough for everyone to commit and then first game lockout of round 2 cutoff to have paid.

Good point, might be only H2H leagues you can start after Round 1. If it's just till Sunday last game though I won't be able to sort it. Not concerned about when payment is made after Round 1. But the League closing is the issue. I think what you are saying is what we did last year or the year before and it worked.

10 or more of us upping to $100 might be another option? Less work for a potentially bigger pool and better odds of claiming a prize. Not sure how everyone else sits with that sort of investment? But I'd easily be happy to go to $200 personally. 10 diehards on that and it's our biggest pool in 4 years and a decent chance of at least getting your money back. Although the $100 and a minimum of 15 players in might be the go all round?

Don’t think we would get many at $100. I was initially thinking the opposite and make it less for more entrants. I just like having something riding on it and dont really care if the total purse is large.

I'm still keen, but doesn't faze me if it doesn't happen. Prefer $50 but $100 doesn't faze me either. Getting the league sorted by round one is the trickiest part probably. I'm happy to create the league, advertise and chase people up, but probably wouldn't be able to figure out the taking money part in time though, perhaps if SI still held the money??

Sounds good to me.

Whoever enters can be removed after a few weeks if they haven’t paid up.
