PWJ Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Round 14 (Final) - Tuesday Nov 3 Race 10 - Flemington R10 1st - 6 Exhilarates W-$7.10 2nd - 17 The Astrologist Q-$16.70 Scr: 1,3,5,14 4 REAPERS (4th) $1566.60 4 points 1 DAYLIGHT (2nd) $905.00 0 points One More Jack - Daylight's hope faded out so The Reapers notched up another win and secured a Finals place. TC and Ray bagged BBs for Daylight in the last where all The Reapers bar Roland found the Godolphin winner with Tom and jack doubling up with BBs. TC was an unlucky MVP for Daylight drawing Man of the Match Tom who scored an impressive $575. The Reapers took bonus points for a team profit and 4-1 margin. 575.60 Tom 368.00 The Crucible 363.00 Jack 257.00 Ray 201.00 Hesi 72.00 John 116.00 Roland 121.00 Ian 311.00 Craig 87.00 Pam 3 BLACKBOOKERS (3rd) $1085.00 2 points 2 SUPERIORS (5th) $967.20 0 points The Blackbookers could have been downed by any one of 3 good chances in the last with runner-up The Astrologist coming closest but they held on with Midnight C bagging a BB and Dino - who was our MVP - also on the McEvoy winner. The Superiors - for whom Sharne was MVP all missed in the last. Have they done enough to hold on to their finals spot (see below). No bonus points were earned. 313.00 Midnight C 120.00 Mardy 71.00 PJ 120.00 Pete 274.00 Richie 221.00 Punter Pete 320.00 Dino 228.00 Steve P 106.00 Maurice 278.20 Sharne 3 MAXISQUILLIONS* (8th) $1000.60 2 (x 2 Joker Play) = 4 points 2 NO EYE DEER* (1st) $938.00 0 (x 2 Joker play) = 0 points The Astrologist nearly pulled it off for No Eye Deer in the last although Gordy (quinella), Ashoka and Stevie all found the winner anyway as did Maxis Max and Graeme (each with BBs) as well as Heather. Captain Max was a very impressive Man of the Match while Stevie pipped Ashoka for NED MVP honours. No bonus points were earned. 41.00 Rob 374.00 Stevie N 89.60 Georgy Boy 0.00 Jen 594.00 Max 104.40 Gordy 93.00 Heather 348.00 Ashoka 264.00 Graeme 111.60 Porky 3 PUMPED (7th) $852.60 2 points 2 TOO FAST* (6th) $746.20 0 (x 2 Joker play) = 0 points The Battle of the Desperates had a shock conclusion when BBs for Rees and Ziggy enabled them to get up and defeat their respective opponents Geoff and Rex to secure a Pumped win albeit a hollow one as it still wasn't enough to get them into the Finals. Too Fast must be gutted, as the Blackbookers had obliged them by beating the Superiors and all they needed to do was hang on and win and a Finals place was theirs. Bad luck guys. Robert who also bagged a BB in the last was Man of the Match for Too Fast while Blind Squirrel - another BB bagger in race 10 - was Pumped MVP. No bonus points were earned. 127.00 Moose 321.60 Robert 280.00 Blind Squirrel 0.00 Howie 192.00 Ziggy 63.00 Rex 111.60 Gary 272.00 Gee 142.00 Rees 89.60 Geoff * Joker play FINAL TABLE 1st 30 No Eye Deer $16,770.80 3rd 30 Blackbookers $15,548.00 2nd 30 Daylight $15,403.60 ----assured of a Finals Berth above this line...... 4th 27 Reapers $14,163.40 5th 21 Superiors $16,410.60 ------ Finals Qual Mark------------ 6th 21 Maxisquillions $15,482.60 7th 20 Pumped $13,376.80 8th 19 Too Fast $16,175.80 No Eye Deer may have lost and but their aggregate was enough to nail down the Minor Premiership from The Blackbookers who took 2nd spot off Daylight today with a win. The Reapers and Superiors held on to 4th and 5th and will be the remaining Finalists although in the latter's case it was only decided by aggregate from the unlucky Maxisquillions. Too Fast's last race demise saw them finish last on the table when they were looking at 5th with just one race remaining. Thanks to Pumped (who went out with a win anyway), The Maxis and Too Fast for your participation and contributions. I am sure you will follow the Finals closely. No Eye Deer get a rest but the other 4 Finalists are back in action this Thursday. Don't forget ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 As we 'Too Fast' now bow out of this fine competition, all that remains is for us is to firstly congratulate the 5 very worthy team finalists on making the 'big round' and wishing each team all the very best in your endeavours to take out 1st place. I'm sure there will be some close and enthralling match-ups to come. And secondly and most importantly we Too Fast thank PJ for this wonderful entertainment that he puts on for us each and every week. A peerless performance scoring and commentating into the bargain. Many thanks, PJ. From a personal point-of-view I'd like to thank my accomplished team-mates Sir Rex, Robert, Geoff and Gee, whose combined fine performances saw a grand team aggregate of $16,175 and as PJ said, only one race away from a place in the playoffs. Unfortunately for the team my own individual performance was woefully inadequate this time around, there's no way to sugar-coat it, and ultimately that cost us going further in this comp. But onwards and upwards, a PJ Super Comp is addictive entertainment and I'll be back next time around for sure. Hopefully with a better contribution to make. Until then....Too Fast out. 🙂 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globederby19 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Bugger, had given up and gone out to celebrate my grandsons 20th. YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSS. Oh sorry Howie that was rather disingenuous of me. Great match To Fast, but a dead rubber in the end for both of us. A big thankyou to my team, Blind Squirrel, Gary, Moose, and my bro in law Steve , we promised so much early on but it dried up for us . But that finish will get me back for the nxt comp. Thankyou to all the other participants on here, and well done those in the Finals, and the friendly banter which makes the whole thing so enjoyable. Lastly, a hearty thanks to PJ once again for a superb competition. Well done fella. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Nice win again today Reapers, thanks for the match, but nice to beat you John A big task for the 4th and 5th placegetters, but we'll give it a nudge in true scything spirit. Thanks again PJ for the gargantuan effort you put in, appreciated by all Round Match Name Team 1 Team 2 1 A Elimination Final Rank 4 v Rank 5 B Qualifying Final Rank 2 v Rank 3 2 C 1st Semi Final Loser B v Winner A D 2nd Semi Final Rank 1 v Winner B 3 E Preliminary Final Loser D v Winner C 4 F Grand Final Winner D v Winner E This is considered a good playoff system, as while it allows fifth place to take part, it is incredibly difficult for fourth and them to be crowned champions as they must beat every other team at some point. If all matches have the same odds to win, then Seed 1 has 37.5% to be champion; Seed 2 and 3 have 25% to be champion; Seed 4 and 5 have 6.25% Seed 1 has two chances to reach the final, and only needs to win 1 match to clinch it. It is only eliminated before the final if loses against both finalists, and doesn´t win any match Seed 2 and 3 need to win 2 out of 3 matches to reach the final (they are like in a best-of-3 semi-final, but with different opponents in any round) Seed 4 and 5 need to win all other 4 opponents without loss to be crowned. Any loss means its elimination 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thanks to all Maxis' opponents for the entertainment throughout the winter and spring. Invariably enthralling, whatever the result. From cellar dwellers less than a fortnite ago to missing the finals by a hairlip! and on a 4-game winning streak! We'd have been Dangerous!! The beautiful thing is that over 14 weeks, the swings and roundabouts of Lady Luck tend to even out - we had our chances, Maxis. Just had a tad too much to do in the last match! On behalf of we five Squillionaires, hearty Congrats to all qualifiers, and a squillion thanks to the maestro who makes it all happen for us, PJ. Well done, sir! Finally, a special THANKS from me to Graeme, Heather, Rob and Georgy Boy. Fab team-mates, always reliable, always competitive, always up with the play, gracious and sporting - win, lose or draw. cap'n Max is delighted and honoured to have been on your side through two tremendous Super Duper Comps in 2020. Hopefully we can do it all again soon. MM 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
