Autumn Super Comp Draft 8.00pm NZ time (6.00pm Oz) Tuesday March 9

We have enough players for 7 teams 

How the draft will work -

Each Captain will have 90 secs to submit a draft pick (if they have not already submitted an email to me containing their draft order). Submit your draft order to me as a PM if you don't want to participate in the Live Draft

If you don't pick and post in 90 seconds the next Captain will be invited and then the option will return to you once and once only once the next Captain has taken their turn. If you fail to select a 2nd time I will randomly draw a player from the Draft Pool for your team.

Here's a heads-up on how the "Bye" team will compete.

Each week there will be a team having their bye week, however it will not be a week off. Picks will need to be submitted as usual. The Captain of the "bye team" can choose which of the other 3 matches they choose for their team to compete in. e.g.

 

Seagulls vs Numptys

Batbums vs Wombats

Cockys v Cobbers

Ratbags - bye

 

So the Ratbag's skipper has to choose one of the 3 matches above in which they would like their side to compete.

There are no head-to-heads for the 'bye" team. They are simply pitting their aggregate against that of the other two sides.

If they beat one of the other teams' aggregate scores, they score one point. If they beat the aggregate of both teams they score two points. They are also eligible for a bonus point for a team profit. So the maximum they can score is 3 points. They can also choose to use a Joker in their Bye week if they choose. This should add some interest to the comp. Captains can canvass their team or go alone with their choice of clash. The Captain of the Bye team has until Midnight on Friday to announce who their opponents will be.

What the flock is a numpty? A camel with no sense of feeling? Whatever it is, Max reckons it comes from the Land of the Bouncing Kangaroo and the Blind Platypus. Therefore it will either bite, sting, poison and/or irritate you to Death if you let it. Avoid the Numptys, peeple.

MM

PS: The Batbums don't eve bear thinkin' about... butt whatever you do, don't let 'em get behind you!

The Oxford English Dictionary has launched a search to find the first recorded use in English of the word 'numpty', which means a foolish or stupid person. Since the mid-1980s, numpty has been used as a mild term of abuse in Britain

Howie wrote this on the other super comp thread; so perhaps the Gloryseekers ?

Many thanks for another fine, fun-filled and thrill-filled comp, PJ. Absolutely superb.
Am looking forward to the draft comp that is imminent, where my team the 'Gloryseekers' will surely be a force to be reckoned with. I've got my team-mates' names all pencilled-in ...so you other motley assortment of prretend-Captains, please keep your paws off ! 😁

...  please keep your paws off ..   I think Howie was talking to you Max   😄

You could lower expectations and call yourselves Minimus.

Maxis it is. You can use the dollar sign if you wish but I'm sticking with the "S"

[Sir Gallivant]

I have just had it dawn on me ..... I only have to pick three ..... because whoever is remaining at the last round of the draft joins my crew. So its even easier as long as no - one steals my middle two !!!!

oh fair enough then.. you have a lot to do without looking for more $ signs. Max will deal with that! Be it known that Max is sacrificing the Harry & Meg Meltdown Show tonite for the Live Draft. I know which will be more fascinating, more productive and more tension-filled ...and it ain't the Clown Prince and Lady Muck.

MM

As someone who is a keen student of English History I nevertheless couldn't give a flying F@#k about these modern day idiots. I just can't believe it interest or amuses anyone. But each to his own. I'm with you Max

.. and many a time, that remaining person has been a star of the comp and a big earner 🙂   

[Sir Gallivant]

send me a PM, Sir G so I can do my best to avoid ruining your night!

I am afraid she is otherwise engaged Maxi lol
