Hesi Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Well done Smiler and the Believers, too good for us today, although 2 close matches that could have gone either way. Thanks as always Pete J for your fine efforts during the day and a prompt to everyone about the amount of enjoyment PJ provides for all those that enter in this truly unique format of a competition. In all sincerity PJ, I believe we need a tweak to the 3X joker rules. The Reapers have not been able to play their 3X so far because we have yet to face anyone above us. The Ramones cannot get ahead of us when we play them in round 16 , and the Maxi's also by the time we play them in the last round. That leaves the Coyotes, who would need to make up 12 points in 2 rounds with the Reapers scoring nil. So the Reapers are left with the likelihood, of not being able to play their 3X, so maybe we need some rule to accommodate this. Any such rule would not apply to a team who had a chance to play their 3X, but chose not to. An example of this being Kelly's Heroes who could have played their 3X in Round 11, but did not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 What the bloody hell is going on? up against ANOTHER one that tips out a roughie,a horse that i would have over looked every single time in doing the form. Like the others,i hope Max had something on it,as i'd be annoyed if i tipped a roughie in a bloody comp,but had no $$ on it on the tote.

PWJ Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Interesting discussion. The Joker concept was intended to add some spice to the Super Comps and especially in the case of the Triple Joker, give teams a bit off the pace a chance of making big progress. To maintain interest essentially. Hesi's point is a valid one. In future, perhaps a team in the second round could be given an opportunity to use their TJ in the final round if they have not been able to use it previously. The bonus point system is set in stone as it rewards teams who put up a superior total but still lose on HTHs e.g. Max Factory yesterday. It also rewards teams who put in a vastly superior performance - 5-0 win, team profit etc. Before the next comp I may put the Joker concept to a vote before setting the rules. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see the Triple Joker go completely. And perhaps replace it with something that rewards team totals...eg if one or two players score heavily but loses the mact the team can still earn Comp points. eg $1,320 is the Team Bonus Point threshold now What about tripling it if the team gets to (say) $2000 ? PJ will know how many times a team has gone past $2,000 in a day. It ain't often but it can happen. I'm pickin' the Wrinkles and Jens and Rolands and Gees et al will love the idea.\ MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
