Hoops FBL Elite League - Grand Final game 1

Beantown - Sorry, It was almost fulltime of the NZ game when you posted. Boucher remained in.

Skip, I was suggesting it SHOULD be based on final ladder posn after finals and NOT on total points scored mate. ;-)

If not too late dillon in for Boucher please. Otherwise team is as it was last week.

Sorry had no time to respond skip..
seems a bit fairer

Beantown - It's not based on where they finished on the ladder, it's based on their total points scored.

Skip, I like the idea of a draft lottery. I'd prefer to go by final standings (positions after all finals, not table position prior to finals) for the initial number of entries rather than total number of points though.

As you can see, in both leagues some of the highest scoring teams didn't make the GF. Seems a bit harsh that a grand finalist should get 5 initial entries to a semi finalist's 2 or 3 entries for example.

You can still get around people throwing the final round through the method you propose of awarding extra entries to the winner of that round. Ie, I'm not gonna throw my game against TR, because I stand to leapfrog him and maybe Flinders in draft entries if I win, in spite of losing 1 entry by virtue of a higher placed finish.

Savvy? ;-)

Hopefully someone pulls out :)

DB5 & Bizzy

Also, please be aware, In the unlikely event that someone in the Elite League were to quit FBL prior to next season, the winner of you GF match would be reinstated in the Elite League.

k, due to some feedback, I have reviewed the draft process for next season and am now looking for feedback on this proposed System.

Please let me know your thoughts, and I will decide later today whether to make it official.

I will implement a draft lottery.

The intial order will be based on your total regular season score.

ELITE LEAGUE
alexkrad 4385 = 8 lottery entries
skip 4457 = 7 entries
Xztatik 4466 = 6 entries
Lockie 4536 = 5 entries
Flinders80 4619 = 4 entries
TR 4922 = 3 entries
Beantown 4934 = 2 entries
Statman 5016 = 1 entry


LEAGUE TWO
Pure Silk 4018 = 8 lottery entries
clarky 4045 = 7 entire
DB5 4250 = 6 entires
hendo8888 4512 = 5 entries
Bizzy 4660 = 4 entries
Isaac 5055 = 3 entries
Ox 5101 = 2 entries
BJF 5459 = 1 entry

All games during this fortnight are all for an additional 3 entries in the lottery with the exception of the Elite League grand finalists (they will only have their 2 & 1 entries)

Seems harsh with a double penalty of relegation and a dud draft pick.

Fraid so. However, I am currently reviewing that as you are not the only person to bring it up.

I think I will turn it into a lottery to be fairer.

More on this later today.

Regardless, everyone should be playing to win this week.

skip are we getting relegated, as well as playing off for the worst picks in the second league? Have I read that correctly?

The Chelsea Daggers this week...

C: Luke 'Finally scoring some points' Schenscher
PF: Cameron 'Welcome Back' Tragardh
SF: Mitchell 'Time for a big breakout game' Creek
SG: Eddie 'How's the hand?' Gill
PG: Damian 'The Saviour' Martin (c)

BENCH
Darren 'Turn that Negative into a positive' Ng
Alex 'Pre season star' Gynes
Luke 'Just filling the team out' Cooper

Andrew 'Useless spud who will never get another game with the Daggers after almost getting us relagated' Warren

Hey Skip, are we playing to win, or lose, for better draft spots? ;-)

With a number of players either returning to the ABL during their College break or heading over for the first time, how many teams will lose players???
Considering this should be happening very soon, will this effect teams who are pretty much already in the finals???

Forestville- Fildes, Wernham
Norwood- Had 2 from what I heard, Grantham???
Centrals- Clausen
Southern- Wood
Eastern- Williams

I know some of these teams aren't playing finals, but surely there must be more players heading over??? Wasn't there something on here about a couple of North players heading over???
