TQR 14,400 Posted March 30, 2021 Fuck. Forgot deadline is tomorrow. Been stupidly busy so haven’t even started compiling my next round team. I’ll try getting round to it later, but in the meantime, I cordially invite Wormfarmer to get 2 hits right fucking now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted March 31, 2021 So for the first time in my tenure as host, I have to prepare a coin toss. And no, Bibliogryphon doesn’t have to wait and see if he’s a lucky loser since he actually scored for once! No, this time it’s theoldlady and deadsox who has to wait and see if they win the coin toss. Hey, a coin toss in March. Deadsox won one of those in 2017. But nothing eventful came from that coin toss, definitely not. But, it remains to be seen, does he move on or is he stuck in round 2? And if he loses, could theoldlady be the one who makes it all the way? Well, let’s find out now: Oldlady (Heads) vs deadsox (Tails) Heads 1-0 Tails 1-1 Tails 1-2 Tails 1-3 Deadsox moves on So, unless theoldlady ends up getting a hit in the next 11 hours, she’s stuck in round 2. As for our lucky loser system, if one of our 16 teams don’t end up submitting, this is who is up (based on total points, point differentials, age of hits, and if still tied coin flip): 1. An Fear Beag 2. HDS 3. Annami 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,439 Posted March 31, 2021 Shout-out to @HDS for being a superb opponent and for making me sweat for the full month. I was resigned to writing a loser's speech after seeing how well put-together your team was. Then again, sometimes you only need a few punts and some favourable tiebreaker conditions. One thing I'm sure of, though, is that the same luck won't carry over to my matchup with Spade, because Spade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted March 31, 2021 As it seems a little unlikely now that one of my picks will drop off in the next hour, may I offer Book my congratulations on a well deserved victory. I knew it wasn't going to be easy when I saw the draw, and so it proved. Best of luck for the rest of the Cup. Thanks again Joey for running such a great pool (even though your decision ultimately proved so costly- may the ghost of Anne Marie Panzarelli haunt you forever ) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,400 Posted March 31, 2021 Okay, so I had it in my head that you couldn’t carry over your picks from last round. So basically more than half of the team I submitted wouldn’t have made the cut. Bugger, bollocks and arse. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted April 1, 2021 @Annami well played, 9 points would normally be enough to get through to the next round so bad luck. Really hope you stick around in DL and have another go next year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted April 1, 2021 Oh, I think this will be quite the spectacular round. @Perhaps I think your team is quite good. Gene Champagne was my first sub sub (i.e. addition to the subs bench after I lost those two picks mentioned above). Angelicoussis was also a pick I had on my mind. Good luck to all! @BabyBlue I hope for better luck for you next time! A shame your joker wasn't dying as quickly as many of us, me included, thought. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
