gcreptile 10,214 Posted January 21, 2017 An interesting draw! Edit: I'm a bit drunk at the moment. So I speak freely: I think it's a big disadvantage to post your team. While I considered creating my own deadpool, I thought about how to participate myself in there as well. My solution: To send my team in advance to another universaĺly respected person on this forum. Back then, I thought Rotten Ali would be a good choice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 21, 2017 Any idea how the bracket will work out? Like where each person is specifically place so we know potential opponents in the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,740 Posted January 21, 2017 Any idea how the bracket will work out? Like where each person is specifically place so we know potential opponents in the future? It's a random draw so the winner of Grim Up North vs Joey Russ, for example, can meet any of the other fifteen qualifiers for Round 2. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,740 Posted January 21, 2017 An interesting draw! I made the draw. Then Pedro joined in, so I need to scrap it and re-draw. Both times, I wound up drawn against you! Sometimes you can't avoid fate. Hah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 21, 2017 One question. Were DDT, Spade, and DI receiving byes all coincidence, or are they personally selected by you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,091 Posted January 21, 2017 One question. Were DDT, Spade, and DI receiving byes all coincidence, or are they personally selected by you?no he mentioned giving them passes as they were the highest scores in the derby deadpool. Rover and bib were randomly selected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 21, 2017 One question. Were DDT, Spade, and DI receiving byes all coincidence, or are they personally selected by you?no he mentioned giving them passes as they were the highest scores in the derby deadpool. Rover and bib were randomly selected. He mentioned the idea, but never confirmed, which why I'm asking. And besides, wouldn't CC also be a bye if he did that (he was in second place afterall)? Or is their something I don't know about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,740 Posted January 21, 2017 Believe it or not, those were the six names which came up with the List Randomiser. I had thought of "arranging" the byes as suggested by others (which would have been announced of course), but the coincidence tickled me and made that seem unnecessary. Besides, fair play to Rover, not someone I'd immediately think of giving a Bye to, but that's the luck of the draw for you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 21, 2017 If someone somehow doesn't post or pm by the deadline (not saying I want it to happen to mine, I want to win fair and square), then they forfeit, right? And what happens when both somehow doesn't show up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,740 Posted January 21, 2017 If someone somehow doesn't post or pm by the deadline (not saying I want it to happen to mine, I want to win fair and square), then they forfeit, right? Yes. And what happens when both somehow doesn't show up? Double disqualification. Though they will be given several reminders as we get close to the deadline.

Heef 166 Posted January 21, 2017 I'll be putting on my best tracksuit with initials sewn on to the breast and give my lads a fair old training workout in advance of our first round fixture. I figure that the harder they work in pre-match training, the less likely they are to make it through the fixture intact. Mind you, with the age of some of them, perhaps the best way to ensure they don't make it to the end is to not allow them a warm-up in the first place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pedro67 227 Posted January 21, 2017 3rd tiebreak = flip of a coin4th tiebreak if needed = asking my child which team has the cooler name (heh) On the possibility that the coin balances on its edge, I am considering changing my user name to 'MSC's kid is the coolest kid ever' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,740 Posted January 21, 2017 The trash talking begins, I see! Awesome. An interesting draw!Edit: I'm a bit drunk at the moment. So I speak freely: I think it's a big disadvantage to post your team. While I considered creating my own deadpool, I thought about how to participate myself in there as well. My solution: To send my team in advance to another universaĺly respected person on this forum. Back then, I thought Rotten Ali would be a good choice. Yeah, I thought it would, but then, I do recall OoO being accused of having the potential to nab other folks picks when he ran the DDP, so if he can be suspected by suspicious deadpoolers, anyone can. I would have asked a trusty DDPer to keep a copy by PM - possibly YW - but truth be told, I completely forgot about that at the time and its a bit late now! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
