Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 21, 2020 So singer Jorge Neto was looking to survive a coma, yet Jiroemon still picked him. Turned out to be the right choice too, as he’s a unique for him. So that’s 4 points for Jiroemon, and it’s also more and more likely that he’s going on to round 2, something that didn’t happen the last time he competed... JiroemonKimura vs Old Crem 7 - 3 LizLemon vs Ethushishispushingupdaisies 3 - 6 FixedBusiness vs The Unknown Man 9 - 3 Annami vs Grobler 3 - 6 HDS vs Great Uncle Bulgaria 10 - 3 An Fear Beag vs Markb4 9 - 3 DeathByArsenic vs Sean 3 - 0 Wormfarmer vs Joemoneypenny 9 - 0 Djemba Djemba vs Yorkshire Banker 6 - 9 Skinny Kiltrunner vs Sir Creep 14 - 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 21, 2020 SirC: We are tied! Joey: Yes, thanks to the strength of you choosing a great Joker! But!....you are losing the match. SirC: I’m losing? But why? Joey: Because you rely on your great Joker. SirC: I’m.....I’m penalised for getting a hit with my Joker? Joey: Let’s not call it a penalty. What one hand giveth, the other taketh away.

You got double points for your joker - you’re penalised because Skinny has so far been better at picking people who will die. Oh and that rather smug statement you made about leaving Henry Gray on the subs bench because you had such a great team is not looking so clever now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,437 Posted February 21, 2020 Much like FIFA and the head to head rules in the World Cup, the Cup needed rules for a draw, and the rule is: 11. In the event of a draw, the following tiebreaks will be used: 1st tiebreak = number of hits 2nd tiebreak = average age of hits 3rd tiebreak = flip of a coin 4th tiebreak if needed = A little game of eenie meenie miny mo (hehe) Now which complete arsehole came up with that? Being a wrestling fan I was tempted to promote both teams and have a triple threat, but we'd still be playing the 2017 Cup now with some of the players efforts that year! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted February 21, 2020 Still over a week to go, so this may yet all end up being moot. I suppose as an exercise it's all good, but I'm hoping there will be solid conclusion one way or the other. Nobody wants to win on a technicality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 24, 2020 You still got over 5 and a half days to submit something, but so far there seems to be less early submissions than usual. As such, here are the teams who have submitted so far. Skinny Kiltrunner or Sir Creep vs JiroemonKimura or Old Crem Annami or Grobler vs John Key Engineer vs Grim YoungWillz vs Wormfarmer or Joemoneypenny Bibliogryphon vs msc Torva vs Reptile Banana vs Spade_Cooley Quim Reaper vs Deathray Maryport vs Deadsox Oldlady vs DeathByArsenic or Sean An Fear Bag or Markb4 vs Alt Obits Guy DDT vs Book Djemba Djemba or Yorkshire Banker vs Joey Russ Chorizo vs HDS or Great Uncle Bulgaria Death Impends vs LizLemon or Ethushishispushingupdaisies Clorox vs FixedBusiness or The Unknown Man Many of the yet to submit are likely last minute submissions. But still, I’m hoping nobody sent their team in via the last round DM, cause if you did, I did not receive it... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted February 24, 2020 So, I might take one for the team(s) here by asking for a ruling David Abel certainly famous for being ill but also caught up in a shitstorm which wasn't of his making - I can see the aversion to ffbi cases in the rules and I'd assume he's a nil-point case, but would I be right (cos he's currently training with the rest of my squad and I'm really hoping he'll infect the terminal and tottering lot of them) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 25, 2020 I counted her as a locked down ‘hit’ when I turned in my list. I never root for people to die, but her recovery has been rather disappointing in that it was quite unexpected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
