AFC Draft Game 2013 - The Finals

[Allefgib]

Well folks - are we ready for a finals series?

I've had no other feedback on extra voting being done so the ladder at the end of the regular season looks like this:


FINAL LADDER

1st - Allefgib
2nd - Lawrst
3rd - Stripple (and hotly debated!)
4th - Freddy Bassett
5th - Deaneus
6th - Faith FC
7th - Footypie32
8th - alex_is_on_fire/Bacon8

The rest
The Geoffa Giants
Carl Spackler
Roo2Macca
Danoz
Hendo888
Hdecure
Buzzusto
Kristof
BACCS
Adelaide Fan

Last year a traditional finals format of was used.
1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5
then
winner 1v8 plays winner 4v5
winner 2v7 plays winner 3v6
then
the GF

Everyone happy to go with that again?

Will keep this thread for announcing games and open debate - we can create specific threads for each final.

 

[Deaneus!]

So I'm playing Stripple? Uh-oh.

Good enough for me. I rated Stripple as tied with Geoffa, so he was ~ 5th / 6th, which is where everyone else has put me. Bring it on!

 

[FAITH]

can we wait til everyone has ranked all teams and send them to kristof?

 

[Deaneus!]

can we wait til everyone has ranked all teams and send them to kristof?

but what if i have to play someone harder?

 

[Allefgib]

can we wait til everyone has ranked all teams and send them to kristof?

Yes we can. I said that in the other thread - but no one has even responded to it.

Kristof seems busy - and others seem disinterested? Come on folks, fire up and we can have a fun finals series!

 

[Geoffa32]

From 5th to top......Bring it on

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Beware the sleeping giant in 8th place...

Hopefully plenty of non-players will vote, who realise that games are won and lost in the midfield

Then you'd best rally the masses as I'm still at least half the comp down from getting votes.... (Kristof - send through what you had mate as I believe you said you would?)

 

[Elite Crow]

So Sydney really are stupid for making a forward their highest paid player sorry couldn't resist

 

[Allefgib]

Righto folks, so based on finalising votes as best we could there were a few shifts in the finals series...

Here are the first round of finals match-ups to debate.

4th vs 5th
Freddy Bassett vs Kate Upton's Fantasy Deanus

3rd vs 6th
The Greendale Human Beings (Stripple) vs Faith FC (Faith)

2nd vs 7th
The Pin Pals (Lawrst) vs The Alburquerque Isotopes (Footypie32)

1st vs 8th
Moderate Mania (allefgib) vs The Fiery Headwobblers (AIOF/Bacon8)



Anyone want to volunteer to get involved and setup the final's threads? Here is a link to 1v8 last year for format:

I'd be happy to.

Last year though once we got to this stage and had a separate thread for every match up it cluttered up the board too much and our Mods cracked the shits, shunting everything to the Backyard where the threads died a slow death.

I think a single thread would suffice with one poll, multiple options allowed.

The idea that you vote for your four winners.

Of course some dolts will stuff it up by voting for 5 or more (or 3 or less) teams and/or voting for 2 teams in the same game. That's inevitable. There are people here who think Angus Graham is a great pick up after all

So just the one thread? I'll post all the teams with a brief summary of each match? Competitors have the option of writing a brief "Why my team would win" summary to try to convince the punters?

Well I know one mod who is unlikely to crack the shits - but we should be able to manage one thread I guess. The real stuff will start warming up again soon I guess...

So yeah, go with one thread - may as well use this one? Give everyone a chance to say why there side will win.
Key for me will be for each matchup 'post' to include both sides - side by side. So matchups are easy to see.

 

[FAITH]

Cant wait to play Striple, think i can convince people that my team will win

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Hey guys....

I am heading off to Vegas for 3 weeks in a couple of days....

I am happy to either have my team delisted or I would like to nominate CarlSpackler to coach my team... Maybe he can rename them DadsArmy as I know he rated my teams veterans very highly
I truly doubt I will spend one minute over there on BF, so feel free to give me the flick.... But remember, the real winner is who has the best team at the end of the year

Maybe Geoffa vs Spackler Qualifying final for the 8th spot?

I like the qualifying final concept

OH an yeah - have a great trip mate

As long as we can get all of the teams who are playing each other right at the start of the thread, so you can easily compare and then vote.

I can see why the mods would crack the shits, as the board is a hive of activity at the moment.

I'll see how Carl goes.. but I don't see how we can keep one thread for all the finals and get accurate voting.

We need to assume a certain amount of people are stupid/apathetic I think
