Congratulations to the 8 teams (and their coaches) who have made the ORFFU 2024 Finals. @insider Ararat @Mick Korumburra @YAD69 Groote Eylandt @fresh Cow Bay @JPK Coolgardie @bryzza Nuytsland @ddsaints Pakenham @wrightbrendan Serengeti We now need to select opponents. Can we please have this done by Wednesday night. As always, top-ranked team gets first choice, then next highest ranked remaining team, and so on... Good luck to all teams.
Hey @JPK do me a favour and give me a few nights to download round by round scores for this year before the finals fixture wipes overall team scores
@JPK I've got all the score history now (thanks to @YAD69). First year in a while where I won't be pulling my hair out because I forgot to download everything before FU finals kicked off and I have to write in formulas to calculate team scores but then check them against TS leagues page to make sure nothing got missed.
You're doing a great job @fresh..........please don't stop. And you too @HOLKY.......this league needs what you're providing...
Impossible decision. Anyone capable of beating anyone on a given weekend. using the history that I’ve been knocked out by selecting the strongest opposition, I’ve been knocked out selecting the seemingly weakest opposition, I guess I’ll take the in between Coolgardie Prospectors. @Mick
I was somewhat hoping that you'd pick me!!! It either gives me a really good shot at winning the Premiership, or I get soundly belted in week 1 and get a slightly better draft pick.
Serengeti Buffalos @wrightbrendan Leaving Nuytsland Vikings @bryzza and Pakenham Parasites @ddsaints to face off @JPK
Congratulations to our week 1 finals winners: @insider Ararat @Mick Korumburra @YAD69 Groote Eylandt @ddsaints Pakenham The losers will get picks 11-through-14 in the PSD, such: 11 - Serengeti 12 - Nuytsland 13 - Coolgardie 14 - Cow Bay @insider can you please select your opponent by Friday morning so that I can upload the fixture.
@JPK The correct finishing order/Draft pick is based on scores in the elimination: 11 Coolgardie (1,160) 12 Serengeti (1,189) 13 Cow Bay (1,355) 14 Nuytsland (1,361)
Unless the rules have changed, I'm with @JPK 6. DRAFT (a) The Pre-Season Draft will commence on a date as outlined by the board. The draft will run in reverse league ladder order after the Grand Final. Ladder order is calculated as: Bottom 10 as at the end of the regular season rankings. The top eight ranks are calculated as 1 GF winner, 2 runners-up, 3-4 highest for points in semi-final loss and 5-8 highest regular season ranking in knock out final loss and adjusted for PSD trading.
Well I don't when the rules changed or that no one has picked this up ever but I've been running the draft for just about all the time and I've used the the score you got in the final loss to base the ranking on.
I've just read thru the 10 pages in the Rules discussion thread and all I could find that mentioned Draft positions occurred in 2018 in posts #66 thru#74.........(but could have missed something) there has been nothing since, and if I read those posts correctly then @JPK has listed it correctly. And I just checked my spreadsheet again and that's how I have it as well PSD DRAFT ORDER 1-10 AS PER H &A ORDER 11-14 HIGHEST RANK AFTER H&A 15-16 HIGH PTS FOR IN SF LOSS 17 RUNNER UP 18 GF WINNER
I prefer this (better for me), but the rule states ladder ranking for 1st round loss, and points scored for 2nd round loss.
