The stats page has Round 8 2017 as your previous best and this weeks score as 4th highest all time, no surprise the boozers have had high list turnover since this match

 

Another round review by ChatGPT - this one has a theme of Stars Wars given that ORFFF Round 8 Super Saturday was May the 4th

In a galaxy far, far away, where the force meets the field, the ORFFF Round 8 battles unfolded with the intensity of a lightsaber duel and the finesse of a podrace. Let's delve into the cosmic clashes that left fans both in stitches and on the edge of their seats!

Sherwood Magpies vs. Black Swamp 29ers:
It was a showdown reminiscent of the Battle of Endor, but alas, the Sherwood Magpies found themselves more like Ewoks against the mighty Black Swamp 29ers. With a score of 1268, the 29ers soared higher than the Millennium Falcon, leaving the Magpies feeling more like Banthas in a Rancor pit.

Maralinga Atoms vs. Mt Thirsty Boozers:
The Maralinga Atoms and the Mt Thirsty Boozers clashed like rival factions of the Rebel Alliance, but it was the Boozers who channeled the force, scoring an impressive 1613 points. The Atoms, though valiant in their efforts, were left feeling as lost as a stormtrooper without coordinates.

Macquarie Island Whales vs. Drouin Dropbears:
In a matchup that had fans holding their breath like they were navigating an asteroid field, the Macquarie Island Whales faced off against the Drouin Dropbears. But alas, it was the Dropbears who dropped in with a victory, leaving the Whales feeling like they were swimming against the currents of the Kessel Run.

Useless Loop Virgins vs. Jan Juc Ducks:
The Useless Loop Virgins and the Jan Juc Ducks duked it out like X-Wings and TIE Fighters in a space skirmish. With a score of 1320, the Virgins proved they were anything but useless, while the Ducks found themselves quacking up a storm but ultimately falling short in their flight towards victory.

Neptune Island Noahs vs. Port Lincoln Power:
It was a clash of titans as the Neptune Island Noahs and the Port Lincoln Power went head-to-head. With a score of 1357, the Noahs rode the waves of victory, leaving the Power feeling as powerless as a Jedi without their lightsaber.

Rutherglen Fugitives vs. Wedge Island White Pointers:
In a battle that had spectators feeling as tense as a carbonite freezing chamber, the Rutherglen Fugitives faced off against the Wedge Island White Pointers. Alas, it was the White Pointers who proved to be the apex predators of the field, leaving the Fugitives feeling more elusive than a Bothan spy.

Walpole Woylies vs. Nangkita Bucks:
The Walpole Woylies and the Nangkita Bucks clashed like starships in hyperdrive, but it was the Woylies who rocketed to victory with a score of 1322. The Bucks, though they fought with the tenacity of a Wookiee, ultimately found themselves outmatched in this intergalactic showdown.

The Stony Ponys vs. Heard Island Shags:
In a matchup that had fans reeling like they were caught in a tractor beam, the Stony Ponys faced off against the Heard Island Shags. With a score of 1449, the Ponys galloped to victory, leaving the Shags feeling as stranded as a moisture farmer on Tatooine.

------------------------------------

In the vast expanse of the ORFFF universe, these battles were but mere blips on the radar, yet they provided fans with enough excitement to rival the destruction of the Death Star.

Until next time, may the force be with all the teams, and may the fantasy points scored be ever in their favor!

 

This was a historic game!
Thanks to the fab work of TTH keeping our records up to date, I’ve just seen that this game had the biggest margin all time, and my score was the lowest of all time. It was a very lopsided game, with the Stony Ponys almost doubling my mob.
Well done @snoz !

My guys played 2 short, with an OOP ruckman, and only had 1 player crack triple figures and that was a score of 100 exactly. Compared to the Ponys who had 7 tonnes and another 4 in the 90s!
