Hi all - first post in a while, and it's to bring your attention to what was a brilliant competition from last season - the League vs League knockout championships.



If you've got a TooSerious League, we want to know where you are in the rankings, so we can enjoy this competition and to cheer everyone on through the



I'll give you the basics here, then over the break, you can read a more detailed statement from our good mate The Tassie Hawk!

<ul>

<li>League vs League will be 16 teams from round 19 to 22 knockout.
</li>
<li>Yes, that's right, round 22, so we don't lose this competition in the wake of all the other grand finals
</li>
<li>We need current league rankings and the league average scores provided to confirm a league entry in the competition
</li>
<li>Higher ranked teams will get a seeded ranking - 1 v 16 - but with a twist. &#160;Because likely league 1 burned and league 16 saved trades, we will give a small advantage to better leagues - in line with their current league performance averages. &#160;It just means if the General badly strikes these leagues, they have a little more security (and because many great leagues were turfed last year by lurker leagues haha!)
</li>
</ul>


<div>TTH will explain the rest.... so get entering ladies and gents~!

Hey Folks



Last year we held a knockout competition for the top 16 TooSerious Leagues as at Round 17 (based on the aggregate round score for each league) during the 2011 Supercoach finals.
=>>&#160;http://tooserious.net/league-vs-leagues-the-tooserious-by-half-challenge



The NBA Crew (ranked 9th of the 16 TS leagues) overcame the TinLids (ranked 7th) by 1220 points (37412 to 36192) in the 2011 Grand Final.



We are running this again in 2012 – starting in Rd19 and finishing in Rd22 (ie Super coach Prelim Final Week).



All we require is for people to provide their league rankings AND league average per round – as at the completion of Round 17. And to solemnly promise to post their leagues aggregate score by Monday afternoon each week they remain in the League vs League competition !!!!



The top 16 leagues nominated by 7pm Wednesday 25th July will be locked in, with the NBA Crew as defending 2011 champion having earned the right to challenge the 16th ranked league during Round 18 if they do not qualify automatically on their 2012 ranking.



It has been proposed that the top ranked leagues be given some advantage over lower ranked leagues this year so we will use the league average per round (to Round 17) to handicap the matches. The difference between the league averages will be multiplied by either *10 or *20 (to be worked out before games commence) and the lower ranked league will have to win by that margin (or more) to move on to the next round.



The latest TS league rankings I have seen are as at Round 10 (http://tooserious.net/forum/afl-group2/leagues-forum12/league-ranks-before-the-byes-thread2136.0#postid-43362) – but most TS leagues have been steadily climbing the rankings since then (ie Hawks League in from high 200s to 127) and most likely a lot of the top leagues were missed:-
