MAJORCA (TTH) vs KYOTO (@FreoDockers) This match between fellow round 1 winners is a replay of the 2022B prelim final where the Islanders upset the more highly fancied Kyoto side DARMSTADT (@WillH_VI) vs STUTTGART (@Jono Steven) This rivalry match sees Darmstadt (0-1) hosting their first home match of the season against first round winners Stuttgart. LIMA (@hoschke118) vs VANCOUVER (@Athos123) The American derby sees Lima (1-0) hosting Vancouver (0-1) with local bragging rights on the line. LAGOS (@Peter W) vs KOREA (@Chloe) Barring a draw the Lagos vs Korea match will see one of the 2 sides opening their account for the season while the other will be facing an uphill battle from a dreaded 0-2 start. --------------------------- At this stage the TS site lockout will be extended and instead of submitting via TS Leagues all Premier League round 2 teams will be submitted by posting in this round thread as follows - Richmond vs Adelaide players to be named by Friday 430pm (Melb time). - All other players to be named by Saturday 1030am (Melb time) ----------------------- Non submission of the above will result in Richmond and Adelaide players being locked in/out as at Friday 430pm (as per Round 1 sides) and/or all other players being locked in/out as at Saturday 1030am (as per Round 1 sides). Please "thumbs up" this OP and also keep an eye on this thread as we will post here if this situation changes. ----------------------- last time these teams met in the regular season was Round 4 of the 2022B season http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagues.php?leagueId=22&round=4&year=7 your opponents team and all 4 matchups can be seen here - http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagueMatchday.php?leagueId=22&round=2

Is anyone else having these issues?
@Athos123 - apologies - that is a site issue we are trying hard to rectify - all non playing in Round 1 players have disappeared from the TS Leagues entry page If you name them in this thread we will try our best to rectify over the weekend and make them available for selection before we run the round calc. However as it stands the above 13+5 for the Vultures excludes Hampson and Kerryn Peterson so please revise ASAP if required !

With only 3 players representing the Kruisers so far in their score of 268, they need a big day today to catch the Islanders 6/509. The coaching staff is regretting dropping Ali Drennan who scored 114 yesterday....
@FreoDockers It will be difficult to tell where our match stands until the Fremantle vs Collingwood match is played. Kyoto will then be looking to hit the front and set a total for the Majorca side - and Gay, Gamett and Harris in particular - to chase down in the final match of the round.
Some big scores in the Llamas v Vixens game. Unofficially Llamas (Garner 156!, Purcell 111) defeat Vixens (Hore 142!, Miller 108) with scores of 1032 to 961
A reminder can everyone please comment on their preferred week to do a round introduction at least a day prior to the first match of the week (ie Thursday for every week except for Round 4) Rd1 - @FreoDockers Rd2 - TTH Rd3 - @Jono Steven Rd4 - @hoschke118 Rd5 - @Chloe - Round starts Thursday (round post preferred by Wednesday) Rd6 - tbc Rd7 - tbc Rd8 - @Peter W Just @WillH_VI and @Athos123 to choose now Cheers TTH
Round 2 winners in the 2023 Premier League were Darmstadt by 8, Majorca by 43, Lagos by 48 and Lima by 71 - with Lima high scoring with a mammoth 1032 and Kyoto low scoring with 913. Please note that we have opened a discussion regarding potential expansion of the Premier Lague in 2024, see the thread at http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/discussion-of-gwffpl-premier-league-expansion.91475/
Just awesome - with my team scoring the lowest and Lima scoring the highest it was only logical that I cop them this week!!!
Highest in round 1 then lowest round 2 makes Kyoto the yo-yo side of the season so far, but is in reality of supremely high scores across the board this week.
