    Righto guys, we've watched the pre-season. We've done the research and now, we've got an extra swing to turn that knowledge into some dollars.

    Draftstars is running a new competition over the first four weeks of the season, giving us all a chance to share in $10,000 per game.

    All you need to do is to beat former Swan and premiership captain, Big Bad Bustling Barry Hall.


    SIGN-UP TO BEAT BARRY HALL HERE

    As most of you guys know, Draftstars does most of it's business on a game-by-game basis, where you pick your team and compete against others for free, or for cash prizes. There's no long term commitment, just quick, fun games.

    For more specifics, beating Barry will be played using the AFL Fantasy scoring model, using Draftstars Turbo format, which involves selecting a single player from six different groups of player.

    It's just that easy. Pick six guys, and if your squad can beat Hall's score, then you walk away with a share of the $10,000 prize pool for that game.

    The comp will run for four weeks in total, and every single game in round one will be free to enter.

    For the remaining three weeks, the Friday night game will be free, but the other eight games will have an entry fee. Still, twelve free cracks at beating Baz is a damn good deal!

    Taking a look at the Collingwood/Bulldogs game, we can already see Halls selections.

    Tom Liberatore, Lin Jong, Easton Wood, Marcus Bontempelli, Josh Smith and Adam Treloar.

    So that's it, beat him and walk away with a share of $10k. I would love to hear some strategies in the comments, but already I'm thinking that the best way to nail Barry would be to match 5 of his picks, and focus in on his weakest link with your 6th pick. Personally, I'm looking at you Lin Jong!

    In 2016, $4.8 million was won by Draftstars player, which technically, is more than every year of Supercoach and AFL Fantasy combined.

    So there we have it. Draftstars Beat Barry. Giving you the chance to beat Barry Hall nine time per week!

      I also went with Walesys theory - cheers!

      No payouts yet, but Barry finished 717th, so by my calculations $10k shared with the 716 people who beat him = $13.96 each

      This runs for every game in the first round (and then on the next 3 Friday night games) so if you can beat Baz a few times it's not bad money! I'd expect less entrants for other games over the weekend so it should be even more lucrative.

      What's your tip to beat Baz tonight Walesy? ;)
      Baz Picked:
      Tom Liberatore, Lin Jong, Easton Wood, Marcus Bontempelli, Josh Smith and Adam Treloar.

      Barry finished 3,885th so the 3,884 people that beat him got $2.87 - easy money :)

      Its saying Barry finished 717th for me on 478 points. Plus its saying there were only 1108 entrants.
      Where are you seeing he finished 3,885th ?

      hmmm, no idea what happen there... all I know is that I'm $7.23 up after beating Baz and Wendell :D

      Tonight, I'm targetting Linsanity with a Suckling pick. Fingers are crossed.

      Bloody Wendell changed his line-up, only changed one player so then it matched my team.

      Also can't see Barry's tips for tonights game now, might have clued in....

      I think the one you entered wasn't for cash and was for bragging rights. You need to pick ones that have prizes :)

      I'm gunna be honest with that one, I've got no idea about Wendell :D kinda lucked into it :p

      Keep an eye on it, pretty sure they'll fill it in closer to the game.

      I think you're right... I wonder if the other 1108 players fell for the same thing ! I entered on the iPhone so I guess it wasn't obvious there were two comps, nor did I even think there would be more than one to look for.

      Seems pretty sill to run a promotion called beat Barry, and then have two contests named the same thing, one with $10k prize money and the other with $0. :rolleyes: Anyway, onto tonight !

      I think the other one might have been created for the SA folk to join in. Sucks that it wasn't highlighted more though :(

      I might as well put some of the $2.87 winnings from last night into the $1 buy-in game tonight as well. See if we can double up.

      Yeah I had a crack at the 2 NRL $1 comps tonight.

      Numbers will pick up before the games start, but they were both at around ~100/150 out of 1000 possible entries so hopefully will have better payouts than the AFL one tonight. I know bugger all about NRL though unfortunately.

      So entered the right comp last night and took Suckling as the difference against baz and it got up for a few bucks. Also beat Wendell in one of the NRL ones for $5. Be interesting to see how much people can accumulate over the weekend playing all the nrl and afl ones. Just waiting for baz & Wendell's teams for today's games
