Awesome go Worlds! We have 18 teams, 14 of them good! Go team(s) :P

Badgers will be around 150.
So this is a knockout comp yeah? Round 23 would be the last match?
Do you put into perspective that Euros only has 14 teams so the talent is stronger? E.g. 14 teams best 15 will be stronger than Worlds 18 teams beat 15.
So Euros only play 210 players each week, Worlds play 270 players per week. Therefore, the strength of the Euros squads to be stronger.

the scaling takes care of all that. euro have stronger teams but DT is the lowest scoring game but at the end of the day thats what the 2.9% bonus is for. If the euro had 18 comps im sure the scaling would be 4-5%

So therefore their scores so far this season are also higher. These gets balanced out through the percentage multiplier so that everyone theoretically is on a level playing field.

Okay cool, you've compensated for it. Badgers will be up there, but British will lose points.

Looks good :)
Those Eagles look very strong though! Hopefully my Pumas can get out of their form slump and get back to top form. Over the first 11 rounds I was averaging 156.64, but the last 3 rounds I've averaged just 138.67, a massive 18 points per game drop! :o
Cairo are 17th on average. Gah. :P

Haha! Wonder if the Petrenko/Hutchings sagas would have made the difference :P
Happy with where the Wolves sit, not gonna take out the whole thing but if they could take out a few of the "big boys" that would be nice :)
When does this start?
Llamas not bottom 5 ;D Next year, top 5 :o
Quote from: NigeyS on July 16, 2013, 07:16:03 PM

We still have British to come so you woukdnt have been seeded anyway. Just hope you don't draw the eagles first up.
man, massive discrepancy in worlds averages.
4/5 of the bottom teams and 3/4 of the top teams.
I feel sorry for asia- their comp seems significantly the most even one, and subsequently they're disadvantaged :P
You'll learn not to feel sorry for the Lambs ;)
I'm actually really happy to be sitting in 17th (even without British). Our forward line isn't great, and we've had the sagas as RB mentioned. Oh... And now we have Beams back! ;D
awesome effort mate, well done, bring in the british and let the Asians show everyone where the future of the world lies....
just thinking also Holz, it may make a bit of a difference to our AXVS scoring / ratings that we played over all 3 bye rounds, where i know British didn't not sure on worlds or Euros but obviously those three rounds took a toll on the average scores for our teams across the season.
not sure it matters just wondering what effect it might have across the 4 comps when working it all out ?

Think the only fair thing to do would be to ignore those 3 rounds from the teams averages. Otherwise the British teams will get a bigger boost in their scoring and make them better than the others...

Didn't know that. Euro isn't on and the world's combined round 11 and 12. Will have to do it without the byes.

Have to remove the bye rounds or it would completely skew the multiplier.

The bye, and a very lucky team! :P
Yeah if Eagles played during the byes then they wouldn't be first
Apologies for my slackness guys was unaware we would be participating this year. Have just sent British Points to date through to Holz.
For information to date in order the top 6 points scores from British are:
Bradford Badgers
Nottingham Hoods
Winchester Warewolves
Birmingham Bombers
Swansea Breakers
Hastings Hurricanes
Judging by the seeds - it really highlights the need for Worlds equalisation measures!
Note - a bonus 50,000 membership points for any World team that takes a dive against my Swaggers :P

actually given my depth I probably would have done better than most during the byes and could even be more infront. The thing in this comp I think is you need to be constatly putting out good scores.
If your one of these teams that goes 160 or 130 your in trouble, on your down day you will go out.

Too late for that, he already has 5 rucks. >:(
Yes, so do Cairo... but ours aren't very good.
The Pumas can actually start 3 quality rucks if they wanted, while sometimes, I don't even want to start any of ours. :(

hmmm, not entirely sure how I feel about that. But they do probably deserve it. If we had the time, could have been good to have 'qualifiers', but understand the difficulty. Might push that Beijing and Wellington get automatic qualification for next year's events? Might be pushing it..

the intention of the comp is a knockout. Realisticall the whole season has been a qualifcation to get into it. 64 out of the 66 teams get in.
Not sure about the auto qualify for next year, im reluctant as being the 65th and 66th teams in the XVs if they do it again I dont think they deserve to push a better team out.
Draw out soon
Can anyone find a nice easy template where I can put in 64 teams?
This (http://www.tennis.com.au/vic/files/2010/10/64-Draw.pdf) might work?

Ah, right... I'll have a look for you! :)
This (http://challonge.com/tournament/bracket_generator) should do the trick! 8)
The two clubs i'm involved with ranked 17th and 18th.. :( Probably gonna get a top 10 seed now aswell.
how much Im praying that I dont get a seed :P
You have to beat the seeds anyway, and if you beat them early, you inherit there draw.
Bring on the seeds!

Not if you have shotty team you dont want to face the seeds early :P
Plus I need Ellard, Clarke and Maister back and Rioli to hit his straps again before Im confident to face a seed. :P
When does this start? If it's this week then i hope i don't have a seed, as i'm missing Cornes and Dangerfield :( At least next week i get Cornes back. :D
Missing Stevie J this week, y'all can't talk! :P
But should gain Houli, Dixon which will help.
We're currently missing Matthew Boyd, Beau Waters, Paul Duffield (should be back this week though) Shane Tuck, Brent Moloney and Daniel Cross.
But I suppose we've played most of the season without Boyd and Waters, and we haven't really had our best 15 all fit and firing yet...
Can't wait to see what we can do when that happens. >:D
Did bye get taken out? But meh, Badgers will win :)
Can't really speak for the other comps but a seeded team would be very unlucky to come up against Moscow or Dublin in the first round!
would also be very unlucky to come up against a Hong Kong or Taiwan.

you have a good first round, a very dangerous non seed round 2, than your screwed

The Dillos are going to be knocked out first round. ;D
Very unlucky to draw Taiwan though.
The draw is up on the 1st page.
Eagles v Cobras,
Cobras a tricky round 1 oponent but I should have there measure.
Grope Lane? Who are these peoples?
Will have to research them. :P
Just remembered that i'm an assistant of the Metal, not the Spetsnaz ::) And the metal might meet by British team the Hurricanes in Rd 2 :O

The Winchester Wolves huh?
(without looking at their team)
Piece of cake!
I play to types of wolves then this week, Winchester and Toronto in Worlds :-\
The Winchester Werewolves, poor scores and losses 3 out of the first 5 rounds with several injured premiums, every game since we have summarily devoured the opposition and 9 or 10 wins straight, we don't even remember how to spell lose :)
(if we want to know how to spell it we can always ask our brother club in Asia, the hapless Vipers, they got lose covered ::) )
Not the star power of some teams but plenty of bite....
Top of the ladder but seeded below 2 other British teams, shows we are consistent but lack star captain scoring still, we will hold our own...
What the valkyries lack in scoring potential, we make up for in depth
mwhahahahahahaahahahahaha.
WE'RE GOING TO EAT YA'LL!

You sure have me covered in the depth of bench standard players department. The whole team is basically bench players.
you just wait, my boys have been taking it easy to lure you all into a false sense of security.
Yeow my Asian vs my Euros team ;D
And Badgers vs Bashers. They could pull out a great score :S

thats correct. hmm didnt think of that looks like I will have to do the scores for those games. More time than i thought. Still you woudl think alot of those teams will be eliminated.
Yeah, most will be eliminated for sure. But some of the contenders are likely to get a week 2 finals bye also.

I did have a pretty good team last year that got hit by mass injuries which resulted in me getting the spoon and mass picks. Douglas i picked up in the rookie draft. Goddard i got before he moved clubs for my 2nd round pick in mumford + extra stuff.
Goldy i picked up cheap for Shuey + extra when he was averaging only 78. Gibbs was my first round pick so him getting DPP really helped.
got pendles for cotchin which at the time people said I was losing out in the trade
I did trade away alot of youth and have no bench I lost JOM!!!! , Shiel, Coniglio, Ellis, Polec, Knights, Brodie Smith, Shuey to get guys like Shaw and Lids.
basically guys like eski, cloke, gibbs, lecras massively imrpvoed from the year before.
and guys i brougth in Goddard, Shaw, Goldy,Walker,Boomer all are doing better than i thougth they would,

That was a massive win for you all along. Cotchin was coming off a breakout season (Rockliff anyone?) and Pendles is always a safe 115+ average...
Damn it pickers, now I'm left with Cotchin instead of Pendles. ::)
Hard to believe that's your team
without Boyd, and to a lesser extent Sandi. Unbelievable.

At the time is was really 50/50. Pendles coming off an injury year i thought he was good for a 113-116, he is beating my expectation this year. Cotchin was coming off a 120 in the second half of the season and people were talking about him being the new swan.
was worried about a come down, he hasnt switched roles like rocky did though, at worst i was thinking 108+
I was a bit iffy on that trade, and I dunno if I would have done it in that situation- I did think the security of pendles scoring dominated cotchin though :P
I look at that team and Im sitting here with Caolan Mooney at U2 :P

yeah the safety of pendles was what i was after, I was well aware that cotchin could have kept his form up and at 23 coming off a 120 second half the trade definately wasnt one sided. I had quite a few people tell me that I was crazy trading away cotchin.
I didnt expect this differential though, I assumed they would have scored within 5 points of each other.
gonna be hard for the Dino's to gain the win

this is how it happend.
Malceski last year was a 72 average player this year 89 +12
Douglas last year was a 72 avergae player this year 101 +29
Cloke last year was a 75 average player this year 95 +20
Walker last year was a 75 avergae player this year 82 +7
barlow last year was a 96 average player this year 110 +14
goldy last year was a 79 average player this year 89 + 10
from my starting 15 this week only Lids and Simpson have gone down on averages, the other 12 (minus lecras) have gone up on average 9.8 points.
its simple alot of guys who where average last year became premo. If guys like Eski, Douglas, Walker etc.. didnt break out than I wouldnt be looking anywhere near as strong.
ok ill give you the others but almost anyone would have known cloke barlow and goldy would return to genuine premium status ;)
malceski was always capable of this but admitably had to wonder if "this year" would ever happen....
walker and douglas were just smart moves
no complaints from me, trading is part of the game, some do it well others not so well, but it will be a long time before anyone rivals this team.......
well done :) I'm jealous is all .!
Just found when Holz' picked Douglas in the rookie draft. Some of the replies are gold. ;D
Quote from: Holzman on December 30, 2012, 02:20:43 PM
Richard Douglas,
82 average without the subs will come in handy if he can average 85+
I only have Pearce on the bench than it goes to omeara i think douglas can outscore omeara.
Quote from: Adamant on January 05, 2013, 10:04:07 PM
I just got back from a holiday, and checked the last few picks. A bit of a delayed reply, but oh well lol. :P
Douglas - a 25 year old who averaged 82 without subs and close to 90 back in 2010 is a massive steal at pick #79. He could even be a chance for DPP down the track too. Nice.
8)
Quote from: picker_man on January 06, 2013, 06:52:14 AM
hahah dont think that surprise will come Holz, Douglas will struggle to ave 80+ imo. He's no longer a midfielder we have plenty of younger better players ahead of him in there and his role played as a HF last year wont see him have much value in Euro's unless he gets DPP in future yrs. A 26 yr old mid (when season starts) who has never ave over 88, is always going to be a sub candidate for us and has had two lenghty injuries keeping him out for 7 & 6 weeks in past two seasons, in comparision to some of the younger guys taken around #79 dont really see why this pick would be singled out.......
Haha good prediction pickers.

holz got the wooden spoon last year due to injuries + form drops, but his team was stacked with youth so he spent the trade period trading off things like pick 1 national, omeara etc. for players who'd under performed like cloke, barlow.
and cw- goldy, cloke and barlow weren't certainties... personally I didn't pick any of them in my DT :P There were doubts over goldy based on how many hit outs made up his point %, on cloke as a key forward in general, on barlows recovery from his leg.

(3 way trade)
IN hindsight, several of them (like the petrie one and goddard one) shouldn't have passed, but hey, hindsight's a dog :P
ftr, the last trade is reasonable (on face value it doesn't look so), but considering brock mclean was unpicked in the rookie draft at the time and averaged over 100 unsubbed, makes it pretty reasonable.
basically, everything (with the exception of sandi's injury) just went right for holz :P
he's team is pretty old though, especially his forward line which will be destroyed in 2 years tops :P
I stand by the goddard one, it was before he was traded at stkilda he would be a 95 average player and he isnt that young. To be fair mummy was coming off an injury plagued 82 average season, going 91 the year before being a top 3 ruck in the comp.
The Barlow for pick 1 was the only trade I think should have gotten canceled.
however its knowhere near the worst trade ever.
Joel Selwood for Liam Shiels.
he's team is pretty old though, especially his forward line which will be destroyed in 2 years tops
that is is, im losing walker to defense. Harvey and Petrie dont have long left. Im also going to lose goddard to gibbs to the midfield and im going to be getting late picks for a few years. Boyd hasnt got long left and eski is 29 and injury prone. I have absolutely no youth coming in.
Hogan and Swallow are my only decent youth.

rookie picks are very valuable in the euro, we only have 14 teams and small lists so there are heaps of good players avilable.
also petrie is a SC player he isnt that good at DT.
check out some of the picks
8. JBs - Shaun Atley
23. Nails - Brent Staker
24. Pickers - Arryn Siposs , i traded him for clancee pearce.
34. Hawka - Brett Goodes
43. Scrads - Majak Daw
47. Spinking - Kane Lucas
65. Holz - Robbie Tarrant
71. Holz - Charlie Dixon79. Holz - Richard DouglasI think everyone would agree that picking up the 11th highest scoring player at that pick would probably be the greatest pick in XVs history. I was looking through the list of unpicked playersand just wanted a guy to sit on my bench thought I was a genious thinking he might go up to 80 given he was a best and fairest winner.
I would know, Richard Douglas spent a small amount of time at the Wolves before I though "Nah, Clint Young will do the job...."
i got Matt Jones with pick 63 out of 70 or something in the BXV Draft i would have picked him much earlier but that was my teams first pick in the draft i think lol
nobody knew much about him then but i did thought that was a bargain
not sure why i posted that must be bored

haha lez didnt. However this was before Hmac was traded.
Yeah I traded him... But that was with Hmac dominating and Goldy didn't get a game at the time of the deal was made.
forgot Euro was DT, changes my comments a little, in regards to cloke and goldy, both far better SC options at their positions.
I must admit i would have given goldy up cheap for DT too, and i would have been wrong but who knew.....
hard to work out what a ruck is worth in DT with the changes so many are worthless, think tom nichols is better than 80% of the premiums so far.....

there were still some pretty decent players left (mostly youth with potential) - euros rookie is quality ;) I think those picks bounced around a bit more, but 29 ended up being hampson and 43 daw.

Yeh ruckmen in DT based comps aren't worth that much. Atm there are 9 players averaging between 80 and 92. Annnd Nic Nat, Bellchambers, McEvov, Maric, Griffin, Giles, Mummy and Sandi are all averaging less than 80.

Chris Masten was a pick halfway through our rookie '3rd draft' when we were constructing our initial squads, has been good :)
Wolves on track for our record lowest score, could well be knocked out first round here.
Still got two thirds of my XV to come haha!
I think the Islanders are going to knock me out...

The scores that are used here, do they include the HGA and other bonuses we get from our other comps?
uhhhh
I'm not sure about HGA, but it would include things like halving OOP and vicecaptains in some comps.
Pretty sure no HGA
As there was no HGA in Champs either.
Quote from: PowerBug on July 21, 2013, 12:59:51 PM

Pretty sure it includes everything but HGA, then you use the multiplier to get the final score. I assume that you would also not get any early team updating bonuses like the 20 point bonus in British?
One possible flaw in the weighting system might not have considered
If we're excluding HGA...
I'm pretty sure the weighting is based on scores with HGA however though. Also due to different ways HGA is worked out it'd sorta skew the data as well and make weighting not perfect.
It depends how the multiplier was created though. If it was created with HGA and other bonuses, then they should count here.

Correct stuff like OOP gets counted but no home ground advantage.

That should count because of the multiplier (Holz ninja!)
HGA - and I think all 4 comps do it the same - should all work out in the wash. Happy for it not to be included on this end
I'm glad HGA isn't counted. Everything else should be though, good job :)

AXVS uses a % of total team score - think a HGA should be set not dependant on one players performance ( as in lowest doubled)
AXVS rocks just like a tbag does :)
Multiplier was created with HGA though surely :-X
It doesn't matter, looks good to me anyway
Shame at least half my teams will be gone.
Just found out about the Asian hone ground advantage. I think it's 3% for hga. So to fix it up changing the multiplier by 1.5% and no home ground advantage. Will keep the seeds and the draw the same
The British 20 point I can't count for in the scaling but it won't count.

Double the low scoring (not half). Also thought of maybe a fixed HGA
haha yes 200% yes double that is what i meant, it is more interesting your method but very erratic as in you never know if you will actually get a HGA or not.
ours works out about 55 points a game, not sure if it is enough given an average team score around 1800.
we will review, my feel is you want a real HGA but it cant be too big that it decides every game either.
bit of a balance....
Very much so - I reckon over almost 2 years we've had about 10 games decided on HGA
Memberships might come into next year also!

you are too advanced for me, i need 3 of me to match the work you do in words...
also something for us to discuss post finals "assistants for me"
our comp is fairly raw but the main important thing is we have outstanding coaches of all the teams,very active and committed.
or should be committed ;D one of the two
The Asians is outstanding btw CW, don't sell yourself short!
Do teams with decmial point scores get rounded off? And what happens if rounded off scores are equal, do we go on absolute score or team ranking?

Not sure exactly on Cairo's score, just using what ossie has written in the Worlds thread, it's more than the Metal anyway. 5th seeds knocked out, and Cairo will play Hastings in Rd 2.
Wooo! Go Cairo! Bring on them Hurricanes. 8)
League admins, I think the subtle differences between the comps (HGA, VC, list sizes, amount of teams) is a good thing, it would be a little bland if the 4 comps were exactly the same just with different scoring methods.

Crushed the fourth seeds. As if the ladder-leading Asians team isn't seeded.
It's alright we're happy to be the underdogs...

Just a heads up, Holz. The plural of Bison is Bison. We are the Belarus Bison! I think I mentioned this when Euros first started. Every time someone says "bisons", I kill a kitten out of rage.
You've been warned.

Well, I didn't want to mention it, but you've been putting "Lahug" in brackets next to the Bison in Euros the whole time when I'm LaHug. ;)
will be changed Lahug coach of the Bison
also will do the scores tonight, was waiting on the euro but I will do that and than get this sorted.
Will be interesting to see how many seeds go out.
And somewhere in Euros I forgot where
It says "Sweddish Metal"
Grinds my gears.

I actually had it all set out to be 100% correct with LaHug coach of the Bison, my brain kicked in though and somehow typed it as Lahug
I'm out against greece :(
1234- 1157 :(
devastated because I was tossing up between jarrad grant and krakouer... and ended up going krakouer on the basis that he was playing gold coast, and grant sucks + was playing the hawks.
good call there ziplock. Literally lost you the game :(

Surely all names should technically have a capital first letter. They're proper nouns.
Names shouldn't have a capital letter in the middle of them tbh.
Should be Lahug or La_Hug

@Memph, seeding was done on average score per round, not ladder position!
I know mate, just stirring the pot.
You'd seriously not want to come up against us with Ablett in the form that he is.
Alson only the second time this season I've nailed the VC spot. Might have to keep giving Kreuzer a run now.
Haha ok! :P

Top seeds eagles faced a scare in a high scroing afair with the Cobras, just getting through with the euro bonus. The number 2 seed pumas did it slightly easier in a tough battle with the Hawks.
Poor swaggers - almost literally had no chance

Nearly claimed a seeded team in the Warewolves, good game Winchester!
Oh well, maybe next year.

your asian team knocked out your euro team. At least one was garunteed to get into round 2.
8 British Teams through to the next Round. Lets bring the cup home to Britain where it belongs, % scaling may count against us in the long run given that none of our teams made the top 5. Looks like we need to score a minimum of 1750 in our leagues to reach the top going by first week.

the top 5 all euro and worlds. You might be in abit of trouble ringo.
the cup might go to Britians neighbour in Dublin though ;)
Is anyone interested in the fact that when Holz does the weighting he does it so his team is the best ranking team of the lot? :o
Suspicious much? I think so!
I think Euros rig the weighing
Quote from: whatlez on July 24, 2013, 11:48:16 AM

its only a 2.9% increase from the worlds and the worlds normally pump out big averages. the top World teams at the moment are faultering abit. The dillos were pumping out 150+ easy when they were at full strength.
If anything the disadvantage to the british and asian as being first year comps they are abit more even. I find comps becomes less even in the trade period and middle of the road team either trade in old guns to lift thier chances or go down the youth path.

Chapman, Boyd, Stevie J, Kornes, Burgoyne. Cross, C. Cornes, Warnock (premo ruck in SC), Sam Gilbert (premo defender without his injury game) all missing from my worlds team last week.
9 players who'd probably all make best XV. It's sickening.

you should get alot of those back soon, lucky for us your elimanted.
For next year though I reckon we use finishing positions from this year as the qualif1ers with the Top 16 sides from each comp qualifying for the Cup. Top 4 from each the automatic Top 4 seeds and we use the % weighting from the season to Determine rank within the 16. (Ranking Teams against each other rather than average score).
% weighting was the only option available for this year and the % are calculated well., British were disadvantaged by 2 relative high scoring rounds which inflated the average. For those in British will know the rounds where we had teams score in excess of 2000 points.

thing is though ringo if you had those high scoring rounds before, whats to stop that happening again and you guys knocking out a bunch of seeds.
the major issue with your idea is teams can change alot with DPP and trades. Look at the eagles last year they were cripled with injuries. than the post season came, alot of players overcame injruies e.g. lecras. Got some very handy DPP e.g. Gibbs and traded very very hard getting rid of all my depth and youth.
Would have been unseeded could have drawn a big seed and kncoked them out.
We actually won :.)

you have the 9th seed Bangladesh Bears next round so your going to have to pull out a personal best to take them out.

British is a funny comp there can be huge scores but there can just as easily be very low scores.
11 Asians teams through :)
superb.
l can't believe the Crabs won, we're performing way better than we have any right to with such an incredibly young team.
Happy with the Roulettes too 8)
The Crabs willl struggle to last very long in this comp, but with a bit of luck the Roulettes should get close to the pointy end
Is there a OP edit? Or....
Watch out Hedgehogs, the Eagles are coming

Can understand Holz but I am trying to work out a fairer way for seeds. Speaking from the British, but not sure whether the same in other competitions, seedings fell this way for British team and I will put in Brackets position on British Ladder when competition commenced.

No disrespect to Lez as he had 3 high scoring rounds but should he go into Worlds as Top seed from British. Do not know the answer though just pointing out the anomalies this year.
Maybe in working out seeds use net for and against or % as it would be a common denominator across all comps.

not sure about that system, could mean teams that are lucky and have played alot of weak teams in the first half of the year are advantaged.
I dont think who you played should come into it or where you are on the ladder.
Elxam DT is a great example of this. My team had scored top 10 points but is sitting 36th as I have had the most points score on my easy. A seeding of 36 for me woudl be abit ridicolous given the number 1 seed lez would have scored less points than me.
With the pure scroing it doesnt have the bias of who you have played and while lez obviously doesnt consitently go big, the fact he has done it 3 times this year and has scored the most points makes him a big threat.
the champs league is al about ladder postion.
Yeah IMO it should be based on scoring (as Holz has done for this year).
For example, my Asians team the Lambs are top seeded Asian team because we are leading the comp for total points FOR - followed by the Folders who are like five hundred points behind us... But the Dolphins are on top of the ladder, despite them being the fourth-highest-scoring team!
If we did ladder positions IMO it would be a lot based on luck (and the last year's draw), rather than strength of your team...
Yeah, I like the highest scoring seeds for sure.
Maybe though - and it has flaws - that 4 seeds from each comp?

are you sugesting it so just each team had 4 seeds or
say top 4 seeds are the highest from each comp, than 5-8 next highest etc..
as with 4 4 3 5 the seeding was pretty even this year. British had the most seeds but their seeds werent as high as say the worlds.
Just going back to the for and against calculations iy would be as follows for British.
Badgers + 126
Hoods +230
Werewolves + 252
Breakers +191
Bombers +87
So if using for and against it takes into consideration any advantage by possibly playing weaker teams early. IMO it is a more realistic seeding method reflecting the competition coming out of. Just putting it out there as an alternative for those teams that have yet to play the weaker teams when we rate for the World Cup. Still not the ideal situation but maybe closer to true rankings.
the seeds are spread out the way they are due to discrepancies in scoring between teams in their individual competitions. British is a more evenly distributed competition compared to worlds, so subsequently had more seeds.
I just did the standard deviations for each competition:
Euros: 12.39
Worlds: 14.2
Asia: 8.32
British: 8.63
When all the scores are multiplied by their multipliers however to even them out
Euros: 12.75
Worlds: 14.2
Asia: 6.41
British: 7.48
so these standard deviations and discrepancies in the competitions would show why the seedings are a bit odd
probably messes with the multipliers as well tbh.

The Badgers lead on overall points by a mile. I should be top seed, but 7th overall low considering how much I'm winning in the British comp. Despite 5th or 6th I have the highest against and have lost to teams who pulled out season high at that stage.

We havent even looked like losing all year.
Yeah, I'm happy with Holz seedings :)
The standard deviation thing was interesting! For me though, it has pros and cons either way.
With my Swaggers out of the picture, I'm now unbias towards my World teams.
Go DUBLIN!! The only team on the left side of the draw!
Cairo v Pacific guarantees one team in the quarters.
Titans no match for the rampaging Mexico City Suns.
New Delhi! Can the fairytale continue? (Elephants first win!)

Not out of the question as the Hoods only have 3 playing forwards so are playing a player oop. Will be offset by both Pendles and Ablett though.
So Cairo Sands look like they'll score about 1450, so for me to beat them i'll need 1450*(1/0.8673) am i right? So i'll need to score about 1680 in the Sportal system. :o And i'm currently 792/8, Captain Cornes to come today.
Should be in for another nailbiter.

That's ridicoulous I betterr not go out with a 160. It equates to high 160s by the way. How do you even score that highly can you link/post the scores.

A tough week coming up for The Russian Roulettes, we come up against the Manila Folders who are in red hot form
Really need my midfield......Ablett, Swan, Griffen & ROK.......to gun it to stand any chance l think
I was thinking and I think I might have one issue with the weighting... we probably won't be able to work it out...
But anyway, I'd say generally as the season wears on there are more injuries and more XVs teams struggling to field a full team.
The weighting does take into account the 14 teams in XVs and the different scoring amounts and whatnot...
But the one thing I don't think it truly compensates for is the depth. As we all know the Eagles have a best lineup. This is brought back by some of the weighting but I don't think it truly accounts for the depth. The better players EXVs have in depth in the early rounds aren't getting used much due to minimal injury, but it is giving them a benefit in these later rounds.
Maybe I'm wrong though, or am I confused? IDK

It is a point I have thought about but in the case of the eagles is not really true. The reason why I shot up the ladder is I traded away allmy depth iI actually only have 5 forwards, 1 decent ruck and 6 good mids my backline defence is insane though. I'm just lucky I haven't had many injuries I think the most I ever haves had is 3 starters out and when that happens I had to play 2 defenders in the utility spot.
One thing I'm curious about is how the average for each comp changes per round. For example, I know a while back (before this comp started) there was an awesome round for SC but it was a poor round for DT. Obviously, this would mean Worlds teams scored higher on average while the EXV teams scored lower.
My query is, would it be better to do scaling on a per round basis? That way, if we have a week where scoring is particularly week in one comp but particularly strong in another, we wouldn't have something like the top scorer for the week in Euro losing to a team who was only the 6th best WXV team that week, just because it was SC friendly and the opposite for DT.
I know nothing about the other scoring systems but I'm sure they have good weeks and bad weeks while other comps have the opposite as well.
If this is completely stupid or doesn't even make sense, feel free to shut me down or disregard :)

That is a good idea maybee the scaling should be comp average for the season + comp round average divided by 2.

:) Anything to even it up in the case of freakishly good/bad rounds for a scoring system sounds good to me.
Sc has the same amount of points each round, no such thing as a good or bad round.
Other scoring systems for sure though
Just thinking out Loud for next year/
maybe use the weighting system to decide the seedings and then to make the competition fair all teams then use the SC scoring for the World Cup. Not ideal because certain scoring systems favour different types of players but probably more fairer than current scaling system.

agreed ringo. Certain teams woudl get massive advantages.
for example the stallions are a bttom 4 euro team, but they would be a pretty killer SC team.
Danger JPK Nic Nat and Buddy are their best 4 players. average DTers but gun SC players.
I don't really like that either :-\
The Lambs fwd line is: Stevie J, Jroo, Tippett, Petrie with other guys like Dixon & Bock in the team - very KPF heavy, as the SportsBet scoring method favors Key Fwds more than other comps... So doing it using Sc would seriously hurt the Lamb's chances :(
It is probably a case of which system is considered the fairest with the huge variations in scores with Asians and British effected by scaling v a fixed scoring system. Both systems have flaws and I accept the arguments now coming against a fixed scoring system as I was unfamiliar with other scoring systems. Can now see how the Asian teams would be disadvantaged by a fixed SC system.
Not an easy solution to come up with that does not disadvantage any XV comp. From the British system and based on last weeks scores to get into the top 5 for the week a team would have to score 1745 points to match the minimum 147 using the scaling. Only 2/3 teams may do that each week and some have already been eliminated. As can be seen from last week not one British Team made the Top 5 as no team scored more than 1731 showing the possible wide variation week to week along with the Asians. Euros and Worlds are more consistent and stable. Whilst it may not be an issue in the early rounds it may be as the competition progresses.
Please note not objecting to the competition just exploring all options to make it fair across the 4 competitions which is proving difficult and Holz has done a good job with the scaling as the option.
How about this....
Scale each competition, with the highest scoring team for that round given a score of '100', and all others scored relatively to that.
I.e.
The Dublin Destroyers score 1650, we give them a score of 100.
The Sao Paulo Pumas score 1500, we give them a score of 1500/1650 = 90.91
And we do that for each league.
If a tie (like 100 v 100), you countback previous rounds?
isn't there a statistical method that gives you a numerical result based on the average and standard deviation? If we use something like that it should roughly limit some of the issues...
that being said, just because the comps with high scoring can go really high, considering we base it off their average they can also go really low, so it evens out :P

exactly while the asians can knock out teams "better" than them they have to keep posting good scores or they are out.
look at Dublin v Folders.
Dublin 155 and 160 consistent. Folders 140 and omething like 170. If they played round 1 Folders would of got killed.
Yeah no worries Ringo not saying what you're suggesting is out of the question but just pointing out why things could get complicated with each comps' different scoring...
If you were wondering, goals are worth 12 points alone in Asians, that's why KPFs are more valuable than in something like DT.
I'm not too fussed how it's sorted TBH, happy with the way it's being run at the moment but if something better came up then no problems! :)
If its a wet weekend then the British scoring will be Inflated due to lots of contested ball , but may disadvantage Asian due to less goals and key forwards scoring less.

I am i still dont like the scoring to me it seems made up on the spot. basically i just pick guys who virtual sport seems to be bias towards. I still have no clue how the players get their scores.
SC isn't perfect for sure - but I don't think they are bias. They at least attempt to measure reality, and not only that, create comparable results over time. But I've had this argument many times :P

If i win SC though, than my opinion changes and I will be pro SC.
SC is like communism. It seems like a good idea, but it isn't
l think the current equalization system is fine. If we changed it to any specific scoring system (DT, SC, Sportsbet etc) then it would unfairly advantage teams under that umbrella, as they have been specifically selected to score well for it

Manilla send out a warning shot to the rest of the comp with a massive 171 in the game of the round taking out the top scoring team from last week and 3rd biggest score of this week in Dublin. Dublin were the last world team on the LHS of the draw and one of the comps favourites. Every seed when through except for the bison. 7th seed Badgers were lucky to go through with the lowest winning score of the round ans 2nd seed Pumas just got through with a 2 point win. The eagles post another big score and look to be one of the teams to beat, The Russian lead by Swan and Ablett got the 2nd biggest score the week and set up a monster clash with the folders.

they are up and down you should take them out this week. I think they went under 140 in the first week.
Avenge me Nost, do it for the Euro
PNL just fell short agains the Hoods :(. Although, compared to some of the beastly scores put up (Manila :o ), doubted we would have lasted too long anyway.

Going to be an interesting game between us seeing as we both have Swanny as the skipper. I expect a tough game.
hoping for another 142 from the pumas and my werewolves will take out that #2 seed. Not much fares well against a werewolf ;D

Don't know how you've been going in your comp, but the Pumas are well out of form, which would mean that you would be favourites for the match. From the first 11 rounds I averaged 156.64 (high of 173, low of 142), but over the last 5 rounds my average has dropped to 141.60 (high of 150, low of 131). Shocking form to be in as we approach finals! :(

well that's no good, i sincerely hope your team bounces back and returns to form AFTER this round :)
but to be honest while consistent my team is generally not a high scoring one very blue collar - which suits the comp it is in i guess...

Seriously how the flower do you have Ablett, Swan and Griffen. That's just ridiculous - your comp must be so one-sided it's not funny.
To be fair, Griffen was pretty shower last year

this is dream team griffen was only a 97 average player last year thats very average. If it was a SC comp I would agree with you. Plus both are old and his other lines arent that great.

Beams over Pendles is a big win given mine is DT. Barlow for Curnow is the difference though

We're gonna lose to the Strikers. This is flowering bullshower. Asians scoring system is whack. VC multiplier is a joke. Tagging should be forbidden, flower you Kornes.
Rant to be continued after final scores.
LOL Nigey- AXVS scoring system and VC multiplier are irrelevant Holz formula takes them into consideration. but how about when a key defender in SC scores 110 and in AXVS he scores 33 ?
as for tagging i could not agree more :)
look forward to continued rant however ;D

no need to be sorry the rant was quality - not nails quality but a good rant regardless :)
our scoring is a little silly but it was the only one left :) and it does make creating a list interesting and at least different.
honestly don't know how Holz does the formula for intercomp scoring it cannot be perfect but if I know holz ( that's the guy beating me in SC this week >:( ) it will be as close to perfect as possible.
Good luck in the worlds finals.

Cheers colli. Just wish my players would find the form they had at the start of the season when I was pumping out 160+ regularly. Ossie pointed out I have lost 4 of my last 6 games in worlds :(
Good luck for your finals campaign colli :)
Absolutely smashed by the Strikers. I'm at a loss for words, it's not even possible for a Worlds team to get close to 2013.5 is it? What a joke.
So I think the Lambs are through to the quarters as well, after beating the Hoods?
Lambs vs Pumas next week, could be a good one!

Well see though, Sloaney & Masten back could help you out I think! :-X
We're pretty consistent around the 1900-2000 SB points per week but haven't been going huge as much recently. I'm a bit nervous about this weekend tbh!
Time will tell!
From what I've read Sloane won't be given the clearance to train until at least Wednesday, so may miss this week, and Masten out for another week or 2 :(

Oh, I didn't even know haha. My bad. Still lost by like 115. So yeah, if Douglas didn't get tagged, Eski didn't have a shower first quarter because of his injury and Beams didn't get robbed, we would have won. Not cool. Yeah, I'm being bitter, but I don't care. :P

4 Asians, 2 Worlds, 1 British and 1 Euro team remain. With the Eagles and Badgers playing each other one comp will be eliminated this week. Tigers and Folders play each other so at least 1 Asian team is making the final 4. Suns and Pumas start as favourites to keep the Worlds hope alive.
Im tipping 1 Euro, 2 Worlds, 1 Asian at the end of this round.
Unlucky loser, eh? Gee, that one hurts a little. :(

It would also be the 5th time we have played each other this season. Played twice in the Champions. First lost 168 to 140 in the round of 8, but then beat them in the preliminary final 143 to 133. Quite a rivalry we're building!

If maca and I both end up winning this round, then that will mean we will be playing each other 3 weeks in a row (played each other final round of the WXV, then playing each other this week in first week of finals)! :o
A best of three series? :o I like it!
It would also be the 5th time we have played each other this season. Played twice in the Champions. First lost 168 to 140 in the round of 8, but then beat them in the preliminary final 143 to 133. Quite a rivalry we're building!
The MexiPaulo Rivalry? :P
Not the Sao City Rivalry? :P
Lambs to bounce back, highest scoring AXVS team for the season

Round 4
1.Serbian Eagles v 7.Bradford Badgers
UAE Tigers v 12.Manila Folders
Srilanka Strikers v 3.Mexico City Suns
6.Mongolian Lambs v 2.Sao Paulo Pumas
4 Asians, 2 Worlds, 1 British and 1 Euro team remain. With the Eagles and Badgers playing each other one comp will be eliminated this week. Tigers and Folders play each other so at least 1 Asian team is making the final 4. Suns and Pumas start as favourites to keep the Worlds hope alive.
Im tipping 1 Euro, 2 Worlds, 1 Asian at the end of this round.
Badgers would of murdered you this week.
Can't believe we lost to a team with Paul Puopolo at F1. ::)
Expected to go a lot further here, terrible week for us.

Congrats on making it to the semis Lambs...

I have Houli myself. But basically because as Nigey pointed out I had Duncan who scored 4. Basically playing with 14 players...
Oh bugger, bad luck mate. But you have GAJ who will score like three players' worth this week lol :-X

So, I think you might have jinxed GAJ. :o
:o
Did not see that coming....
As I said in the Worlds thread, that score was 32 points less than his previous lowest score this season! :o
How is my opponent going?
a VERY tough week for the AXVS scores across the board. might be the week for SC i feel.
Teams still in it from AXVS final scores no HGA:
UAE Tigers - (2034)
MONGOLIAN LAMBS (1887)
MANILA FOLDERS (1972)
SRI LANKA STRIKERS (1688.5)
Well the Lambs have smashed the Pumas!

Yeah I know. Their scaled down score is 1,454, which is still far better than my 1,310.
The other scaled Asian scores are:
Tigers - 1,567
Folders - 1,519
Strikers - 1,301

Maca you scored 1,320 (without HGA), but luckily enough it was just enough to win.
So basically the results are:
Eages 137 lost to Badgers 140
Tigers 157 defeated Folders 152
Strikers 130 lost to Suns 132
Lambs 145 defeated Pumas 131
So the top 2 seeds both crash out in the quarter finals! :o
Go Mexico City!
WE in British Salute Bradford and encourage you to take it all the way.
Serbian Eagles also out ;D
Hopefully I can make the final!
Hopefully not Maca! >:D
Lambs will be looking for a good week, bring on the Suns!!
1. Serbian Eages 137 v 7.Bradford Badgers 140[/b]
UAE Tigers 157 v 12. Manilla Folders 152
Srilanka Strikers 130 v 3.Meixco City Suns 132
6.Mongolian Lambs 145 v Sao Paulo Pumas 131
top 5
UAE Tigers 157
Manilla Folders 152
Mongolian Lambs 145
Bradford Badgers 140
Serbian Eages 137
unlucky loser: Manilla Folders 152 2nd best score of the week and go out.
lucky winner: Meixco City Suns 132 3rd worst score of the round and scrape through.
1.Serbian Eagles
2.Sao Paulo Pumas
3.Mexico City Suns
4.Buenos Aires Armadillos
5.Swedish Metal
6.Mongolian Lambs
7.Bradford Badgers
8.Russian Roulettes
9.Bangladesh Bears
10.Nottingham Hoods
11.Belarus Bisons
12.Manila Folders
13.Toronto Wolves
14.Winchester Werewolves
15.Swansea Breakers
16.Birmingham Bombers
1 unseeded team remains.
1 British, 1 World and 2 Asian Teams are left to take the title.
Go you Badgers keep them coming.
Not too happy about this, put up my weakest score all year and lose in the qualification final in the euro and get knocked out. My first loss all year coming at the worst time of the season.
even worse I had Swallow on utility spot, switched to Dixon and lost 4 points. lost the euro and world cup by 3 points.
Go Maca!
And for the love of God, we can't have an all-Asian final :/
May the best Asian win.
And I'm claiming Whatty as an Asian anyway - so 3 chances....
Go Badgers, the only team I don't have real hate/reason to want to suck remaining
2nd highest score and we still lose :(

Issac Smith was our only player last night and kicked three goals, so I think he'll get a decent score.
Lol I noticed we both have Griffen captain :o
Tigers v Badgers match up is going to be very close.
Tigers 888 unscaled and 684 scaled.
Spurr, Sandilands, Sylvia, Lee, Douglas, Griffen (C) and my Emergency for Ziebell (Farren Ray or Troy Menzel)
Badgers 682 unscaled and 591 scaled.
Barlow, Mzungu, J.White, B.Smith, Minson, Petrenko, Griffen (C)
Stevie J with a massive 181 as skipper, and a 190 from Big Drew has surely helped the Lambies out a bit.
Malceski, Cooney, Pyke, Tippett, McVeigh to come.
The Badgers are going terrible. Probs going to go down.
How are the Suns going?

1,210 with Scott Thompson, Vince, Nick Riewoldt and Sandi left to play today.
Ok cheers CF, so progress from our game:
Lambs: 1,157 from 10 (891 scaled)
Still to come: O'Keefe (VC), Malceski, Cooney, Pyke, Tippett, McVeigh
Suns: 1,210 from 11
Still to come: Thompson, Vince, Riewoldt, Sandilands
Suns have to be in the box seat atm, although Sandi concussion sub and ROK x 1.5 may help us out a bit..
Game over for me.
Sandi subbed and Spurr doing nothing.
Barlow and Mzungu killing it.
flower >:( :'(
Sandi's been subbed, the Lambs' chances just improved. #Baaa

The difference will be if Griffen gets high disposals and contested possessions or goals and lots of marks.

Tippett the only player doing anything for us tbh... And now subbed off >:(
He'll get a good score but not feeling confident about it :-\
AXVS
Tigers = 1591
Lambs = 1823
Badgers got like 1460 without Scaling
Confirming Badgers score without HGA is 1442.
1530 for Mexico City
So 1,405 with scaling for the Lambs. Congrats Maca24 & the Suns, the Lambs wish you luck in the finals! :)
Thanks Toga!
Bring on the Badgers :)

Officially Bradford Badgers scored 1383 there 2nd Lowest score of the year and what a time for them to produce this poor effort. With only 3 players toning it up was always going to be difficult to win.
The WXV final is between the Champions League Premier Sao Paulo against the World Cup Champion Mexico City. Titanic battle for sure
