Title: Eliminator
Post by: its me lads on May 08, 2013, 05:50:39 PM
Anyone have a tough game this week? Or did anyone lose last week?
Hope this didn't happen to anyone who played the bye.

Anyone know how eliminator match-ups work? :P

First of all thought it might be on weekly ranking, but I am playing a sh!thouse team this week despite a sh!thouse score from me last week.

Then thought it must be on overall ranking, but I'm ranked higher than some of the other blokes posting who they're playing, but they're playing worser teams this week!

Ah, right! That would make sense! :P
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: jamfrank on May 08, 2013, 06:34:55 PM
Although:

Each eligible entry will receive a ranking based on their team score at the completion of Round 5;
Each team in the top 131,072 entries will be matched up against another team in the next 131,072 entries based on their rankings;
In Round 6, these teams will be matched up and play 'head-to-head' against one another, the winner being the team that scores the most points for the round;
The winning teams proceed to the next round, losing teams are eliminated and take no further part in the Eliminator competition;
The process is repeated with all remaining teams for the remainder of the season, until there are 2 teams remaining in Round 23. The higher scoring of the two teams in Round 23 will be deemed the Eliminator Winner;
In the event of a tied score at any stage, the team with the highest total score for the season-to-date is deemed the winner - if this is equal, the winner will be the team who registered first in time.

So I guess who you play in Rd 7 is based on your round 5 & 6 scores combined?
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: LF on May 08, 2013, 06:38:11 PM
It's  based on last rounds score I had the bye last week and my eliminator ranking is the ranking I finished overall with last round.
Which is why I'm playing a really low ranked team this week.
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: Windigo on May 08, 2013, 06:45:23 PM
Had a look who I'm playing....:

"Funky Times." "Good times."  ::)

127,912 overall rank.

Has Gilbert, Jamison & Talia in defense.

Petire, Balla, Goldsack & Lynch up front.

I've scored an average of 1964 points per round and my opponent has scored 1931 points per round...

Could well find myself out after one round.....

Got through until well after the byes last year.... ;)

Post by: glynman on May 08, 2013, 10:01:59 PM
My guy is averaging 1693 and scored 1427 last week. Should be straight through to round three. Btw did anyone notice how crappy the prize is for winning the eliminator?

The overall winner of the 2013 NAB AFL Dream Team Eliminator competition will receive the first prize of 1 x double pass to the game of the winner's choice (excluding Anzac Day and Finals), 1 x AFL "Fantasy" Sherrin football and 1 x $50 Merchandise pack.

That's all you get for winning 17 games in a row?!? Definitely not worth doing trades later on just to win Eliminator rounds.
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: Scrads on May 09, 2013, 01:13:50 AM
Guys I am pretty sure they separate the top half from the bottom half from the previous weeks weekly ranks, and then determine head-to-heads randomly between the two groups.

So basically if you rank in the top half you get a random opponent from the bottom half.

Would explain why the match ups are inconsistent.

Better than no prize at all. Bit weird how they mention ANZAC Day when it clearly lands before the Eliminator competition even starts..!

funny thing about eliminator is that often the guys who u laugh at them having actually fire and end up eliminating u lol
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: rider on May 09, 2013, 10:59:42 AM
Since the Bye rounds eliminator has been a bit shower. Easy to come up against someone with no bye consideration and a full midfield of guns...  With the crappy prizes I only look at it for interest but not going to trade for it... My focus is 1. Cash League, 2. Overall, 3. Eliminator

This round I my as well have another Bye... My Rank: 4057, His Rank: 105,508

Me too, haha.  I'm somehow still in it, and I'm facing a guy this week who has Gibbs, Grimes, Goodes and Pittard in the backline and he doesn't have Swan or Ablett.  If I lose this match up I quit DT forever.

I'm in real danger of losing this round, to be honest.

I'm projected to win, but oh so closely.

Down by 134, I have Dangerfield, Terlich, Robinson.
He has Judd and Wright.

Need a big game from Dangerfield and Robinson
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: glynman on May 12, 2013, 01:58:45 PM
Even though I'm having another shocker of a week I will get through. The guy I'm playing has Wines as captain...
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: glynman on May 15, 2013, 04:19:11 PM
Tough one this week. The guy is ranked 8504 and has a decent team. Crappy backline though of Goddard, Heppell, Stevenson,  Goodes, Terlich, Vlastuin (Heath, Laird).
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: Andrew on May 17, 2013, 12:30:36 AM
I think I've got lucky this round. Even though my opponent is 10 000 places ahead of me, he's got Gibbs, Hartlett, and Stevenson in defence, Brett Goodes, Viney and Kane Mitchell in midfield, Maric, and Daisy Thomas. Going to have some headaches this week but lucky can swap Cox back into rucks to cover Maric.
Title: Re: Eliminator
Post by: RookieDTer on May 18, 2013, 11:52:32 PM
Yea, I'll be bowing out this week, barring a miracle.

190 behind.

Robinson, Monfries, Hartlett, Martin
v
Westhoff, O'Shea, Jacobs.

Still possible... just a damn site not likely
Best case:
110, 100, 120, 140
v
30, 30, 50
=win by 170.... so there is SOME margin there...

So, even a
90,90,90,90
v
50,50,69

Would give me the win... so, not all hope is lost, but.

I have Stevie J as Captain, he has Ablett.

I was down by 4 points at the end of the tigers saints game, I probably had about 20% chance of winning because it was lids and 63 against ellis and riewoldt. DT gods must have been smiling on me though! Because the stats men forgot a tackle, which moved lids from 95 to 99 so my opponent and I were then tied. I'm ranked higher! I feel for the guy, he had swan as captain over GAJ :D
