Currently ranked at 35th best league and leading the way as far as FF leagues go this year, which is bittersweet. I mean it's nice and all but as far as seeing FF leagues challenge SCC for #1 overall it's a bit disappointing. That said I enjoy being part of it and hope FF Caviar goes again next year..
So 35th at present....unlikely to challenge for a top 20 place... we're about 1700pts off the pace with 6 rounds to go.
33rd last year (on average) so we're on track to match that effort, no thanks to my pathetic effort this year.

NZ,  any idea what makes the SCC boys so strong.   I feel FF group has a lot of depth and good participation but we seem to always be a rung below SCC.

Weight of numbers I think. I'm not sure how many leagues they have running but it is a lot.
I've never joined up over there but I know that there's a system where you express interest, post rankings of previous years and are put into leagues by administrators/organisers...similar to Platinum, Gold etc but on a much larger scale where one bad season does not exclude you from being in a top league. A few of our boys are of there as well...shaker, Trindacut, j959 to name a few.

First year I have been in a SCC league and ended up in SCC #14 ranked 98 , the high leagues are hand picked by the admin. and so are the lower leagues but in the lower leagues they will post up maybe 24 teams and code and it's first in if you miss out your team will be posted in next available league until you get in a league as I found out about 3 or 4 leagues later  :P

Thanks guys.   Going to hang in with FF until we crack the number 1.   Of course got to make platinum first myself.:)

Congrats to both Fid and shaker on making the GF.
May the better coach win. Good luck both!

League ranked 50th with a week to go.
Not too shabby. It's been a hard grind carrying me along I know.

Feel free to post here or pm me of your intentions re: Caviar in 2019. Will do it again.
Thanks to all.

Good work Fid. I won 6/7 prelims scoring a 2600 on the weekend but wasn't good enough here!

Congrats Shaker on winning Caviar's 2018 GF.  :)

shaker 2528 def Fid 2250

Hard luck Fid. Not having Buddy and copping a doughnut didn't help but as it turned out it wouldn't have made any difference if he played. You have been awesome for Caviar this year and I'm thankful you joined us.

Cheers to all for a competitive year. I'll update the original post in the thread with weekly highest scorers and season rankings and create a 2019 list of coaches as people confirm they are in again. Hopefully we can run the same squad again but that may not be possible and we'll see who wants to join.
