Can we get rid of those Clarke teams - thought I was safe .

Maybe if we picked his lowest scoring team each time, the others would be removed PDQ !

Sorry Murf

Only just paying this the attention it deserves. Are your dates wrong ? as unless I'm mistaken round 1 should finish after the games on 15th, and round 2 after the 19th games.

Am I missing something ? Can you clarify as my masterplan is still being drafted !

The table hasn't been updated/finalised to take into account the 14 entrants.

Just 1 goes out in Round 1 then they come thick and fast. Think it will be 3 per round.

Sorry for any confusion re the extra teams. There was a 'remove' option for me as league manager but that has disappeared. Mr Clarke if you are reading this.....

ROUND 1 CULL, DAY 3 SCORES

Congratulations to our first 5 immunees (note, this is a trial vaccine and the competition organisers can accept no responsibility for any side effects):

RCN
kingcurtley
thebillfella
owenclass
Robot


Rick misses out as he was not entered by the first deadline but should be confident enough being nearly 30 points from safety with just 5 games left.

Lowest score after tomorrow is culled. 3 teams at the bottom on around 50 points. No need to go into further detail, loads of time yet etc etc.

FINAL CALENDAR

HDEcal14.png

Notes-
1. All culls are done on round scores to date so scores carry over day to day through a round and restart from zero at the start of each round.
2. The lowest score at the end of each cull day goes out. Tie-breaks as in main rules (see second post).
3. Yep, there are only 3 days left with matches and no culls!
4. Zombie reanimations will be open to those culled part-way through the round. By my reckoning that will be 10 and then 11 zombies bashing on the door for re-entry.

ROUND 1 CULL, DAY 4 SCORES

So...
5 are immune and sitting smugly on sunloungers in Club Eurocano*
4 are feeling pretty safe in the high 70s and 80s
4 are in the squeaky bum sixties
Chaser is chasing on 59

One chair removed when the music stops tomorrow night

ROUND 1 CULL, DAY 5 SCORES

They think it's all over.... for chaser2k4 it is (bar some later zombie reanimation he can sit back and set himself up for). He ended up just over 20 points away from what, otherwise, would have been a tight and nervous end game for several of us. Just 14 cover the spread of all the non-immune.

HDE1X.png

Quick reminder of how the Round 2 culls work.

- All scores are based solely on total Round 2 scores. We all start on 0, no resetting as mid-round culls happen.
4 days of action. 3 culls. No immunities. 13 start. 10 get out alive. No cull tonight then we lose last place at the end of the day on Thursday (day 2), Friday (day 3) and Saturday (day 4). Brutal.

ROUND 2, CULL 2, DAY 1 SCORES

A rare cull-free (and not-so-rare banter-free) day sees 2 high scores, a whopping 9 in the 20s and 2 low scores. Robot's 8 and Rick's 14 will need to move upwards and not stay immobile if they want to survive tomorrow... and the day after.... and the day after.

ROUND 2, CULL 2, FINAL SCORES

Woh! A draw. I'm sure I saw Robot on 27 but he lost a point somewhere to merely catch sibrown4 who got 0 from the final game!

Claymore 1: Robot and sibrown4 fight it out tomorrow in a tie-break for Cull 2. Lowest score goes out.

Claymore 2: Also, of course, the lowest other score goes out in our 3rd cull - could be the other of them of course if they don't overtake anybody.

it may be Brutal but there is an immediate opportunity for those evicted to manage aTDF bikers team for 3 weeks. chaser2K4 is already pencilled in and some of the other candidates chose a team some time ago and are eager contestants ready for 26th June.

ROUND 2, CULL 2 TIE-BREAK

Can you cull a robot ? Claymore or just tuned off with the little switch at the back?

Sacre Bleu sibrown4 46 (Daily = 20)
Turkish Delight Robot 41 (Daily = 15)


ROUND 2, CULL 3, DAY 3 / FINAL SCORES

thebillfella bites the dust, a full 6 points from safety.

sibrown4 finds himself in peril (again) but it is all very close for the final Round 2 cull tonight with 3 within 2 of the drop and 5 within another 11. Some big games tonight. Who has players/transfers left?

Well, Portugal get smashed for 4 but I get 20 points from still having the right 2 Portuguesers in my team from Round 1!

With a couple of Spaniards lingering too that means I don't need to make any transfers tonight and so can save a couple for later. Nice.

Off We Go To Round 3. Not... if you are GeoffV

45 minutes to go and he is heading out but lots of teams just 4, 5, 6 and 7 points from safety. Could a Polish goal change things?

ROUND 2, CULL 4, FINAL SCORES

GeoffV bites the dust with sibrown4 narrowly escaping the claymore of doom.... again.
EDIT to add pretty table:

HDE4X.png

Round 3 starts today with the culls working as in Round 2 so a rare cull free evening awaits although you'll be hoping for some points as a headstart:

- All scores are based solely on total Round 3 scores. We all start on 0, no resetting as mid-round culls happen.
4 days of action. 3 culls. No immunities. 10 start. 7 get out alive. No cull on Day 1 then we lose last place at the end of the day on Monday (day 2), Tuesday (day 3) and Wednesday (day 4). Irn-Brutal.

Exit in the early rounds? MagicISay the only one not to trouble the scorers so far today. Always tomorrow.....

Everyone else on a multiple of 4. These Italian defenders seem popular.

ROUND 3, CULL 5, DAY 1 SCORES

Single figures survivors after tonight but who will get the next Exit In The Early Rounds, I say.

Well, Magic has got off to a slow start with 0. I am adopting the slow tortoise on 5 while the rest of you burned loads of transfers (I hope) to score 7 or 11.

I notice Murf has gone with the ex Man Utd player, whereas I went for the Liverpool Midfielder :lol: or is that ex too. Wanted to bring Depay in, but really didn't want to ditch any players still to play this round. Would have been worth it for 13 pts (at the moment).
