Region of Origin

Postby BigPete33 » Thu Jul 17, 2008 7:37 pm

Please indicate if you would/would not be interested in a Region of Origin style teams event.

This means there would be teams that would nominate from each region (eg: Metro NE, Metro South, Riverland etc) and they would compete against each other for.. something.

This isn't necessarily to discuss how you would like it run, but moreso to show the level of interest before we beg the NPL to get one happening. So all we're really after at this stage is a yes/no/maybe answer.

Let us know what you think!
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

Would have been good to have a shootout with each region represented at the table, but there would be too many regions.
We've how about links I would like to know I walk the line scrunches line at how the client Lawrence etc. etc.

would be REALLY awesome

shootout with 1 from each region would be good

even if it starts out that each table only has 8 of the 13 regions represented on it - obviously can't have 13 handed tables


shootout would be good

how about this - each region enters a 20 man team (country regions maybe only enter 10 player if they can't get 20)

starts off as a shootout format with only 1 region per table

points for each region etc

Can you blokes read?


All we're after atm is a yes/no/maybe. We don't even know if one will be held yet so not a lot of point discussing the format.


There'll no doubt be a separate discussion on the format if we get enough yes's and NPL decide it's a good idea.

I'm cool with regional leader picking the top 20 :D

But seriously, hell yes for this. You all know how much I/benny the cunt crap on about BG having the best players, being the best region, etc. A chance to back that up? Hell yeah!
