Thanks benny the cunt, you did very well too.

Ok, so let me explain why I'm asking.

I came 4th in the "Monday Big Hair" and 4th at the "Wheatsheaf"

When we used to play "NPL freerolls" I was in the top 50 plus in the top 5 at 3 different venues. The top 50 became my entry into the State Finals and the other placings allowed 3 more people to move up into the top 5 to play the State Finals.

So does finishing in the top 50 of the "Dream Team" mean less compared to that of the previous NPL top 50???

For example. Zack is 6th at the Wheaty on the old system he could have moved up to 5th. He actually asked if I'd transfer the Wheaty to him but I didn't know that was possible nor did I know if I could save it for this season.

My intensions were to offer it to him if I couldn't use it for myself if you know what I mean?

If you finish top 5 on an away leaderboard, you will come off other away leaderboards and players will move up a spot; that is there are 5 guaranteed qualifiers for each away venue. Same as before.

But players are not removed from any online leader boards.

Thanks Scotty I wasn't sure of any of the above, hence my query.

Ok the top 50 in DT is of no worth other than that of a personal achievement. So, if I'm 4th on the home game wouldn't that help Zack seeing I'm only accepted into the Semis for one not both???

Sorry, if I'm coming accross a little stranger than normal but confusion has really set in LOL.

I'm pretty sure no-one ever tried to get into the old top 50 board because the reward was other people qualifying as well :roll:

Tim/Garth etc will have to confirm the exact qualification process regarding your question.

So shouldn't Bob qualify online, and therefore be removed from the Wheatsheaf.

Online qualification is only for those who haven't qualified from a live venue (regardless of placing on each leaderboard) and players arent pushed up from 6th to fill spots for online qualifiers.

At least thats how i understand it anyway.

I guess I should agree with you on that Scotty. But to be honest I was really pumped that season and worked hard to maintain top spot at one venue and from memory a 2nd and 3rd or 4th at my 2 venues.

Good point though as I never looked at it as letting someone else into the States that could possibly knock me out. :o

Funny though the 3 that moved up did finish higher than me, so your on the ball mate.

Bugger Zack he can sit out LOL.

Ohh, ok.

I don't envy whoever has to work out the qualifiers for semi final events.
