They probably won more $$ than the rest.

Also GF, except for those that buy in.

What do you think about this Garth?

get dumped? what do you mean?

After some feedback maybe this is a better field for the DREAM TEAM FINAL:

1.) Top 100 on DT scoreboard (100)
2.) Top 5 on State Away Scoreboard (25)
3.) Top 5 on Home Scoreboard (5)
4.) Winner of each Regional Scoreboard (50)
5.) WILD CARD promotion for 10 spots (ONLINE)

Thoughts on this one?



This is good :)

i am pretty sure thats an oversight - if these people are not already covered by one of the above categories, then im sure they will be included.

are u serious Sunbury? the more players, the better the points. This year i lived on the gold coast and saw the amount of players they get. i moved to tasmania mid season and saw how they struggled to get players at venues. with an average of 30 players down there, theres no hope of making dream team. u cant decide a whole season on just 1 game (ie.. all meet up for a decider) its based on a whole season. its decided on ya best 10 home and best 10 away games, lets stick to it. id prefer to play 40 venues in qld and take my best 10 games over WINNING 10 games in tassie. look into it mate, and im sure u would agree.

Guys,

Please keep your BS posts out of the ASK the 888PL forum and all associated threads.

Thanks.

Most topics placed in here are of a serious nature and I don't want to wast my time reading three pages of very lame jokes to get at the crux of an issue.

All,

I am right now working on redeveloping a brand new league/comp structure. My previous structure has been knocked back and I am back to the drawing board. The Dream Team will have a lot to do with this new structure and I am trying to develop a league that has prizes accessible to players of all skill levels.
